Expert opinion on best practice guidelines and competency framework for visual screening in children
Resumo:
PURPOSE: Screening programs to detect visual abnormalities in children vary among countries. The aim of this study is to describe experts' perception of best practice guidelines and competency framework for visual screening in children. METHODS: A qualitative focus group technique was applied during the Portuguese national orthoptic congress to obtain the perception of an expert panel of 5 orthoptists and 2 ophthalmologists with experience in visual screening for children (mean age 53.43 years, SD ± 9.40). The panel received in advance a script with the description of three tuning competencies dimensions (instrumental, systemic, and interpersonal) for visual screening. The session was recorded in video and audio. Qualitative data were analyzed using a categorical technique. RESULTS: According to experts' views, six tests (35.29%) have to be included in a visual screening: distance visual acuity test, cover test, bi-prism or 4/6(Δ) prism, fusion, ocular movements, and refraction. Screening should be performed according to the child age before and after 3 years of age (17.65%). The expert panel highlighted the influence of the professional experience in the application of a screening protocol (23.53%). They also showed concern about the false negatives control (23.53%). Instrumental competencies were the most cited (54.09%), followed by interpersonal (29.51%) and systemic (16.4%). CONCLUSIONS: Orthoptists should have professional experience before starting to apply a screening protocol. False negative results are a concern that has to be more thoroughly investigated. The proposed framework focuses on core competencies highlighted by the expert panel. Competencies programs could be important do develop better screening programs.

De todas as áreas que sofrerão alterações com o surgimento das Redes Sociais, as Relações Públicas encontram-se na fila da frente desde o seu começo, uma vez que os social media implicam um público e o estabelecimento de um relacionamento com este. Mesmo as dinâmicas presentes nas RP antes da era 2.0, como é o exemplo das relações com os media, interacção com stakeholders ou a gestão de crises, não só estão presentes nas Redes Sociais como são acentuadas e amplificadas por estas. Neste mundo digital, as marcas de moda ligadas ao prêt-à-porter expandem a sua comunicação a outro nível, adaptando-se às novas tecnologias e tirando o máximo partido do potencial que estas têm para lhes oferecer. Apostam em redes sociais como o Facebook e os Blogs da área da moda & beleza de modo a envolver e cativar o seu público-alvo e stakeholders de uma forma muito mais directa, onde estes têm agora uma voz activa e um papel determinante no sucesso da marca. Idealizadas para gerar notoriedade e aumentar a reputação das marcas, como se demonstra ao longo do presente Relatório de Estágio, as Redes Sociais são agora o melhor amigo das marcas e das Relações Públicas.

The aim of this study was to describe experts’ perception of best-practice guidelines and competency framework for visual screening in children. This study uses qualitative data and shows individual/ group conceptualization. The use of evidence from qualitative studies has traditionally been a fundamental source of knowledge in the clinical and social sciences.

The harmony between the stump and the prosthesis is critical to allow it to fulfill its function enabling an efficient gait. A well fitted socket, with an efficient and comfortable suspension, allows the amputee to continue their daily living activities, maintaining the stump functional, making this correlation between socket and suspension very important in the functionality of the prosthesis, mobility and overall satisfaction with the device. Of our knowledge, the quantitative correlation between all of these factors as not yet been assessed. Aim of study: Verify and confirm the process of decision-making for four different trans-tibial prostheses with suspension systems: Hypobaric(A), PIN(B), Classic Suction(C) and Vacuum Active –VASS(D) according data provided by gait efficiency (mlO2/kg/m) imagiology (pistonning) and amputee perception.
