Detection of temporal clusters of health care-associated infections or colonizations with Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
2016
International audience; We investigated temporal clusters of Pseudomonas aeruginosa cases between 2005 and 2014 in 1 French university hospital, overall and by ward, using the Kulldorff method. Clusters of positive water samples were also investigated at the whole hospital level. Our results suggest that water outlets are not closely involved in the occurrence of clusters of P aeruginosa cases.

Le bien-être alimentaire du quotidien à l’institution hospitalière : de nouveaux enjeux normatifs.
2020
Cet article interroge la façon dont les questions sanitaires jouent sur les normes en matière de santé. Dans une perspective diachronique et culturellement située, l’objectif de l’article sera, dans un premier temps, de montrer que le bien-être est une valeur évolutive aux prismes des attentes sociétales. D’un bien-être aux contours fermés et délimités, les enjeux sociaux et la forte médiatisation de la nutrition en font une valeur qui évolue, dont la qualification reste toujours difficile à saisir. Dans un second temps, l’article propose la construction d’un outil de mesure du bien-être alimentaire en contexte hospitalier afin d’intégrer des éléments subjectifs et actuels autour des attent…
Altruistic leadership and affiliative humor's role on service innovation: Lessons from Spanish public hospitals.
2018
Despite literature identifies aspects that might promote innovation, the relationship between the leadership style and nurses' innovative behavior still remains unclear, and little research has provided evidence of this. To help advance in knowledge of effects of leadership on nurses' innovative behavior, we researched the effect of altruistic leadership on nurses' innovative behavior. In addition, the mediating role of affiliative humor in the relationship between altruistic leadership and nurses' innovative behavior was examined. Questionnaire survey method was followed with a sample of 324 nurses working in public hospitals in Spain. We used structural equation models, to check the resea…
Evaluación participativa del territorio con enfoque de equidad: adaptación y validación de la Place Standard al contexto español
2022
OBJECTIVE Translation and cross-cultural adaptation to the Spanish context of the Place Standard tool to undertake participatory evaluations in place-based communities. METHOD A back-translation method was used to obtain an adapted version of the original Place Standard tool. The translated version was reviewed by a multidisciplinary committee of experts and validated using the Delphi method. RESULTS The final version of the adapted Place Standards tool (Entornos de Vida in Spanish) consists of 14 dimensions and 99 items. 21% of the items presented semantic difficulties during the translation. Total consensus through the Delphi panel was reached on 72% of the items. The analysis resulted in…
Age as a Risk Factor for Burnout Syndrome in Nursing Professionals: A Meta-Analytic Study
2016
Although past research has highlighted the possibility of a direct relationship between the age of nursing professionals and burnout syndrome, results have been far from conclusive. The aim of this study was to conduct a wider analysis of the influence of age on the three dimensions of burnout syndrome (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment) in nurses. We performed a meta-analysis of 51 publications extracted from health sciences and psychology databases that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. There were 47 reports of information on emotional exhaustion in 50 samples, 39 reports on depersonalization for 42 samples, and 31 reports on personal accomplishment in 3…
Double validation of translated questionnaires in international studies
2018
Background Study questionnaires developed in one country can be translated and used for similar studies in other countries. The main problem of this process is that people speaking different languages can understand the meaning of some questions differently due to disparate mentalities and backgrounds. To avoid a misunderstanding, to perform correct conclusions in accordance to the mentality of each country, and to permit the comparison of results in different countries, the intellectual validation of questionnaires is widely used. The main problem of such a validation is its qualitative nature that can be biased by the subjective approach of the investigator. Therefore, there is a necessit…
A systematic review of immersive virtual reality applications for higher education: Design elements, lessons learned, and research agenda
2019
Abstract Researchers have explored the benefits and applications of virtual reality (VR) in different scenarios. VR possesses much potential and its application in education has seen much research interest lately. However, little systematic work currently exists on how researchers have applied immersive VR for higher education purposes that considers the usage of both high-end and budget head-mounted displays (HMDs). Hence, we propose using systematic mapping to identify design elements of existing research dedicated to the application of VR in higher education. The reviewed articles were acquired by extracting key information from documents indexed in four scientific digital libraries, whi…
