Occupational Therapy in Psychiatric Short-Term Hospitalization Units: Scoping Review.

Given the context, the overarching aim is to identify scientific publications on occupational therapy in Psychiatric-Short-Term-Hospitalization-Units. Specific objectives include: (a) Analyzing the historical development of this research area; (b) Synthesizing existing evidence on the nature of documentary sources on occupational therapy in in Psychiatric-Short-Term-Hospitalization-Units; (c) Detailing the volume of scientific literature on occupational therapy in these units; (e) Evaluating available evidence on occupational therapy interventions to improve functionality, quality of life, and recovery in individuals admitted to in Psychiatric-Short-Term-Hospitalization-Units. A scoping review method was employed to conduct a historical mapping of research on in Psychiatric-Short-Term-Hospitalization-Units. The review proceeded in five stages following PRISMA guidelines. After applying selection criteria, the search identified 446 references. Findings are presented under three headings: (a) Historical trends in the scientific literature on occupational therapy and in Psychiatric-Short-Term-Hospitalization-Units; (b) Nature and volume of articles included in the occupational therapy synthesis in Psychiatric Short-Term Hospitalization Units; (c) Data extraction on methodological variables in the research of occupational therapy articles in in Psychiatric-Short-Term-Hospitalization-Units; and (d) Data extraction on research outcome variables of occupational therapy articles in Psychiatric Short-Term Hospitalization Units. The growth of occupational therapy in in Psychiatric-Short-Term-Hospitalization-Units is emphasized, with an increase in qualitative studies. Occupational therapy is underscored as an integral part of care, supporting the diversity and effectiveness of interventions. Common diagnoses include schizophrenia and depressive disorders. Group interventions and the spiritual dimension positively influence the quality of care and meaningful routines for recovery in in Psychiatric-Short-Term-Hospitalization-Units.

Efficacy and safety of robotic spine surgery: systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Robotic surgery (RS) may offer benefits compared with freehand/conventional surgery (FS) in the treatment of patients with spinal disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RS versus FS in spinal fusion. METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed. Data analysis and risk of bias assessment were analysed using REVMAN V5.3. RESULTS: We found 11 randomised clinical trials involving 817 patients (FS: 408, RS: 409). The main diagnosis was degenerative spine disease. SpineAssist, Renaissance (Mazor Robotics), Tianji Robot and TiRobot robots (TINAVI Medical Technologies) were used. Pedicle screw placement within the safety zone (grades A + B according to the Gertzbein and Robbins scale) ranged from 93% to 100% in FS versus 85-100% in RS (relative risk 1.01, 95% CI 1.00-1.03, p = 0.14). Regarding intervention time, the meta-analysis showed a mean difference (MD) of 6.45 min (95% CI -13.59 to 26.49, p = 0.53). Mean hospital stay was MD of -0.36 days (95% CI -1.03 to 0.31, p = 0.30) with no differences between groups. Contradictory results were found regarding fluoroscopy time, although there seems to be a lower radiation dose in RS versus FS (p < 0.05). Regarding safety, the studies included surgical revision frequency. CONCLUSIONS: No conclusive results were found suggesting that there are benefits in using RS over FS for spinal fusion. Further research with adequate patient selection, robot type and quality-of-life variables is needed. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: level 1.

A Q-method approach to perceptions of professional reasoning in occupational therapy undergraduates.

BACKGROUND: Professional reasoning provides a firm basis for the development of teaching and assessment strategies to support the acquisition of skills by healthcare students. Nevertheless, occupational therapy educators should use diverse methods of learning assessment to examine student learning outcomes more fully with an evaluation that supports the overall complexity of the process, particularly learners' subjective experience. The aim of this article is to identify the range of perspectives among occupational therapy undergraduates regarding terms or concepts that are key for improving their professional reasoning. METHODS: Q-methodology was used to address the aim of the study. A concourse relating to a series of ideas, phrases, terminology, and concepts associated with various studies on professional reasoning in occupational therapy, specifically on students in this field, was generated. The terms that had the clearest evidence, the most relevance or the greatest number of citations in the literature were collected (n = 37). The P-set was assembled by non-probabilistic sampling for convenience. It comprised undergraduate university students in occupational therapy. Factor analysis was conducted using Ken-Q Analysis v.1.0.6, reducing the number of Q-sets to smaller groups of factors representing a common perspective. RESULTS: Through statistical analysis of the Q-sorts of 37 occupational therapy students, 8 default factors were identified. The four factors in accordance with the selection criteria were rotated by varimax rotation to identify variables that could be grouped together. Each viewpoint was interpreted, discussed and liked to different aspects of professional reasoning in occupational therapy. CONCLUSIONS: The observed perceptions were linked to the various aspects of professional reasoning that have been widely discussed in the occupational therapy literature. For most of the students, there was a strong correspondence between the narrative, interactive and conditional aspects of the various components.

Exploring Occupational Therapists' Professional Identity: A Q-Method Study.

(1) Background: This study examines the nature of the rarely studied factors of the professional identity from an occupational therapist's perspective. (2) Methods: Q-methodology was applied to identify the different perspectives. Participants were selected through a non-probability sampling procedure in the whole Spanish territory. Different assessment tools were considered, in order to develop an ad hoc tool which had 40 statements classified into four categories. A factor analysis was performed by applying Ken-Q analysis v.1.0. (3) Results: Thirty-seven occupational therapists participated in the study. Their diverse approaches revealed different perspectives that influence the professional identity of occupational therapists: professional identity, due to referents, a grey field on professional identity, reaffirming a common professional identity, the role of education and mentors on professional identity and the outcome of ongoing training, in order to develop the abovementioned identity. (4) Conclusions: Once the different aspects of the professional identity have been understood, future educational initiatives can be designed to adapt curricula to the professional scene.

Analysis of Occupational Therapy Students' Pedagogical Practices for the Forging of Professional Identity and Development of Professional Intelligence: A Scoping Review.

Pedagogical practices contribute to enhancing professional intelligence which is an indicator of maturity and development of professional identity. The research guiding question was: What are the pedagogical practices involved in occupational therapy students' professional identity formation? A scoping review using a six-stage methodological framework was used to capture a variety of evidence describing how professional identity has been conceptualised and integrated into the occupational therapy curriculum while noticing a link to professional intelligence. Databases included were: Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, ProQuest ERIC, Scopus, Web of Science, CSIC, Dialnet, PubMed, Pubmed Central, OTDBASE and Scielo. Qualitative content analysis was used to categorise learning outcomes into five components of professional identity that were associated with the pedagogical practices identified in the studies. n = 58 peer-reviewed journal articles were recorded. The articles were classified as intervention studies (n = 31; 53.4%), reviews (n = 12; 20.7%) and theoretical articles (n = 15; 25.9%). To ensure the feasibility of collecting and reporting results, we narrowed the focus to n = 31 intervention studies that provided information on pedagogical practices and learning outcomes on professional identity forging in students. This scoping review illustrates the variety of contexts in which students learn, the multiple dimensions of identity establishment, and the variety of pedagogical practices. These findings can be used to adapt and design focused formative curricula that support the development of professional identity.

Lamivudine and Entecavir for Acute Hepatitis B: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

BACKGROUND: Acute hepatitis B infection is associated with severe liver disease and chronic sequelae in some cases. The purpose of this review was to determine the efficacy of nucleoside analogues (NA) (lamivudine versus entecavir) compared to placebo or no intervention for treating acute primary HBV infection. METHODS: A meta-analysis for drug intervention was performed, following a fixed-effect model. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-randomized studies that evaluated the outcomes of NA in acute hepatitis B infection were included. The following outcomes were considered: virological cure (PCR negative), elimination of acute infection (seroconversion of HBsAg), mortality, and serious adverse events. RESULTS: Five trials with 627 adult participants with severe acute hepatitis B defined by biochemical and serologic parameters were included. Virological cure did not favor any intervention: OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.54 to 1.7 (p = 0.90), I2 = 58%. Seroconversion of HBsAg to negative favored placebo/standard-of-care compared to lamivudine: OR 0.54, 95% CI 0.33 to 0.9 (p = 0.02), I2 = 31%. The only trial that compared entecavir and lamivudine favored entecavir over lamivudine (OR: 3.64, 95% CI 1.31-10.13; 90 participants). Adverse events were mild. CONCLUSION: There is insufficient evidence that NA obtain superior efficacy compared with placebo/standard-of-care in patients with acute viral hepatitis, based on low quality evidence.

Stability and binding of the phosphorylated species of the N-terminal domain of enzyme I and the histidine phosphocarrier protein from the Streptomyces coelicolor phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system.

The phosphotransferase system (PTS) is involved in the use of carbon sources in bacteria. It is formed by two general proteins: enzyme I (EI) and the histidine phosphocarrier (HPr), and various sugar-specific permeases. EI is formed by two domains, with the N-terminal domain (EIN) being responsible for the binding to HPr. In low-G+C Gram-positive bacteria, HPr becomes phosphorylated not only by phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) at the active-site histidine, but also by ATP at a serine. In this work, we have characterized: (i) the stability and binding affinities between the active-site-histidine phosphorylated species of HPr and the EIN from Streptomyces coelicolor; and (ii) the stability and binding affinities of the species involving the phosphorylation at the regulatory serine of HPr(sc). Our results show that the phosphorylated active-site species of both proteins are less stable than the unphosphorylated counterparts. Conversely, the Hpr-S47D, which mimics phosphorylation at the regulatory serine, is more stable than wild-type HPr(sc) due to helical N-capping effects, as suggested by the modeled structure of the protein. Binding among the phosphorylated and unphosphorylated species is always entropically driven, but the affinity and the enthalpy vary widely.

Effect of the Implementation of a Surgical Care Bundle in the Incidence of Surgical Site Infection in Spine Surgery: A Quasi-Experimental Study.

STUDY DESIGN: Quasi-experimental intervention study. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of a clinical safety and quality improvement plan for patients undergoing spinal fusion surgery on the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: In recent years, infection surveillance and control programs based on care bundles have been included in surgical protocols. These have proven to be essential tools for the prevention and control of SSI, providing indicators for improvement and allowing the characterization of related risk factors. METHODS: A quasi-experimental study was carried out with analysis before and after the introduction of a preventive care bundle (clinical safety and quality improvement plan). Patients who underwent spinal fusion surgery were included. The incidence of SSI up to 90 days after surgery (maximum incubation period) was assessed. The effect of the intervention was evaluated with the adjusted odds ratio (oR) using a logistic regression model. RESULTS: A total of 1554 patients were included, 690 in the period 2007 to 2011 (before) and 864 during 2012 to 2018 (after). SSI incidence decreased from 4.2% to 1.9% after the plan (OR: 0.43; 95% confidence interval: 0.23-0.80; P  = 0.006). There was also an improvement in the adequacy of antibiotic prophylaxis, preoperative preparation, and hair removal procedure after the introduction of the care bundle. CONCLUSION: After implementation of the care bundle, the incidence of SSI in spine fusion surgery decreased significantly. Multivariate analysis showed that the care bundle was an independent protective factor. The implementation of these measures should be reinforced on the routine medical practice to reduce the SSI incidence.Level of Evidence: 3.

Eligibility criteria for Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT): a position statement from a consortium of scientific societies for the use of MHT in women with medical conditions. MHT Eligibility Criteria Group.

This project aims to develop eligibility criteria for menopausal hormone therapy (MHT). The tool should be similar to those already established for contraception A consortium of scientific societies coordinated by the Spanish Menopause Society met to formulate recommendations for the use of MHT by women with medical conditions based on the best available evidence. The project was developed in two phases. As a first step, we conducted 14 systematic reviews and 32 metanalyses on the safety of MHT (in nine areas: age, time of menopause onset, treatment duration, women with thrombotic risk, women with a personal history of cardiovascular disease, women with metabolic syndrome, women with gastrointestinal diseases, survivors of breast cancer or of other cancers, and women who smoke) and on the most relevant pharmacological interactions with MHT. These systematic reviews and metanalyses helped inform a structured process in which a panel of experts defined the eligibility criteria according to a specific framework, which facilitated the discussion and development process. To unify the proposal, the following eligibility criteria have been defined in accordance with the WHO international nomenclature for the different alternatives for MHT (category 1, no restriction on the use of MHT; category 2, the benefits outweigh the risks; category 3, the risks generally outweigh the benefits; category 4, MHT should not be used). Quality was classified as high, moderate, low or very low, based on several factors (including risk of bias, inaccuracy, inconsistency, lack of directionality and publication bias). When no direct evidence was identified, but plausibility, clinical experience or indirect evidence were available, "Expert opinion" was categorized. For the first time, a set of eligibility criteria, based on clinical evidence and developed according to the most rigorous methodological tools, has been defined. This will provide health professionals with a powerful decision-making tool that can be used to manage menopausal symptoms.

Biochemical and mutational studies of the Bacillus cereus CECT 5050T formamidase support the existence of a C-E-E-K tetrad in several members of the nitrilase superfamily.

Formamidases (EC 3.5.1.49) are poorly characterized proteins. In spite of this scarce knowledge, ammonia has been described as playing a central role in the pathogenesis of human pathogens such as Helicobacter pylori, for which formamidase has been shown to participate in the nitrogen metabolic pathway. Sequence analysis has revealed that at least two different groups of formamidases are classified as EC 3.5.1.49: on the one hand, the derivatives of the FmdA-AmdA superfamily, which are the best studied to date, and on the other hand, the derivatives of Helicobacter pylori AmiF. Here we present the cloning, purification, and characterization of a recombinant formamidase from Bacillus cereus CECT 5050T (BceAmiF), the second member of the AmiF subfamily to be characterized, showing new features of the enzyme further supporting its relationship with aliphatic amidases. We also present homology modeling-based mutational studies confirming the importance of the Glu140 and Tyr191 residues in the enzymatic activities of the AmiF family. Moreover, we can conclude that a second glutamate residue is critical in several members of the nitrilase superfamily, meaning that what has consistently been identified as a C-E-K triad is in fact a C-E-E-K tetrad.

The Effectiveness of Community Occupational Therapy Interventions: A Scoping Review.

BACKGROUND: This review aims to evaluate the level of scientific evidence for the effectiveness of Community Occupational Therapy interventions. METHODS: A systematic review was used to analyze and synthesize the studies collected. The databases of Cochrane, OTseeker, OTCATS, Web of Science, Scielo and Scopus were used in order to collect articles published between 2007 and 2020. PRISMA recommendations were followed. RESULTS: A total of 12 articles comprised part of the study (7 randomized controlled studies, 4 systematic reviews and 1 meta-analysis). The main areas of practice were geriatric gerontology (22.1%) and mental health (19.7%), which were statistically significant (χ2; p < 0.005) compared to the rest. Regarding the studies analyzed, all of them had scores of >7 on the PEDro and AMSTAR scales. CONCLUSIONS: Research on Community Occupational Therapy constitutes a consolidated line of research but the objectives and areas of research were limited. Descriptive qualitative methodology predominated and studies on the effectiveness of Community Occupational Therapy interventions showed a medium-low level of evidence.

Structure of dihydropyrimidinase from Sinorhizobium meliloti CECT4114: new features in an amidohydrolase family member.

The recombinant dihydropyrimidinase from Sinorhizobium meliloti CECT4114 (SmelDhp) has been characterised and its crystal structure elucidated at 1.85A. The global architecture of the protein is reminiscent of that of the amidohydrolase superfamily, consisting of two domains; an (alpha/beta)(8) TIM-like barrel domain, where the catalytic centre is located, and a smaller beta-sheet sandwich domain of unknown function. The c-terminal tails of each subunit extend toward another monomer in a swapping-like manner, creating a hydrogen bond network which suggests its implication in protein oligomerisation. Mutational and structural evidence suggest the involvement of a conserved tyrosine in the reaction mechanism of the enzyme. SmelDhp presents both hydantoinase and dihydropyrimidinase activities, with higher affinity for the natural six-membered ring substrates. For the five-membered ring substrates, affinity was greater for those with aliphatic and apolar groups in the 5th carbon atom, with the highest rates of hydrolysis for d-5-methyl and d-5-ethyl hydantoin (k(cat)/K(m)=2736+/-380 and 944+/-52M(-1)s(-1), respectively). The optimal conditions for the enzyme activity were found to be 60 degrees C of temperature at pH 8.0. SmelDhp retains 95% of its activity after 6-hour preincubation at 60 degrees C. This is the first dihydropyrimidinase used for the hydrolytic opening of non-natural 6-monosubstituted dihydrouracils, which may be exploited for the production of beta-amino acids.

Carbamoylases: characteristics and applications in biotechnological processes.

Enzymatic kinetic resolution is a widely used biotechnological tool for the production of enantiomerically pure/enriched compounds. This technique takes advantage of the enantioselectivity or enantiospecificity of an enzyme for one of the enantiomers of a racemic substrate to isolate the desired isomer. N-Carbamoyl-D- and L-amino acid amidohydrolases (D- and L-carbamoylases) are model enzymes for this procedure due to their strict enantiospecificity. Carbamoylase-based kinetic resolution of amino acids has been applied for the last three decades, allowing the production of optically pure D- or L-amino acids. Furthermore, this enzyme has become crucial in the industrially used multienzymatic system known as "Hydantoinase Process," where the kinetic resolution produced by coupling an enantioselective hydantoinase and the enantiospecific carbamoylase is enhanced by the enzymatic/chemical dynamic kinetic resolution of the low-rate hydrolyzed substrate. This review outlines the properties of D- and L-carbamoylases, emphasizing their biochemical/structural characteristics and their biotechnological applications. It also pinpoints new applications for the exploitation of carbamoylases over the forthcoming years.

Natural occurrence and industrial applications of D-amino acids: an overview.

Interest in D-amino acids has increased in recent decades with the development of new analytical methods highlighting their presence in all kingdoms of life. Their involvement in physiological functions, and the presence of metabolic routes for their synthesis and degradation have been shown. Furthermore, D-amino acids are gaining considerable importance in the pharmaceutical industry. The immense amount of information scattered throughout the literature makes it difficult to achieve a general overview of their applications. This review summarizes the state-of-the-art on D-amino acid applications and occurrence, providing both established and neophyte researchers with a comprehensive introduction to this topic.

Learning and Development of Diagnostic Reasoning in Occupational Therapy Undergraduate Students.

BACKGROUND/AIM: One way to facilitate occupational therapy undergraduate students transferring their academic skills of data gathering and analysis to professional settings is to ensure they can competently use diagnostic reasoning. Nevertheless, there are several obvious gaps in empirical evidence related to the learning and development of this style of reasoning in occupational therapy undergraduates. The most important are related to promoting higher-order thinking and the use of information to solve problems in the context of professional practice. This study analyses undergraduates' diagnostic reasoning and its changes during their education. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This multicentre study was conducted with a descriptive observational design. The study took place at the University of Coruña (Spain), University of Castilla-La Mancha (Spain), and University of el Valle (Colombia). The sample was n = 247. For data collection, a clinical case was specifically designed. IBM SPSS Statistics (v19) and EPIDAT 3.1 were used for the data analysis. RESULTS: Participants identified and categorized occupational performance problems. However, they had difficulties when identifying and categorizing the occupational performance components (specifically, the symptoms and signs of the disease presented in the study case). They presented limitations to analyse and synthesize the information collected to develop an explanation of the occupational problems and their causes. CONCLUSIONS: Undergraduate students' ability to analyse and synthesize information during data collection is poorly organized, so it makes the problem formulation difficult. This study contributes to the knowledge of undergraduates' diagnostic reasoning features, specifically the undergraduate students' capacities and limits to process information during the occupational assessment.

Surgical site infection in hip arthroplasty in a 10-year follow-up prospective study: Risk and factors associated.

BACKGROUND: The increased demand for hip arthroplasty means a growing number of postsurgical complications. This study aims to assess the risk of surgical site infection (SSI) in a teaching hospital; develop regional, national and international external comparisons; and evaluate SSI-related risk factors, particularly according to the timing of surgery (urgent/unplanned or elective). METHODS: Prospective cohort study from January 2008 to December 2018. Patients were followed up to 90 days after surgery. Primary endpoint was SSI incidence according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria. Multivariate analysis was conducted to find independently associated SSI risk factors. The association between risk factors and SSI incidence was assessed by reference to odds ratio (OR). Analyses were also performed among urgent/unplanned and elective patients to identify whether SSI risk factors differed between groups. RESULTS: The study population (n = 1,808) has an overall SSI rate of 3.0% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.4-3.9). Timing of surgery caused an effect modification, so surgery duration> 75th percentile (OR: 3.8; 95% CI: 1.5-9.8) and inadequate preparation (OR: 3.3; 95% CI: 1.1-10.0) were independent risk factors in the urgent/unplanned group; National Healthcare Safety Network risk index≥ 2 (OR: 6.3; 95% CI: 0.1-19.2) and transfusion (OR: 3.6; 95% CI: 1.1-11.9) in the elective group. CONCLUSIONS: Hospital infection surveillance systems allow identifying risk factors susceptible to change. Characterization of factors that caused an effect modification is key to identify areas of quality improvement, including reducing operating times, preventing perioperative blood transfusion, or improving patient preparation before surgery.

Potential application of N-carbamoyl-beta-alanine amidohydrolase from Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 for beta-amino acid production.

An N-carbamoyl-beta-alanine amidohydrolase of industrial interest from Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 (beta car(At)) has been characterized. Beta car(At) is most active at 30 degrees C and pH 8.0 with N-carbamoyl-beta-alanine as a substrate. The purified enzyme is completely inactivated by the metal-chelating agent 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid (HQSA), and activity is restored by the addition of divalent metal ions, such as Mn(2+), Ni(2+), and Co(2+). The native enzyme is a homodimer with a molecular mass of 90 kDa from pH 5.5 to 9.0. The enzyme has a broad substrate spectrum and hydrolyzes nonsubstituted N-carbamoyl-alpha-, -beta-, -gamma-, and -delta-amino acids, with the greatest catalytic efficiency for N-carbamoyl-beta-alanine. Beta car(At) also recognizes substrate analogues substituted with sulfonic and phosphonic acid groups to produce the beta-amino acids taurine and ciliatine, respectively. Beta car(At) is able to produce monosubstituted beta(2)- and beta(3)-amino acids, showing better catalytic efficiency (k(cat)/K(m)) for the production of the former. For both types of monosubstituted substrates, the enzyme hydrolyzes N-carbamoyl-beta-amino acids with a short aliphatic side chain better than those with aromatic rings. These properties make beta car(At) an outstanding candidate for application in the biotechnology industry.

[Antibiotic prophylaxis in prostatic surgery: Adherence to the hospital protocol. Prospective cohort study.] / Profilaxis antibiótica en cirugía de próstata: adecuación al protocolo hospitalario. Estudio de cohortes prospectivo.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the adherence to the antibiotic prophylaxis protocol in patients undergoing prostate surgery and evaluate the effect of antibiotic prophylaxis on surgical site infections (SSI). MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective cohort study was carried out between January 2009 and September 2016. The global compliance with the antibiotic prophylaxis protocol was evaluated studying the items: time of onset, route of administration, antibiotic prescribed, duration and dose. Percentages of adequacy are described. The incidence of infection was calculated after 30 days of follow-up. Relationship between the adequacy to the protocol and the surgical site infection are described with the relative risk. RESULTS: A total of 595 patients were studied. The global adequacy was 93.8%. The leading cause of inadequacy was the time of onset 3%. The incidence of surgical site infection was 1%. No relationship between the inadequacy of antibiotic prophylaxis and surgical site infection (RR=1.1%; 95%CI: 1.0-1.2) was found. No relationship between the procedure (laparoscopic or open surgery) and surgical site infection (RR=0.4%; 95%CI: 0.1-1.9) was found. CONCLUSIONS: The adequacy of antibiotic prophylaxis was high. The incidence of surgical site infection was low and compliance of antibiotic prophylaxis contributes to diminish surgical site infection incidence.

OBJETIVO: El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido evaluar la adecuación de la profilaxis antibiótica y su relación con la incidencia de infección de sitio quirúrgico (ISQ) en pacientes sometidos a cirugía de próstata.MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Estudio de cohortes prospectivo, realizado de enero de 2009 a septiembre de 2016. Se evaluó la adecuación global al protocolo de profilaxis antibiótica y de cada apartado de la profilaxis (inicio, vía de administración, antibiótico de elección, duración y dosis). Se describieron los porcentajes de adecuación. Se calculó la incidencia de infección tras un periodo máximo de 30 días de incubación. Se evaluó la adecuación entre adecuación de la profilaxis e ISQ mediante el riesgo relativo (RR). RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 595 pacientes en el estudio. La adecuación global fue del 93,8%. La mayor causa de incumplimiento fue el inicio de la profilaxis con un 3,0%. La incidencia de infección de sitio quirúrgico fue del 1,0%. No se encontró relación entre la inadecuación de la profilaxis antibiótica y la infección de sitio quirúrgico (RR=1,01; IC95%: 1,00-1,02). No se encontró relación en el riesgo de infección entre la cirugía laparoscópica y la cirugía abierta (RR=0,37; IC95%: 0,08-1,98). CONCLUSIONES: La adecuación de la profilaxis antibiótica fue alta. La incidencia de infección de sitio quirúrgico fue baja y la adecuada cumplimentación de la profilaxis antibiótica en la cirugía de próstata permite reducir la incidencia de infección de sitio quirúrgico.

A pesquisa mista representa 50% do estudo. As intervenções mais numerosas na Pesquisa em Educação Interprofissional são as práticas de sala de aula (62,5%) em oposição às práticas de campo (37,5%). Conclusão este estudo mostra a força das práticas vinculadas à educação interprofissional e seu vínculo com o desenvolvimento da identidade profissional. O treinamento interprofissional colaborativo, em comparação com a educação clínica tradicional, aumenta a identidade profissional por meio da autoeficácia percebida pelos alunos.

Abstract Objective To analyze the historical development, nature, and volume of scientific literature on Interprofessional Education Research in occupational therapy, as well as the types of interventions carried out. Method A scoping review was used with a four-stage methodological framework to capture evidence describing how Interprofessional Education Research and professional identity has been conceptualized and integrated into occupational therapy. The databases included were MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, Pubmed Central, ERIC, PsychInfo, Cinahl, Ciberindex, Dialnet, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Scielo. As inclusion criteria, articles had to describe concepts related to occupational therapy and other disciplines, professional identity, and interprofessional education in students and/or professionals. From the final list, the following variables were analyzed: demographic information, study objective/purpose, methodological details, types of interventions carried out, and main results/findings. Results 18 articles met the criteria and 16 were considered for qualitative synthesis. University research predominated (92.3%). 75% of the research sample focuses on students. Mixed research represents 50% of the study. The most numerous interventions in Interprofessional Education Research are in-class practices (62.5%) versus field practices (37.5%). Conclusion This study shows the strength of practices linked to interprofessional education and their link to developing professional identity. Interprofessional collaboration training compared to traditional clinical education increases professional identity through perceived self-efficacy of students.
