Proyecto plataforma uhired

El presente proyecto es una plataforma web llamada “Uhired” para jóvenes entre 18 – 30 años que cuenten con estudios profesionales y/o técnicos. La finalidad de la plataforma es poder conectar a jóvenes con profesionales para que accedan a simulaciones de entrevistas laborales reales y puedan recibir un feedback personalizado. En base a la investigación realizada, se identificaron una serie de factores que influyen en el desempeño de los jóvenes en los procesos de selección a un puesto laboral, especialmente en aquellos que se encuentran en búsqueda de sus primeras prácticas profesionales. Dentro de los factores identificados se encontraron: la falta de recursos para que los jóvenes puedan prepararse de manera adecuada para rendir una entrevista en el sector laboral, la fuerte competencia en el ámbito laboral y la ausencia de una retroalimentación adecuada al postulante. Asimismo, se realizaron diversos experimentos en redes sociales y mediante un Landing page para poder identificar la intención de compra de los usuarios potenciales. Mediante diversas publicaciones, recomendaciones y videos se obtuvo los datos necesarios para llevar a cabo la proyección de ventas del proyecto. Además, se realizó un prototipo de la plataforma y se entrevistaron a diversos potenciales usuarios y profesionales. Como siguiente paso ya con los resultados de los experimentos, se elaboró el plan estratégico, plan de marketing, operativo, de recursos humanos y el plan financiero. En ellos, se encuentran detallados los factores necesarios para evaluar la viabilidad del proyecto.This project is a web platform called "Uhired" for young adults between 18 - 30 years old who have professional or technical studies. The purpose is to connect students with professionals so they can access to simulations of real job interviews and receive personalized feedback. Based on the research carried out, a series of factors were identified that influence the students' performance in a recruitment and selection process, especially in those who are seeking their first internship. Among the factors identified were the lack of resources for students to prepare effectively to take a job interview, strong competition in some fields and the lack of a personalized feedback. Likewise, some experiments were carried out on social media and through a landing page to be able to identify the purchase intention from our potential users. Through various posts, recommendations, and videos the required data to carry out a sales projection of the project was obtained. In addition, a prototype of the platform was made, and various potential users and professionals were interviewed. As a next step, with the results of the experiments, the strategic plan, marketing plan, operational plan, human resources plan, and financial plan were drawn up. There, the factors necessary to evaluate the viability of the project are detailed.Trabajo de investigació

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

Association between functional outcomes and time since injury in trauma survivors: Exploratory Analysis of the CRASH-2 trial

Introducción: Actualmente, los traumatismos son considerados la sexta causa de mortalidad y la quinta causa de discapacidad en todos los grupos etarios. Uno de los factores más importantes en la supervivencia de un paciente traumatizado es el tiempo de injuria. Objetivo: Estimar la asociación entre el tiempo de injuria y el nivel de estatus funcional al alta en pacientes adultos con trauma enrolados en el ensayo CRASH-2 durante los años 2005-2010. Métodos: Estudio de tipo cohorte retrospectiva que corresponde a un análisis secundario de la base de datos del ensayo experimental CRASH-2. Se calculó el riesgo relativo (RR) del tiempo de injuria que se define como el intervalo de tiempo que inicia desde el momento del accidente hasta la el arribo al hospital y estatus funcional mediante un modelo lineal generalizado de la familia Poisson, link log con varianza robusta con un intervalo de confianza al 95% ajustado por edad, sexo, tipo de injuria, accidente cerebro vascular (ACV), traumatismo encéfalo craneano (TEC) y eventos vasooclusivos. Resultados: Se analizó la información de 16,950 pacientes para este estudio. El 66.97% de los pacientes tuvieron un tiempo no prolongado (≤ 3 horas) y el 76.77% presentaron un estatus funcional independiente al alta. Encontramos que los pacientes que tuvieron un tiempo de injuria prolongado tienen un 11.00% más riesgo de presentar un estatus funcional dependiente en comparación a los pacientes con tiempo de injuria no prolongado. Conclusión: Nuestro estudio apoya el rápido transporte de pacientes con trauma ante la relación entre un tiempo de injuria prolongado y el desarrollo de un estatus funcional dependiente.Introduction: Currently, trauma is considered the sixth global cause of mortality and fifth cause of disability in all age groups. . One of the most important factors in the survival of an injured patient is the injury time. Objective: To estimate the association between injury time and functional status at discharge in adult trauma patients enrolled in the CRASH-2 trial during the years 2005-2010. Methods: Retrospective cohort study corresponding to a secondary analysis of the CRASH-2 experimental trial database. The relative risk (RR) of time of injury (defined as the time interval from the time of the injury to hospital arrival) and functional status was calculated using a generalized linear model of the Poisson family, link log with robust variance with a 95% confidence interval adjusted for age, sex, type of injury, stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and vaso-oclusive events. Results: Data from 16,950 patients were analyzed for this study. The 66.97% of the patients had a non-prolonged injury time (≤ 3 hours) and 76.77% presented an independent functional status at discharge. We found that patients who had a prolonged injury time had a 11.00% higher risk of presenting a dependent functional status compared to patients with a non-prolonged injury time. Other factors associated with dependent functional status are age, type of injury, stroke, TBI, among others. Conclusions: Our study concludes that a prolonged injury time increases the risk of developing a dependent functional status and due to this result, we encourage the rapid transportation of trauma patients to reduce the risk of dependent functional status.Tesi
