ABSTRACT
Objetivo: Evaluar la usabilidad de un dispositivo para medir el dolor durante el trabajo de parto a través de siete ítems: tamaño, textura, facilidad de uso, peso, resistencia, comodidad y seguridad. Método: Estudio descriptivo. Se solicitó a 60 pacientes usar el sensor manual durante el transcurso de seis contracciones uterinas (aproximadamente 10-20 minutos) y al día siguiente se aplicó una encuesta en la que las pacientes evaluaron la usabilidad del dispositivo en cuanto a textura, peso, resistencia, comodidad, facilidad de uso, tamaño del sensor, seguridad de uso, peso del sensor, resistencia y comodidad, mediante una escala de Likert de 1 a 7. La seguridad fue evaluada con una escala de 1 a 5. Resultados: Se realizaron gráficos de caja. Con respecto a la seguridad, un 86% de las usuarias marcaron 5 puntos en la escala, percibiendo el dispositivo como seguro. Conclusiones: El dispositivo fue percibido como seguro, liviano, fácil de usar y cómodo.
Objective: To evaluate the usability of a device to measure pain during labor through seven items: size, texture, ease of use, weight, resistance, comfort, and safety. Method: Longitudinal observational study. 60 patients were asked to use the manual sensor during the course of six uterine contractions (approximately 10-20 minutes) and the following day a survey was applied where the patients evaluated the usability of the device in terms of texture, weight, resistance, comfort, easiness of use, sensor size, safety of use, sensor weight, resistance and comfort through a Likert scale from 1 to 7. Safety was evaluated with a scale from 1 to 5. Results: They were schematized with a box plot. Regarding safety, 86% of the users scored 5 points on the scale, perceiving the device as safe. Conclusions: It can be seen that the device was perceived as safe, light, easy to use and comfortable.

INTRODUCTION: Climate change is one of the greatest threats to public health today, placing considerable pressure on the healthcare sector. During patient care processes, hospital facilities contribute to greenhouse gas emissions through the use of greater resources and higher energy consumption. Consequently, there is growing interest among researchers, universities, organisations and governments to study the impact of the healthcare sector on the environment and to develop strategies to mitigate its effects. The aim of this scoping review is to determine the extent and nature of current literature on global warming from hospitals and clinical services, and ways in which they contribute to its effect. Planning and execution of future research are possible once those areas with existing gaps are identified. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A broad literature search will be carried out to illustrate the ways in which hospitals and clinical services, processes and activities contribute to climate change. Our protocol was drafted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. The final protocol was registered prospectively with the Open Science Framework. All identified studies indexed in Medline, Scopus and Embase will be examined. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This project is literature-based research; therefore, it does not require ethical approval. The results will be presented to researchers as well as policymakers in this particular area, via conferences, webinars, podcasts and online events. A peer-reviewed publication will be submitted to specific journals of interest.

RESUMEN Introducción: el liderazgo de enfermería se considera una competencia fundamental, por su clara repercusión en la calidad de los cuidados. Objetivo: conocer el estilo de liderazgo que ejercen enfermeras(os) asistenciales, docentes y supervisoras(es). Material y método: investigación cuantitativa, descriptiva y transversal. La muestra está constituida por 165 profesionales de enfermería del área adulto-pediátrica, en una ciudad del sur de Chile. La recolección de datos se realizó mediante el Cuestionario Multifactorial de Liderazgo, en su forma corta, adaptado a la población chilena por Vega y Zabala. Resultados: se evidencia que los profesionales en enfermería asistenciales desarrollan en menor grado los estilos transformacional y transaccional. Por el contrario, aquellos de las áreas docente y de supervisión utilizan preferentemente un liderazgo transaccional, donde se destaca la recompensa contingente en docentes y la consideración individualizada en supervisores, como las principales. Según el sexo, las mujeres utilizan con mayor frecuencia las conductas motivación inspiracional y carisma inspiracional. Además, el liderazgo transaccional está más presente en mujeres, al igual que la consideración individualizada. Conclusión: se aprecia el predominio del liderazgo transaccional en enfermeras(os) docentes y supervisoras(es), que afecta el desarrollo y el fortalecimiento de un liderazgo transformador esencial para una gestión del cuidado de calidad.
ABSTRACT Introduction: Nursing leadership is considered a fundamental competence, due to its impact on the quality of care. Objective: Know the style of leadership exercised by nurses, nursing assistants, nursing teachers and supervisors. Materials and method: This is a quantitative, descriptive and transversal study. The sample is comprised of 165 nursing professionals from the adult-pediatric area in Temuco, southern Chile. Data collection was done through the Multifactorial Leadership Questionnaire, in its short form, adapted to the Chilean population by Vega and Zabala. Results: It was shown that nursing professionals develop transformational and transactional styles to a lesser degree. In the teaching and supervisory areas, they exercise transactional leadership, and contingent reward in teachers and individualized consideration in supervisors are elements that stand out. According to gender, women most often use inspirational motivational behavior and inspirational charisma. In addition, transactional leadership is found more in women, as is individualized consideration. Conclusion: The predominance of transactional leadership in nurses (teachers) and supervisors (s), which favors the development and reinforcement of transformative leadership, is essential to quality care management.
