ABSTRACT
Resumen Introducción. La publicación científica se debe incentivar desde el pregrado, sobre todo en carreras de ciencias de la salud. Objetivo. Determinar las características y los factores asociados a la publicación científica entre los miembros de la Asociación Científica de Estudiantes de Medicina de Colombia (ASCEMCOL). Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un estudio transversal analítico que se basó en una encuesta presencial aplicada a los miembros de la ASCEMCOL. Se definió como publicación la realizada en una revista científica indexada; la información recolectada se cruzó con variables para obtener estadísticos de asociación. Resultados. Al realizar el análisis multivariado, se asoció a mayor participación en investigaciones científicas el encontrarse en un semestre académico superior (RPa: 1.25; IC95%: 1.01-1.56; p=0.043) y tener más cantidad de investigaciones extracurriculares (RPa: 1.26; IC95%: 1.15-1.38; p<0.001); así mismo, la menor frecuencia de publicación se asoció a la percepción de pobre apoyo por parte de la universidad (RPa: 0.28; IC95%: 0.22-0.34; p<0.001), ajustado por la cantidad de trabajos presentados a congresos y la universidad de procedencia. Conclusión. La frecuencia de publicación fue baja en esta población. Se encontraron factores de gran importancia, como estar en un mayor semestre y tener mayor número de investigaciones realizadas y publicaciones.
Abstract Introduction: The scientific publication should be encouraged from the undergraduates, especially in science health careers. Objective: To determine the features and factors associated with scientific publication among members of the Scientific Association of Medical Students of Colombia (ASCEMCOL). Materials and methods: An analytic cross-sectional study, which was based on a face survey applied to the members of the ASCEMCOL. A publication was defined as a publication made in an indexed scientific journal; and the information collected was crossed with variables to obtain a statistical association. Results: When performing multivariate analysis, it was associated with increased participation in scientific research the fact of being in a superior academic semester (RPA: 1.25; 95% CI: 1.01-1.56; p value: 0.043), more of extracurricular investigations (RPA: 1.26; 95% CI: 1.15-1.38; p value <0.001). Likewise, the lower frequency of publications associated with the perception of poor support from the university (RPA: 0.28; 95% CI: 0.22-0.34; p value <0.001), adjusted to the number of papers presented in congresses and the university of origin. Conclusion: The publication frequency was low in this population; we find important factors like being in a superior academic semester, such as having a greater number of investigations and publications.
ABSTRACT
El personal sanitario se enfrenta frecuentemente a situaciones de vida y muerte, por lo que su trabajo puede ser física y emocionalmente agotador. La presencia del síndrome de Burnout representa un riesgo para la salud que afecta la moral y el bienestar psicológico, repercutiendo esto en la calidad y tratamiento que se proporciona al paciente. El objetivo del estudio es determinar la frecuencia del síndrome de Burnout en médicos residentes de especialidades médicas del Hospital Central "Dr. Emilio Cubas" del Instituto de Previsión Social, en el año 2013. El diseño es transeccional descriptivo. La muestra está constituida por 75 residentes de diversos años y especialidades. Se encontró un bajo porcentaje de residentes con este síndrome (6,67%). Si bien, la vida de un médico puede resultar desgastante, la satisfacción profesional que le brinda su trabajo, hace que sea placentera su jornada.
Health workers are often faced with situations of life and death, that is why their work can be physically and emotionally exhausting. The presence of Burnout syndrome represents a health risk that affects the moral and psychological welfare, and this influences the quality and treatment provided to the patient. The aim of the research was to determine the frequency of Burnout syndrome in medical residents medical specialties Hospital Central "Dr. Emilio Cubas' of Instituto de Previsión Social in 2013. The design was descriptive transactional. The sample consisted of 75 residents of different years and specialties. A low percentage of residents with this syndrome (6.67%) was found. Although the life of a doctor can be exhausting, job satisfaction provided by their work make their journey a pleasant one.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: Home-based care providers were surveyed to assess the effect of collaborative service between Gyeongnam Regional Cancer Center (GRCC) and public health centers (PHCs) in Gyeongnam province. METHODS: Twenty home-based care providers who had previously participated in the GRCC-PHC care project were recruited from nine PHCs and were surveyed using a questionnaire developed by specialists. Questions were rated using the 5-point Likert scale ranging from "strongly disagree (-2)" to "strongly agree (+2)" and each score was multiplied by the corresponding number of respondents (n=20) with the maximum score of 40. RESULTS: Between January 2008 and December 2011, 73 patients were registered to the collaborative service: 72 by GRCC and one by PHC. Home-based care providers marked the highest score (23 points) to "The collaborative service contributed to patients and their family's psychological stability" and the lowest score (11 points) to "The collaborative service was generally helpful for home-based cancer management." For possible suggestions to improve the service, the highest score (35 points) was given to "Simplification of the hospitalization process" followed by "Substantial benefits for patients at their visit to the hospital" (34 points). CONCLUSION: The results revealed several limitations of the GRCC-PHC collaborative care service for terminal cancer patients. The service could be further improved by developing measures to address the limitations and a service model tailored to region-specific needs.
