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.

El proyecto EMECAS: protocolo del estudio multicéntrico en España de los efectos a corto plazo de la contaminación atmosférica sobre la salud.

The EMECAM Project demonstrated the short-term effect of air pollution on the death rate in 14 cities in Spain throughout the 1990-1995 period. The Spanish Multicentre Study on Health Effects of Air Pollution (EMECAS) is broadening these objectives by incorporating more recent data, information on hospital disease admissions and totaling 16 Spanish cities. This is an ecological time series study in which the response variables are the daily deaths and the emergency hospitalizations due to circulatory system diseases and respiratory diseases among the residents in each city. Pollutants analyses: suspended particles, SO2, NO2, CO and O3. Control variables: meteorological, calendar, seasonality and influenza trend and incidence. Statistical analysis: estimate of the association in each city by means of the construction of generalized additive Poisson regression models and metanalysis for obtaining combined estimators. The EMECAS Project began with the creation of three working groups (Exposure, Epidemiology and Analysis Methodology) which defined the protocol. The average levels of pollutants were below those established under the current regulations for sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and ozone. The NO2 and PM10 values were around those established under the regulations (40 mg/m3). This is the first study of the relationship between air pollution and disease rate among one group of Spanish cities. The pollution levels studied are moderate for some pollutants, although for others, especially NO2 and particles, these levels could entail a problem with regard to complying with the regulations in force.

Fractura bilateral de calcáneo en edad pediátrica. A propósito de un caso

OBJECTIVE: Propose and debate the treatment management for unusual traumatic pathology, both due to the age of the patient and the bilateral location. CLINICAL CASE: Bilateral calcaneal fracture in a ten year old male, after falling three meters to land on his heels. Examination revealed pain and swelling at that level, with no distal neurovascular alterations. After the clinical study, x-rays were taken, as well as a CAT scan which revealed a complex fracture of both calcanei. After 72 hours and verifying that the soft tissue was in optimal condition, the left calcaneus was immobilized with a closed cast while the right was trans!xed with a Steinmann pin following the Essex-Lopresti technique, achieved under scope to attain an acceptable reduction of the fracture and the congruency of all a"ected joints.

Partiendo tanto del análisis de la propia actividad online por medio de la observación participante, como del análisis iconográfico e iconológico de las publicaciones derivadas de dichas comunidades, se intentará determinar aquella estética que resulta favorecida con fines comerciales y que propicia el salto al mundo profesional. También se abordará la influencia del manga (cómic japonés) y del movimiento artístico conocido como Superflat en la institucionalización de dicha estética

Relación de la susceptibilidad genética y de las características anatomopatológicas del cáncer de próstata con los polimorfismos de nucleótido simple

Actualmente no se disponen de marcadores biológicos específicos para la cáncer de próstata produciéndose en muchas ocasiones biopsias prostáticas innecesarias o un sobretratamientos para cánceres indolentes. Existen cada vez más un número mayor de publicaciones sobre cómo los polimorfismos de nucleótido simple (SNP) se relacionan con la susceptibilidad al cáncer de próstata o predecir con mayor precisión qué grado de agresividad adquiere la enfermedad. Se presenta una revisión bibliográfica de las investigaciones publicadas en PubMed desde el año 2000 hasta el 2012 que ponen de manifiesto la relación de los SNP con el riesgo a padecer cáncer de próstata y con sus características anatomopatológicas.

Derivaciones en los centros de salud de Andalucía según el sexo de profesionales y pacientes: un análisis de género.

BACKGROUND It has been identified differences of medical care practice in primary care related to physician's sex. Simultaneously, there are gender inequalities in the assignment of health resources. Both aspects give rise to an increasing growing interest in the management and provision of health services. OBJECTIVES To examine the differences in the referral practice made by female and male primary care physicians working in health centers in Andalusia, to consider whether there are disparities in referrals received by men and women, and to examine the interaction between patient's sex and physician's sex. METHODS Observational, cross-sectional, and multicenter study. POPULATION 4 health districts in Andalucía and their physicians. SAMPLE 382 physicians. MEASUREMENTS referral rate per visit (RV), referral rate per patient quota (RQ), patient's sex, physician: sex, age, postgraduate family medicine specialty, size of the patient quota by sex, mean number of patients/day by sex, mean age of the patient quota by sex, and proportion of men in the quota. Health center: urban / rural, size of the team, enrolled population, and postgraduate family medicine specialty's accreditation. SOURCES databases of health districts. PERIOD OF STUDY 2010. ANALYSIS Bivariate and multivariate multilevel analysis of the referral rate per visit with mixed Poisson model. RESULTS In 2010 382 physicians made 129,161 referrals to specialized care. The RQ was 23.47 and the RV was 4.92. The RQ in women and men was 27.23 and 19.78 for women physicians, being 27.37 and 19.51 for male physicians. The RV in women and men was 4.92 and 5.48 for women physicians, being 4.54 and 4.93 for male physicians. CONCLUSION There are no differences in referral according to physician's sex. However, there are signs that might indicate the existence of gender inequality, and women patient received less referrals. There are no physician-patient's sex interaction.

Construcción y validación del cuestionario G_Clinic para medir la satisfacción laboral en profesionales de enfermería de las unidades de gestión clínica.

BACKGROUND Job satisfaction of nurses is a determinant factor in the quality and organizational adaptation of clinical management models in the current socio-economic context. The aim of this study was to construct and validate a questionnaire to measure job satisfaction of nurses in the Clinical Management Units in the Andalusian Public Health System. METHODS Clinimetric and cross-sectional study with a sample of 314 nurses of two university hospitals from Seville. Nurses were surveyed in 2011, from March to June. We used the Font Roja questionnaire adapted to our study variables. We performed analyses of correlations, reliability and construct validity, using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test the a priori model. RESULTS The end questionnaire consists of 10 items, whose internal consistency was 0.75, with a percentage of variance explaining of 63.67%. CFA confirmed 4 dimensions (work environment, work relationships, motivation, and recognition): significant χ2 (p < .001); χ2/gl = 2.013; GFI= 0.958, RMR = 0.055 y RMSEA = 0.057; AGFI = 0.927, NFI = 0.878, TLI = 0.902, CFI =0.933 e IFI = 0.935; AIC = 132.486 y ECVI = 0.423. CONCLUSION This new questionnaire (G_Clinic) improves clinimetric values of the Font Roja questionnaire, because it reduces the number of items, improves the reliability of the dimensions, increases the value of variance explained, and allows knowing job satisfaction of nurses in clinical managementt.

Estudio comparativo del aloinjerto hth vs autoinjerto de isquiotibiales en la reparación del LCA. Presentacion de resultados de nuestra serie

Objective: To present and compare the functional outcomes and degree of satisfaction of patients operated on in the Knee Unit of our hospital, using bank BTB or Hamstring Autograft. Material and Methods: There were 96 patients included in the study who were operated on between 2001 and 2009 using bank BTB, and 104 patients operated on between 2007 and 2009 using Hamstring Autograft. All of them completed the IKDC questionnaire by telephone. Results: No significant differences were found between both groups regarding the onset of pain, inflammation, or instability of the knee. A large majority of patients in both groups were satisfied or very satisfied with the results obtained (81% of the BTB, and 90 % of the hamstring group). Conclusions: There are no sound reasons to proscribe either of the two techniques; the surgeon must decide the most appropriate intervention depending on the case, personal experience, the economic situation and especially the needs of the patient.
