RESUMO

OBJETIVOS: Describir el entorno psicosocial de los profesionales sanitarios de la sanidad pública en atención primaria y hospitalaria, compararlo con el de la población asalariada española y valorar el efecto de los factores de riesgos psicosociales sobre síntomas relacionados con el estrés percibido. DISEÑO: Estudio observacional transversal, con muestreo aleatorio estratificado. Emplazamiento: Trabajadores de atención sanitaria de la provincia de Granada, distribuidos en 5 centros hospitalarios y 4 distritos sanitarios. PARTICIPANTES: Se invitó a 738 empleados (personal facultativo y de enfermería) del Servicio Andaluz de Salud (SAS). MEDICIONES PRINCIPALES: Cuestionario CopSoQ/Istas21, desarrollado para el análisis del ambiente psicosocial en el trabajo de forma multidimensional. Los síntomas de estrés se midieron con el cuestionario Stress Profile. RESULTADOS: La tasa de respuesta fue del 67,5%. En comparación con la población laboral española, nuestra muestra mostró altos niveles de exigencias psicológicas cognitivas, emocionales y sensoriales, posibilidades de desarrollo personal y sentido de su trabajo. El personal facultativo de atención primaria es el que presenta un ambiente psicosocial más desfavorable, aunque todos los grupos mostraron niveles elevados de síntomas relacionados con el estrés percibido. El análisis multivariante mostró que las variables asociadas con el estrés percibido fueron menor edad y posibilidades de relación social, el conflicto de rol, y mayores exigencias psicológicas emocionales e inseguridad en el trabajo. CONCLUSIONES: Nuestros hallazgos muestran que el ambiente psicosocial de los trabajadores sanitarios difiere del de la población asalariada española, siendo más desfavorable en el colectivo de facultativos/as de atención primaria


OBJECTIVE: To describe the psychosocial environment of health professionals in public health in primary and hospital care, and compare it with that of the general Spanish working population, as well as to evaluate the effect of psychosocial risk factors on symptoms related to perceived stress. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study with stratified random sampling. SETTING: Health care workers in the province of Granada, distributed in 5 hospitals and 4 health districts. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 738 employees (medical and nursing staff) of the Andalusian Health Service (SAS) were invited to take part. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: CopSoQ/Istas21 questionnaire developed for the multidimensional analysis of the psychosocial work environment. Stress symptoms were measured with the Stress Profile questionnaire. RESULTS: The response rate was 67.5%.compared with the Spanish workforce, our sample showed high cognitive, emotional, and sensory psychological demands, possibilities for development and sense of direction in their work. Primary care physicians were the group with a worse psychosocial work environment. All the groups studied showed high levels of stress symptoms. Multivariate analysis showed that variables associated with high levels of stress symptom were younger and with possibilities for social relations, role conflict, and higher emotional demands, and insecurity at work. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings support that the psychosocial work environment of health workers differs from that of the Spanish working population, being more unfavorable in general practitioners

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The high prevalence of disease-related hospital malnutrition justifies the need for screening tools and early detection in patients at risk for malnutrition, followed by an assessment targeted towards diagnosis and treatment. At the same time there is clear undercoding of malnutrition diagnoses and the procedures to correct it Objectives: To describe the INFORNUT program/ process and its development as an information system. To quantify performance in its different phases. To cite other tools used as a coding source. To calculate the coding rates for malnutrition diagnoses and related procedures. To show the relationship to Mean Stay, Mortality Rate and Urgent Readmission; as well as to quantify its impact on the hospital Complexity Index and its effect on the justification of Hospitalization Costs. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The INFORNUT® process is based on an automated screening program of systematic detection and early identification of malnourished patients on hospital admission, as well as their assessment, diagnoses, documentation and reporting. Of total readmissions with stays longer than three days incurred in 2008 and 2010, we recorded patients who underwent analytical screening with an alert for a medium or high risk of malnutrition, as well as the subgroup of patients in whom we were able to administer the complete INFORNUT® process, generating a report for each. Other documentary coding sources are cited. From the Minimum Basic Data Set, codes defined in the SEDOMSENPE consensus were analyzed. The data were processed with the Alcor-DRG program. Rates in ‰ of discharges for 2009 and 2010 of diagnoses of malnutrition, procedure and procedures-related diagnoses were calculated. These rates were compared with the mean rates in Andalusia. The contribution of these codes to the Complexity Index was estimated and, from the cost accounting data, the fraction of the hospitalization cost seen as justified by this activity was estimated. RESULTS: RESULTS are summarized for both study years. With respect to process performance, more than 3,600 patients per year (30% of admissions with a stay > 3 days) underwent analytical screening. Half of these patients were at medium or high risk and a nutritional assessment using INFORNUT® was completed for 55% of them, generating approximately 1,000 reports/year. Our coding rates exceeded the mean rates in Andalusia, being 3.5 times higher for diagnoses (35‰); 2.5 times higher for procedures (50‰) and five times the rate of procedurerelated diagnoses in the same patient (25‰). The Mean Stay of patients coded with malnutrition at discharge was 31.7 days, compared to 9.5 for the overall hospital stay. The Mortality Rate for the same patients (21.8%) was almost five times higher than the mean and Urgent Readmissions (5.5%) were 1.9 times higher. The impact of this coding on the hospital Complexity Index was four hundredths (from 2.08 to 2.12 in 2009 and 2.15 to 2.19 in 2010). This translates into a hospitalization cost justification of 2,000,000; five to six times the cost of artificial nutrition. CONCLUSIONS: The process facilitated access to the diagnosis of malnutrition and to understanding the risk of developing it, as well as to the prescription of procedures and/or supplements to correct it. The interdisciplinary team coordination, the participatory process and the tools used improved coding rates to give results far above the Andalusian mean. These results help to upwardly adjust the hospital Complexity Index or Case Mix-, as well as to explain hospitalization costs.


Introducción: La alta prevalencia de desnutrición hospitalaria relacionada con la enfermedad justifica la necesidad de herramientas de cribado y detección precoz de los pacientes en riesgo de desnutrición, seguido de una valoración encaminada a su diagnóstico y tratamiento. Existe asimismo una manifiesta infracodificación de los diagnósticos de desnutrición y los procedimientos para revertirla. Objetivos: Describir el programa/proceso INFORNUT ® y su desarrollo como sistema de información. Cuantificar el rendimiento en sus diferentes fases. Citar otras herramientas utilizadas como fuente de codificación. Calcular las tasas de codificación de diagnósticos de desnutrición y procedimientos relacionados. Mostrar su relación con Estancia Media, Tasas de Mortalidad y Reingreso urgente; así como cuantificar su impacto en el Índice de Complejidad hospitalario y su efecto en justificación de Costes de Hospitalización. Material y métodos: El proceso INFORNUT® se basa en un programa de cribado automatizado de detección sistemática e identificación precoz de pacientes desnutridos al ingreso hospitalario, así como de su valoración, diagnóstico, documentación e informe. Sobre el total de ingresos con estancias mayores de tres días habidos en los años 2008 y 2010, se contabilizaron pacientes objeto de cribado analítico con alerta de riesgo medio o alto de desnutrición, así como el subgrupo de pacientes a los que se les pudo completar en su totalidad el proceso INFORNUT® llegando al informe por paciente. Se citan otras fuentes documentales de codificación. Del Conjunto Mínimo de la Ba se de Datos se analizaron los códigos definidos en consenso SENPE-SEDOM. Los datos se procesaron con el programa Alcor-GRD. Se calcularon las tasas en ‰ altas dadas para los años 2009 y 2010 de diagnósticos de desnutrición, procedimientos y diagnósticos asociados a procedimientos. Se compararon dichas tasas con las tasas medias de la comunidad andaluza. Se estimó la contribución de dichos códigos en el Índice de Complejidad y, a partir de los datos de contabilidad analítica, se estimó la fracción del coste de hospitalización que se ve justificada por esta actividad. Resultados: Resumimos aquí un resultado para ambos años estudiados. En cuanto al rendimiento del proceso, más de 3.600 pacientes por año (30% de los ingresos con estancia > 3 días) fueron objeto de cribado analítico. La mitad de ellos resultaron de riesgo medio o alto, de los cuales al 55 % se les completó una valoración nutricional mediante INFORNUT®, obteniéndose unos 1.000 informes/ año. Nuestras tasas de codificación superaron a las tasas medias de Andalucía, siendo 3,5 veces superior en diagnósticos (35 ‰); 2,5 veces en procedimientos (50 ‰) y quintuplicando la tasa de diagnósticos asociados a procedimientos en el mismo paciente (25 ‰). La Estancia Media de los pacientes codificados al alta de desnutrición fue de 31,7 días, frente a los 9,5 de global hospitalaria. La Tasa de Mortalidad para los mismos (21,8 %) fue casi cinco veces superior a la media y la de Reingresos "urgentes" (5,5 %) resultó 1,9 veces superior. El impacto de dicha codificación en el Índice de Complejidad hospitalario fue de cuatro centésimas (de 2,08 a 2,12 en 2009 y de 2,15 a 2,19 en 2010). Esto se traduce en una justificación de costes de hospitalización por 2.000.000 ; cinco a seis veces el coste de la nutrición artificial. Conclusiones: El proceso ha facilitado el acceso al diagnóstico de la desnutrición o al conocimiento del riesgo de padecerla, así como a la prescripción de los procedimientos y/o suplementos para remediarla. La coordinación interdisciplinar del equipo, lo participativo del proceso y las herramientas utilizadas mejoran las tasas de codificación hasta resultados muy por encima de la media andaluza. Estos resultados contribuyen a ajustar al alza el IC hospitalario, así como a la justificación de costes de hospitalización.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Hospital readmission rate is currently used as a quality of care indicator, although its validity has not been established. Our aims were to identify the frequency and characteristics of potential avoidable readmissions and to compare the assessment of quality of care derived from readmission rate with other measure of quality (judgment of experts). DESIGN: cross-sectional observational study; SETTING: acute care hospital located in Marbella, South of Spain; STUDY PARTICIPANTS: random sample of patients readmitted at the hospital within six months from discharge (n = 363); INTERVENTIONS: review of clinical records by a pair of observers to assess the causes of readmissions and their potential avoidability; MAIN MEASURES: logistic regression analysis to identify the variables from the databases of hospital discharges which are related to avoidability of readmissions. Determination of sensitivity and specificity of different definitions of readmission rate to detect avoidable situations. RESULTS: Nineteen percent of readmissions were considered potentially avoidable. Variables related to readmission avoidability were (i) time elapsed between index admission and readmission and (ii) difference in diagnoses of both episodes. None of the definitions of readmission rate used in this study provided adequate values of sensitivity and specificity in the identification of potentially avoidable readmissions. CONCLUSIONS: Most readmissions in our hospital were unavoidable. Thus, readmission rate might not be considered a valid indicator of quality of care.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To study relationships between habitual dietary intake, adipose tissue concentrations of alpha-carotene, beta-carotene and lycopene, and plasma concentrations of alpha- and beta-carotene. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study including assessment of food habits by a food frequency questionnaire and 48-hour recall and determination of carotenoid concentrations in adipose tissue and plasma. SUBJECTS: 51 women (mean age of 62 years) from the control group of the European Community Multicentre Study on Antioxidants, Myocardial Infarction, and Breast Cancer (EURAMIC), Málaga, Spain. RESULTS: In adipose tissue, beta-carotene was correlated with consumption of green pepper (r = 0.36; p < 0.05) and lycopene with total fruit/vegetable intake (r = 0.28; p < 0.05), green pepper (r = 0.31; p < 0.05), and carrot (r = 0.25; p < 0.10). In plasma, beta-carotene was correlated with total fruit/vegetable intake (r = 0.29; p < 0.10), lettuce (r = 0.34; p < 0.05), tomato (r = 0.26; p < 0.10), and lycopene with total fruit/vegetable intake (r = 0.27; p < 0.10). Age-, BMI- and waist circumference-adjusted regression coefficients for the regression of logn-transformed adipose and plasma concentrations on consumption of specific fruits and vegetables (per 100 g/day) were calculated. In adipose tissue, coefficients were: 1.50 (p < 0.05) for alpha-carotene/carrot; 1.90 (p < 0.10) and 0.51 (p < 0.10) for beta-carotene/green pepper and lettuce; 2.02 (p < 0.05), 1.25 (p < 0.05) and 0.18 (p < 0.05) for lycopene/green pepper, carrot and total fruit/vegetable intake. In plasma, coefficients were 1.14 (p < 0.05) and 0.21 (p < 0.05) for beta-carotene/lettuce and total fruit/vegetable intake. CONCLUSIONS: Consumption of fruit and vegetables could be linked directly to carotenoid concentrations in adipose tissue and plasma. Although associations with individual food items are related to their carotenoid contents, the absorption and distribution of carotenoids needs more attention to improve their usefulness as biomarkers of exposure.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Rates of hospital readmissions are used as indicators of quality of health care. Yet specific causes of readmissions have not been sufficiently studied and an unified definition of such an indicator is lacking. Our goal was to determine the causes and potential avoidability of readmissions in our hospital and to identify a suitable definition of this indicator. DESIGN: Cross sectional study. SETTING: Hospital Costa del Sol (Marbella, Málaga). Subjects of study: Random sample of hospital discharges followed by a new admission within the next 6 months (n = 363). INTERVENTIONS: Determination of the causes and potential avoidability of readmissions, by means of a peer-review of medical records. Descriptive and logistic regression analysis of the variables contained in the Minimum Basic Data Set (MBDS) and related to the avoidability of readmissions. RESULTS: 19% (95% CI: 15.0-23.0) of hospital readmissions within 6 months after hospital discharge were attributed to potentially avoidable situations if the applied medical care had been modified during the previous episode. This figure reached 37% (95% CI: 27.4-47.3) for surgical services, 13% (95% CI: 8.7-17.6) for medical services and 12% (95% CI: 2.9-20.6) for obstetrics. The MBDS variables related to the potential avoidability of readmissions were, for the whole hospital, 1) the shorter interval from the previous discharge and 2) the difference of diagnosis between both episodes. CONCLUSIONS: Most hospital readmissions are due to non-avoidable situations if the applied medical care had been modified during the previous episode. In order to detect potentially avoidable situations, definitions of readmission rates should only include early readmissions with a chief diagnosis other than that in the previous admission.

RESUMO

FUNDAMENTO: Las tasas de reingresos hospitalarios se utilizan como indicadores de calidad asistencial, aunque las causas de éstos no están suficientemente estudiadas ni existe una definición unificada del indicador. Nos planteamos determinar las causas y potencial evitabilidad de los reingresos en nuestro centro e identificar su definición más adecuada. PACIENTES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio observacional transversal. Ámbito: Hospital Costa del Sol (Marbella, Málaga). Sujetos de estudio: muestra aleatoria de reingresos en 6 meses del alta (n = 363).Instrumentalización: determinación de las causas y potencial evitabilidad de los reingresos mediante revisión de historias clínicas por pares de observadores. Análisis descriptivo y de regresión logística sobre las variables del Conjunto Mínimo Básico de Datos (CMBD) que se relacionan con la evitabilidad de los reingresos. RESULTADOS: El 19 por ciento (intervalo de confianza [IC] del 95 por ciento, 15,0-23,0) de los reingresos hospitalarios en 6 meses del alta se atribuyeron a situaciones potencialmente evitables de haberse modificado los cuidados aplicados durante el episodio previo. Este porcentaje alcanzó el 37 por ciento (IC del 95 por ciento, 27,4-47,3) para servicios quirúrgicos, el 13 por ciento (IC del 95 por ciento, 8,7-17,6) para servicios médicos y el 12 por ciento (IC del 95 por ciento, 2,9-20,6) para obstetricia. Las variables relacionadas con la potencial evitabilidad de los reingresos fueron, en el conjunto del hospital, la menor duración del plazo desde el alta previa y la diferencia de diagnóstico entre ambos episodios.CONCLUSIONES: La mayor parte de los reingresos hospitalarios se deben a situaciones no evitables mediante la modificación de los cuidados aplicados durante el ingreso previo. Las definiciones de tasas de reingresos deberían incluir solamente los reingresos tempranos y con un diagnóstico principal diferente al del ingreso previo, con el fin de detectar fundamentalmente situaciones potencialmente evitables (AU)
