RESUMO

Foot problems are very common in the community. Studies indicate that between 18% and 63% of people have foot pain or stiffness and that foot problems have a large impact on people's functional decline and a significant detrimental impact on measures of quality of life related to health. The general objective of this research was to compare foot health in people from the rural population compared to people from the urban population and its relationship with quality of life. A case-control descriptive study was developed with a sample of 304 patients, 152 patients from the rural population and 152 patients from the urban population. Quality of life was measured through the SF-36 Health Questionnaire in its Spanish version. The rural population group had a mean age of 46.67 ± 13.69 and the urban population group 49.02 ± 18.29. Regarding the score of the lowest levels of quality of life related to foot problems, the rural population group compared to the urban population group showed: for body pain (52.21 ± 30.71 vs. 67.80 ± 25.28, p < 0.001); and for mental health (69.58 ± 18.98 vs. 64.60 ± 14.88, p < 0.006). Differences between groups were analysed using Student's t-test for independent samples, which showed statistical significance (p < 0.05). This research offers evidence that the rural population presents better levels of mental health and lower levels of bodily pain in the domains of the SF-36 Health Questionnaire comparing with the urban population.

RESUMO

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects both health of the feet, as to gait patterns. This study aimed to find out about foot problems and their impact on self-perceived quality of life and related to foot health in Parkinson's patients compared to a group of healthy subjects and to measure it with Spanish Podiatry Health Questionnaire (PHQ-S). It is about a case-control study in a sample of Parkinson's patients n = 62, healthy controls n = 62. The PHQ-S was reported, it describes perception the subject has in each of podiatric 6 dimensions consulted, assessing appreciation of health status of interviewee's feet and a self-rated the foot health score on the visual analog scale (VAS). There were statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) in the dimensions that assessed problems with walking and moving, nail trimming, concern feet state, and affectation of quality of life related foot health. Regarding the self-perception of state of their feet, Parkinson's patients perceive a worse state of health of their feet than healthy subjects. The mean value was 4.8 (SD 2.2) for Parkinson's patients and 3.8 (SD 2.3) for healthy subjects. In conclusion, patients with PD have problems in walking or moving, foot pain, difficulties in foot hygiene and in cutting for their nails, as well as the concern they suffer from deterioration in state of their feet affect them and decrease their quality of life. Podiatric problems in Parkinson's patients have a great impact in reducing quality of life related to foot health.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Chronic foot pain (CFP) is a widespread condition worldwide; however, few studies that relate CFP and foot health-related quality of life have been reported. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to describe the impact of foot health and health in general in a sample of adult people with CFP compared with a control group. STUDY DESIGN: This study was designed as a retrospective case-control study. SETTING: Podiatric section of a care center. METHODS: Two hundred adults were included in the study. Patients were divided into CFP patient (n = 100) and control groups (n = 100). All of them regularly attended a private podiatric clinic to take care of their foot health. Self-reported data and medical histories for people with and without CFP were evaluated. All findings were compared with quality of life (QoL) scores based on the Foot Health Status Questionnaire, Spanish version. RESULTS: Adults with CFP (compared to the control group) showed reductions in QoL linked to overall health and foot health in particular and were statistically significant with respect to several domains: (1) foot pain, (2) foot function, (3) general health, and (4) physical activity. These differ-ences were evaluated with a t-test for independent samples, and statistical significance was consid-ered a P value of P < 0.05. LIMITATIONS: The study was not a randomized controlled trial. Although primary outcome data were self-reported, the assessor was not blinded. CONCLUSIONS: CFP patients, regardless of gender, recorded a negative influence on QoL-related foot health that seems to be linked with the presence of this chronic condition.

RESUMO

Un conocimiento adecuado sobre la higiene de las manos por parte de los profesionales sanitarios, es el primer paso para la adherencia a cualquier programa de disminución de infección relacionada con la asistencia sanitaria. Objetivo: Evaluar el nivel de conocimientos y percepciones respecto a la higiene de manos entre los profesionales sanitarios de nuestra unidad de Nefrología, y compararlos con los de otra unidad de nuestro centro (Traumatología). Material y método: Estudio prospectivo descriptivo comparativo en 69 profesionales sanitarios. Para evaluar los conocimientos y percepciones respecto a la higiene de manos se utilizó un cuestionario de 26 ítems basado en cuestionarios desarrollados por la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Resultados: 73% utiliza regularmente preparados de base alcohólica para higiene de manos (Traumatología 96,9%, p=0,007). 94% piensa que las manos de los profesionales sanitarios cuando no están limpias son la principal vía de transmisión de gérmenes patógenos (Traumatología: 87,1%, p=NS). 75,7% piensan que el entorno/superficies del hospital es la principal fuente de gérmenes patógenos (Traumatología: 68,8%) y 16% que son los microrganismos ya presentes en el paciente (Traumatología: 25%) (p=NS). Percepciones: 89% consideran alta la repercusión de las infecciones relacionadas con la asistencia sanitaria en el desenlace de la enfermedad (Traumatología: 59,4%, p=0,009). Respecto a las medidas más efectivas para mejorar la higiene de manos destacan la formación de los profesionales sanitarios, recibir retroalimentación regularmente sobre cómo realizar la higiene de manos y que exista un preparado de base alcohólica en cada punto de atención. Conclusiones: Los profesionales sanitarios de Nefrología, al igual que los de Traumatología, en general tienen conocimientos y percepciones adecuados sobre la higiene de manos (AU)


Adequate knowledge about hand hygiene (Hh) by healthcare workers (HCW), is the first step for adhering to any decreased infection related with healthcare (IRHC) program. Aim: To evaluate Hh perceptions and knowledge of HCW in a Nephrology Unit and compare it with another unit in our hospital (Trauma). Methodology: Comparative prospective study in 69 HCW. A 26-itemquestionnaire, based on questionnaires developed by WHO to assess knowledge and perceptions of Hh in HCW was used. Results: 73% regularly use alcohol-based preparations for Hh (Trauma 96.9%, p = 0.007). 94% think that the hands of the HCW when they are not clean are the main route of transmission of pathogens (Trauma: 87.1%, p = NS).75.7% think that the environment / hospital surfaces is the main source of pathogens (Trauma: 68.8%) and16% which are the microorganisms already present in the patient (Trauma: 25%) (p = NS). Perceptions: 89%consider the impact of high IRHC in the outcome of the disease (Trauma: 59.4%, p = 0.009). Regarding the most effective measures to improve the Hh include the formation of HCW, receive regular feedback on how to make the Hh and that a alcohol-based hand rub is present a teach point of care. Conclusions: All healthcare workers have adequate knowledge and perceptions about Hh (AU)

RESUMO

Objetivo. Identificar el grado de conocimiento y aplicación de las medidas de bioseguridad en los estudiantes de Enfermería, así como conocer los tipos de accidentes biológicos durante sus prácticas clínicas. Método. Estudio descriptivo y transversal, realizado en los estudiantes de los tres cursos de Enfermería durante el mes de mayo de 2008. La información se recogió mediante un cuestionario anónimo de autocumplimentación, obteniendo una participación del 54%. Resultados. El 97% de los estudiantes manifiesta conocer las precauciones estándares y el 100% afirma que deben ser aplicadas a todos los pacientes. Sin embargo, en la práctica clínica, las medidas de bioseguridad son aplicadas parcialmente: como media, un 60,2% manifiesta realizar las normas de higiene personal, un 66,1% manifiesta el uso de elementos de protección de barrera y un 44% manifiesta el manejo de objetos cortantes o punzantes. El 32,25% de los estudiantes ha sufrido un accidente biológico, con mayor incidencia en el segundo curso, administrando una inyección (24%), extrayendo sangre con agujas tipo venojet® (18%) y reencapsulando la aguja (17%). Conclusiones. El alto grado de conocimiento que manifiestan tener los estudiantes sobre las precauciones estándares no se demuestra en la práctica clínica. Se observan importantes deficiencias en las prácticas de seguridad de los estudiantes ya que el reencapsulado de la aguja sigue siendo una de las prácticas de riesgo más frecuente(AU)


Objective. To identify the degree of knowledge and performance of bio-safety measures by nursing students and knowing the type of biological accidents suffered during their clinical practice. Method. A cross-sectional study was conducted on the students of three Nursing courses held in May of 2008. Data was collected by an anonymous self-administered questionnaire, with a return of 54%. Results. A total of 97% of students seemed to know the standard biosafety measures, and all of them (100%) stated that those measures must be applied to every patient. However, the reality of clinical practice shows that biosafety measures are only partially applied. An average of 60.2% implement the personal hygiene measures, 66.1% use physical barriers, and 44% use sharp materials safely. Results. Around 32.25% of the students have suffered some biological accident, with a greater incidence in the second year: administering injections (24%), drawing blood samples with Venojet® needles (18%) and recapping used needles (17%). Conclusions. The high level of knowledge shown by the students on standard precautions is not always shown in clinical practice. There are significant deficiencies in student safety practices: recapping of used needles continues to be one of the most common risk practices carried out(AU)

RESUMO

Nurses must confront critical potential life threatening situations daily. These are very tense situations which must be solved in a rapid, adequate manner in coordination with the rest of the professional health team. How to deal with these crises, which usually follow an established protocol, must be learned and practiced in a safe environment which provides the greatest possible guarantee of success. The best way to acquire this knowledge and skill is through a real life simulation. Nurses from various disciplines carry out their work in the Training Center for Critical Crises at the Marqués de Valdecilla University Hospital in Santander, the only center in Spain which runs this type of simulation. In 2003, this center initiated a specific training simulation for nurses whose purpose is to increase scientific-technical knowledge to the maximum and accelerate the learning of non-technical social and cognitive fundamentals within the working environment of a professional health team. The following article describes a simulation meeting these characteristics, its teaching methods, advantages, importance for professional health teams, and its repercussions on patients.

RESUMO

Enfermería debe enfrentarse diariamente a situaciones críticas con potencial compromiso vital para el paciente. Son situaciones de mucha tensión que deben solucionarse de una forma rápida y adecuada en coordinación con el resto del equipo sanitario. Esta actuación, la mayoría de las veces protocolizada, debe aprenderse y ensayarse dentro de un ambiente seguro y con la mayor garantía de éxito posible. La mejor forma de adquirir estos conocimientos y habilidades es el entrenamiento con un simulador de escala real. Enfermeras de diferentes disciplinas desarrollan su trabajo en el Centro de Entrenamiento en Situaciones Críticas del Hospital Universitario "Marqués de Valdecilla" de Santander; único centro de España dotado con este tipo de simulación. En el año 2003 se inicia la formación específica para Enfermería con el objetivo de potenciar conocimientos científico-técnicos y acelerar el aprendizaje de habilidades no técnicas (sociales y cognitivas) fundamentales en el ambiente de trabajo de un equipo sanitario. El siguiente artículo describe un simulador de estas características, su método formativo, ventajas, importancia en los equipos sanitarios y repercusión en los pacientes (AU)

RESUMO

El márketing es un ejercicio de previsión. Es además, un esfuerzo constante del equipo humano de la empresa por sembrar y cultivar una clientela. Hace algunos años, hubiera resultado difícil para muchos vislumbrar los cambios que se han estado operando en nuestro sector y su vertiginosa velocidad. ¡Y esto es sólo el comienzo! La situación caótica que se vive en algunas ciudades por saturación de la oferta, competitividad despiadada y falta de activación de la demanda, la podríamos caricaturizar con la anécdota de dos vendedores de zapatos que son enviados por sus respectivas empresas a África. Tras un primer día de trabajo, ambos remiten a sus respectivas empresas sendos informes por fax. El primero escribe: "Mercado desastroso, todo el mundo va descalzo". El segundo escribe: "Mercado fabuloso, todo el mundo va descalzo".No sobran podólogos. Faltan pacientes que acudan a nuestras consultas. Esta es, en síntesis, la problemática a la que se enfrentan en algunas ciudades, especialmente debido a la competencia desleal de intrusos, centros de estética y personas que acuden a domicilio sin titulación a realizar labores de pedicura. Con el presente trabajo, pretendemos ayudar a canalizar a todos aquellos profesionales que pretendan rentabilizar aun más su consulta y a aquellos iniciados en estas lindes facilitarles cuales podrían ser los aspectos en los que no se deben descuidar a la hora de la apertura de una consulta. A lo largo de estas páginas, nos proponemos aportar una serie de ideas y estrategias empresariales que responden a los más actuales y potentes desarrollos del márketing. Así, si un pequeño grupo de profesionales acepta y desarrolla alguna de las ideas y herramientas de gestión propuestas, formarán el grupo y la simiente del cambio que la profesión demanda. Vamos a demostrarle que este es, y por mucho tiempo, un sector fabuloso: ¡No todos van al podólogo y si embargo todos tienen alguna patología susceptible de ser tratada por él (AU)

RESUMO

El síndrome del torniquete, es una alteración poco común, que se presenta fundamentalmente en lactantes. Afecta a diversos apéndices corporales externos, como son los dedos de manos y pies o los genitales externos. El origen, es un estrangulamiento del apéndice producido por cabellos o hilos. En los dedos del pie, el estrangulamiento origina una obstrucción que afecta al sistema circulatorio, dando lugar a una semiología en función de la profundidad y el tiempo de evolución de la lesión. Los principales signos son enrojecimiento y edema, apareciendo, en estadios avanzados, una coloración cianótica, con riesgo de que en los tejidos tenga lugar una necrosis isquémica. Una exploración minuciosa, determina el origen de la alteración, mediante la localización y la extracción del agente causante. En ocasiones, cuando el agente se oculta penetrando en tejidos subcutáneos, es necesario realizar un abordaje quirúrgico para la localización y total eliminación del pelo o hilo causante del torniquete. El retraso en el diagnóstico certero, y/o de la total extracción del agente causante, puede conllevar la amputación de la porción distal del segmento afectado. (AU) - Es

RESUMO

Después de revisar todas las revistas podológicas de ámbito nacional de los últimos años, hemos notado un número insuficiente de publicaciones sobre la tan agradecida y resolutiva cirugía ungueal. Por ello nos ha parecido interesante dedicarle este trabajo. De todas las técnicas descritas, nos hemos detenido de manera especial en la Técnica de Winograf para lo cual y a través de este caso clínico pretendemos realizar un breve y descriptivo repaso de la pauta que debemos seguir (AU)
