Escala de personalidad de las tiendas: evidencias sobre la validez factorial
La atribuciĂłn de rasgos de personalidad humana a los establecimientos comerciales reviste una importancia incuestionable. Este trabajo pretende ofrecer evidencias sobre la validez de las puntuaciones de la escala de personalidad de tienda desarrollada por GarcĂa-Ferrer y GarcĂa (2013). Se han llevado a cabo dos estudios en los que se aplican modelos exploratorios de ecuaciones estructurales para estudiar la dimensionalidad de la escala. En el primer estudio 324 consumidores respondieron a la escala en formato de lĂĄpiz y papel. En el segundo estudio 234 consumidores distintos respondieron a la escala en formato online. En ambos estudios se encuentran resultados que apoyan la estructura factorial de 5 dimensiones encontrada por las citadas autoras: Tienda Excitante, Tienda Distinguida, Tienda PrĂłxima, Tienda Competente y Tienda Audaz.The attribution of human personality traits to commercial establishments is of unquestionable importance. This paper aims to provide empirical evidence on the factorial validity of the store personality scale developed by GarcĂa-Ferrer and GarcĂa (2013). Two studies have been carried out in which exploratory structural equations models are applied to investigate the scale dimensionality. In the first study a convenience sample of 324 customers answered the scale in a pencil and paper version. In the second study 234 different customers answered the scale in a online version. In both studies the results support the factorial structure of 5 dimensions found by the cited authors: Exciting Store, Distinguished Store, Next Store, Competent Store and Bold Store
The impact of ABCDE bundle implementation on patient outcomes: a nationwide cohort study
Background: The ABCDE bundle is a set of evidence-based practices to systematically reduce the risks of sedation, delirium, and immobility in intensive care patients. Implementing the bundle improves clinical outcome. Aims and Objectives: To investigate the association between patient outcomes and compliance with bundle components ABC (analgosedation algorithms), D (delirium protocol), and E (early mobilization protocol). Design: A Spanish multicentre cohort study of adult patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) for â„48 h until extubation. Methods: The primary outcome was pain level, cooperation to permit Medical Research Council Scale administration, patient days of delirium, and mobility. The secondary outcome was cumulative drug dosing by IMV days. Tertiary outcomes (ICU days, IMV days, bed rest days, ICU mortality, ICUAW) and independent variables (analgosedation, delirium, early mobilization protocols) were also studied. Results: Data were collected from 605 patients in 80 ICUs and 5214 patient days with IMV. Two-thirds of the ICUs studied applied no protocols. Pain was not assessed on 83.6% of patient days. Patient cooperation made scale administration feasible on 20.7% of days. Delirium and immobility were found on 4.2% and 69.9% of days, respectively. Patients had shorter stays in ICUs with bundle protocols and fewer days of IMV in ICUs with delirium and mobilization bundle components (P = 0.006 and P = 0.03, respectively). Analgosedation protocols were associated with more opioid dosing (P = 0.02), and delirium and early mobilization protocols with more propofol (P = 0.001), dexmedetomidine (P = 0.001), and lower benzodiazepine dosing (P = 0.008). Conclusions: The implementation rate of ABCDE bundle components was very low in our Spanish setting, but when implemented, patients had a shorter ICU stay, more analgesia dosing, and lighter sedation. Relevance to clinical practice: Applying some but not all the bundle components, there is increased analgesia and light sedation drug use, decreased benzodiazepines, and increased patient cooperation and mobility, resulting in a shorter ICU stay and fewer days of IMV

Microbial and immune faecal determinants in infants hospitalized with COVID-19 reflect bifidobacterial dysbiosis and immature intestinal immunity
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread rapidly worldwide, seriously endangering human health. Although SARS-CoV-2 had a lower impact on paediatric population, children with COVID-19 have been reported as suffering from gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms at a higher rate than adults. The aim of this work was to evaluate faeces as a source of potential biomarkers of severity in the paediatric population, with an emphasis on intestinal microbiota and faecal immune mediators, trying to identify possible dysbiosis and immune intestinal dysfunction associated with the risk of hospitalization. This study involved 19 patients with COVID-19 under 24Â months of age hospitalized during the pandemic at 6 different hospitals in Spain, and it included a comparable age-matched healthy control group (nâ=â18). Patients and controls were stratified according to their age in two groups: newborns or young infants (from 0 to 3Â months old) and toddlers (infants from 6 to 24Â months old). To characterize microbial intestinal communities, sequencing with Illumina technology of total 16S rDNA amplicons and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) amplicons of bifidobacteria were used. Faecal calprotectin (FC) and a range of human cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors were measured in faecal samples using ELISA and a multiplex system. Significant reduction in the abundance of sequences belonging to the phylum Actinobacteria was found in those infants with COVID-19, as well as in the Bifidobacteriaceae family. A different pattern of bifidobacteria was observed in patients, mainly represented by lower percentages of Bifidobacterium breve, as compared with controls. In the group of hospitalized young infants, FC was almost absent compared to age-matched healthy controls. A lower prevalence in faecal excretion of immune factors in these infected patients was also observed.Open Access funding provided thanks to the CRUE-CSIC agreement with Springer Nature.

Variables psicolĂłgicas implicadas en la actitud e iniciativa emprendedora
Identificar variables individuales relacionadas con la iniciativa emprendedora y el fomento de competencias transversales relacionadas con la misma, supone un desafĂo en la investigaciĂłn actual sobre emprendimiento.
El proyecto titulado Variables psicológicas implicadas en la actitud e iniciativa emprendedora, realizado bajo el programa Innova Docencia promovido por el Vicerrectorado de Calidad de la UCM en la convocatoria 2016-2017, ha tenido por objetivo analizar y evaluar variables psicológicas relacionadas con emprendimiento que presentan una muestra de estudiantes de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. En dicho estudio han participado 1222 estudiantes de la UCM correspondientes a 27 titulaciones: 14 de Grado, 2 de Dobles Grados, y 11 de Måster. El 28,6% de la muestra fueron hombres y el 71% fueron mujeres. La media de edad fue de 20,43 años.
El equipo investigador estuvo compuesto por 40 personas: 25 PDI de la UCM, 2 PAS, 8 alumnos y alumnas, 1 tĂ©cnico, y 4 PDI de las universidades de Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM), UNED, Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), y AlcalĂĄ de Henares (UAH). El PDI de la UCM correspondĂa a las siguientes facultades: PsicologĂa (7), Ciencias de la DocumentaciĂłn (3), Ciencias EconĂłmicas y Empresariales (6), Ciencias PolĂticas y SociologĂa (3), Comercio (1), Trabajo Social (1), Ciencias BiolĂłgicas (2), InformĂĄtica (1), y Bellas Artes (1). Un equipo UCM perteneciente a 9 facultades, que representĂł a 13 departamentos y a todas las ĂĄreas de conocimiento.
La metodologĂa empleada consistiĂł en un cuestionario que evaluaba los siguientes aspectos: datos sociodemogrĂĄficos, actitud emprendedora, y las variables psicolĂłgicas: personalidad, inteligencia emocional, resoluciĂłn de problemas y tolerancia a la ambigĂŒedad. Se optĂł por instrumentos estandarizados, con buenas caracterĂsticas psicomĂ©tricas de fiabilidad y validez que permitieran obtener resultados robustos, con amplia evidencia empĂrica y que evaluaban adecuadamente variables que la literatura ha relacionado con la actitud e iniciativa emprendedora. AdemĂĄs todos ellos se han utilizado en investigaciones relacionadas con emprendimiento, lo que aumentĂł la validez externa.
Se ha analizado la iniciativa emprendedora desde el punto de vista de los estudiantes y también teniendo en cuenta variables del entorno familiar y personal.
Los resultados nos muestran que son las variables psicolĂłgicas de extraversiĂłn, reparaciĂłn emocional y estrategias de resoluciĂłn de problemas las que predicen la iniciativa emprendedora. Los estudiante que compaginan estudios y trabajo tienen una mayor iniciativa emprendedora, y aquellos cuyos padres y/o pareja desarrollan su actividad laboral como autĂłnomos.
Se presentan datos por titulación académica, sexo, actividad laboral de los padres y compaginar estudios y trabajo. Se muestran datos de todas las variables psicológicas por titulación académica, y una comparativa de dichas variables entre los universitarios, un grupo de estudiantes de Formación Profesional (FP) y una muestra de emprendedores reales.
Los resultados obtenidos son relevantes para tomar decisiones orientadas a la mejora de la actitud, iniciativa y comportamiento emprendedor. Permitirån el diseño y ejecución de actividades académicas para sensibilizar a los estudiantes en la cultura emprendedora, y formar en competencias transversales, cada vez mås demandadas, para mejorar la empleabilidad y competitividad como claves para el crecimiento de nuestra sociedad

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] 25.9â27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6â16.8). 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 1.2â1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4â1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3â3.3). 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
