How important professional vocation is when medical professionals are affected by Burnout syndrome

Recepción: 29 de mayo de 2016 | Revisión: 30 de mayo de 2016 | Aceptado: 1 de junio de 2016Correspondencia: [email protected]ún distintos estudios, la vocación, las expectativas excesivas y los ideales desconectados de la realidad se presentan como un factor facilitador de la aparición de Burnout. La presente investigación pretende estudiar la relación entre vocación y Burnout en el sector sanitario. Para ello se ha utilizado el cuestionario de Maslach junto con otras preguntas de carácter sociodemográfico, aplicado a una muestra de 43 participantes de diferentes características. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que, en lo que a factores constituyentes del fenómeno se refiere, se encuentra una clara correlación significativa e inversa entre vocación y cansancio emocional. Es decir, que a mayor vocación menor es el cansancio emocional. La relación entre vocación y despersonalización no produjo resultados significativos, aunque sí se observa cierta relación. Por último, se observa también una relación significativa y directa entre vocación y realización personal. Esto es, la realización personal aumenta a medida que aumenta la vocación.According to different studies, vocation, excessive expectations and ideals disconnected from reality are presented as a facilitating factor in the emergence of Burnout. This research looks for studding the relation between professional vocation and burnout syndrome in medical scope. Maslach inventory and other socio-demographic questions are given to 43 participants with different features. The obtained results show that there is an important inverse correlation between vocation and emotional exhaustion. The relation between vocation and depersonalisation did not make any significant result, but there is a relation, indeed. Finally, the direct relation between vocation and personal realisation is also important. Therefore, personal realisation increases at the same time as vocation does.Universidad de Granada.

El mandato festivo como escuela y la escuela como mandato festivo

31 páginasLa Red de Cultura Festiva Escolar propone una mirada de sistematización reflexiva sobre dos eventos importantes en nuestro proceso de red; por un lado, una introducción que permite comprender la naturaleza de trabajo e indagación de nuestra Red, así como los nodos que nos conforman y los ejes metodológicos desde los cuales desarrollamos nuestros procesos. Por otro lado se desarrollan dos capítulos principales donde abordamos la sistematización del 1er y 2do Encuentro de la Red y se desglosan las particularidades e impronta de cada evento, sus características, logros e insumos. En estos capítulos, además, podemos encontrar imágenes de cada evento y su importancia en la consolidación del tejido en red que se manifiesta en nuestras prácticas y principios. Se cierra con un capítulo donde podemos evidenciar los hallazgos y conclusiones principales en la realización de estos dos eventos, así como algunos elementos que aportan a la proyección del sentido de nuestro trabajo en Red. Por último, encontramos las referencias bibliográficas y los anexos donde compartimos fichas de caracterización de algunos de nuestros procesos festivos.Primera edició

Workshop for Basic Gynaecological Examinations: Improving Medical Student Learning through Clinical Simulation

Introduction: This study was designed to evaluate whether the Workshop on Basic Principles for Clinical Gynaecological Exploration, offered to medical students, improves theoretical–practical knowledge, safety, confidence, global satisfaction and the achievement of the proposed objectives in the area of gynaecological clinical examinations. Materials and Methods: This was a quasi-experimental pre–post-learning study carried out at the Gynaecology and Obstetrics department of Gregorio Marañón Hospital in Madrid (Spain). The volunteer participants were 4th-year students earning a degree in Medicine during the 2020–2021 and 2021–2022 academic years. The study period was divided into the following stages: pre-workshop, intra-workshop and 2 weeks post-workshop. In the pre-workshop stage, students completed a brief online course to prepare for the workshop. The effectiveness of the workshop was evaluated through multiple-choice tests and self-administered questionnaires to assess self-assurance, self-confidence, self-satisfaction and the achievement of the objectives. Results: Of the 277 students invited in both academic years, 256 attended the workshop (92.4%), with a total participation in the different stages of the study greater than 70%. A total of 82.5% of the students in the 2020–2021 academic year and 80.6% of students in the 2021–2022 academic year did not have any type of experience performing gynaecological clinical examinations. Between the pre-workshop and 2 weeks post-workshop stages, there was significant improvement in theoretical–practical knowledge (improvement mean = 1.38 and 1.21 in 2020–2021 and 2021–2022 academic years, respectively). The security and confidence of the students prior to the workshop were low (average scores less than 5 points) in both academic years. However, post-workshop scores for satisfaction and the achievement of objectives were high in the two academic years; all the values approached or exceeded 8 points. Conclusions: Our students, after outstanding participation, evaluated the BPCGE, and improved their theoretical and practical knowledge, as well as their skills in a gynaecological clinical examination. Moreover, in their view, after the workshop, they felt very satisfied, far outreaching the proposed aims. In addition, excellent results were maintained over time, year after year

Optimization of adsorptive removal of α-toluic acid by CaO2 nanoparticles using response surface methodology

The present work addresses the optimization of process parameters for adsorptive removal of α-toluic acid by calcium peroxide (CaO2) nanoparticles using response surface methodology (RSM). CaO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical precipitation method and confirmed by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution TEM (HRTEM) analysis which shows the CaO2 nanoparticles size range of 5–15 nm. A series of batch adsorption experiments were performed using CaO2 nanoparticles to remove α-toluic acid from the aqueous solution. Further, an experimental based central composite design (CCD) was developed to study the interactive effect of CaO2 adsorbent dosage, initial concentration of α-toluic acid, and contact time on α-toluic acid removal efficiency (response) and optimization of the process. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to determine the significance of the individual and the interactive effects of variables on the response. The model predicted response showed a good agreement with the experimental response, and the coefficient of determination, (R2) was 0.92. Among the variables, the interactive effect of adsorbent dosage and the initial α-toluic acid concentration was found to have more influence on the response than the contact time. Numerical optimization of process by RSM showed the optimal adsorbent dosage, initial concentration of α-toluic acid, and contact time as 0.03 g, 7.06 g/L, and 34 min respectively. The predicted removal efficiency was 99.50%. The experiments performed under these conditions showed α-toluic acid removal efficiency up to 98.05%, which confirmed the adequacy of the model prediction
