El Conocimiento sobre la enfermedad del Alzheimer en personas cuidadoras familiares. Revisión de la literatura.
No full textEl incremento en la esperanza de vida ha dado lugar a un crecimiento de la población longeva. Esto conlleva a un aumento de enfermedades como la demencia, siendo la más común el Alzheimer. El alzheimer provoca dependencia en las personas que las padece siendo cuidadas por un cuidador familiar que puede no estar capacitado ni tenga el suficiente conocimiento para ello. El objetivo de éste trabajo consiste en identificar el nivel de conocimiento que tienen los cuidadores familiares de personas con Alzheimer. Para la realización del trabajo se llevó a cabo una búsqueda bibliográfica siendo seleccionados 10 estudios. Los resultados obtenidos han sido homogéneos, la mayoría de los estudios muestran desconocimientos en distintos aspectos de la enfermedad y su cuidado. Las principales conclusiones han sido: Escasez de conocimiento en general. Algunas de las áreas más deficitarias son la evolución, tratamiento, cuidados y factores de riesgo. Los cuestionarios o escalas recogen mayor información sobre el nivel de conocimiento.The increase in life expectancy has led to a long-lived population growth. This leads to an increase in diseases such as dementia, the most common being Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's causes dependence on the people who suffer from them being cared for by a family caregiver who may not be trained or have suffícient knowledge to do so. The aim of this study is to identify the level of knowledge of family caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease. For the accomplishment of the work a bibliographical search was carried out being selected 10 studies. The results obtained were homogeneous, most of the studies show lack of knowledge about different aspects of the disease and its care. The main conclusions have been: Shortages of knowledge in general. Some of the most deficient areas are the evolution, treatment, care and risk factors. The questionnaires or scales collect more information on the level of knowledge
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
ELABORACIÓN Y VALIDACIÓN PSICOMÉTRICA DE UNA ESCALA DE CONOCIMIENTOS SOBRE LA ENFERMEDAD DE ALZHEIMER Y OTRAS DEMENCIAS. APLICACIÓN EN PROFESIONALES DE RESIDENCIAS DE MAYORES Y EN ESTUDIANTES DE ENFEMERÍA
No full textObjetivos: Elaborar y establecer las propiedades psicométricas de una escala para medir el conocimiento sobre los cuidados a personas con enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA) y otras demencias.
Metodología: Cuatro fases: 1) Identificación y evaluación de calidad de Guías de práctica clínica sobre Enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA); 2) Elaboración de una escala de conocimientos sobre cuidados a personas con EA y validación de contenido. 3) Evaluación psicométrica de la escala en 2 muestras (personal de enfermería y estudiantes). 4) Medición de conocimientos en personal de Residencias de Mayores de Jaén, y en estudiantes de Grado de Enfermería de la Universidad de Jaén
Resultados: La versión 1 de la escala con 30 ítems tuvo buena validez de contenido. Tras su administración a dos muestras (Profesionales:361; y estudiantes:297) queda una versión final de 23 ítems con adecuadas propiedades psicométricas: fiabilidad y validez.
Conclusión: La escala UJA Alzheimer-Care es un instrumento fiable y valido para medir conocimiento sobre cuidados de la enfermedad de Alzheimer aplicable a profesionales de las residencias de mayores y a estudiantes de enfermería.Aim: To develop and establish the psychometric properties of a scale aimed to measure knowledge on caring for people with Alzheimer disease and dementia.
Methods: Four phases: 1) Identification and quality assessment of clinical guidelines about Alzheimer disease (AD). 2) Construction of a scale about knowledge on the care for people with AD and content validation. 3) Psychometric evaluation of the scale using 2 samples (nursing staff and students). 4) Measurement of the level of knowledge in Nursing homes staff in Jaén and in undergraduate nursing students at the University of Jaén.
Results: The version 1 of this scale, with 30 items, showed good content validity. After the study with the 2 samples (nursing staff N= 361; Students N= 297) the 23-items final version of the scale have adequate psychometric properties, both reliability and validity.
Conclusion: The UJA Alzheimer-Care scale is a reliable and valid instrument aimed to measure knowledge on Alzheimer disease care; it can be applied both to Nursing Homes staff and to nursing students.Tesis Univ. Jaén. Departamento de Enfermería. Leída el 26 de mayo de 2017
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
