El aprendizaje formativo a través de las Prácticas Profesionales de los Estudiantes de Ingeniería Mecánica

This research has been carried out in the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Holguin supported in two Projects of Enterprise Development: with the Factory of Agricultural Implements “26 de Julio” and the Center of Technology and Industrial Quality (CTEC), both in the province of Holguin and takes as support the Course #34: “Formative Learning and Personal Growth”, dictated by Dr. Raquel Bermudez in Pedagogy 2005, and has the purpose of analyzing how Formative Learning applied to Professional Practices in Mechanical Engineering students at the University of Holguin, located in the different productive entities of the territory, contribute to the professional and integral formation of the students.Esta investigación se ha llevando a cabo en la Facultad de Ingeniería de la Universidad de Holguín respaldado en dos Proyectos de Desarrollo Empresarial: con la Fábrica de Implementos Agrícolas “26 de Julio” y el Centro de Tecnología y Calidad Industrial (CTEC), ambos de la provincia de Holguín y toma como sustento el Curso #34: “Aprendizaje formativo y crecimiento personal”, dictado por la Doctora Raquel Bermúdez en Pedagogía 2005, y tiene la finalidad de analizar cómo el Aprendizaje Formativo aplicado a las Prácticas Profesionales en los estudiantes de Ingeniería Mecánica en la Universidad de Holguín, ubicados en las distintas entidades productivas del territorio, contribuyen a la formación profesional e integral de los estudiantes

La relación sujeto-objeto durante el proceso de educación energética en estudiantes de técnico medio en electricidad en Cuba

This paper is based on the determination, with a diagnostic study, of the insufficiencies presented by the students of intermediate Technician in Electricity, in the development of the energetic culture, which affects their integral training because in the curriculum design of the technical subjects of the specialty of Electricity it does not appear as content the aspects related to energy culture. As a solution to the problem, a study program is proposed for the treatment of energy culture in the students of intermediate Technician in Electricity, through the professional-pedagogical process developed in the Polytechnic School of Cuba. The social problem of science that arises in this work has great social connotation since its solution allows forming qualities of the personality of the intermediate technician in electricity linked to an adequate subject-object relationship, which allows it to adapt to the formative scenario where it develops and transforms to satisfy the social needs from its relationship with the environment, which is concrete in the subject-object relationship with the students’ energetic education. This result is sustained by the principles and regularities that characterize the Pedagogy of Technical and Professional Education.El trabajo parte de la determinación con un estudio diagnóstico, de las insuficiencias que presentan los estudiantes de Técnico Medio en Electricidad, en el desarrollo de la cultura energética, que afecta su formación integral debido a que en el diseño curricular de las asignaturas técnicas de la especialidad de Electricidad no aparece como contenidos los aspectos referidos a la cultura energética. Como vía de solución al problema se propone un programa de estudio para el tratamiento a la cultura energética en los estudiantes de Técnico Medio en Electricidad, a través del proceso pedagógico profesional que se desarrolla en la Escuela Politécnica de Cuba. El problema social de la ciencia que se plantea en este trabajo tiene gran connotación social, pues su solución permite formar cualidades de la personalidad del técnico medio en electricidad vinculadas a una adecuada relación sujeto – objeto, que le permite adaptarse al escenario formativo donde se desarrolla y transforma para satisfacer las necesidades sociales a partir de su relación con el medio, lo que se concreta en la relación sujeto – objeto con la educación energética de los estudiantes.

Prevalence, associated factors and outcomes of pressure injuries in adult intensive care unit patients: the DecubICUs study

Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat
