ABSTRACT
Los repositorios constituyen sistemas de información que tienen como finalidad organizar, preservar y difundir en el modo acceso abierto (Open Access) recursos científicos y académicos de las instituciones. En Cuba, y particularmente la red de Infomed, ha propiciado la elaboración de estos sistemas con el objetivo de garantizar un acceso fácil, controlado y estandarizado de determinados recursos informativos. Este trabajo tiene como propósito profundizar en la importancia de los repositorios en el Sistema Nacional de Salud. A tales efectos se analizaron algunos elementos relacionados con el acceso abierto y las plataformas más utilizadas para la creación de los repositorios como el CWIS (Campus Wide Information System), así como las ventajas y desventajas de esta herramienta.
Repositories constitute information systems which have as purpose to organize, preserve and diffuse the scientific and academic resources of the institutions in Open Access. In Cuba, and particularly Infomed network, has propitiated the implementation of these systems with the objective of guaranteeing an easy, controlled and standardized access of certain informative resources. The purpose of this work is to deepen in the importance of repositories in the National Health System. To achieve this, some elements related to the open access and the most used platforms for the implementation of repositories such as CWIS (Campus Wide Information System), as well as the advantages and disadvantages of this tool were analyzed.

The objectives of the study were to translate the Cardiff Wound Impact Schedule (CWIS), a disease-specific quality-of-life measure, into Chinese, and to evaluate its psychometric properties. The CWIS went through the full linguistic translation process and was evaluated in patients with current diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Patients were categorized using the Wagner grade. Mean CWIS scores were compared between categories to evaluate the scale's ability to differentiate ulcer severity (Wagner grade). There were a total of 131 consecutive patients included in the study. Except item A22 (I am confident that the wound I have will heal), the results of item-domain correlation (r ranged from .391 to .827) and small-group analysis (critical ratio, P < .05) were satisfactory. Furthermore, the Chinese CWIS also demonstrated good criterion validity when correlated with the Short Form-36 (r = .79, P < .01). After deleting item 22, exploratory factor analysis of the items confirmed the existence of 3 hypothesized domains, physical symptoms and daily living (12 items), social life (7 items), and well-being (6 items), and totally explained 57.194% of the variance. The internal consistency of all scales of the Chinese CWIS was consistently high (Cronbach's α ranged from .789 to .929). Split-half reliability was 0.748. Sensitivity was demonstrated between patients with different etiologies of diabetic foot ulcer and those with different ulcer severity (Wagner grade). From the authors' view, the lately validated Chinese CWIS has good psychometric performance and may be appropriately used to assess the health-related quality of life of Chinese patients with DFUs.
