Adaptación transcultural al español de la versión corta del Awareness of Independent Learning Inventory (AILI) / Transcultural adaptation to Spanish of the short version of the Awareness of Independent Learning Inventory (AILI)

OBJETIVO: Realizar la adaptación transcultural al español de la versión corta del Awareness of Independent Learning Inven-tory (AILI) para medir la metacognición, pieza clave en la educación. Sujetos y métodos: Inicialmente, tres traductores realizaron la traducción de inglés a español y se determinó el grado de acuerdo entre las tres versiones. Posteriormente, tres expertos corrigieron esas versiones y, con dichas correcciones un especialista, las investigadoras y un alumno colaborador construyeron un consenso. Dos traductoras hicieron la retrotraducción del consenso. Se evaluó el grado de acuerdo de cada versión retrotraducida con la versión original y se obtuvo una versión retrotraducida final. Se halló la equivalencia de la versión retrotraducida final con la versión original. Finalmente, se aplicó el consenso a una muestra piloto para determinar la consistencia interna y se midió el grado de comprensión. RESULTADOS: El grado de acuerdo entre las versiones traducidas del inglés al español fue kappa = 0,4501, 0,4150 y 0,4416. El coeficiente de Spearman entre la versión retrotraducida final y la versión original fue de 0,906. El documento de consenso fue comprensible en un 89,8% (IC 95%: 86,2-93,2%). Se obtuvo una elevada fiabilidad (alfa de Cronbach = 0,859). CONCLUSIÓN: La adaptación transcultural de la versión corta del AILI originó un instrumento final con una elevada comprensibilidad y fiabilidad

AIM: To make the transcultural adaptation to Spanish of the short version of the Awareness of Independent Learning Inventory (AILI) in order to measure the metacognition, an important piece in the education. Subjects and methods: Initially, three translators make the translation from English to Spanish and it was determined the degree of agreement between the three versions. Then, three specialists check the three versions and with those corrections another specialist, the researchers and a contributor student construct a consensus. Two translators make the re-translation from the consensus. It was evaluated the degree of agreement between every retranslated version and the original version and a final re-translated version was obtained. The equivalence between the final re-translated version and the original version was evaluated. Finally, the consensus was applied to a pilot sample to determine the internal consistent and the degree of comprehension was measured too. RESULTS: The degree of agreement between the translated versions from English to Spanish was kappa = 0.4501, 0.4150 and 0.4416. The Spearman coefficient of the final re-translated version with the original version was 0.906. The consensus document was comprehensible in 89.8% (95% CI: 86.2-93.2%). It was obtained high reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.859). CONCLUSION: Transcultural adaptation of the short version of the AILI originated a final instrument with high compressibility and reliability

Case Report: Myiasis due to Cochliomyia hominivorax and Dermatobia hominis: Clinical and Pathological Differences between Two Species in Northern Peru.

Infestations caused by fly larvae (Myiasis) have been observed in patients with risk factors and in tropical zones. The aim of our study was to describe the clinical and epidemiological aspects and the risk factors associated with the occurrence of obligatory myiasis, as well as the therapeutic approach to patients. We identified the cases of myiasis diagnosed in two referral hospitals in northern Peru from January 2012 to December 2015 and included patients in whom larval development and a compatible clinical profile were observed. Epidemiological, clinical, analytical, diagnostic, therapeutic, and follow-up data were collected from clinical files. Nine clinical cases were compatible with a diagnosis of myiasis; of these, two were pediatric patients, one was a middle-aged adult, and six were elderly patients. Four of the nine patients were male. The identified species were Dermatobia hominis and Cochliomyia hominivorax. The therapeutic approach included antiparasitic therapy with ivermectin, antibacterial, and in some cases, anti-inflammatory drugs. Dermatobia hominis and C. hominivorax are the predominant species causing myiasis in northern Peru.

La contaminación microbiológica es un problema de salud que se observa en varios países del mundo, además conlleva a grandes complicaciones intrahospitalarias. Staphylococcus coagulasa negativa son los microorganismos más frecuentes e implicados en infecciones, las especies Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus y Staphylococcus saprophyticus alcanzan el 80% de los casos.

Microbiological contamination is a health problem that is observed in several countries around the world and leads to major hospital complications. Coagulase negative Staphylococcus are the most frequent micro-organisms involved in infections, with Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus and Staphylococcus saprophyticus accounting for 80% of cases.
