Enabling the nurse to act according to these concepts and beyond any "doubt and suspicion" of illegality.

Niveles de evidencia clínica y grados de recomendación.

An update of the levels of scientific evidence stating the varying degrees of recommendation for asymptomatic patients, indicating which procedures are most appropriate and what should be avoided all the systems described, we seek one that meets the principle of simplicity and utility. We chose for our setting the valuation of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, Oxford (OCEBM). This classification has the advantage that assures us the knowledge on each scenario, its high degree of specialization. It also has the prerogative to clarify how it affects the lack of methodological rigor to the study design, reducing its assessment not only in the grading of the evidence, but also on the strength of recommendations.

Adaptación y validación al español del cuestionario 4CornerSAT para la medida de la satisfacción profesional del personal médico de atención especializada.

BACKGROUND Satisfaction of physicians is a concern in the healthcare sector, and it requires a multi-dimensional questionnaire in Spanish which studies their high-order needs. The objectives of this study are to adapt the 4CornerSAT Questionnaire to measure career satisfaction of physicians and to evaluate its validity in our context. METHOD The 4CornerSAT Questionnaire was adapted into Spanish, validating it among physicians of hospitals in Andalusia, Spain. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to corroborate the a priori model, and it was evaluated the internal consistency and the construct validity through the Cronbach's alpha and the correlation between the scale and the global item, respectively. RESULTS The adapted questionnaire was administrated to 121 specialist physicians. The CFA corroborated the four dimensions of the questionnaire (χ2=114.64, df=94, p<0.07; χ2/df=1.22; RMSEA=0.04). The internal consistency obtained an α=0.92 and the correlation between the summed scale and the global item verified the construct validity (r=0.77; p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The 4CornerSAT questionnaire was adapted to Spanish, identifying an adequate construct validity and internal consistency.
