Partede la idea de la necesidad de construir bases etnográficas quesirvan de insumos para la implementación de los enfoquesde salud intercultural y enfermería transcultural, así comoparte de la evidencia que facilite las prácticas de salud, a partirde descripciones competentes que ayuden a comprender ladiversidad cultural de las poblaciones humanas. El abordajemetodológico se realizó desde la investigación cualitativa,con enfoque etnográfico, combinando revisión documental yentrevistas semiestructuradas a 44 personas. Se identificaroncódigos, agrupados en subcategorías y categorías. Se encontraronvarios tipos de cuidadores, de los cuales, se consideraronrelevantes el médico tradicional y la partera. Sus prácticasse basan en saberes de la dimensión material y espiritual,entre las que se destaca el uso de plantas medicinales,rezo, interpretación de los sueños y ceremonias colectivas.Además, su labor depende del reconocimiento social, estatusdel cuidador y rol en la organización social. Los modelosinterculturales deben tener en cuenta a los cuidadores, enel marco de estrategias basadas en el diálogo de saberes yla participación.(AU)

The objective of this study is to understand the practices ofindigenous caregivers in the context of cultural change. Partof the idea of the need to build ethnographic bases that serve as inputs for the implementation of cross-cultural healthand cross-cultural nursing approaches, as well as part of theevidence that facilitates health practices, based on competentdescriptions that help to understand the cultural diversityof human populations. The methodological approach wascarried out from qualitative research, with an ethnographicapproach, combining documentary review and semi-structuredinterviews with 44 people. Codes were identified, grouped intosubcategories and categories. Several types of caregivers werefound, of which the traditional doctor and the midwife wereconsidered relevant. Their practices are based on knowledgeof the material and spiritual dimension, among which theuse of medicinal plants, prayer, dream interpretation andcollective ceremonies is highlighted. In addition, their workdepends on social recognition, caregiver status and rolein social organization. Intercultural models must considercaregivers, within the framework of strategies based on thedialogue of knowledge and participation.(AU)

Frequency of hand contact with hospital surfaces in hospitalized pediatric patients.

BACKGROUND: Hand hygiene (HH) is an important strategy for preventing health-care-associated infections (HAIs). Few programs focus on HH for family members and primary caregivers but fewer for patients. This study aimed to estimate the frequency with which hospitalized pediatric patients have hand contact with hospital surfaces. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive observational study consisting of three phases: the first was the creation of an observation and data collection tool, the second was the training of the monitors, and the third was the observational study of hand contact and HH opportunities in hospitalized pediatric patients. RESULTS: Over 3600 minutes of observation, 2032 HH opportunities were detected, averaging 33.8/h (SD 4.7) as determined by hand contact with hospital surfaces of hospitalized pediatric patients. In our study, infants and preschool children had the highest frequency of hand contact. CONCLUSION: The high frequency of hand contact of hospital surfaces by children suggests that hourly hand disinfection of patients and caregivers, objects and surfaces around the patients may be prevention measures that could be incorporated to reduce HAIs in pediatric hospitals.

INTRODUCCIÓN: La higiene de manos es una estrategia importante para la prevención de infecciones asociadas a la atención sanitaria. Existen pocos programas centrados en la higiene de manos para los familiares y cuidadores primarios, y aún menos para el paciente. El objetivo de este estudio fue cuantificar la frecuencia con la que los pacientes pediátricos hospitalizados tienen contacto manual con superficies hospitalarias. MÉTODOS: Se llevó a cabo un estudio observacional descriptivo transversal que constó de tres fases: la primera fue la creación de una herramienta de observación y registro de datos; la segunda fue la capacitación de los monitores y la tercera fue el estudio observacional del contacto manual y de las oportunidades de higiene de manos en pacientes pediátricos hospitalizados. RESULTADOS: Durante los 3600 minutos de observación, se detectaron 2032 oportunidades, con una media de 33.8 (DE 4.7) por hora de oportunidades de higiene de manos establecidas por contacto manual con superficies de pacientes pediátricos hospitalizados. Los lactantes y los niños en edad preescolar presentaron la mayor frecuencia de contacto manual. CONCLUSIONES: La alta frecuencia de contacto manual por parte del niño indica que medidas como la desinfección de las manos cada hora del paciente y del cuidador, así como de los objetos y superficies alrededor del paciente, podrían ser medidas útiles que deberían incluirse para prevenir las infecciones asociadas a la atención de la salud en los hospitales pediátricos.

Review of the allocation criteria for heart transplant in Spain in 2023. SEC-Heart Failure Association/ONT/SECCE consensus document.

Heart transplant (HT) remains the best therapeutic option for patients with advanced heart failure (HF). The allocation criteria aim to guarantee equitable access to HT and prioritize patients with a worse clinical status. To review the HT allocation criteria, the Heart Failure Association of the Spanish Society of Cardiology (HFA-SEC), the Spanish Society of Cardiovascular and Endovascular Surgery (SECCE) and the National Transplant Organization (ONT), organized a consensus conference involving adult and pediatric cardiologists, adult and pediatric cardiac surgeons, transplant coordinators from all over Spain, and physicians and nurses from the ONT. The aims of the consensus conference were as follows: a) to analyze the organization and management of patients with advanced HF and cardiogenic shock in Spain; b) to critically review heart allocation and priority criteria in other transplant organizations; c) to analyze the outcomes of patients listed and transplanted before and after the modification of the heart allocation criteria in 2017; and d) to propose new heart allocation criteria in Spain after an analysis of the available evidence and multidisciplinary discussion. In this article, by the HFA-SEC, SECCE and the ONT we present the results of the analysis performed in the consensus conference and the rationale for the new heart allocation criteria in Spain.

Use of a surgically implanted, nondischargeable, extracorporeal continuous flow circulatory support system as a bridge to heart transplant.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: We aimed to describe the clinical outcomes of the use of the CentriMag acute circulatory support system as a bridge to emergency heart transplantation (HTx). METHODS: We conducted a descriptive analysis of the clinical outcomes of consecutive HTx candidates included in a multicenter retrospective registry who were treated with the CentriMag device, configured either for left ventricular support (LVS) or biventricular support (BVS). All patients were listed for high-priority HTx. The study assessed the period 2010 to 2020 and involved 16 transplant centers around Spain. We excluded patients treated with isolated right ventricular support or venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation without LVS. The primary endpoint was 1-year post-HTx survival. RESULTS: The study population comprised 213 emergency HTx candidates bridged on CentriMag LVS and 145 on CentriMag BVS. Overall, 303 (84.6%) patients received a transplant and 53 (14.8%) died without having an organ donor during the index hospitalization. Median time on the device was 15 days, with 66 (18.6%) patients being supported for> 30 days. One-year posttransplant survival was 77.6%. Univariable and multivariable analyses showed no statistically significant differences in pre- or post-HTx survival in patients managed with BVS vs LVS. Patients managed with BVS had higher rates of bleeding, need for transfusion, hemolysis and renal failure than patients managed with LVS, while the latter group showed a higher incidence of ischemic stroke. CONCLUSIONS: In a setting of candidate prioritization with short waiting list times, bridging to HTx with the CentriMag system was feasible and resulted in acceptable on-support and posttransplant outcomes.

Comparação do nível de dependência de Enfermagem e dimensionamento entre unidades de internação clínica e cirúrgica / Comparación del nivel de dependencia de Enfermería y dimensionamiento entre unidades clínicas de hospitalidad y quirúrgico / Comparison of Nursing dependency levels and sizing between clinical and surgical inpatient units

Resumo Objetivo comparar o nível de dependência dos cuidados de Enfermagem e o dimensionamento de pessoal entre unidades de internação clínica e cirúrgica. Método estudo descritivo e retrospectivo, realizado em quatro unidades de internação de um hospital universitário de grande porte do sul do Brasil. Foram incluídos 7.486 registros da classificação dos pacientes entre janeiro e outubro de 2022. Empregou-se a análise estatística descritiva, demanda de horas de Enfermagem, projeção de pessoal e teste qui-quadrado. Resultados prevaleceram os pacientes de cuidados intermediários (40,2%) e semi-intensivos (40,8%), com diferença entre as unidades (p-valor<0,001). Em todas as unidades verificou-se o déficit de enfermeiros. Em uma unidade clínica, o quadro de técnicos/auxiliares de Enfermagem projetado era igual ao disponível (n=46). Em duas unidades, verificou-se um discreto a moderado superávit de pessoal de nível médio. A unidade de internação cirúrgica que teve a melhor taxa de classificação (92,3%) apresentou maior discrepância entre o dimensionamento prescrito e o real. Conclusão e implicações para prática as unidades apresentaram uma elevada dependência do cuidado de Enfermagem. Ao considerar também as taxas de ocupação e de adesão à classificação de pacientes, é plausível que uma das unidades clínicas tenha a maior demanda de cuidados.

Resumen Objetivo comparar el nivel de dependencia de los cuidados de Enfermería y el dimensionamiento de personal entre las unidades de hospitalización clínica y quirúrgica. Método estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo, realizado en cuatro unidades de hospitalización de un gran hospital universitario del sur de Brasil. Se incluyeron datos de 7.486 registros de clasificación de pacientes entre enero y octubre de 2022. Se utilizaron análisis estadísticos descriptivos, demanda de horas de Enfermería y proyección de personal, además de comparación mediante la prueba de Chi-cuadrado entre unidades. Resultados predominaron los pacientes de cuidados intermedios (40,2%) y semi-intensivos (40,8%), con diferencia entre unidades (p-valor<0,001). En todas las unidades había escasez de enfermeros. En una unidad clínica, el número de técnicos/auxiliares de Enfermería proyectados era igual al disponible (n=46). En dos unidades, hubo un excedente de leve a moderado de personal de nivel medio. La unidad de hospitalización quirúrgica que tuvo la mejor tasa de clasificación (92.3%) tuvo la mayor discrepancia entre el tamaño prescrito y el real. Conclusión e implicaciones para la práctica las unidades mostraron alta dependencia de los cuidados de Enfermería. Sin embargo, considerando también los índices de ocupación y la adherencia a la clasificación de los pacientes, es posible que una de las unidades clínicas presente la mayor demanda de atención.

Abstract Objective to compare the level of dependence on nursing care and staffing between clinical and surgical inpatient units. Method This is a descriptive, retrospective study carried out in four inpatient units of a large university hospital in southern Brazil. A total of 7,486 patient classification records were included between January and October 2022. Descriptive statistical analysis, demand for nursing hours, staff projections, and the chi-square test were used. Results Intermediate care (40.2%) and semi-intensive care (40.8%) patients prevailed, with a difference between the units (p-value<0.001). There was a shortage of nurses in all the units. In one clinical unit, the projected number of nursing technicians/assistants was the same as the number available (n=46). In two units, there was a slight to moderate surplus of mid-level staff. The surgical inpatient unit with the best classification rate (92.3%) showed the greatest discrepancy between the prescribed and actual sizing. Conclusion and implications for practice the units were highly dependent on nursing care. When also considering occupancy rates and adherence to patient classification, it is plausible that one of the clinical units has the highest demand for care.

Centros Especializados em Reabilitação: avaliando os desafios à implementação do modelo biopsicossocial nas práticas assistenciais à pessoa com deficiência / Specialized rehabilitation centers: assessing the challenges in implementing the biopsychosocial model in caring for people with disabilities / Centros Especializados en Rehabilitación: evaluación de los desafíos para la implementación del modelo biosicosocial en las prácticas asistenciales para la persona con discapacidad

Avaliamos, em conjunto com profissionais dos serviços, os desafios à implementação do modelo biopsicossocial nos Centros Especializados em Reabilitação. Por meio da articulação da Avaliação de Quarta Geração e Roda de Conversa (Método Paideia), abordamos os modelos implementados de assistência à pessoa com deficiência, partindo das seguintes questões: trabalhar em reabilitação; prontuário e avaliação; atendimento compartilhado e qualificação da alta. Do conteúdo das rodas emergiram três categorias empíricas: o processo de trabalho em reabilitação; o trabalho em rede; o modelo de cuidado. A identificação de entraves e facilitadores poderá favorecer a plena implementação do modelo biopsicossocial na atenção às pessoas com deficiência, gerando subsídios para o avanço rumo à integralidade do cuidado às pessoas com deficiência representado neste modelo.

We assessed challenges in implementing the biopsychosocial model in specialized rehabilitation centers together with the professionals working in these services. Using fourth generation assessment and conversation circles (the Paideia method), we explored models of care for people with disabilities focusing on the following issues: working in rehabilitation; health records and evaluation; shared appointments; and improving discharge. Three empirical categories emerged from the conversation circles: rehabilitation work processes; the network-based approach; and the care model. The identification of constraints and enabling factors can help promote the effective implementation of the biopsychosocial model, generating important insights to help drive progress towards the delivery of comprehensive care to people with disabilities represented in this model.

Por medio de la articulación de la Evaluación de Cuarta Generación y Rueda de Conversación (Método Paideia), abordamos los modelos implementados de asistencia a la persona con discapacidad, partiendo de las siguientes cuestiones: trabajar en rehabilitación; historial médico y evaluación; atención compartida y calificación del alta. Del contenido de las ruedas surgieron tres categorías empíricas: el proceso de trabajo en rehabilitación; el proceso en red; el modelo de cuidado. La identificación de obstáculos y facilitadores podrá favorecer la plena implementación del modelo biosicosocial en la atención a las personas con discapacidad, generando subsidios para el avance hacia la integralidad del cuidado a las personas con discapacidad representado en este modelo.

Dificuldades enfrentadas pelos profissionais de saúde no atendimento de emergências em unidades básicas de saúde no Brasil / Difficulties faced by health professionals in emergency care in primary health care units in Brazil / Dificultades enfrentadas por los profesionales de salud en la atención de emergencias en unidades básicas de salud en Brasil

Objetivos: compreender as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos profissionais de saúde para o atendimento de casos de urgências/emergências em unidades básica de saúde e identificar as proposições de resolubilidade. Métodos: Pesquisa qualitativa, realizada com dez profissionais de saúde, em uma unidade básica de saúde do interior paulista. As entrevistas foram transcritas e analisadas utilizando-se a estratégia metodológica do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Resultados: As dificuldades foram atreladas a fatores como despreparo da equipe, falta de infraestrutura, insumos e equipamentos, carência de profissional médico, pouca aproximação das unidades básicas de saúde com o setor de emergência hospitalar e escasso investimento do município para realização desses atendimentos. As proposições de melhorias destacaram a necessidade de capacitação dos profissionais de saúde, investimentos em recursos materiais e equipamentos, permanência de médico em período integral no serviço, implantação de protocolos de atendimento e empenho dos gestores. Conclusão: Os discursos evidenciaram que o serviço não tem condições de atender casos de urgência/emergência, em virtude do despreparo da equipe e da falta de recursos humanos e materiais. Além disso, não é prioridade do município oferecer condições mínimas para a realização deste atendimento nas unidades básicas de saúde, para que sejam integrantes da rede de atenção de Atenção às Urgências no Sistema Único de Saúde.

Objective: understand the difficulties health professionals face in urgency/emergency care at primary health care units and identify the propositions of problem-solving ability. Methods: Qualitative research, conducted with ten health professionals at a primary health care unit in the interior of São Paulo. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using the methodological strategy of the collective subject discourse. Results: The difficulties were linked to factors such as unpreparedness of the team, lack of infrastructure, supplies and equipment, lack of medical professional, little cooperation between the primary health care units and the hospital emergency sector and scarce investment of the municipality to carry out these services. The proposals for improvements highlighted the need for training of health professionals, investments in material resources and equipment, full-time presence of physician at the service, implementation of care protocols and commitment of managers. Conclusion: The discourse showed that the service is not able to attend urgency/emergency cases, due to the unpreparedness of the team and the lack of human and material resources. In addition, the municipality does not prioritize the supply of minimum conditions for this care in primary health care units to make them part of the emergency care network in the Unified Health System.

La asistencia telefónica de las enfermedades neurológicas: una revisión sistemática / Telephone assistance for neurological diseases: a systematic review

Introducción y objetivo: Es conocido que parte de la asistencia a los pacientes neurológicos se presta por teléfono, pero desconocemos las enfermedades que se atienden de esta manera y qué partes de la asistencia se proporcionan así. Pretendemos averiguarlo a través de esta revisión bibliográfica. Materiales y métodos: Se han revisado sistemáticamente las referencias sobre asistencia telefónica a enfermedades neurológicas accesibles a través de las plataformas PubMed, Embase y Cochrane, sin fecha de inicio y hasta el 3 de abril de 2022. Se encontraron 618 referencias, de las que 219 no pasaron los criterios de exclusión, por lo que se revisaron 399. Resultados: Hay un aumento de publicaciones en los últimos años y, aunque la demencia no es la enfermedad más prevalente, es el área de la neurología con más publicaciones sobre asistencia telefónica. Le siguen los ictus, el traumatismo craneoencefálico, la esclerosis múltiple, la enfermedad de Parkinson y trastornos del movimiento, la epilepsia, las enfermedades neuromusculares y otras. Discusión y conclusiones. Las demencias son las enfermedades con más referencias bibliográficas sobre su asistencia telefónica a pesar de no ser las más prevalentes. Con frecuencia, el teléfono se utiliza para administrar escalas diagnósticas o apoyar a los cuidadores, y es especialmente útil en enfermedades que dificultan la movilidad y acudir presencialmente.(AU)

Introduction and aim: While part of the care for neurological patients is done by telephone, it is not well known what neurological diseases and which part of that care is provided by telephone. Our goal is to find it out through a bibliographic review. Materials and methods: References on telephone care for neurological diseases accessible through the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane platforms have been systematically reviewed, with an unspecified start date and up to March 2022. We found 618 references, and as 219 did not pass the exclusion criteria, 399 were finally included in the review. Results: Dementia is the area of neurology with more publications about its telephone assistance. It is followed by stroke, head trauma, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders, epilepsy, neuromuscular disorders, and others. Discussion and conclusions: Dementias are the diseases with more bibliographic references on their telephone assistance despite not being the most prevalent. The telephone is frequently used to administer diagnostic scales or support caregivers and is particularly useful in diseases that limit mobility and attending a medical practice.(AU)

Violência obstétrica no processo do abortamento

Objetivo: Analisar as práticas assistenciais de saúde no processo do abortamento tipificadas como violência obstétrica. Metodologia: Estudo qualitativo e descritivo, realizado em um hospital público no Brasil com 15 profissionais de saúde de nível médio e superior. Os dados foram coletados presencialmente, através de um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturada. O perfil foi analisado pela estatística descritiva simples e as questões abertas pela técnica de conteúdo temática proposta por Bardin. Resultados: Evidenciou-se que as práticas que denotam violência obstétrica relacionam-se a alocação das mulheres em processo de abortamento no mesmo ambiente que gestantes e puérperas e ao emitirem juízos de valor no momento da assistência às mulheres. Conclusão: Há necessidade de educação permanente para que as/os profissionais possam assistir de maneira humanizada e qualificada.

Objetivo: Analizar las prácticas de atención a la salud en el proceso de aborto tipificadas como violencia obstétrica. Metodología: Estudio cualitativo y descriptivo, realizado en un hospital público en Brasil con 15 profesionales de salud de nivel medio y superior. Los datos fueron recogidos presencialmente, a través de un guion de entrevista semiestructurada. El perfil fue analizado por la estadística descriptiva simple y las cuestiones abiertas por la técnica de contenido temática propuesta por Bardin. Resultados: Se evidenció que los profesionales de salud presentaron conocimiento insuficiente sobre violencia obstétrica en el momento en que la restringieron al parto o aborto, a la tipificación física/verbal e identificaron solo a los médicos y enfermeras como los principales perpetradores. Las prácticas que denotan violencia obstétrica se relacionan a la asignación de las mujeres en proceso de aborto en el mismo ambiente que gestantes y puérperas, y al emitir juicios de valor en el momento de la asistencia. Conclusión: Hay necesidad de educación permanente para que los profesionales puedan asistir de manera humanizada y cualificada.

Objective: To analyze health care practices in the abortion process typified as obstetric violence. Methodology: Qualitative and descriptive study, conducted in a public hospital in Brazil with 15 health professionals of medium and higher education. The data were collected in person, through a semi-structured interview script. The profile was analyzed by simple descriptive statistics and the questions opened by the thematic content technique proposed by Bardin. Results: It was evidenced that health professionals had insufficient knowledge about obstetric violence at the time they restricted it to childbirth or abortion, physical/verbal typing and identified only doctors and nurses as the main perpetrators. The practices that denote obstetric violence are related to the allocation of women in the process of abortion in the same environment as pregnant women and puerperal women and when issuing value judgments at the time of care. Conclusion: There is a need for permanent education so that the professionals can assist in a humanized and qualified way.

[Challenges and initiatives in the prevention of healthcare associated infections: Expert consensus study]. / Retos e iniciativas en la prevención de las infecciones relacionadas con la asistencia sanitaria: estudio de consenso de expertos.

INTRODUCTION: The objective of the project was to identify new strategies, agreed upon by experts, that help reduce the prevalence of Health Care Related Infections (HAIs) given the increase in their prevalence as a result of the pandemic and improve patient safety. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The project was developed in three phases. The first two are framed in a sequential explanatory mixed model. Phase 1 consisted of a quantitative study (anonymous survey) to find out the perception of healthcare professionals about HAIs, risk factors, preventive measures, protocols, disinfection products and approaches. Phase 2 consisted of a qualitative exploratory study in which a panel of 15 experts analyzed the results, using focus group techniques, integrating both phases through the elaboration of metainferences. Phase 3 consisted of a qualitative descriptive study where, through nominal group techniques, agreed proposals for strategies to prevent HAIs were prepared. RESULTS: The panel of experts defined a total of 51 proposals for new strategies: 15 in hand hygiene, 13 in surface cleaning, 13 in the use of devices, and 10 in HAI prevention training. Of all of them, 13 were agreed upon as preferable (medium-high viability and high impact) and 7 as recommendable (low viability and high impact). CONCLUSIONS: In the prevention of HAIs, experts recommend applying different strategies simultaneously, which include innovative, technological and humanization aspects, both in data collection, intervention and training, prioritizing those with the greatest impact. and feasibility.

Psicologia e política de Assistência Social: discursos sobre a violência infantojuvenil / Psicología y política de Asistencia Social: discursos sobre la violencia Infantil y juvenil / Psychology and Social Assistance: discourses on child and youth violence

Esse trabalho trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de revisão narrativa que busca apresentar e discutir as práticas da Psicologia na política de Assistência Social em situações de violência infantojuvenil, tendo como fonte de informações as publicações científicas da área. A pesquisa foi realizada em três bases de dados e contou com um montante final de 23 artigos que foram lidos e analisados. O tema mostra-se relevante pois, ainda nos dias de hoje, crianças e adolescentes aparecem como as maiores vítimas de violência no Brasil e a política de Assistência Social se apresenta como um importante espaço de intervenção visando o enfrentamento de tais situações. Por meio da análise dos artigos científicos, conclui-se que as práticas descritas nas produções ora se articulam com matrizes de pensamento individualizantes e hegemônicas da Psicologia, ora produzem discursos que buscam a construção de saberes pautados na perspectiva social, territorial e no pensamento crítico.

[Translated article] Analysis of the degree of implementation of medication error prevention practices in Spanish hospitals (2022).

OBJECTIVE: To assess the degree of implementation of medication error prevention practices in Spanish hospitals. METHOD: Descriptive multicenter study of the degree of implementation of the safety practices included in the "Medication use-system safety self-assessment for hospitals. Version. II". Spanish hospitals that completed the questionnaire between October, 2021 and September, 2022 participated. The survey contains 265 items for evaluation grouped into 10 key elements. Mean score and mean percentages based on the maximum possible values for the overall survey, for the key elements, and for each individual item of evaluation were calculated. The results were compared with those of the previous 2011 study. RESULTS: A total of 131 hospitals from 15 autonomous regions participated in the study. The mean score of the overall questionnaire in all hospitals was 898.2 (57.4% of the maximum possible score). No differences were found according to dependency, size, or type of hospital, either in the overall questionnaire or in the key elements. The lowest values were found for key elements VIII, I and VI, on competence and training of health professionals in safety practices (45.1%), availability and accessibility of essential information on patients (48%), and devices for administering drugs (52.3%). With respect to 2011, significant increases were found both in the overall questionnaire and in the key elements, except V and VII, referring to standardization, storage, and distribution of medications, and environmental factors and human resources. Several evaluation items on the safe management of high-risk drugs, medication reconciliation, incorporation of clinical pharmacists into the healthcare teams, and implementation of technologies that allow full traceability throughout the medication system, showed low percentages. CONCLUSIONS: There has been appreciable progress in the degree of implementation of some medication error prevention practices in Spanish hospitals, but many proven efficacy practices recommended by the World Health Organization and safety organizations are still poorly implemented. The information obtained can be useful for prioritizing the practices to be addressed and as a new baseline for monitoring progress.

Clinimetric properties of the Perme Intensive Care Unit Mobility Score -a multicenter study for minimum important difference and responsiveness analysis

Background: The use of instruments in clinical practice with measurement properties tested is highly recommended, in order to provide adequate assessment and measurement of outcomes. Objective: To calculate the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) and responsiveness of the Perme Intensive Care Unit Mobility Score (Perme Score). Methods: This retrospective, multicentric study investigated the clinimetric properties of MCID, estimated by constructing the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC). Maximizing sensitivity and specificity by Youden's, the ROC curve calibration was performed by the Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test. Additionally, we established the responsiveness, floor and ceiling effects, internal consistency, and predictive validity of the Perme Score. Results: A total of 1.200 adult patients records from four mixed general intensive care units (ICUs) were included. To analyze which difference clinically reflects a relevant evolution we calculated the area under the curve (AUC) of 0.96 (95% CI: 0.95-0.98), and the optimal cut-off value of 7.0 points was established. No substantial floor (8.8%) or ceiling effects (4.9%) were observed at ICU discharge. However, a moderate floor effect was observed at ICU admission (19.3%), in contrast to a very low incidence of ceiling effect (0.6%). The Perme Score at ICU admission was associated with hospital mortality, OR 0.86 (95% CI: 0.82-0.91), and the predictive validity for ICU stay presented a mean ratio of 0.97 (95% CI: 0.96-0.98). Conclusion: Our findings support the establishment of the minimum clinically important difference and responsiveness of the Perme Score as a measure of mobility status in the ICU.

Antecedentes: Se recomienda encarecidamente el uso de instrumentos en la práctica clínica con propiedades de medición probadas, con el fin de proporcionar una evaluación y medición adecuada de los resultados. Objetivo: Calcular la diferencia mínima clínicamente importante (MCID) y la capacidad de respuesta de la puntuación de movilidad de la unidad de cuidados intensivos de Perme (Perme Score). Métodos: Este estudio multicéntrico retrospectivo investigó las propiedades clinimétricas de MCID, estimadas mediante la construcción de la característica operativa del receptor (ROC). Maximizando la sensibilidad y especificidad mediante la prueba de Youden, la calibración de la curva ROC se realizó mediante la prueba de bondad de ajuste de Hosmer y Lemeshow. Además, establecimos la capacidad de respuesta, los efectos suelo y techo, la consistencia interna y la validez predictiva del Perme Score. Resultados: Se incluyeron un total de 1,200 registros de pacientes adultos de cuatro unidades de cuidados intensivos (UCI) generales mixtas. Para analizar qué diferencia refleja clínicamente una evolución relevante calculamos el área bajo la curva (AUC) de 0.96 (95% CI: 0.95-0.98); y se estableció el valor de corte óptimo de 7.0 puntos. No se observaron efectos suelo (8.8%) o techo (4.9%) sustanciales al alta de la UCI. Sin embargo, se observó un efecto suelo moderado al ingreso en la UCI (19.3%), en contraste con una incidencia muy baja del efecto techo (0.6%). El Perme Score al ingreso en UCI se asoció con la mortalidad hospitalaria, OR 0.86 (95% CI: 0.82-0.91), y la validez predictiva de estancia en UCI presentó una relación media de 0.97 (95% CI: 0.96-0.98). Conclusiones: Nuestros hallazgos respaldan el establecimiento de la diferencia mínima clínicamente importante y la capacidad de respuesta de el Perme Score como medida del estado de movilidad en la UCI.
