Monitoring school conviviality in order to build (not diminish) schools' capacities

En este trabajo se presenta el diseño y desarrollo de un sistema de monitoreo de calidad de la convivencia escolar en Chile. El propósito de este sistema es fortalecer las capacidades de la escuela para gestionar la convivencia escolar. Se contextualiza este sistema en el marco de un ambiente punitivo de la política educativa, que busca el cambio vía control y castigo. El sistema incluye encuestas a estudiantes, profesores y apoderados, un apoyo a la interpretación de los resultados a través de reportes por escuela, y apoyo a la toma de decisión basada en evidencias a través de asesoramientos, con ciclos continuos de retroalimentación. Se presentan hallazgos iniciales que dan cuenta de adecuadas características psicométricas de la encuesta de estudiantes. Se discuten las posibilidades de utilizar este tipo de estrategias de monitoreo de la convivencia en contextos de una política educativa crecientemente punitiva como es el caso de Chile.We present the design and development of a system for monitoring the quality of school conviviality in Chile. Its purpose is to strengthen the school´s capabilities to manage school conviviality. We present this system in the context of a punitive educational policy environment, which seeks school improvement through control and punishment. The system includes questionnaires administered to students, teachers, and parents; support systems for interpreting results through easy-to-read reports at the school and commune level; and supports through consultancies. The system include continues feedback cycles. We present initial findings that show adequate psychometric properties of the student questionnaire. We discuss the possibilities of using this type of strategy for monitoring school conviviality in the context of an increasingly punitive educational policy, as in the case of Chile.Este estudio es financiado por FONDEF ca12i10243 y PIA-CONICYT CIE-05

Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm follow-up: when the phone rings. Changes during the COVID-19 pandemic and patient satisfaction. Experience in 30 health centers in Spain.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has favored the expansion of telemedicine. Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (Ph-MPN) might be good candidates for virtual follow-up. In this study, we aimed to analyze the follow-up of patients with Ph-MPN in Spain during COVID-19, its effectiveness, and acceptance among patients. We present a multicenter retrospective study from 30 centers. Five hundred forty-one patients were included with a median age of 67 years (yr). With a median follow-up of 19 months, 4410 appointments were recorded. The median of visits per patient was 7 and median periodicity was 2.7 months; significantly more visits and a higher frequency of them were registered in myelofibrosis (MF) patients. 60.1% of visits were in-person, 39.5% were by telephone, and 0.3% were videocall visits, with a predominance of telephone visits for essential thrombocythemia (ET) and polycythemia vera (PV) patients over MF, as well as for younger patients
