Proyecto de Innovación Docente en la materia de Estancias Clínicas I del Grado en Enfermería a través de la metodología “Flip Teaching”

[Resumen] Contextualización: La asignatura Estancias Clínicas I es el primer paso práctico para la inmersión de los alumnos en las técnicas de Enfermería. Actualmente se organiza con presentaciones orales en aula (parte teórica) y posteriormente, con gran carga práctica, en laboratorios, con simulación para cada técnica de 2 h, en grupos pequeños de 10 alumnos. Limitaciones: transmisión de la información teórica y su relación con la parte práctica (distanciadas en tiempo y forma), desmotivación del alumnado, falta de horas prácticas para las técnicas. Objetivos: mejorar la motivación y el aprendizaje de las competencias marcadas dentro y fuera del aula (previo a la simulación) a través de la metodología Flipped Classroom. Metodología: Cuasiexperimental. Se formarán dos grupos de alumnos (experimental implantando el Flip Teaching y control) de 30 alumnos cada uno, seleccionados aleatoriamente. Se distribuirán en grupos de 10 para la simulación en laboratorio. Grupo control: seguirá la metodología tradicional. Grupo experimental: recibirá para cada técnica, presentaciones locutadas de 20 min y videos educativos elaborados por los docentes; realizarán obligatoriamente un resumen y un foro de participación y un documento de dudas (no obligatorio); finalmente, tendrán que acertar 7 preguntas de 10 aleatorias (pull de 100), con 3 intentos posibles en un autotest. Todo ello trabajado con Moodle antes de la simulación. ¿Qué esperamos?: Mejorar el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje y la motivación. Flexibilizar del aprendizaje previo a la sesión de simulación en laboratorio de las técnicas de enfermería. Ganar horas de simulación práctica al eliminar las clases teóricas presenciale

The Obestatin/GPR39 System Is Up-regulated by Muscle Injury and Functions as an Autocrine Regenerative System

Background: Satellite cell activation is orchestrated by several signals, which induce their differentiation into skeletal muscle fibers. Results: Obestatin and the GPR39 receptor exert an autocrine role on the control of myogenesis. Conclusion: Our data indicate that obestatin/GPR39 is an injury-regulated signal that functions as a myogenic regenerative system. Significance: Strategies to enhance obestatin-mediated signaling could be useful in treating trauma-induced muscle injuries and skeletal muscle myopathies

Habits, norms and use of technologies in early childhood households from a gender perspective

The use of technologies at home directly influences how children perceive them for their learning at school. Numerous studies have focused on the different ways in which digital technologies are used at home and in schools. These studies attempt to explain how previous experience and knowledge can be linked to the use of technologies at school, the differences between home and school literacies, or how socio-economic status influences the availability of technology in these socio-educational institutions. All of them show that technology has become part of children's lives. Consequently, the aim of this study was to obtain information about the habits, norms and use of technology by children aged 2-6 years in their homes and the differences between genders. To this end, a validated questionnaire was created. A total of 1016 parents completed the questionnaire. The results show the most used technologies, the time of use and whom they are used with, as well as the rules imposed and their opinion about this use. Likewise, there are significant differences that lead to carry out and discuss proposals for STEAM work in Early Childhood Education classrooms in order to empower students.The use of technologies at home directly influences how children perceive them for their learning at school.

Prevalence and characteristics of older people with pressure ulcers and legs ulcers, in nursing homes in Barcelona

Background: Nursing home residents are vulnerable to chronic wounds. However, the prevalence data are scarce. Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of pressure ulcers and/or leg ulcers in nursing home residents, and describe the characteristics of the nursing homes, the residents and the wounds, as well as possible associations between these characteristics. Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey of nursing home residents over the age of 65 in 168 facilities in Barcelona. Those presenting category II-IV pressure ulcers and/or leg ulcers were included. The data were collected by observation/examination. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were performed. Results: The overall prevalence of pressure ulcers and leg ulcers combined was 4.4% (3.5% were pressure ulcers and 0.9% were leg ulcers). In small nursing homes with less nursing staff, the overall prevalence was greater than in large nursing homes (5.6% vs 3.8% [p = 0.01]). As expected, residents with pressure ulcers had higher pressure ulcer risk, worse dependence and cognitive status, urinary and faecal incontinence, and most were underweight. However, residents with leg ulcers had worse venous and arterial impairment and also were overweight. A multivariate analysis showed that pressure ulcers were statistically significantly associated with faecal incontinence (OR = 0.28, 95% CI = 0.09–0.81) and dyslipidaemia (OR = 0.21, 95% CI = 0.06–0.66), and leg ulcers were statistically significantly associated with venous insufficiency (OR = 4.93, 95% CI = 1.65–15.34). The characteristics of gluteal and ischial pressure ulcers, a high prevalence of infection, and a low reference to biofilm by nurses, in both types of wounds, suggest that these aspects are not adequately taken into account. Conclusions: Pressure ulcers and leg ulcers, mainly pressure ulcers, remain a public health problem in nursing homes. Further studies are required to confirm the associations found in this study.This work was supported by the College of Nursing of Barcelona (Spain) through a Research Projects Grant (PR-2040/2015)
