RESUMEN

El Perfil de egreso constituye un modelo teórico y la imagen del profesional que la institución de educación superior aspira formar. Es un conjunto de atributos que son certificados y le permiten a una persona ser reconocida y aceptada por la sociedad como profesional. La emergencia de estándares de calidad, utilizados por las agencias de acreditación de carreras universitarias, hoy exigen la necesidad de evaluar y rendir cuentas acerca del logro de las competencias establecidas y declaradas en el perfil de egreso, sin embargo, hay escasa evidencia concreta que demuestre modelos operativos de cómo abordar ese proceso de evaluación en distintos programas. Dada la relevancia del Perfil de Egreso de una carrera de pregrado y considerando que constituye el eje fundamental para el desarrollo curricular de los programas educativos, para realizar el proceso de autoevaluación y la posterior acreditación de las carreras, diseñamos e implementamos un modelo de seguimiento del cumplimiento del perfil de egreso en el plan de estudios de las carreras de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad Finis Terrae.


The Graduate Profile constitutes the theoretical model and the professional image that higher education aspires to form. It is a set of certified attributes and allows a person to be recognized and accepted by society as a professional. The emergence of quality standards, used by university careers' accreditation agencies, demands the need to evaluate and be accountable for achieving the competencies established and declared in the Graduate Profile. However, the is limited concrete evidence to demonstrate operational models of how to approach this evaluation process in different programs. Given the relevance of the Graduate Profile of an undergraduate career and considering that it constitutes the fundamental axis for the curricular development of educational programs, to carry out the self-evaluation process and the subsequent accreditation of the degrees, we design and implement a model for monitoring the compliance with the graduation profile in the study plan of the Faculty of Medicine of Universidad Finis Terrae.

RESUMEN

ABSTRACT Objective: To ascertain the level of care and the predisposing, enabling and need factors associated with care received by older adults using Andersen's framework. Methods: The 2012 Jamaica Survey of Living Conditions was used to conduct descriptive, bivariate and binary logistic analyses for the receipt of care among older adults defined by activities of daily living (ADL) and the instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) measures. The ADL sample comprised 3152 older adults and the IADL sample comprised 3141 older adults. Results: Approximately 16% of older adults received ADL care and significant binary logistic associations with age, area of residence, living arrangements, source of financial support, disability, and perceived health status were found. Approximately 69% received IADL care and significant binary logistic associations with gender, age, employed, living arrangements, wealth status, source of financial support, satisfaction with life accomplishments, disability and perceived health status were found for those receiving IADL care. Conclusion: Predisposing, enabling and need factors of the Andersen framework predict ADL and IADL care. Therefore, plans for care of older adults must address those 70 years or older who live alone, have a disability, a chronic illness and rate their health poorly.


RESUMEN Objetivo: Determinar el nivel de cuidados y los factores predisponentes, capacitantes y de necesidad asociados con el cuidado recibido por los adultos mayores, usando el modelo de Andersen. Métodos: La Encuesta de Condiciones de Vida en Jamaica 2012 fue utilizada para realizar análisis descriptivos, bivariantes y logísticos binarios en relación con el recibimiento de cuidados entre los adultos mayores, definidos por las medidas de las actividades de la vida diaria (AVD) y las actividades instrumentales de la vida diaria (AIVD). La muestra de AVD abarcó 3152 adultos mayores y la muestra de AIVD abarcó 3141 adultos mayores. Resultados: Aproximadamente el 16% de los adultos mayores recibieron cuidados de AVD, y en su análisis se hallaron asociaciones logísticas binarias significativas con la edad, el área de residencia, la situación de vivienda, la fuente de apoyo financiero, la discapacidad y el estado de salud percibido. Aproximadamente el 69% recibió cuidados de AIVD, y en su análisis se hallaron asociaciones logísticas binarias con el género, la edad, los empleados, la situación de vivienda, la situación económica, la fuente de apoyo financiero, la satisfacción con los logros de vida, la discapacidad, y el estado de salud percibido. Conclusión: Los factores predisponentes, capacitantes y de necesidad del modelo de Andersen predicen los cuidados de AVD y AIVD. Por lo tanto, los planes para el cuidado de adultos mayores tienen que abarcar a aquellas personas de 70 años o más que viven solas, tienen una discapacidad, una enfermedad crónica, y valoran su salud como pobre.

RESUMEN

Mosvold Hospital is a government district hospital situated in northern KwaZulu-Natal; a province with an antenatal HIV prevalence of 39. A previous study indicated that 45of deaths certified at Mosvold Hospital were due to HIV/AIDS. The antiretroviral roll-out programme commenced at Mosvold Hospital on 16 September 2004. Results : Of the deaths between 2003 and 2006; 53 were certified as having HIV/AIDS as the underlying cause of death. Between 2003 and 2005 there was a significant reduction in the average age at death for males and females; with an increase in mortality in the zero to four years age group. In 2006 there was a significant increase in the average age at death of females compared to 2005; although this increase was not demonstrated to be due to an improvement in mortality from HIV/AIDS. Conclusion : HIV/AIDS continues to be the dominant public health concern in the sub-district. To date; public health measures such as the antiretroviral roll-out programme cannot be demonstrated to have affected mortality from the disease

RESUMEN

A pharmacoeconomic study of 15 antibiotics available in Barbados was performed. The antibiotics studied were amoxycillin/clavulanate, ampicillin/sulbactam, cefazolin, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, clindamycin, cloxacillin, cotrimoxazole, gentamicin, imipenem, metronidazole, piperacillin/tazobactam, and vancomycin. The costs of use of these compound were calculated for a five-day course using a formula comprising eight categories: antibiotic purchase cost, maintenance of intravenous access, drug delivery cost, drug monitoring cost, dose readjustment, general monitoring cost, 'sharps' disposal cost and adverse effects. The cost of adverse effects were not included in this study due to lack of accurate data. The total cost of antibiotic use (in U.S. dollars) ranged from $42.52 to $463.73 per five-day course. Generic compound were less expensive ($45.52-$98.23) than brand-name compounds ($106.18 - $463.73). Antibiotic purchase costs accounted for proportions of total costs ranging from 7 to 93 percent. Non-drug costs represented a much greater proportion of total costs of generic compounds. For most compound the non-drug costs were related to the frequency of dosing, but for gentamicin the non-drug costs were relatively higher because of the need for monitoring of serum gentamicin levels. Efficacy and freedom from side-effects will remain the most important determinants in the choice of antibiotic therapy. However, pharmacoeconomic analyses can provide prescribers with the information required to make cost-effective choices for treatment of their patients

RESUMEN

A simple method has been developed for continuous monitoring of metabolic activity of an isolated, perfused rat heart by O2/CO2 respirometer. Since respirometer provides vital data on oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production of a preserved organ on a continuous basis over a long period of time, it will be possible to use this method to monitor viability of not only isolated heart but also any given donor organ under preservation.
