Necesidades y problemas para el desarrollo de la educaci??n para la salud en la escuela : estudio Delphi en la Regi??n de Murcia 2003

Identificar las necesidades y problemas relacionados con el desarrollo de la educaci??n para la salud en la escuela y en la Regi??n de Murcia. Planificar las acciones educativas orientadas a mejorar y preservar la salud de los escolares murcianos. 50 personas relacionadas con los objetivos de la investigaci??n, de distintos sectores y ??mbitos profesionales, de formaci??n multidisciplinar y procedentes de distintas ??reas geogr??ficas y ??mbitos de intervenci??n profesional (sanitario, educativo y social) Muestra invitada: 50, real: 38. La investigaci??n se lleva a cabo a partir del dise??o, validaci??n y ejecuci??n de un proceso de consulta interactiva en tres etapas o rondas. El equipo de investigaci??n establece, en una primera fase, el marco de trabajo con b??squeda bibliogr??fica, fijaci??n de objetivos, selecci??n de expertos y elaboraci??n del primer cuestionario. En una segunda, el equipo de expertos cumplimenta los cuestionarios y en una tercera fase se obtienen resultados y conclusiones. Tres cuestionarios de elaboraci??n propia. El primero est?? constituido por nueve preguntas abiertas con un pie o entrada para las respuestas. El segundo se construye sobre el primero en funci??n de los enunciados elaborados sobre las respuestas del primero. Es un cuestionario- escala en el que el encuestado tiene que manifestar su grado de acuerdo - disconformidad con cada una de las afirmaciones o enunciados. El tercero se confecciona en funci??n del grado de acuerdo y la importancia concedida a las afirmaciones contenidas en los enunciados del segundo. Estudio Delphi, t??cnica utilizada con finalidades prospectivas cuyo prop??sito es suscitar acuerdos entre un grupo de expertos seg??n criterios que acrediten conocimiento y experiencia en las cuestiones abordadas en la investigaci??n. El consenso se obtiene por procedimiento matem??tico de agregaci??n de juicios individuales en el que se elimina el sesgo que puede aparecer en la concurrencia presencial al evitar la interacci??n entre los participantes. El 45 por ciento de los ??tems supera el 80 por ciento de acuerdo siendo el enunciado 'La formaci??n continuada de los profesionales debe incluir la motivaci??n de los mismos, la adopci??n de actitudes responsables, la autonom??a y el desarrollo y otros valores que se reflejan en la labor profesional' el m??s seleccionado. Los resultados se clasifican en premisas que obtienen consensos (entre el 79 y 97 por ciento de acuerdo) mayor??a (entre el 66 y el 76 por ciento) Entre los primeros se encuentra el disponer de un centro de recursos de educaci??n para la salud en la escuela y motivar e incentivar al profesorado, entre los segundos: la orientaci??n publicista de los materiales editados por sanidad y los incompletos contenidos que abordan. Los modelos culturales que fomentan la educaci??n en valores facilitan el desarrollo de la educaci??n para la salud en la escuela mientras que los que potencian los aspectos acad??micos y asistenciales la dificultan.

Exploring the determinants of CAP reform: A Delphi survey of key decision-makers

A panel of key decision-makers, closely involved in the 1992, 1999 and 2003 CAP reforms, participated in a Delphi survey designed to ascertain what had prompted the European Commission to launch these reform initiatives and what factors were relevant in determining the reform packages subsequently decided by the Council.

Understanding construction competitiveness: the initial results of a Delphi survey in Finland, Sweden and the UK

The competitiveness of the construction industry is an important issue for many countries as the industry makes up a substantial part of their GDP – about 8% in the UK. A number of competitiveness studies have been undertaken at company, industry and national levels. However, there has been little focus on sustainable competitiveness and the many factors that are involved. This paper addresses that need by investigating what construction industry experts consider to be the most important factors of construction industry competitiveness. It does so by conducting a Delphi survey among industry experts in Finland, Sweden and the UK. A list of 158 factors was compiled from competitiveness reports by institutions such as World Economic Forum and International Institute of Management Development, as well as from explorative workshops in the countries involved in the study. For each of the countries, experts with different perspectives of the industry, including, consultants, contractors and clients, were asked to select their 30 most influential factors. They then ranked their chosen factors in order of importance for the competitiveness of their construction industry. The findings after the first round of the Delphi process underline the complexity of the term competitiveness and the wide range of factors that are considered important contributors to competitiveness. The results also indicate that what are considered to be the most important factors of competitiveness is likely to differ from one country to another.

Thessaly and Macedon at Delphi

The Daochos Monument at Delphi has received some scholarly attention from an art-historical and archaeological perspective; this article, however, examines it rather as a reflection of contemporary Thessalian history and discourse, an aspect which has been almost entirely neglected. Through its visual imagery and its inscriptions, the monument adopts and adapts long-standing Thessalian themes of governance and identity, and achieves a delicate balance with Macedonian concerns to forge a symbolic rapprochement between powers and cultures in the Greek north. Its dedicator, Daochos, emerges as far more than just the puppet of Philip II of Macedon. This hostile and largely Demosthenic characterisation, which remains influential even in modern historiography, is far from adequate in allowing for an understanding of the relationship between Thessalian and Macedonian motivations at this time, or of the importance of Delphi as the pan-Hellenic setting of their interaction. Looking closely at the Daochos Monument instead allows for a rare glimpse into the Thessalian perspective in all its complexity.

Content validation for level of use of feature rich systems: a Delphi study of electronic medical records systems

Introduction. Feature usage is a pre-requisite to realising the benefits of investments in feature rich systems. We propose that conceptualising the dependent variable 'system use' as 'level of use' and specifying it as a formative construct has greater value for measuring the post-adoption use of feature rich systems. We then validate the content of the construct as a first step in developing a research instrument to measure it. The context of our study is the post-adoption use of electronic medical records (EMR) by primary care physicians. Method. Initially, a literature review of the empirical context defines the scope based on prior studies. Having identified core features from the literature, they are further refined with the help of experts in a consensus seeking process that follows the Delphi technique. Results.The methodology was successfully applied to EMRs, which were selected as an example of feature rich systems. A review of EMR usage and regulatory standards provided the feature input for the first round of the Delphi process. A panel of experts then reached consensus after four rounds, identifying ten task-based features that would be indicators of level of use. Conclusions. To study why some users deploy more advanced features than others, theories of post-adoption require a rich formative dependent variable that measures level of use. We have demonstrated that a context sensitive literature review followed by refinement through a consensus seeking process is a suitable methodology to validate the content of this dependent variable. This is the first step of instrument development prior to statistical confirmation with a larger sample.
