Impacto del Programa Recreo Saludable en la selección de refrigerios escolares / Impact of the healthy break programme on the selection of snacks at school

Objetivo: Conocer la opinión del profesorado sobre la calidad e influencia del Programa Recreo Saludable en la mejora de los refrigerios que lleva el alumnado.Método. Estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal, mediante encuesta en línea autoadministrada al profesorado de los centros adheridos al Programa Recreo Saludable de Extremadura. Se preguntó por el seguimiento de las recomendaciones sobre consumo de refrigerios saludables, por parte de los alumnos, con respuestas tipo Likert de tres niveles de adherencia (alta: 75-100%, media: 50% y baja: 0-25%) y por la calidad de los recursos materiales y formativos. Se consideró el nivel de significación estadística para un p-valor menor de 0,05.Resultados. El 82,8%, 52,3% y 8,5% del profesorado observó una alta adherencia a la recomendación de incluir agua, fruta y pan integral, respectivamente, y el 38,1%, 33,0% y 62,7% a eliminar zumos envasados, lácteos azucarados y bollería, respectivamente. La satisfacción general y los recursos del programa se evaluaron en 4,3 y 4 puntos, sobre 5, respectivamente.Conclusiones. Para el profesorado encuestado, el programa tuvo un impacto alto en la inclusión de agua y la eliminación de bollería industrial en los refrigerios; medio en la inclusión de fruta y eliminación de zumos envasados y lácteos azucarados, y bajo en la inclusión de pan integral. Otorga una alta valoración a los recursos facilitados y una alta satisfacción general. (AU)

Objective: To ascertain the teachers' opinion about the quality and impact of the healthy break programme on the improvement of snacks brought in by students.Methods. Observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study by means of a self-administered online survey to teachers from the centres taking part in the healthy break programme in Extremadura. We asked about the follow-up of the recommendations on the consumption of healthy snacks by students, with three levels of adherence Likert-type responses (high: 75%-100%, medium: 50% and low: 0%-25%) and quality of material and training resources. A P-value less than 0.05 was deemed statistically significant.Results. A total of 82.8%, 52.3% and 8.5% of teachers observed high adherence with the recommendation to include water, fruit and whole-grain bread, respectively. Moreover, 38.1%, 33.0% and 62.7% to eliminate packaged juices, sweetened dairy products and pastries, respectively. Overall satisfaction and programme resources were rated at 4.3 and 4 points, out of 5, respectively.Conclusions. For the teachers surveyed, the programme had a high impact on the inclusion of water and elimination of industrial pastries in snacks; a medium impact on the inclusion of fruit and elimination of packaged juices and sweetened dairy products; and a low impact on the inclusion of whole-grain bread. The teaching staff offered a high evaluation of the resources provided and general satisfaction. (AU)

La investigación en los servicios públicos de salud y su reconocimiento en las carreras profesionales de las comunidades autónomas en España / Research in public health services and its recognition in the professional careers in the regions of Spain

Objetivo: La investigación es una actividad accesoria para la mayoría de los profesionales sanitarios del Sistema Nacional de Salud. Una forma de reconocimiento de su valor es mediante las carreras profesionales. Fue nuestro objetivo comparar la valoración de la actividad investigadora entre las carreras profesionales de los servicios de salud de las distintas comunidades autónomas. Diseño: Revisión de los acuerdos, resoluciones y decretos que definen las carreras profesionales de cada comunidad recogidas de las webs corporativas de los servicios de salud y consejerías de sanidad. Sitio: Comisión de investigación e innovación en salud del Servicio Extremeño de Salud. Participantes: Miembros de la citada comisión. Métodos: Se realizó una comparación atendiendo si la actividad investigadora se valora de forma aislada de otros conceptos, si se considera para avanzar en distintos niveles, si para alguno es requisito y el porcentaje de puntuación asignada al bloque al que pertenece. Resultados: Casi todas las comunidades autónomas consideran la investigación como mérito en todos los niveles de carrera. La puntuación asignada al bloque que incorpora la investigación se sitúa entre 4 y 50%. Solo se considera de forma independiente en Canarias, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla-León, Cataluña, Madrid y Murcia. Son requisito para subir de determinado nivel en Canarias y Castilla-León. Conclusiones: Existe una alta variabilidad en el reconocimiento de la actividad investigadora entre comunidades. Las carreras que mejor valoran la investigación serían las de Canarias y Castilla-León, que la consideran como actividad independiente y llega a ser un requisito. Con enfoques más negativos están aquellas en las que se pueden ascender, hasta el nivel más alto, sin realizar ninguna aportación en investigación.(AU)

Objective: Health research is an accessory activity for most health professionals in the national health service of Spain. One way to recognize your worth is through professional careers. The objective of this paper has been to compare how research activity is valued in the professional careers of the health services of the different regions of Spain. Design: Review of agreements, resolutions and decrees that define the professional careers of each community collected from the corporate websites of health services and health ministries. Site: Health Research and Innovation Commission of the Extremadura Health Service. Participants: Members of said commission. Methods: The following was considered for comparison: if the research activity is valued in isolation from other concepts, if it is considered to advance in different levels, if it is a requirement for any of them, and the percentage of score assigned to the block to which it belongs. Results: Almost all the regions consider research as merit at all career levels. The score of the research block is between 4 and 50% of overall. They are only considered independently, of others activities, in the Canary Islands, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla-León, Cataluña, Madrid and Murcia. They are required to climb a certain level in the Canary Islands and Castilla-León. Conclusions: There is a high variability in the recognition of research activity between regions. The careers that best value research would be those of the Canary Islands and Castilla-León, which consider it an independent activity and it becomes a requirement. The regions that have a more negative approach are those that can be promoted to the highest level, without making any contribution to research.(AU)
