Medidas de frecuencia, asociación e impacto en investigación aplicada
En la Sociedad actual del conocimiento y la información es preciso disponer de herramientas básicas para medir los fenómenos epidemiológicos como la enfermedad, la incapacidad o la siniestralidad laboral. Las formas de medir son instrumentos que se deben conocer y aplicar para planificar y tomar decisiones en Salud Pública y en Salud Laboral. El objetivo de este artículo es dar a conocer las principales medidas de frecuencia, asociación e impacto utilizadas en investigación aplicada, clínica o de Salud Pública para tratar de medir, valorar y estimar la importancia de los problemas de salud y enfermedades de relacionadas con el trabajo, de los factores de riesgo ocupacionales y otros eventos relacionados con la seguridad e higiene en el trabajo y, en definitiva, con la Salud de los trabajadores. Se describen los conceptos teóricos de las formas de medir en epidemiología, su interpretación y aplicación práctica de los indicadores básicos utilizados en la práctica habitual de los profesionales de las Ciencias de la Salud. Su utilidad fundamental es poder disponer de una información objetiva, fiable y precisa que permita tomar decisiones adecuadas y pertinentes en relación con la prevención, seguridad laboral, atención y rehabilitación de los trabajadores.<br>In the society´current knowledge and information is necessary to have basic tools to measure the epidemic phenomena such as illness, disability or workplace accidents. The ways of measuring are instruments that they must know and apply to plan and take decisions on Public Health and Labour/Occupational Health. The aim of this article is to inform about the most important measures of frequency, association and impact used in applied research, clinical or Public Health to try to measure, to value and estimate the importance of health problems and diseases related work. The occupational risk factors and other events related to safety and healthy working conditions and ultimately with Workers´Health. We describe the theoretical concepts of ways to measure in epidemiology, their interpretation and practical applicaticon of basic indicators used in the practice of professionals in the Health Sciences. Its usefulness is essential to have an objetive, reliable and precise information to make sound decisions and allow relevant to the prevention, labour/occupational safety, care and rehabilitation of the workers
Investigación de la repercusión en el proceso de aprendizaje según la metodología docente en la infección urinaria
Introduction: The classical teaching methodology was based on passive transmission-based learning. The model has changed towards an orientation based on student-centred learning. Objective: The objective of the study has been to evaluate the students’ perception when learning about urinary tract infections, and their perspective about the teaching imparted on this pathology in the various subjects that include ITU in their syllabus. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study of the responses to an anonymous survey entitled: “Methodology on urine infections. Teaching aspects “issued by 228 students at their fifth year of Medical School, from two promotions. They referred to the following subjects: Pharmacy, Pathophisiology, Gynecology and Obstetrics, Infectious diseases, Microbiology, Nephrology, Pediatrics and Urology. Results: The following variables have been analysed: teaching content, teaching basic aspects of the disease, consideration of teaching methodology and improvement suggestions. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used. Conclusion: The study has concluded that teaching urinary tract infection is perceived in specific subjects related to microorganism (Microbiology), the target organ (Infectious diseases, Urology), affected patients (Pediatrics, Gynecology and Obstetrics) rather than transversal subjects such as Pathophysiology or Pharmacy. The teaching methodology has been considered appropriate by more than 50% of the students in five from the 8 subjects that teach the concept of urinary tract infection. The students suggest convenient changes in current teaching methodology in several subjects that impart the urinary tract infection concept. © 2019 AE
