Gerentes de escuelas de enfermería: una discusión sobre su adaptación al entorno social según la Teoría de Roy

Objetivo: la investigación aborda el desempeño gerencial de las primeras directoras enfermeras en la región central de México, con el objetivo de analizar los retos afrontados por ellas en su entorno social durante su gestión en las escuelas de enfermería en la década de los setenta. Método: se llevó a cabo un estudio cualitativo de corte histórico-social, sustentado en la teoría de adaptación; los sujetos de estudio fueron las directoras o sus colaboradoras cercanas. Para la recolección de datos se utilizó la entrevista; los datos se analizaron con la técnica colorimétrica. Resultados: los resultados revelaron que sus retos fueron: sociales, de género y erradicar el estigma social. Los mecanismos innatos: ser visionarias; los adquiridos: vencer el miedo al cargo, adaptarse a la organización universitaria. Conclusión: la investigación ofrece aportes a la teoría, y señala su aplicabilidad en el ámbito gerencial. Se refleja el significado de adaptación en la posición gerencial, mostrando que el nivel de adaptación fue integrado

Measure of National Return in International Science Cooperation

In the decades since science and technology measures were crafted and adopted by governments, R&D has increasingly taken place across national boundaries. This leaves a gap for policy makers in how to account for the benefits to national governments of supporting international collaboration in science. This article seeks to address this gap by suggesting a measure for the impact of international collaboration in science using fractionalized field-weighted citations and analysing these in relationship to public spending and researcher mobility

Openness and Impact of Leading Scientific Countries

The rapid rise of international collaboration over the past three decades, demonstrated in coauthorship of scientific articles, raises the question of whether countries benefit from cooperative science and how this might be measured. We develop and compare measures to ask this question. For all source publications in 2013, we obtained from Elsevier national-level full and fractional paper counts as well as accompanying field-weighted citation counts. Then we collected information from Elsevier on the percent of all internationally coauthored papers for each country, as well as Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) measures of the international mobility of the scientific workforce in 2013, and conducted a principle component analysis that produced an openness index. We added data from the OECD on government budget allocation on research and development (GBARD) for 2011 to tie in the public spending that contributed to the 2013 output. We found that openness among advanced science systems is strongly correlated with impact—the more internationally engaged a nation is in terms of coauthorships and researcher mobility, the higher the impact of scientific work. The results have important implications for policy making around investment, as well as the flows of students, researchers, and technical workers
