Accounting for Emotional Value: A Review in Disability Organizations.

The aim of this paper is to examine how disability organizations account for the emotional value they create for their stakeholders. Based on a review of the literature on emotional value measurement in third sector organizations working in the disability sector, we investigate to what extent emotional value is considered in their social accounting process and what type of value variables, indicators and proxies are used. The results reveal that the analysis of some quality of life domains provides appropriate evidence to represent the emotional value generated by these organizations but that there is a great dispersion in applied instruments and methodologies. The study improves the knowledge and understanding of existing approaches to capture the emotional component of social value creation and contributes to its standardization. Our analysis has implications for the management of disability organizations that can use social accounting to evaluate their performance and improve their effectiveness and efficiency, showing a more complete picture of the social value generated. Likewise, it can be an instrument to make the contribution and social benefits of these organizations visible in all their breadth, improving transparency and legitimacy.

Health Sciences Students' Perceptions of the Role of the Supervisor in Clinical Placements.

The supervision of clinical placements is essential to achieving a positive learning experience in the clinical setting and which supports the professional training of those being supervised. The aim of this study was to explore health sciences students' perceptions of the role of the supervisor in the supervision of clinical placements. A quantitative methodology was used, administering a previously validated questionnaire, by means of an expert panel and a pre-test, to 134 students from the Faculty of Nursing, Physiotherapy and Podiatry at the University of Seville (Spain). The analysis of variables was carried out by means of a data matrix. The results revealed a statistically significant difference in the perception of placement supervision depending on the degree, with Nursing producing the highest degree of affirmation in the variables studied and the greatest satisfaction with placement supervision; in contrast, Physiotherapy produced the greatest dissatisfaction and the lowest degree of affirmation. The study and analysis of these perceptions facilitates the collection of relevant information in order to formulate actions that help to improve the supervision experience during placements. They also allow a greater understanding of what factors most influence the experience of supervision during clinical placements.

Utilidad y fiabilidad de la ecografía clínica abdominal en medicina familiar (1): hígado, vías biliares y páncreas / Usefulness and reliability of abdominal clinical ultrasound in family medicine (1): Liver, biliary tract and páncreas

La ecografía es una técnica segura y fiable que aumenta la capacidad diagnóstica, agiliza y mejora la toma de decisiones de los profesionales de la medicina en cualquier ámbito de ejercicio. El médico de familia (MF), que debe ser competente para abordar la práctica totalidad de los problemas de salud de las personas, es un especialista idóneo para incorporar esta herramienta a su actividad, dotándose con ella de una capacidad de manejo hasta ahora desconocida, al ser muy numerosas las situaciones clínicas de la práctica habitual en las cuales se puede beneficiar de ella de modo fiable, eficiente y eficaz. Al tratarse de una tecnología muy dependiente del explorador, se hace necesario asegurar la competencia de quienes la practican, definir los beneficios y los potenciales riesgos que su uso puede generar, así como sus escenarios de aplicación, en aras de evitar exploraciones innecesarias y minimizar el coste oportunidad que puede suponer incorporar esta actividad a una agenda de por sí desbordada. Este trabajo pretende resumir el estado actual de la ecografía clínica abdominal y su utilidad para el MF en aquellos escenarios en los que resulta fiable y eficaz

Ultrasound is a safe and reliable way to increase diagnosis capabilities, as well as an improving and speed up method for taking decisions for healthcare professionals of every medical specialty.

Prevenir complicaciones circulatorias. Plan de cuidados estandarizados / Standardized treatment plan to prevent. Circulatory complications

Se plantea la necesidad de estandarizar los cuidados básicos a los pacientes encamados para evitar las complicaciones circulatorias. Si protocolizamos las intervenciones enfermeras en el manejo de este tipo de pacientes y las actividades derivadas de las mismas, podremos actuar precozmente para conseguir nuestro objetivo. Proponemos el siguiente Plan de Cuidados Estandarizado siempre teniendo en cuenta que se trata de un protocolo específico de cuidados, apropiado para pacientes encamados con riesgo de padecer complicaciones circulatorias. No hay que olvidar que los planes de cuidados estandarizados nos servirán como modelo, pero que necesariamente tendremos que personalizarlos con cada paciente(AU)
