RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Most maternal that deaths occur in developing countries are considered unfair and can be avoided. In 2008, The WHO proposed a checklist for delivery care, in order to assess whether a simple, low-cost intervention had an impact on maternal and neonatal mortality in low-income countries. AIM: To translate, adapt and validate the content of the WHO Safe Childbirth Checklist (SCC) for its use in Colombia. METHODS: The translation of the list was carried out, adaptation was made to our context and validation of content through a panel of experts composed of 17 health workers with experience in maternal and neonatal care and safety. The reliability among the judges was calculated (Rwg) and according to the results, items were modified or added to each section of the list. RESULTS: Modifications were made to the wording of 28 items, none was eliminated, and 19 new items were added. The most important modifications were made to the management guidelines that accompany each item and the items included refer to risks inherent to our environment. CONCLUSION: The Colombian version of the SCC will be a useful tool to improve maternal and neonatal care and thereby will contribute to reducing maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality in our country.


INTRODUCCIÓN: La mayor parte de las muertes maternas ocurren en países en vías de desarrollo, se consideran injustas y pueden ser evitadas. En el 2008 la OMS propuso una lista de verificación para la atención del parto, con el fin de evaluar si una intervención simple, de bajo costo, tenía impacto sobre la mortalidad materna y neonatal en los países de bajos ingresos. OBJETIVO: Traducir, adaptar y validar el contenido de la lista de verificación del parto seguro de la OMS para su uso en Colombia. MÉTODOS: Se realizó la traducción de la lista, se realizó la adaptación a nuestro contexto y validación de contenido a través de un panel de expertos compuesto por 17 trabajadores de la salud con experiencia en seguridad y atención materna o neonatal. Se calculó la fiabilidad entre los jueces (Rwg) y de acuerdo a los resultados se modificaron o agregaron ítems a cada apartado de la lista. RESULTADOS: Se hicieron modificaciones a la redacción de 28 ítems, no se eliminó ninguno, y se agregaron 19 nuevos ítems. La mayor parte de modificaciones importantes se hicieron a las orientaciones de manejo que acompañan cada ítem y los ítems incluidos se refieren a riesgos propios de nuestro medio. CONCLUSIÓN: La versión para Colombia de la Lista de Verificación del Parto Seguro será una herramienta útil para mejorar la atención a las maternas y neonatos y con esto contribuir a recudir la morbi-mortalidad materna y neonatal en nuestro país.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This study aimed at determining the validity of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 (PedsQL™ 4.0) for the measurement of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in Colombian children. METHODS: Validation study of measurement instruments. The PedsQL™ 4.0 was applied by convenience sampling to 375 pairs of children and adolescents between the ages of 5 and 17 and to their parents-caregivers, as well as to 125 parents-caregivers of children between the ages of 2 and 4 in five cities of Colombia (Bogota, Medellin, Cali, Barranquilla and Bucaramanga). Construct validity was assessed through the use of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and criterion validity was assessed by correlations between the PedsQL™ 4.0 and the KIDSCREEN-27. RESULTS: The instrument was applied to 375 children (ages 5-18) and 125 parents of children between the ages of 2 and 4. Factor analysis revealed four factors considered suitable for the sample in both the child and parent reports, whereas Bartlett's test of sphericity showed inter-correlation between variables. Scale and subscales showed proper indicators of internal consistency. It is recommended not to include or review some of the items in the Colombian version of the scale. CONCLUSIONS: The Spanish version for Colombia of the PedsQL™ 4.0 displays suitable indicators of criterion and construct validity, therefore becoming a valuable tool for measuring HRQOL in children in our country. Some modifications are recommended for the Colombian version of the scale.

RESUMO

Introduction: The use of checklists in healthcare, has proven to be a useful means for improving safety in care and reducing errors and adverse events; however, acceptance and use by healthcare practitioners is still an important problem. Objective: To describe the degree of knowledge and acceptance of the use of checklists, and to determine the percentage of safe practices performed by healthcare workers during obstetric care in obstetrics and gynaecology units in Colombia. Method: Cross-sectional observational study. The sample consisted of healthcare teams of the obstetric areas in three institutions. The acceptance survey was given based on convenience sampling to 38 healthcare workers in institution A, 74 in institution B and 50 in institution C, and 29 maternal care observations were made in each institution. Results: It was found that healthcare workers are aware of the checklists, have used them or are using them, and show and intermediate level of favourable attitudes, institution A being the one with the most favourable attitude towards their use. The three institutions had similar percentages of compliance with safe behaviours (72-79%), but some had lower values in areas such as confirming or administering antibiotics, compliance with the hand washing protocol, and processes related to patient or family education. Conclusions: Healthcare professionals working in the obstetric units assessed had, at the time, knowledge and experience with the use of checklists and relatively good attitudes towards them; moreover, the level of compliance with safe behaviours was medium to high.


Introducción: El uso de listas de verificación en el área de la salud, ha mostrado ser una herramienta útil para mejorar la seguridad en la atención, disminuir errores y eventos adversos; sin embargo, uno de los principales problemas se presenta en la aceptación y uso que los trabajadores de la salud hacen de las mismas. Objetivo: Describir el grado de conocimiento y aceptación en el uso de listas de verificación y determinar el porcentaje de prácticas seguras que realizan los trabajadores de la salud durante la atención del parto en tres unidades de ginecobstetricia en Colombia. Metodología: Estudio observacional de corte transversal. La muestra estuvo conformada por equipos de la salud de las tres instituciones que hicieron parte del estudio en las áreas de atención a gestantes. Se aplicó, bajo un muestreo por conveniencia, la encuesta de aceptación a 38 trabajadores de la salud de la institución A, 74 de la B y 50 de la C y se realizaron 29 observaciones de atención a gestantes en cada centro. Resultados: Se encontró que los trabajadores de la salud conocen, han usado o usan listas de verificación y muestran actitudes favorables en un nivel intermedio, siendo la institución A la que mostró actitudes más favorables al uso de las mismas. Las tres instituciones tuvieron un porcentaje similar en el cumplimiento de los comportamientos seguros (72% - 79%), pero algunos de éstas mostraron valores menores en aspectos como: confirmar o suministrar antibióticos, cumplir el protocolo del lavado de manos y los procesos relacionados con la educación a los pacientes o acompafíantes. Conclusiones: Los trabajadores de las unidades de obstetricia evaluadas tenían, en ese momento, conocimientos y experiencia en el uso de listas de chequeo y actitudes algo favorables frente a las mismas; además, el nivel de cumplimiento de comportamientos seguros estuvo en un porcentaje medio-alto.

RESUMO

Introducción: La escala PedsQL 4.0® se ha probado confiable y sensible a los cambios en el estado de salud, y es de rápida y fácil aplicación. El propósito de este estudio es validar la PedsQL 4.0®a partir de la aplicación del modelo de Rasch en niños y adolescentes colombianos de ambos sexos. Métodos: Se llevó a cabo un estudio observacional de validación de instrumentos de medición. Se realizó un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia, conformado por 375 sujetos de 5 a 18 años de edad y 500 cuidadores de menores de 2 a 18 años en cinco ciudades colombianas. Las propiedades psicométricas de la escala se analizaron según el modelo de Rasch, entre ellas el ajuste, la separación y el funcionamiento diferencial del ítem. Resultados: Se encontró un adecuado ajuste de los datos al modelo de Rasch. La dimensión social presentó mayor dificultad que la dimensión de salud física en las dos versiones. Se observó consistencia interna de los ítems, mientras que para las personas, los valores de confiabilidad y separación estuvieron por debajo de lo establecido. El funcionamiento diferencial del ítem ocurrió en unas pocas variables, en especial, al comparar por ciudad. Las curvas características de los ítems presentaron umbrales desordenados. Conclusiones: Los ítems presentaron una consistencia adecuada; el análisis por personas no mostró una separación adecuada; sin embargo, se encontraron umbrales desordenados en las categorías de respuesta. No se presentó funcionamiento diferencial del ítem por sexo o por enfermedad, pero llama la atención que el sí ocurriera entre ciudades.


Introduction: The aim of this study was to validate the PedsQL 4.0TM in Colombian children and adolescents using the Rasch model. The Paediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL 4.0TM) has demonstrated to be a reliable and sensitive measurement to changes in health status, as well as being quick and easy to use. Methods: Validation study of measurement tools. The PedsQL 4.0TMwas applied to a convenience sample of 375 children and adolescents between 5 and 17 years old and 500 caregivers of children between 2 and 18 years old in five Colombian cities. The psychometric properties were analysed according to the Rasch model, including adjustment, separation, and differential item functioning (DIF). Results: The Rasch model provided adequate fits to data. The social dimension, for both versions, had greater difficulty than the physical health dimension. Internal consistency for the items was observed, while for individuals, the values of reliability and separation were lower than that established. The DIF occurred in very few variables, especially when comparing cities. The characteristic curves for the items presented disordered thresholds. Conclusions: The items had adequate internal consistency. Analysis showed adequate individual separation, but disordered thresholds were found in the response categories. No DIF was observed by sex or disease, but it is noteworthy that the DIF occurred between cities

RESUMO

Background. Poor teamwork and nontechnical skill performance are increasingly recognized as important contributing factors to errors and adverse events in the operating room. Assessment of these safety critical skills is important to facilitate improvement, however there are no tools available to assess these safety skills in Latin America. This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt and content validate the Observational Teamwork Assessment for Surgery (OTAS) tool for use in Latin America. Methods. A multi-phase, multi-method study was conducted: Phase 1: translation and back-translation; Phase 2: content validity assessed via expert consensus; Phase 3: inter-rater reliability assessed via real-time observation in 98 general surgical procedures using OTAS-S. Results. The first change in OTAS-S, was to distinguish between the surgical nurses and scrub technicians (both OR team members are captured in the nursing sub-team in the original OTAS). OTAS-S consists of 168 exemplar behaviors: 60/114 identical to the exemplars listed in the original OTAS tool, 48/114 original exemplars underwent minor modifications, 13 were duplicated (to account for the additional sub-team distinguished in OTAS-S), 6 original exemplars were removed, and 47 new exemplar behaviors were added. Inter-observer agreement was substantial (KW = 0.602; IC: 0.581-0.620). The calculated KW by phase, behaviors and teams were between 0.534 and 0.678. Conclusions. The study provides a content validated teamwork assessment tool for use within Colombian operating rooms and potentially Latin-American. OTAS-S can be used to assess the quality of teamwork in ORs, facilitate structured debriefing and thus improve patient safety and reduce team-related errors.

RESUMO

Introducción: Esta investigación tiene como objetivo principal determinar la relación entre ansiedad, depresión, calidad de vida y riesgo suicida en pacientes con dolor crónico. Método: Corresponde a un estudio de tipo descriptivo-correlacional y de corte transversal, con un censo del total de población atendida entre diciembre de 2011 y enero de 2012, bajo un muestreo consecutivo. La muestra estuvo conformada por 49 pacientes de la Clínica de Dolor del Hospital El Tunal de Bogotá (Colombia). Se usaron los siguientes instrumentos de medición: Calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (SF-36), Escala hospitalaria de ansiedad y depresión (HAD), Escala de riesgo de suicidio de Plutchik y Escala analógica numérica de dolor. Resultados:Se encontró que el mayor porcentaje de la población (75%) percibe un nivel de dolor entre moderado y severo; el 34% presenta riesgo suicida, y el 25% ideación suicida; en cuanto a la calidad de vida, la mayor parte de los pacientes sienten limitaciones en su capacidad de desplazamiento y realización de esfuerzos físicos; el 75,5% de los pacientes presentan síntomas de ansiedad y el 61,2%, de depresión. Finalmente, el riesgo de suicidio no se relacionó con los niveles de dolor percibido. Se encontraron asociaciones significativas entre riesgo de suicidio con ansiedad, depresión, salud mental, componente mental, vitalidad y rol emocional. Conclusión:Se plantea la necesidad de realizar investigaciones que permitan determinar los mediadores entre el dolory los estados emocionales, pues este parece ser un aspecto central a comprender para mejorar la efectividad de las intervenciones en estos pacientes.


Introduction: The primary objective of this research is to determine the relationship between anxiety, depression, quality of life and the risk of suicide in patients with chronic pain. Method: Cross-sectional descriptive-correlational study of a consecutive sample taken froma census of the total population seen between December 2011 and January 2012. The sample included 49 patients of the El Tunal Hospital Pain Clinic in Bogotá. The following measurement tools were used: Health-Related Quality of Life (SF-36), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Plutchik suicide risk scale and numeric pain scale. Results: It was found that the largest percentage of the population (75%) perceived pain at a moderate-to-severe level; 34%were at risk of suicide and 25% had suicidal ideation. In terms of quality of life, the majority of patients felt that they were limited in their ability to move and perform physically demanding tasks; 75.5% of patients had experienced anxiety symptoms and 61.2% had symptoms of depression. Finally, there was no correlation between the risk of suicide and the perceived levels of pain. Significant associations were found between the risk of suicide and anxiety, depression, mental health, mental component,vitality and emotional role. Conclusion: There is a need to undertake research designed to determine mediators between pain and emotional status, considering that this understanding appears to be crucial for improving the effectiveness of the interventions in these patients.
