Con el fin de coordinar las actividades docentes de cada una de las asignaturas del master y dentro del Proyecto de Redes de Investigacion en Docencia Universitaria 2014-2015, se ha creado una red formada por todos los profesores coordinadores de las asignaturas que constituyen el plan de estudios y que han participado en la realizacion de la memoria de dicho master. En esta red se pretende la coordinacion entre todas las asignaturas para organizar y desarrollar sus actividades con el fin de conseguir una buena distribucion de la carga docente y un mejor aprovechamiento por parte del alumno de la docencia recibida. Por otra parte, dado que en este master participan varias empresas del sector optico y clinicas oftalmologicas es necesario determinar que actividades propuestas por las empresas y clinicas se va...

Con el fin de unificar criterios entre los participantes en la evaluacion y dejar evidencia de estos, en el curso anterior se implemento en esta red dos documentos de evaluacion que fueron aplicados en el curso 2015/16 y 16/17. El objetivo propuesto en el actual curso es conocer la valoracion que hacen de estos documentos de rubrica el profesorado que los utiliza. Para ello se ha disenado un cuestionario ad-hoc, contando con la participacion de un grupo de profesores del Grado en Enfermeria, todos ellos tutores del TFG y usuarios de las rubricas disenadas para la evaluacion de dicha asignatura. Tras el analisis de los resultados obtenidos, podemos concluir que la rubrica es considerada practicamente por todos sus usuarios como util o mu...

METHOD We performed a descriptive, cross-sectional, comparative study of diabetes nurses (DN) in SDC and PC in Catalonia. The sample was obtained from all the DN in SDC and a randomised cluster sample of DN in PC. The questionnaire of the Study of European Nurses in Diabetes (SEND) validated in Spanish was used. RESULTS A total of 287 questionnaires were analysed (24.3% SDC and 75.6% PC). More training in diabetes through masters, postgraduate courses and continuing education was observed in SDC (p<0.001) as well as structured, written, education programmes and the combination of individual and group education strategies (p<0.05). The roles of educator, consultant, researcher, manager, liaison or collaborator and innovator and the telematic follow-up of patients was also more developed in SDC (p<0.05). The grade of work satisfaction was elevated in both groups. CONCLUSIONS (1) Nursing professionals in SDC assume more roles of specialised clinical nursing and also have more training in diabetes and therapeutic education than PC professionals. (2) Professionals in SDC work with a greater proportion of structured diabetes therapeutic education programmes although this should improve in both settings. According to the results obtained and the scientific evidence currently available, the training of DN working in the care of people with diabetes should be accredited in order to increase the use of structured programmes and investigation by DNs in both healthcare settings.

The study aims are to compare among countries, the use of epidemiologic method in articles published in scientific journals, and to determine the extent to which this research has direct funding. Methods: Cross-sectional study including all original papers published during 1994 in Medicina Clinica [(Med Clin (Barc)], Revista Clinica Española (Rev Clin Esp), The Lancet (Lancet) and New England Journal of Medicine (N Engl J Med). They were classified according to epidemiological design and we verified the financial support mention. Results: 594 papers were included. Epidemiological studies without control group prevailed in Spanish journals. The most common designs were descriptive studies in Med Clin (Barc), with 45.5%, and clinical series in Rev Clin Esp, with 41.7%. The 33.6% of original papers published in Lancet and 28.4% of N England J Med were randomized trials. We found information about financial support in 73.7% of papers published in Lancet, in 77.4% of N Engl J Med, in 23.1% of Med Clin (Barc) papers and not one in the Rev Clin Esp studies. Conclusions: In Spanish clinical journals the use of epidemiological methods with control group is limited and direct financial support unusual. Wherefore these studies have a limited applicability.
