RESUMEN

Objective: This work sought to develop the Actuasalud platform as a useful tool for nursing that permits assessing health, in term of frailty, in population over 65 years of age. Methods: For the design and development of Actuasalud, two working groups were formed: one from nursing with different profiles, to identify the scientific content and a computer science group responsible for the software programming and development. Both teams adapted the scientific content to the technology so that the tool would allow for population screening with detection of health problems and frailty states. Results: The software was developed in three large blocks that include all the dimensions of frailty: a: sociodemographic variables, b: comorbidities, and c: assessment tools of autonomy-related needs that evaluate the dimensions of frailty. At the end of the evaluation, a detailed report is displayed through bar diagram with the diagnosis of each of the dimensions assessed. The assessment in the participating elderly showed that 44.7% (n = 38) of the population was considered not frail, and 55.3%; (n = 47) as frail. Regarding associated pathologies, high blood pressure (67.1%; n = 57), osteoarthritis and/or arthritis (55.3%; n = 47), diabetes (48.2%; n = 41) and falls during the last year (35.3%; n = 30) were highlighted. Conclusion: Actuasalud is an application that allows nursing professionals to evaluate frailty and issue a quick diagnosis with ordered sequence, which helps to provide individualized care to elderly individuals according to the problems detected during the evaluation.

RESUMEN

Within the Nursing field, it is common that when talking about prescription an association is established among drug administration, prescribed dosage, frequency and route of administration and it is also normal for this to be the case; a drug without dosage, frequency and route of administration is not of much use, given that little could be decided about its effects, safety in administration, and response of the body to substances prescribed to solve health problems. Following this common thread, when we nurses hear about prescription, we quickly associate this term with drugs, opening a collective debate between what can be prescribed and what cannot. However, we often forget our real competence in prescribing, which is undoubtedly care.

Objetivo. Desarrollar la plataforma Actuasalud como una herramienta útil para enfermería que permita evaluar la salud, en términos de fragilidad, en población mayor de 65 años. Métodos. Para el diseño y desarrollo de Actuasalud,se constituyeron dos grupos de trabajo: uno de enfermería con diferentes perfiles para identificar el contenido científico y uno informático que se responsabilizó de la programación y desarrollo del software. Ambos equipos adaptaron el contenido científico a la tecnología de manera que la herramienta permitiese hacer un cribado poblacional con detección de problemas de salud y estados de fragilidad. Resultados. Se desarrolló el software en tres grandes bloques que incluyen todas las dimensiones de fragilidad: a) variables sociodemográficas, b) comorbilidades y c) herramientas de evaluación de necesidades relacionadas con la autonomía que evalúan las dimensiones de fragilidad. Al finalizar la evaluación, se visualiza un informe detallado mediante diagrama de barras con el diagnóstico de cada una de las dimensiones evaluadas. La evaluación en los mayores participantes mostró que el 44.7% (n = 38) de la población se consideró como no frágil, y un 55.3%; (n = 47) como frágiles. En cuanto a las patologías asociadas, destacaron hipertensión arterial (67,1 %; n = 57), artrosis y/o artritis (55.3%; n = 47), diabetes (48.2 %; n = 41) y caídas en el último año (35,3 %; n = 30). Conclusión.Actuasalud es una aplicación que permite a los profesionales de enfermería evaluar fragilidad y emitir un diagnóstico de forma ágil con secuencia ordenada que ayuda a brindar cuidados individualizados a personas mayores de acuerdo los problemas detectados en la evaluación.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: compare ventilatory time between patients with the application of a disconnection protocol, managed in a coordinated way between doctor and nurse, with patients managed exclusively by the doctor. METHOD: experimental pilot study before and after. Twenty-five patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation for 24 hours or more were included, and the protocol-guided group was compared with the protocol-free group managed according to usual practice. RESULTS: by means of the multidisciplinary protocol, the time of invasive mechanical ventilation was reduced (141.94 ± 114.50 vs 113.18 ± 55.14; overall decrease of almost 29 hours), the time spent on weaning (24 hours vs 7.40 hours) and the numbers of reintubation (13% vs 0%) in comparison with the group in which the nurse did not participate. The time to weaning was shorter in the retrospective cohort (2 days vs. 5 days), as was the hospital stay (7 days vs. 9 days). CONCLUSION: the use of a multidisciplinary protocol reduces the duration of weaning, the total time of invasive mechanical ventilation and reintubations. The more active role of the nurse is a fundamental tool to obtain better results.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the trend of opinion and satisfaction indicators of the Spanish national health system from 2005 to 2017. METHODS: Ecological study of time series analyzing the trend of eight indicators of opinion and satisfaction on the Spanish national health system and its autonomous communities from 2005 to 2017. The data was obtained from the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality and from the Health Barometer. The Prais-Winsten regression method was used. RESULTS: A static tendency was observed in the perception of users on how the health system works (APC = 1.898, 95%CI -0.954 - 4.751) and decreasing opinion on the improvement of primary care (APC = -0.283; 95%CI -0.335 - -0.121), specialized (APC = -0.241, 95%CI -0.74 - -0.109) and hospitalization (APC = -0.171, 95%CI -0.307 - -0.036). Satisfaction with knowledge and follow-up by the family doctor and pediatrician showed an increasing trend (APC = 7.939, 95%CI 3.965 - 11.914). Satisfaction with medical and nursing professionals was static. No large differences were observed in the trends of the indicators studied in the autonomous communities. CONCLUSIONS: A negative trend was observed in the opinion of the Spanish national health system users. Financing, human resources, quality management systems and differences in the autonomous communities may be some of the causes.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To compare the agreement between two surgical checklists implanted in two hospitals in Spain and Argentina, using the international classification for patient safety as a framework. METHOD: This was an expert opinion study carried out using an ad hoc questionnaire in electronic format, which included 7 of the 13 categories of the international classification for patient safety. Fifteen surgical security experts from each country participated in this study by classifying the items on the checklists into the selected ICPS categories. The data were analyzed with SPSS V20 software. RESULTS: There was a greater percentage of classifications in fields related to the prevention of critical events. The category "clinical processes and procedures" was mentioned most frequently in both lists. CONCLUSION: The implementation of the surgical safety checklist is variable. Experts considered that the Argentinian list was clearer in every dimension.
