Objective: To describe and compare the development of Master of Science in Nursing graduates’ research utilization and improvement of knowledge, one to three years after graduation, and to describe their beliefs, abilities and implementation regarding evidence-based practice in the workplace.Methods: Sixty-five Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) graduates, associated with an academic cohort, were invited to participate in a three-year retrospective follow-up study. Forty-five MSN graduates replied, providing a response rate of 69.23%. A questionnaire of four areas, consisting of the customary cohort questionnaire combined with the EBP Belief scale and the EBP Implementation scale, was sent to the participants using SurveyMonkey®.Results: An overall increased development in MSN graduates’ research utilization and knowledge improvement in all parameters was found from one to three years after graduation, along with greater knowledge of, and a stronger belief in the value of, evidence-based practice. However, a strong decrease in allocated time for research was found, leading to a very limited implementation of evidence-based practice by the MSN graduates.Conclusions: The study ends with a question about whether time is still an issue – even for academic nurses, who are educated and employed to implement evidence-based practice. If the barriers to nursing research are not taken seriously by nursing management then the extent of implementation of evidence-based practice and the improvement of quality in patient care and trajectories will continue to be very limited.

Historically, the majority of nurses have been employed by hospitals. However, the changing landscape of health care has seen a shift to other areas of practice. Nursing graduates must be prepared to work collaboratively with a shared vision that is patient-centered and team-oriented. To better prepare students for collaborative practice, a School of Nursing developed a course for senior level nursing students that included a clinical experience within a student-run free clinic. Nursing students were able to enhance clinic services by providing health screening, patient navigation, patient education, health coaching, and patient follow-up.

Para Determinar

El principal objetivo de este trabajo es describir las características de los estudiantes durante su formación universitaria y el mercado laboral en el que incursionan después de egresar. Como cualquier otro trabajo de seguimiento a egresados, este muestra las cualidades personales de los estudiantes: su edad, origen social y escolaridad de los padres, para conocer si estos influyeron o no en el desempeño académico de sus hijos. Asimismo se exponen los resultados del mercado laboral en el que se desenvuelven los padres para determinar si influyó en los estudiantes al momento de elegir la carrera de enfermería o si los impulsó hacia el éxito laboral como egresados. La realización de estudios de seguimiento a egresados son exigidos por todos los organismos acreditadores nacionales y extranjeros (Preciado et al., 2012), puesto que es importante conocer si los estudiantes recibieron buena formación, o si han tenido carencias y en cuáles áreas para poder corregirlas. Este tipo de trabajos también es requerido porque es muy importante conocer si el mercado laboral recibe y aprovecha los profesionistas del área de la salud, o si las universidades están dando buen servicio a las regiones. En el caso del Centro Universitario de Los Altos importa saber si los egresados de enfermería están trabajando, si están utilizando sus conocimientos y si se han incorporado al mercado laboral local, ya que una de las razones de ser de dicho Centro es precisamente atender adecuadamente las demandas de su entorno.

AbstractNeurobiology-based interventions for mental diseases and searches for useful biomarkers of treatment response have largely failed. Clinical trials should assess interventions related to environmental and social stressors, with long-term follow-up; social rather than biological endpoints; personalized outcomes; and suitable cluster, adaptive, and n-of-1 designs. Labor, education, financial, and other social/political decisions should be evaluated for their impacts on mental disease.

AbstractA long-term photographic search programme for minor planets was begun at the Kleť Observatory at the end of seventies using a 0.63-m Maksutov telescope, but with insufficient respect for long-arc follow-up astrometry. More than two thousand provisional designations were given to new Kleť discoveries. Since 1993 targeted follow-up astrometry of Kleť candidates has been performed with a 0.57-m reflector equipped with a CCD camera, and reliable orbits for many previous Kleť discoveries have been determined. The photographic programme results in more than 350 numbered minor planets credited to Kleť, one of the world's most prolific discovery sites. Nearly 50 per cent of them were numbered as a consequence of CCD follow-up observations since 1994.This brief summary describes the results of this Kleť photographic minor planet survey between 1977 and 1996. The majority of the Kleť photographic discoveries are main belt asteroids, but two Amor type asteroids and one Trojan have been found.

During a project in which regenerative changes were studied in autotransplanted canine kidneys, intranuclear crystals were seen in a small number of tubular epithelial cells. These crystalline structures were seen in the control specimens and also in regenerating specimens; the main differences being in size and number of them. The control specimens showed a few tubular epithelial cell nuclei almost completely occupied by large crystals that were not membrane bound. Subsequent follow-up biopsies of the same kidneys contained similar intranuclear crystals but of a much smaller size. Some of these nuclei contained several small crystals. The small crystals occurred at one week following transplantation and were seen even four weeks following transplantation. As time passed, the small crystals appeared to fuse to form larger crystals.
