A corpus-based approach on gerontological terminology

This paper focuses on analyzing and comparing the terminology extracted from two comparable bilingual corpora based on abstracts and information articles. Both corpora deal with the field of gerontology. It aims to depict the criterion followed to compile the corpora; to show how these corpora have been used in order to extract the useful terminology and create a glossary; and, to analyze and compare the results. Moreover, another objective of this study is to shed some light in this field to which little attention has been given in terms of corpus analysisEste estudio se centra en el análisis y posterior comparación de la terminología extraída de dos corpus bilingües comparables basados en resúmenes y artículos de información. Ambos corpus tratan sobre el campo de la gerontología. Tiene como objetivo, explicar el criterio que se ha seguido para recopilar y crear los corpus; mostrar cómo se han utilizado estos corpus para extraer la terminología y crear un glosario; y, analizar y comparar los resultados. Además, otro de los objetivos de este trabajo es arrojar algo de luz en el campo de la gerontología ya que no es muy conocido en el ámbito del análisis del corpus.Departamento de Filología InglesaGrado en Estudios Inglese

Front-Line Physicians' Satisfaction with Information Systems in Hospitals

Day-to-day operations management in hospital units is difficult due to continuously varying situations, several actors involved and a vast number of information systems in use. The aim of this study was to describe front-line physicians' satisfaction with existing information systems needed to support the day-to-day operations management in hospitals. A cross-sectional survey was used and data chosen with stratified random sampling were collected in nine hospitals. Data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The response rate was 65 % (n = 111). The physicians reported that information systems support their decision making to some extent, but they do not improve access to information nor are they tailored for physicians. The respondents also reported that they need to use several information systems to support decision making and that they would prefer one information system to access important information. Improved information access would better support physicians' decision making and has the potential to improve the quality of decisions and speed up the decision making process.Peer reviewe
