Vacunas.org (http://www.vacunas.org), a website founded by the Spanish Association of Vaccinology offers a personalized service called Ask the Expert, which answers any questions posed by the public or health professionals about vaccines and vaccination. The aim of this study was to analyze the factors associated with questions on vaccination safety and determine the characteristics of questioners and the type of question asked during the period 2008–2010. A total of 1341 questions were finally included in the analysis. Of those, 30% were related to vaccine safety. Questions about pregnant women had 5.01 higher odds of asking about safety (95% CI 2.82–8.93) than people not belonging to any risk group. Older questioners (>50 years) were less likely to ask about vaccine safety compared to younger questioners (OR: 0.44, 95% CI 0.25–0.76). Questions made after vaccination or related to influenza (including H1N1) or travel vaccines were also associated with a higher likelihood of asking about vaccine safety. These results identify risk groups (pregnant women), population groups (older people) and some vaccines (travel and influenza vaccines, including H1N1) where greater efforts to provide improved, more-tailored vaccine information in general and on the Internet are required.

En la asignatura Educación Nutricional del Grado en Nutrición Humana y Dietética se trabajan cuestiones relacionadas con las tradiciones alimentarias y culinarias y se abordan aspectos culturales, nutricionales y de salud, económicos, ambientales y agrícolas a través de la elaboración de una video-receta. Los objetivos de esta metodología son despertar el interés de los alumnos por las tradiciones culinarias, conocer el origen del patrimonio culinario y promover la recuperación de los platos tradicionales con el análisis de sus propiedades gastronómicas y nutricionales y fomentar la interculturalidad alimentaria a través del abordaje de la diversidad de las tradiciones culinarias y el reconocimiento de la propia identidad alimentaria. Para alcanzar estos objetivos los alumnos (en grupos de cuatro) deben recuperar una receta tradicional y grabar su elaboración en video. La video-receta debe recoger: ingredientes por persona, forma de elaborar el plato, contextualización de cómo, cuándo y dónde se come este plato, bebida que acompañan la comida y autoría de la receta. En los seminarios los alumnos exponen su video-receta, se discute en grupo la valoración nutricional de cada una y se reflexiona sobre cómo se podría incorporar a la alimentación actual. Como ejemplo, se puede consultar la video-receta “Potaje de calabaza”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od06YTJpZdc.

The objective of this study was to describe the Supplemental Nursing Staff´s experiences at different hospital units. A qualitative phenomenological approach was conducted; a purposeful and theoretical sampling was implemented with supplemental nursing staff at Santa Barbara Hospital of Soria (Spain), to gain a more in-depth understanding of the Supplemental Nursing Staff ´s experience. Data were collected by in-depth interviews and through a field notebook. Data were analyzed using the Giorgi proposal. Twenty-one nurses with a mean age of 46 years were included. Three main topics emerged from the data analysis: building the first contact, carving out a niche and establishing interprofessional/interpersonal relationships. We conclude that the experience of hosting the supplemental nursing staff in changing clinical environments is conditioned by various factors. It is necessary for nurses and hospital managers to establish clear objectives with regard to the supplemental nursing staff´s role in the units.

Background: Self-rated health is a subjective measure that has been related to indicators such as mortality, morbidity, functional capacity, and the use of health services. In Spain, there are few longitudinal studies associating self-rated health with hospital services use. The purpose of this study is to analyze the association between self-rated health and socioeconomic, demographic, and health variables, and the use of hospital services among the general population in the Region of Valencia, Spain. Methods: Longitudinal study of 5,275 adults who were included in the 2005 Region of Valencia Health Survey and linked to the Minimum Hospital Data Set between 2006 and 2009. Logistic regression models were used to calculate the odds ratios between use of hospital services and self-rated health, sex, age, educational level, employment status, income, country of birth, chronic conditions, disability and previous use of hospital services. Results: By the end of a 4-year follow-up period, 1,184 participants (22.4 %) had used hospital services. Use of hospital services was associated with poor self-rated health among both men and women. In men, it was also associated with unemployment, low income, and the presence of a chronic disease. In women, it was associated with low educational level, the presence of a disability, previous hospital services use, and the presence of chronic disease. Interactions were detected between self-rated health and chronic disease in men and between self-rated health and educational level in women. Conclusions: Self-rated health acts as a predictor of hospital services use. Various health and socioeconomic variables provide additional predictive capacity. Interactions were detected between self-rated health and other variables that may reflect different complex predictive models, by gender.

España fomentó durante el periodo de la ilustración borbónica la formación de expediciones científicas, entre las que se encuentra la Real Expedición Filantrópica de la Vacuna (REFV), un ejemplo de biopolítica aplicado por el Estado para proteger la salud. La expedición dio la vuelta al mundo utilizando niños como reservorio para transportar el fluido vacuno. Francisco Xavier Balmis estableció una cadena humana brazo a brazo que materializó el éxito de la misión. En este artículo se analizan las características y avatares por las que pasaron los niños que contribuyeron a la propagación de la vacuna antivariólica.

El contenido del conjunto documental conocido como «Papeles sobre la vacuna» archivado en la Real Academia Nacional de Medicina y generado por Ignacio María Ruiz de Luzuriaga (1763-1822) no ha sido estudiado hasta la fecha de forma exhaustiva. Como parte de una amplia investigación sobre estos manuscritos se describe el hallazgo de un texto inédito producido en 1801 por Ruiz de Luzuriaga que, con forma de ensayo, pretendía recopilar los conocimientos sobre el método vacunal sugerido por Edward Jenner durante los inicios de su introducción en España. Su objetivo era establecer un corpus científico y académico sobre la vacuna que facilitara su comprensión, asimilación y buena práctica entre los vacunadores españoles. El texto, contenido en el volumen 3 de los «Papeles», fue consecutivo a otros dos inmediatamente anteriores, la «Carta a D. Luis» y el «Informe imparcial sobre la vacuna». Este estudio analiza el origen y destinatarios de los tres textos, revelando la identidad de «D. Luis» y describiendo los contenidos del «Ensayo», documento hasta ahora desconocido y en el que destaca por su valor historiográfico la primera traducción al español del «Inquiry» de Jenner, realizada por Ruiz de Luzuriaga.

El siglo XX se vio castigado por una pandemia de gripe que azotó el mundo durante 3 oleadas distribuidas entre febrero de 1918 y junio de 1919. La enorme difusión y gravedad de sus casos caracterizaron a la enfermedad, que fue etiquetada con el nombre de «gripe española». El origen de esta denominación está en la ausencia de censura mediática en España, país no contendiente en la Primera Guerra Mundial, lo que propició la libre circulación de noticias sobre la pandemia, que dieron lugar al equívoco. La pandemia puso en evidencia la escasa efectividad de los recursos médicos de la época, pese al apogeo de las nuevas especialidades nacidas en la era bacteriológica. El impacto social y magnitud de la epidemia fueron recogidos, entre otros, por el periódico España Médica. Fundado y dirigido por el pediatra José Ignacio Eleizegui López (1879-1956), el análisis de las noticias de ese periodo aporta una visión sobre las claves del desarrollo de la enfermedad, la gestión administrativa y los recursos terapéuticos y preventivos empleados.

Background/rationale: Many interpersonal labor disputes stem from the lack of communication skills and the relational problems in the interactions between health professionals. Aims/methods: A qualitative study was conducted in a Spanish hospital in order to get to know how the communicative interaction between hospital nurses is like in relation to the nurses' interpersonal interaction and communication skills developed in their working relationships. Twenty-one hospital nurses between 29 and 55 years old, working in different wards, were interviewed. Open-ended interview discourses were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: The following four key themes were analyzed: communication and sender; communication and awareness of who has the problem; non-verbal communication; communication and recipient. Conclusion: The results of this study highlight the need to broaden nurses' relational–communication skills in order to increase job satisfaction.

Objective: To analyse the time evolution of the rates of mortality due to motor vehicle traffic accidents (MVTA) injuries that occurred among the general population of Comunitat Valenciana between 1987 and 2011, as well as to identify trend changes by sex and age group. Methods: An observational study of annual mortality trends between 1987 and 2011. We studied all deaths due to MVTA injuries that occurred during this period of time among the non-institutionalised population residing in Comunitat Valenciana (a Spanish Mediterranean region that had a population of 5,117,190 inhabitants in 2011). The rates of mortality due to MVTA injuries were calculated for each sex and year studied. These rates were standardised by age for the total population and for specific age groups using the direct method (age-standardised rate – ASR). Joinpoint regression models were used in order to detect significant trend changes. Additionally, the annual percentage change (APC) of the ASRs was calculated for each trend segment, which is reflected in statistically significant joinpoints. Results: For all ages, ASRs decrease greatly in both men and women (70% decrease between 1990 and 2011). In 1990 and 2011, men have rates of 36.5 and 5.2 per 100,000 men/year, respectively. In the same years, women have rates of 8.0 and 0.9 per 100,000 women/year, respectively. This decrease reaches up to 90% in the age group 15–34 years in both men and women. ASR ratios for men and women increased over time for all ages: this ratio was 3.9 in 1987; 4.6 in 1990; and 5.8 in 2011. For both men and women, there is a first significant segment (p < 0.05) with an increasing trend between 1987 and 1989–1990. After 1990, there are 3 segments with a significant decreasing APC (1990–1993, 1993–2005 and 2005–2011, in the case of men; and 1989–1996, 1999–2007 and 2007–2011, in the case of women). Conclusion: The risk of death due to motor vehicle traffic accidents injuries has decreased significantly, especially in the case of women, for the last 25 years in Comunitat Valenciana, mainly as of 2006. This may be a consequence of the road-safety measures that have been implemented in Spain and in Comunitat Valenciana since 2004. The economic crisis that this country has undergone since 2008 may have also been a contributing factor to this decrease. Despite the decrease, ASR ratios for men and women increased over time and it is still a high-risk cause of death among young men. It is thus important that the measures that helped decrease the risk of death are maintained and improved over time.

Spain’s immigrant population has increased 380 % in the last decade, accounting for 13.1 % of the total population. This fact has led her to become during 2009 the eighth recipient country of international immigrants in the world. The aim of this article is to describe the evolution of mortality and the main causes of death among the Spanish-born and foreign-born populations residing in Spain between 1999 and 2008. Age-standardised mortality rates (ASRs), average age and comparative mortality ratios among foreign-born and Spanish-born populations residing in Spain were computed for every year and sub-period by sex, cause of death and place of birth as well as by the ASR percentage change. During 1999–2008 the ASR showed a progressive decrease in the risk of death in the Spanish-born population (−17.8 % for men and −16.6 % for women) as well as in the foreign-born one (−45.9 % for men and −35.7 % for women). ASR also showed a progressive decrease for practically all the causes of death, in both populations. It has been observed that the risk of death due to neoplasms and respiratory diseases among immigrants is lower than that of their Spanish-born counterparts, but risk due to external causes is higher. Places of birth with the greater decreases are Northern Europe, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Southern Europe, and Latin America and the Caribbean. The research shows the differences in the reduction of death risk between Spanish-born and immigrant inhabitants between 1999 and 2008. These results could contribute to the ability of central and local governments to create effective health policy. Further research is necessary to examine changes in mortality trends among immigrant populations as a consequence of the economic crisis and the reforms in the Spanish health system. Spanish data sources should incorporate into their records information that enables them to find out the immigrant duration of permanence and the possible impact of this on mortality indicators.

Después de 36 años de publicación ininterrumpida de la revista Nutrición Hospitalaria, hemos recopilado los diez artículos más citados. Se muestra también la relación de los diez artículos con más citas a escala mundial; asimismo se estratifican las citaciones según el idioma, inglés o español, la temática o los años analizados. Nutr. Hosp. es, a nivel mundial, la revista de nutrición ibero-latinoamericana mejor valorada. Por el volumen de artículos publicados, con 369 ítems citables en 2014, Nutr Hosp se sitúa en cuarto lugar de todas las revistas de nutrición. Permitir la publicación de artículos en inglés o hacerlo simultáneamente en castellano y en inglés, así como estar en régimen de “Open Access” sin restricción de ningún tipo en la difusión desde el momento de aparición de los artículos, son probablemente elementos favorecedores de las citas.

Se analiza el porqué de las citaciones de los artículos. Se realizan también algunas consideraciones sobre el factor de impacto de las revistas, sus ventajas y sus posibles defectos. El factor de impacto de las revistas, desde su popularización por el Institute for Scientific Information, ha tomado una gran importancia como parámetro objetivo de evaluación de las revistas científicas y, por extensión, de todo lo que las rodea. No hay correlación con el desfase en factores de impacto de algunas revistas anglosajonas y el de las revistas escritas en otros idiomas. Probablemente se benefician de publicar en inglés y del llamado “efecto Mateo”, según el cual los investigadores científicos eminentes cosechan aplausos mucho más nutridos que otros investigadores, menos conocidos, por contribuciones equivalentes. Es paradójico también que los grandes descubrimientos de nuestra época no figuren entre los 100 artículos más citados. No hay tampoco una correlación entre todos los artículos aparecidos en una publicación y su factor de impacto; la mitad de los artículos de una revista son citados diez veces más que la otra mitad. Los artículos citados 0 veces reciben el mérito de los mejores. Lo ortodoxo sería utilizar en cada artículo el número de citas que recibe, que sería su propio factor de impacto y, para los autores, el índice H.
