RESUMO
The rapid development of point-of-care testing (POCT) in clinical laboratories has brought challenges to the unified management in the hospital. There are many problems, such as how to ensure the ability and qualification of POCT operators, how to improve the quality management awareness of human, machines, materials, methods and environment in the process of POCT in clinical laboratories, how to help the clinical laboratories in the hospital to carry out POCT comparison, and how to strengthen the information construction of POCT in the hospital. Thus, this article reviews the practice and experience of POCT management in our hospital on POCT quality assurance and the problems existing in POCT in clinical departments, proposes suggestions and solutions to strengthen the unified management of POCT in clinical laboratories and establish POCT quality management documents and to improve quality awareness. We hope to provide references for hospital administrators, medical departments, nursing departments, quality control departments and other functional departments on the quality management of POCT in the hospital, and find helpful answers to the puzzles of clinical laboratory in POCT, so as to make joint efforts to standardize the quality management of POCT in the hospital to ensure the accuracy of testing results.
RESUMO
El objetivo del presente estudio se ha centrado en la calibración de la versión española de la escala reducida de 10 ítems (Indice de Hiperactividad de Conners [IHC]) mediante el modelo de Rasch, utilizando una muestra de 482 niños de 5 y 6 años. Los resultados mostraron que el IHC tiene buenas propiedades psicométricas. El ajuste, tanto de los ítems como de las personas al modelo de Rasch, es bueno y las categorías de respuesta funcionan adecuadamente. Las puntuaciones de los niños fueron significativamente superiores a las de las niñas. Tres de los ítems tienen riesgo de presentar Funcionamiento Diferencial del Ítem (DIF) en función del género. El IHC tiene un evidente efecto suelo que impide evaluar a niños con niveles de hiperactividad bajos.
Conners Hyperactivity Index or Conners 3-AI using the Rasch model. The participants in this study were 482 children aged 5 and 6 years old. Results showed that the IHC has good psychometric properties. The fit of both items and persons data to Rasch model was good, and the response categories were functioning properly. Boys scored significantly higher than girls. Three of the items were at risk of gender-specific DIF. The Conners 3-AI has an obvious floor effect, which prevents the evaluation of children with low levels of hyperactivity.
