[Nursing records: conventional versus computerized. Critical care unit].

In these recent years, electronic clinical data systems have been incorporated into the daily nursing work for the use of records in the hospitalization units. Between 2001 and 2002, the computer program that has presently become the work tool in the Critical Unit I was designed. This project aims to know the opinion of the nursing staff on the use of the computerized record versus the previous pen and paper. The surveys designed were filled out by 90.5% of the unit staff and it was found that for nursing group, the computerized record is a better work system than the pen and paper. Further, the computerized record is characterized by being more complete, by making it possible to better gather the work and by adjusting more reliably to the nursing work. In conclusion, we would say that the perception of nursing after the initiation of the clinical record computerized system is that it has improved versus the pen-paper. The perception of the time aimed at filling out the records is greater, although paradoxically, it generates more time for the patient's care according to the staff opinion. Even so, it is considered to be a good work system.

[Training in cardiopulmonary reanimation with early defibrillation to nurses from the 7th area of Madrid].

UNLABELLED: Ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachicardia without pulse are the most frequent causes of suddenly death, therefore, it was considered that training hospitals and healthcentre nurses in identifying arritms and using properly the defibrilators was necessary. It was made by practical-theoric courses. The main aim of this study has been to know does the nurses value these type of courses and its repercussion on their level of knowledge. This is a descriptive study. The course consisted of 2 parts, one theoric and other practical. The valuation was made with a practical exam (A, B o C, being C a fail) and the other was written. To obtain the certificate of the course, you need to get at least 70% in the written part, and an A or a B in the practical exam. An exam was set at the beginning of the course and other at the end of it, in order to see the improvement. To value the course, we passed one anonimous poll, for this, it was used one scale from 1-5. we have gone 8 courses with 226 pupils, and the 74.3% of them, have passed. The level of knowledges has considerably increased p < 0.0001 the level of satisfaction was 4.7 0.5, of the teachers was of 4.6 0.5 and theirs enthusiasm on the course was 4.7 0.6. For them, theirs level of theorical and practical knowledges were 2.7 0.7 and 2.5 0.7 respectively. CONCLUSIONS: 1) Nurses have had a great interest in this course. 2) After the course, the level of knowledge was increased. 3) The califications of the pupils on the teachers and the course has been high. 4) The training of nursery in RCP and early defibrillation is absolutely essential as it is shawn in their low level of theorical and practical knowledge.
