Rols professionals; Atenció primària; Pla d’enfortiment i transformacióRoles profesionales; Atención primaria; Plan de fortalecimiento y transformaciónProfessional roles; Primary care; Strengthening and transformation planEl nou Pla d’enfortiment i transformació de l’AP de salut treballa des de diferents mitjans d’intervenció, un dels quals és el vinculat a professionals. Des d’aquest àmbit d’actuació, es vol enfortir el rol del metge/essa i del infermer/a i maximitzar les competències professionals mitjançant la promoció dels tècnics en cures auxiliars d’infermeria (per donar suport a infermeria en seguiment de pacients, realització de tècniques i promoció de la salut), o a través de la incorporació de nous rols com el de gestor de salut (per donar suport als professionals sanitaris, descarregar-los de tasques administratives, millorar l’experiència del pacient i la satisfacció dels professionals), el de dietista-nutricionista (per ajudar a cobrir les necessitats assistencials de la població i la comunitat en matèria de nutrició i dietètica), així com amb la incorporació d’altres rols (per ex.: el referent de benestar emocional comunitari per ajudar en la prevenció i promoció del benestar emocional de la comunitat).El nuevo Plan de fortalecimiento y transformación de la AP de salud trabaja desde diferentes medios de intervención, uno de los cuales es el vinculado a profesionales. Desde este ámbito de actuación, se quiere fortalecer el rol de médico/a y del enfermero/a y maximizar las competencias profesionales mediante la promoción de los técnicos en cuidados auxiliares de enfermería (para dar apoyo a enfermería en el seguimiento de pacientes, realización de técnicas y promoción de la salud), o a través de la incorporación de nuevos roles como el de gestor de salud (para dar apoyo a los profesionales sanitarios, descargándolos de tareas administrativas, mejorando la experiencia del paciente y la satisacción de los profesionales), el de diestista-nutricionista (para ayudar a cubrir las necesidades asistenciales de la población y de la comunidad en materia de nutrición y dietética), así como la incorporación de otros roles (por ejemplo: el referente de bienestar emocional comunitario para ayudar en la prevención y promoción del bienestar de la comunidad).The new Plan for the strengthening and transformation of health PC works through different means of internvention; one of them is linked to professionals. In this field of action, it is aimed to strengthen the role of doctors and nurses to maximise professional competences by promoting auxiliary nursing care technicians (to support nurses in the monitoring of patients, carrying out techniques and promoting health), or through the incorporation of new roles such as health manager (to suppot health professionals, relieving them of administrative tasks and improving patient experience and professional satisfaction), dietitian-nutritionist (to help meet the nutrition and dietetic care needs of the population and the community), as well as the incorporation of other roles (e.g. the community health and emotional well-being to assist in the prevention and promotion of the community’s wellbeing)

This study aims to assess the evolution of compliance with PReME’s recommendations in the meals provided by school cafeterias in Catalonia during the period 2006–2020. Methods: Pre-post study with a sample of 6,387 meal plans from 2221 schools assessed during the period. The information was collected mainly by public health specialists within the annual technical and sanitary inspection of school kitchens and cafeterias. Meal plans were evaluated by Dietitian-Nutritionists team according to the criteria of the National Health System’s “Consensus document on nutrition in schools” and the Public Health Agency of Catalonia’s current guide “Healthy eating at school”. Reports were sent to each participating school. A few months later, a new meal plan and another questionnaire were collected and evaluated in comparison with the first meal plan. Compliance with the recommendations was analysed based on the type of canteen management and the school category. Results: Compliance improved during the study period. The percentage of schools that complied with dietary recommendations in relation to the five PReME indicators (fresh fruit, pulses, daily vegetables, fresh food and olive oil for dressing) has steadily increased since PReME began, (over 70% in all indictors; p = < 0.001), with variations depending on school category and cafeteria management. Furthermore, an improvement in the levels of compliance with de recommended food frequencies was observed. with statistically significant differences for all items (p < 0.001), except for pulses whose compliance had been high since the beginning of the study (p = 0.216). Conclusions: The positive evolution in compliance with PReME’s recommendations provides evidence of the programme’s effectiveness, with an improvement in the quality of school meals delivered in Catalonia

Promoting physical activity through primary health care: the case of Catalonia

Background: In adults, as little as 10 minutes of moderate physical activity (PA) three times a day can help prevent non-communicable diseases and prolong life expectancy. The aim of the study was to evaluate the process and impact of scaling up a complex intervention (PAFES) implemented in Catalonia, aimed to increase the proportion of adults complying with PA recommendations (especially those with cardiovascular risk factors). Methods: The intervention, piloted in 2005, had three elements: 1) establishing clinical guidelines for PA; 2) identifying local PA resources; 3) PA screening and advice in primary health care (PHC) settings, based on stage of change. Central and local level implementation activities included training, support to municipalities, dissemination through a web page, and promotion of World Physical Activity Day (WPAD). Evaluation followed the RE-AIM framework (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance), identifying 3-6 variables for annual evaluation of each dimension. These included coverage of PA screening and advice and individuals with access to a healthy exercise route (Reach), increased PA level between 2006 and 2010-15 (Effectiveness), PAFES adoption by PHC centres and municipalities (Adoption), process evaluation data (Implementation), and cost (Maintenance). Results: PHC screening coverage increased from 14.4% (2008) to 69.6% (2015) and advice coverage from 8.3% (2012) to 35.6% (2015). In 2015, 82.5% patients had access to a “healthy route” (Reach). The proportion of patients with at least one cardiovascular risk factor who were “sufficiently active” increased from 2006 to 2010-2013 (Effectiveness). By 2015, PAFES was applied by all PHC teams, 8.3% municipalities and 22.7% PHC centres had organized WPAD events (Adoption). The Plan showed good penetration in all health regions by 2013, with relatively low use of resources and estimated cost (Implementation). By 2013 the Plan was embedded within the health system (Maintenance). Conclusions: In the first application of the RE-AIM framework to evaluate the scaling-up of a PA plan, PAFES showed good results for most RE-AIM indicators. Changes in priority and investment in health promotion programs affect reach, adoption, and effectiveness. It is important to maintain support until programs are strongly embedded into the health system

Daily sitting time and its association with non-communicable diseases and multimorbidity in Catalonia

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for 71% of deaths worldwide and individual behaviours such as sedentariness play an important role on their development and management. However, the detrimental effect of daily sitting on multiple NCDs has rarely been studied. This study sought (i) to investigate the association between sitting time and main NCDs and multimorbidity in the population of Catalonia and (ii) to explore the effect of physical activity as a modifier of the associations between sitting time and health outcomes. Methods: Cross-sectional data from the 2016 National Health Survey of Catalonia were analyzed, and multivariable logistic regression, adjusting for socio-demographics and individual risk factors (tobacco and alcohol consumption, diet, hyperlipidaemia, hypertension, body mass index) was used to estimated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the association between sitting time and NCDs. Results: A total of 3320 people 15 years old were included in the study. Sitting more than 5 h/day was associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (OR 1.90, 95% CI: 1.21-2.97), respiratory disease (OR 1.61, 95% CI: 1.13-2.30) and multimorbidity (OR 2.80, 95% CI: 1.53-5.15). Sitting more than 3 h/day was also associated with a higher risk of multimorbidity (OR 2.26, 95% CI: 1.23-4.16). Physical activity did not modify the associations between sitting time and any of the outcomes. Conclusions: Daily sitting time might be an independent risk factor for some NCDs, such as cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease and multimorbidity, independently of the level risk of physical inactivity
