La Sociedad Española de Reumatología (SER) reúne a la mayoría de los especialistas en Reumatología de España y entre los muchos servicios que ofrece a sus socios, cuenta con una Unidad de Investigación (UI). Esta unidad da apoyo metodológico en investigación clínica y epidemiológica a los socios de la SER, coordina y ejecuta proyectos de investigación, diseña y mantiene grandes bases de datos de pacientes, desarrolla proyectos de investigación cualitativa y realiza documentos de medicina basada en la evidencia (MBE). Mediante esta última actividad, la UI de la SER realiza guías de práctica clínica (GPC) y documentos de recomendaciones sobre temas relevantes para la reumatología, que cumplen con los estándares metodológicos más exigentes. El objetivo de este artículo es describir el proceso de gestión y la metodología seguidos por la UI de la SER para identificar los temas de sus documentos de MBE y como ejecuta y desarrolla sus Guías y Recomendaciones. The Spanish Society of Rheumatology (SER) brings together the majority of rheumatology specialists in Spain. One of the many services it offers its members is a Research Unit (RU-SER) that provides methodological support to SER members in clinical and epidemiological research, coordinates and carries out research projects, designs and maintains large patient databases, develops qualitative research projects and produces evidence-based medicine (EBM) documents. Through the latter activity, the RU-SER produces clinical practice guidelines and recommendations on topics relevant to rheumatology that meet the highest methodological standards. The aim of this article is to describe the management process and methodology used by the RU-SER to identify topics for EBM documents and how they are developed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There is a certain consensus in the scientific literature that film is a useful resource for teaching science. However, recent studies carried out in Spain show that this resource is still underused. In order to know in detail, the state of the question, the present systematic review is proposed. Some of the main results point to a consensus on the benefits of film in the classroom. However, few empirical studies support these claims with data. Further research on this topic is therefore needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Court preparation programs are a resource that aims to reduce the discomfort produced in child victims; nevertheless, studies on their effectiveness are scarce. The aim of this paper is to offer a review of these programs in order to know if the objectives foreseen in their design are being fulfilled and if the effect they are producing is really the expected one. To this end, a systematic search was carried out in the main databases following the PRISMA guidelines. The six included studies show that participants in preparation programs, as well as their primary caregivers and legal professionals consider that these programs reduce anxiety and facilitate victims' testimony. There is a need to adapt and implement these programs in Spain to reduce secondary victimization of children and adolescents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The incidence and severity of filicides, along with the high social upheaval and media coverage that they produce, demand research that ease the prevention of these crimes. The objective of this systematic review was to analyze the existence or not of common characteristics among filicidal males of underage children, considering several personal and contextual factors, such as degree of kinship, mental disorders, or commission of suicide afterwards. Through an exhaustive search in Web of Science, Pubmed, Scopus, and ProQuest, 8,698 results were obtained, and 23 studies were included after applying the inclusion and quality criteria. The results suggest that filicides share certain behavioral and contextual features, although some of these characteristics depend on the degree of kinship with the victim. However, more studies that analyze common or differential indicators of filicidal males are required to design specific prevention strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The professional pedagogical press has been a subject of growing interest for educational historiography. Proof of this are the numerous analytical repertories published in different countries, as well as the research that has been carried out using the educational press as an object of study or as a source for the investigation of specific topics. The aim of this contribution is to carry out a systematic review of the literature produced in Spain on different educational press titles that appeared during the Civil War and Franco's dictatorship. A bank of 686 press titles has been created from the most complete analytical repertoire published in our country (Checa, 2002) and, subsequently, a systematic search has been carried out in the main scientific databases (Scopus, Web of Science, Dialnet and TESEO). 81 research studies were recovered from 32 journals of the selected period, most of them belonging to the most recognised nationally distributed educational press titles, such as Cuadernos de Pedagogía or Revista Española de Pedagogía, which shows that most of the educational publications of this period are unexplored by historiography. This is an undoubted opportunity for the emergence of lines of research in the field of the History of Education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Analizar el papel de enfermería en el abordaje de la espondiloartritis axial (EspAax) y plantear propuestas que permitan incluir el rol de las consultas de enfermería en reumatología (CER) en la certificación de calidad de las unidades especializadas. Revisión sistemática del rol de enfermería en los sistemas de certificación de calidad en el abordaje de la EspAax, seguida de conferencia de consenso con participación de 3 enfermeras especializadas en reumatología para determinar elementos que considerar en futuras revisiones de las normas de certificación. La revisión sistemática arrojó 5 documentos relevantes. Ninguna de las publicaciones revisadas proponía estándares aplicables a la labor asistencial de enfermería en el manejo de pacientes con EspAax, aunque contemplaban actividades propias de este colectivo. Las propuestas consensuadas para incorporar el rol de las CER en las normas de certificación de las unidades monográficas de EspAax incluyeron: equipamientos y recursos básicos, organización, administración de tratamientos farmacológicos y promoción de la adherencia, programas estandarizados para EspAax, consulta telemática para control del paciente estable y promoción de la continuidad asistencial y registro de medidas de resultados informados por los pacientes. La literatura sobre estándares de calidad y normas de certificación de las unidades monográficas de EspAax es escasa y apenas refleja el papel de las CER en la provisión de una atención de calidad. Las propuestas consensuadas en este trabajo incorporarían las CER en las normas de certificación de calidad. En el futuro, la mayor presencia de CER en España debiera ir acompañada de la actualización de los estándares. To analyse the role of nursing in the approach to axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and to make proposals to include the role of rheumatology nursing consultations (RECs) in the quality certification of these specialized units. A systematic review of the nursing role in quality certification systems in the management of axSpA was conducted. Subsequently a consensus conference was held with the participation of 3 rheumatology nurses to determine elements that should be considered in future revisions of certification standards. The systematic review yielded 5 papers as relevant. None of the publications reviewed explicitly proposed standards applicable to nursing care in the management of patients with axSpA, although they contemplated the activities of this professional group. The proposals agreed upon to incorporate the role of RECs in the certification standards for axSpA monographic units included the following: basic equipment and resources, organization, administration of pharmacological treatments and promotion of adherence, standardized programmes for axSpA, telematic consultation (e-consultation) for monitoring the stable patient and promoting continuity of care and registry of patient-reported outcome measures. The literature on quality standards and certification standards for axSpA monographic units is scarce and hardly reflects the role of RECs in providing quality care. The consensus proposals in this study would incorporate RECs into quality certification standards. In the future, the increased presence of RECs in Spain should be accompanied by a review of the indicators regarding their role. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The use of Android mobile applications aimed at addressing users' psychological health is increasing. However, no review has been conducted on public Android commercial telepsychological applications in Spain. Method: A systematic search was carried out in the general applications section of Google Play Store based on 20 keywords in Spanish. Applications in Spanish or English that were relevant from the perspective of the search terms were included in the analysis. Results: Of the 1,000 applications retrieved, only 43.59% (337/773) met the inclusion criteria, of which 49.26% (171/337) were Spanish. Most of them were Self-applied treatment applications (52.96%, 29.59%, Spanish; 23.37%, English). A total of 69.44% (37.38% Spanish; 31.95% English) did not indicate the origin of the information and the academic link was anecdotal (3.25%). Conclusions: The low percentage of relevant applications, high prevalence of self-help applications, absence of references on the origin of the information, absence of academic support, and lack of certifications encouraged us to recommend caution to consumers and professionals in their adoption of these applications for the treatment of any psychological disorder.

The professional pedagogical press, as both a source and an object of study, has been a subject of growing interest to researchers in the history of education. This is shown by the numerous analytical repertoires published in different countries, as well as by the research that has been carried out, either from the pedagogical publications themselves or on specific themes. The aim of this contribution is to carry out a systematic review of the literature produced in Spain on different educational press titles that emerged in the first third of the 20th century (1900-1936). To this end, the indications of Sánchez-Meca (2010) and the PRISMA model (Moher, et al., 2009) have been followed. A bank of 809 press titles has been created from the main analytical repertoires in our country and, subsequently, a systematic search has been carried out in the main scientific databases (Scopus, Web of Science, Dialnet and TESEO). 154 researches have been recovered corresponding to 55 journals of the period studied, a large part of which belong to the major titles of the educational press, of national circulation, such as Revista de Pedagogía or the BILE, which shows that most of the educational publications of this period are unexplored by historiography.

Background: In mental health, the use of mobile applications ( apps) in assesment and intervention is being incorporated to improve the therapeutic process and outcomes. Objective: to examine the availability of mobile applications in Spanish for the evaluation and intervention in mental health with clinical and non-clinical population. Method: A search of scientific literature published during the last five years in Scopus, PubMed and PSYCinfo. Those articles that studied the functioning of a mobile application for assesment or intervention in mental health in adult population from Spain were selected. Results: Of 193 articles identified, 11 were selected for the systematic review. Results are presented according to the population attended (general population or clinical population) and within the clinical population, according to the symptoms addressed. Conclusions: Although the use of mobile applications in Spanish in the field of mental health is still limited, there are promising results that point to the need for further field to enhance the quality and efficiency of mental health care.

Objective: The aim of this research is to identify and analyze the measures for the assessment of stressful life events created/adapted for its use in Spanish adult population, published in national and international literature, with a focus on psychometric properties and its association with health measures. Methods: A systematic review was carried out to identify all instruments identified through searches of MEDLINE; ProQuest Health and Medical Complete; ProQuest Psychology Journals; PsycARTICLES; PsycINFO; Psicodoc; OpenSIGLE from inception until 31 January 2016. Two independent researchers assessed the eligibility criteria of all articles, subtracted data and assessed its psychometric properties. Results: Twelve measures, which satisfied the inclusion criteria, were selected. The measures showed a large heterogeneity. Most of them did not include any information on its psychometric properties or needed to provide further data, since a few of them assessed its test-retest stability and/or internal structure. The questionnaires created or adapted by González de Rivera y Morena (1983), Sandín y Chorot (1987), Fernández y Mielgo (1992), Gracia y Flerrero (2004), and Motrico et al. (2013) showed significant associations with health variables. Discussion: Further research is needed to clarify the association of these instruments with mental and physical health measures, which would facilitate its clinical application. These results are very useful in order to select a measure for the assessment of stressful life events in clinical practice and research in Spain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Spain, which has one of the largest migrant populations in Europe, has committed to eliminating the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of HCV among migrant groups in Spain, a country of 46 million people, with an estimated HCV-antibody prevalence of 1.7%., Methods: Studies on HCV and migration in Spain were identified by systematically searching three databases from the first records to 30 November 2017, and consulting experts at the Ministry of Health and in the 17 Spanish autonomous communities. A meta-analysis was conducted to determine pooled HCV prevalence for the general migrant population. Prevalences were also calculated for high-risk migrant populations and populations who had undergone hospital screening, stratified by region of origin., Results: Out of 243 studies identified, 26 met the eligibility criteria. The meta-analysis of the general migrant population found HCV antibody prevalence to be 1.6%. Migrants originating from European countries, including those at high or moderate risk for HCV, had the highest pooled prevalence (7.1%). In the general migrant population, prevalence was highest among sub-Saharan African migrants (3.1%) and lowest among Latin American migrants (0.2%)., Conclusion: Based on the limited available data, the prevalence among the general migrant population was found to be the same as the general Spanish population. Further research is needed to more accurately determine HCV prevalence for the overall migrant population and specific migrant subpopulations with a higher risk in the country as a whole and in each of Spain's 17 autonomous communities., (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier España, S.L.U. and Sociedad Española de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica.

Urgent readmissions have a major impact on outcomes in patient health and healthcare costs. The associated risk factors have generally been infrequently studied. The main objective of the present work is to identify pre- and perioperative determinants of readmission; the secondary aim was to determine readmission rate, identification of readmission diagnoses, and impact of readmissions on survival rates in related analytical studies. The review was performed through a systematic search in the main bibliographic databases. In the end, 19 papers met the selection criteria. The main risk factors were: sociodemographic patient variables; comorbidities; type of resection; postoperative complications; long stay. Despite the great variability in the published studies, all highlight the importance of reducing readmission rates because of the significant impact on patients and the healthcare system., (Copyright © 2018 AEC.
