    Las competencias transversales en la Universidad: propiedades psicométricas de un cuestionario
    (2018) Martínez Clares, Pilar; González Morga, Natalia; Métodos de Investigación y Diagnóstico en Educación
    Una de las exigencias que plantea la sociedad a la universidad es potenciar y facilitar la inserción socio-laboral de los futuros egresados. Conscientes de esta realidad, este trabajo pretende elaborar un instrumento que permita calibrar la adecuación entre la formación universitaria y los requerimientos competencia les del mercado laboral a través del estudio de la formación en Competencias Transversales (CT) en las aulas universitarias. Para ello, se plantea analizar las características psicométricas del cuestionario CECTGRA diseñado ad hoc y dirigido a valorar el desarrollo y dominio de las CT, así como su relevancia para el desarrollo profesional del egresado. Tras el diseño y aplicación del instrumento de recogida de información a una muestra de 1062 estudiantes de último año de Grado de las distintas ramas de conocimiento, se analiza la fiabilidad y se obtienen las evidencias de validez basadas en el contenido y en la estructura interna del cuestionario mediante el método de agregados individua les y los Modelos de Ecuaciones Estructurales con la aplicación del programa AMOS. Los análisis muestran unos resultados satisfactorios en relación a la fiabilidad de la escala global (desarrollo, α=.927; dominio, α=.881, y relevancia, α=.917) y de las subescalas resultantes (competencias instrumentales, α=.785, α=.718 y α=.819; competencias personales, α=.825, α=.774 y α=.743; competencias sistémicas, α=.899, α=.881 y α=.864 respectivamente para desarrollo, dominio y relevancia). Asimismo, una vez obtenidas las evidencias de validez sobre la estructura interna del cuestionario a través del Análisis Factorial Con firmatorio (CFI=.947; IFI=.947; NFI=.938 y RMSEA=.072) se constata que se trata de un instrumento que reúne las especificaciones técnicas exigidas para ser considerado una herramienta válida y fiable.

    Determinants of evidence implementation by nurses. #Evidencer model for the use of Evidence-Based Practice (#EvidencerMUSEBP): A structural equation model.
    (2024-03) Ruzafa-Martinez, Maria; Fernández-Salazar, Serafin; Leal-Costa, César; Ramos-Morcillo, Antonio Jesús; Enfermería
    Existing studies have identified specific factors influencing some dimensions of Evidence based Practice (EBP) competence and use. However, the way these factors interact still needs to be clarified. The purpose of the study was to test a model based on the Determinant Frameworks that explain the relationships and the direct pathways between the characteristics of the nurses, the context, and the implementation strategies, and the dimensions of EBP competence, attitude, knowledge, skills, and use of EBP. A cross-sectional study was carried out in Spain during January and February 2020, involving 2,370 nurses employed in public health centers across all autonomous communities within the National Health System. An online survey was administered to gather data, addressing various topics related to the nurses' characteristics, the context in which they worked, the implementation strategy, and their competence in evidence-based practice (EBP). As depicted in the conceptual framework, a structural equation model was constructed to test the hypothesized relationships among key study variables. The model obtained showed a good fit (χ2/df = 3.20, p < 0.001; RMSEA = 0.030 [90% CI 0.025, 0.036]; CFI = 0.989; GFI = 0.990; TLI = 0.983). The context, more specifically, the dimensions of nurse participation in the center´s affairs, nursing foundations for quality of care, nurse manager ability leadership and support of nurses, and implementation strategy have a direct and positive effect on EBP use. Training in EBP, reading scientific articles, and having a doctorate are associated with higher competence and knowledge in EBP. The final fit shows the #Evidencer model for the use of EBP (#EvidencerMUSEBP) with two main components: the contextual and strategic factors that influence the implementation of EBP and the characteristics of the professionals, such as their training and reading of articles, which have an impact on EBP competence. This model could guide healthcare organizations in proposing comprehensive interventions to improve EBP use and the competency of nurses.
