The CCPCI total scores and the scores of two factors were higher in counselors over 35 years old than in counselors less than 35 years old (Ps ＜0.001), higher in counselors who had more than 3 years clinical practice than in freshman who had less than 3 years clinical practice (Ps ＜0.001), and higher in counselors who accepted once and more professional training sessions than in those who had no training session (P ＜ 0.01 or P＜0.05). The CCPCI total scores and the scores of application of theory and technology were higher in counselors who were often supervised than in those who were occasionally supervised (Ps ＜0.001). Conclusion: It suggests that the clinical practice competence of the counselors in Henan Province may be at middle level.

Guías para la práctica clínica: qué son, dónde y cómo buscarlas / Clinical practice guidelines: what are, where and how to look for them

A finales del siglo XX, la calidad se convirtió en un aspecto central del debate sobre los cuidados de salud. El ejercicio de una medicina que utiliza, consciente, explícita y racionalmente la mejor evidencia clínica disponible para tomar decisiones sobre el cuidado de los pacientes implica la integración de la maestría clínica individual con las evidencias o pruebas científicas más consistentes y confiables resultantes del avance de la investigación clínica, apropiadas, tanto para el paciente y su condición, como para el médico y el escenario clínico existente. Sin embargo, hallar estas evidencias para cada interrogante clínica no es una tarea fácil de cumplir. Se requiere entonces de nuevas herramientas para integrar adecuadamente toda la información válida y crear una base para tomar decisiones de manera racional. Se estudia con detalle qué son, dónde y cómo encontrar guías para la práctica clínica, así como la importancia del National Guideline Clearinghouse en el acceso a esta clase de documentos. Las guías para la práctica clínica constituyen poderosos aliados para un ejercicio más seguro de la medicina moderna
