Impact of CES university wellness programs on the quality of life of undergraduate students.

Las universidades de Colombia, en el cumplimiento de sus funciones sustantivas, deben promover programas y acciones que impacten la calidad de vida de sus estudiantes y la formación integral a través de las áreas de bienestar universitario desde diferentes estrategias, sin embargo, es limitado el conocimiento existente sobre la efectividad de los programas de bienestar universitario. El propósito de este estudio es comprender el impacto de los programas de bienestar universitario sobre la calidad de vida de los estudiantes de pregrado. Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo, con intención analítica y transversal en el que se analizaron características sociodemográficas, los programas y acciones ofertados y el impacto logrado en las dimensiones de calidad de vida del estudiante que participó de dichos programas. En dicho estudio se tomó una muestra de 1214 estudiantes pertenecientes a los semestres académico 2° a 11°, que representa el 11% de la población universitaria. La recolección de información del estudio se realizó mediante una encuesta que incorpora dos instrumentos: El instrumento de autoevaluación de la Universidad CES, mediante el cual se valoran los servicios y programas del área de bienestar universitario (la formación del ser, la actividad física y deporte, la promoción artística y la promoción social universitaria), por otra parte el instrumento WHOQOL-BREF (OMS), mediante el cual se analiza la percepción de calidad de vida del sujeto en sus dimensiones: física, psicológica, social y ambiental. Los resultados obtenidos señalan que la participación de los estudiantes en programas de bienestar universitario está relacionada de manera directa con cada una de las dimensiones de calidad de vida de estos. Se encontró una correlación entre participar en los programas de bienestar universitario con la dimensión de salud física. De igual manera se observó que las acciones de bienestar, la edad y estrato socioeconómico explican en un 40,2% la variabilidad de la dimensión de salud física, el 42,9% de la dimensión psicológica, el 31,4% de la dimensión de relaciones sociales y el 40% de la dimensión de ambiente. Se puede concluir que los programas de bienestar universitario tienen relación directa con la percepción de calidad de vida y cada una de las dimensiones de los participantes.The universities of Colombia, in compliance with their supporting functions, must promote programs and actions that impact the quality of life of their students and comprehensive training through the areas of university biology through different strategies, however limited. existing knowledge about the effectiveness of university welfare programs.

Post-discharge medication reviews for patients with heart failure: a pilot study

Background Medication misadventure is greatest at times of change such as the transition from hospital to community. Patients with heart failure are prone to medication misadventure due to polypharmacy, inappropriate medication use and frequent readmissions. Objective To identify the barriers encountered when implementing a Liaison Pharmacist facilitated post-discharge medication management service for patients with heart failure. Method A Liaison Pharmacist contacted the patient’s General Practitioner (GP), sent them a medication discharge summary and organised an appointment for the patient with the GP approximately 2 days post-discharge to make a Home Medicines Review (HMR) referral. The patient’s community pharmacist was also contacted, sent a medication discharge summary and requested to engage an accredited pharmacist to undertake the HMR. The Liaison Pharmacist arranged for the HMR report to be sent to the outpatient department clinic to enable assessment of outcomes at the outpatient department follow-up 12 weeks post-discharge. Main outcome measure: GP HMR referral rates. Results 90 patients were offered the service. Fifty-nine patients (66%) agreed to have their GP contacted with 56 GPs agreeing to order a HMR and 41 patients having an HMR post-discharge. Barriers to the implementation of a HMR post-discharge included: patient withdrawal, low GP awareness of the HMR process and conducting the HMR in a timely manner. Conclusion This study provides evidence for the feasibility of a post-discharge pharmacy service for patients with heart failure although barriers to implementation have been identified.Anne Ponniah, Sepehr Shakib, Christopher J.
