Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the presence of Good Humanization Practices in the care of patients with rare diseases in Hospital Pharmacy Services and to identify the strengths and prevalent areas for improvement in the humanization of healthcare. METHODS Online questionnaire structured in two parts was developed using Google Form®. The first one was designed to collect identifying data and the second one included questions related to compliance with the 61 standards of the Manual of Good Humanization Practices in the healthcare of patients with rare diseases in Hospital Pharmacy Services. Access to the questionnaire was sent by email to the Heads of the Hospital Pharmacy Service of 18 hospitals. The study period was from October 2021 to October 2022. The analyzed variables were the number of criteria that were considered met, total compliance (percentage of criteria met), by strategic line and by type or level of standard, globally and grouped by regions of Spain. RESULTS 18 Hospital Pharmacy Services were included. The overall mean of standards met was 31.1 (95% CI: 24.8-37.6) and mean total compliance was 52.1% (95% CI: 44.4-59.7). The mean compliance by strategic line was line 1 Humanization culture: 46.5% (95% CI: 35.3-57.7), line 2 Patient empowerment: 47.4% (95% CI: 37.1- 57.8), line 3 Professional care: 49.7% (95% CI: 39.8-59.1), line 4 Physical spaces and comfort: 55.6% (95% CI: 46.3-64.8) and line 5 Organization of healthcare: 63.8% (95% CI: 55.8-71.9). CONCLUSION The average compliance with the standards is between 40 and 60%, which indicates that humanization is present in the Hospital Pharmacy Services, but there is a wide margin for improvement. The main strength in the humanization of Hospital Pharmacy Services is a patient-centered care organization, and the area with the greatest room for improvement is the culture of humanization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Design, construction and validation of a self-completion test that allows the Family Physician (FP) to assess the extent to which he/she integrates person-centred care (PCC) in his/her clinical practice. DESIGN Qualitative. Questionnaire design. LOCATION Primary care. PARTICIPANTS Two hundred and fourteen family and community medicine physicians and residents, from 62 of the 80 health centres in the autonomous community of Murcia (Spain). METHODS Construction of a questionnaire from a bank of 873 items from a systematic review and a Delphi study. Review by PCC panel of experts (8). Cognitive pretest with 10 FP. Doctors from 62 health centres were invited to participate. With the responses we measured reliability, validity and feasibility. RESULTS The final questionnaire contains 37 items. We measured reliability through internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha of .915. For construct validity, the appropriate Bartlett's test of sphericity and the Kaiser-Mayer-Olkin measure of .889 allowed us to carry out a factor analysis with the extraction of nine factors (Kaiser's rule) with five main factors (Scree test) whose items coincide with the dimensions proposed by the experts. To assess its feasibility we considered the response rate of 31.15%, the response time of 17minutes 23seconds and only .9% of respondents considered the questionnaire long or complex. CONCLUSIONS The ACPAPS questionnaire is a reliable, valid and feasible tool to assess PCC in FM, which has multiple and far-reaching applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We aim to adapt the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurements standard set for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients to the Spanish setting and supplement it with those variables agreed upon through initiatives proposed by the Spanish Society of Nephrologists (S.E.N.). MATERIAL AND METHODS The working group defined a first standard set of variables based on a literature review. The S.E.N. members then assessed the suitability of each variable for inclusion (Consensus≥75%). A second draft of the standard set was generated and evaluated by the Patient advocacy group Federación Nacional de Asociaciones para la Lucha Contra las Enfermedades del Riñón (ALCER). Lastly, the working group established the final standard set of variables (Consensus≥75%). RESULTS The standard set targets patients with very high-risk CKD (G3a/A3 and G3b/A2-G5) in pre-end-stage kidney disease (pre-ESKD), hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD), kidney transplantation (KT) or conservative care (CC). The essential follow-up variables agreed for all patients (All) were patient survival, hospitalizations, cardiovascular events, smoking status, health-related quality of life, pain, fatigue, physical function, daily activities, depression, renal function and hemoglobin. Additionally, it was agreed to collect PD survival (in PD patients), peritonitis (PD), infection/bacteremia (PD, HD, KT), vascular access type (HD), vascular access survival (HD), acute rejection (KT), post-transplant cancer (KT), albuminuria (KT) and kidney allograft survival (KT). The optional variables agreed were phosphorus (All), potassium (All), diabetes control (All with diabetes), and albuminuria (pre-ESKD). CONCLUSIONS This standard set may constitute a highly efficient tool allowing the evaluation of patient outcomes and helping to define strategies to enhance CKD patients' quality of care in the Spanish healthcare system.

Objetivo Explorar las percepciones de los profesionales sanitarios sobre las características de la atención sanitaria a pacientes con multimorbilidad. Diseño Estudio cualitativo de trayectoria fenomenológica realizado entre enero y septiembre de 2015 mediante 3 entrevistas grupales (grupos de discusión) y 15 individuales. Emplazamiento Servicio Aragonés de Salud. Participantes Profesionales médicos y de enfermería del Servicio Aragonés de Salud pertenecientes a distintos servicios: Medicina Interna, Atención Primaria, Urgencias y Gestión. También se incluyó un farmacéutico. Métodos Se realizó un muestreo intencional no probabilístico que permitiese configurar las unidades muestrales buscando criterios de representatividad del discurso, permitiendo conocer e interpretar el fenómeno estudiado en profundidad, en sus diferentes visiones. Se entrevistó a profesionales sanitarios con perfiles diferentes que conociesen en profundidad la atención a pacientes con multimorbilidad. Las entrevistas fueron grabadas, transcritas literalmente e interpretadas, mediante el análisis social del discurso. Resultados Se identifica una cultura profesional orientada a la atención de enfermedades individuales, falta de coordinación entre especialidades, pacientes sometidos a numerosas prescripciones, Guías de Práctica Clínica y formación especialmente centradas en enfermedades individuales. Conclusiones Tanto la cultura profesional como la organización del sistema sanitario se encuentran orientadas a la atención de enfermedades individuales, lo que redunda en dificultades para ofrecer una atención más integral a los pacientes con multimorbilidad.

Abstract
The article aims to describe the Mental Health Recovery Model, the Tidal Model in Mental Health Recovery and their relevance to implementation within the practice of Colombian nursing. Some concepts about mental health recovery and the theoretical model proposed by Phil Barker are presented in the text, analysing these with the challenges of the nursing professional to improve mental health care, taking into account the current context of care practice. The principles proposed with the Recovery model help to focus care on the person and not on the symptomatology of the illness, understanding that the person has different dimensions which make it possible for him/her to explore his/her own path to recovery. We can conclude that, through the theory, we can develop interventions and nursing activities that contribute to improving the quality of life of people who have been diagnosed with a mental illness, modifying the traditional healthcare models.

Abstract
Medical schools play a central role in the compilation and development of professional knowledge, which is why they have privileges and resources that are justified only to the extent that they use them to serve the community, particularly those who are most in need. Medical schools social accountability focuses on the training, healthcare provision and research services they offer. The principles of medical education and the structure proposed by the Flexner Report are in crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and redefinition of the social contract is required. This document offers a proposal for medical schools social accountability that includes anticipation of the needs of the community, patient-centered inter-professional care, training of people in the area of health and collaboration between institutions. It highlights the need for a conscious institution that finds new training spaces other than hospitals, where each patient is cared for in a personalized way, with inter-professional training models that consider the student as a person who takes care of him/herself in open collaboration with organizations. Leaders must act now because it is their social accountability and because it is the right thing to do.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Organisational capacity in terms of resources and care circuits to shorten response times in new stroke cases is key to obtaining positive outcomes. This study compares therapeutic approaches and treatment outcomes between traditional care centres (with stroke teams and no stroke unit) and centres with stroke units. METHODS We conducted a prospective, quasi-experimental study (without randomisation of the units analysed) to draw comparisons between 2 centres with stroke units and 4 centres providing traditional care through the neurology department, analysing a selection of agreed indicators for monitoring quality of stroke care. A total of 225 patients participated in the study. In addition, self-administered questionnaires were used to collect patients' evaluations of the service and healthcare received. RESULTS Centres with stroke units showed shorter response times after symptom onset, both in the time taken to arrive at the centre and in the time elapsed from patient's arrival at the hospital to diagnostic imaging. Hospitals with stroke units had greater capacity to respond through the application of intravenous thrombolysis than centres delivering traditional neurological care. CONCLUSION Centres with stroke units showed a better fit to the reference standards for stroke response time, as calculated in the Quick study, than centres providing traditional care through the neurology department.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop and test a culturally adapted core set of questions to measure patients' experience after in-patient care. MATERIAL AND METHODS Following the methodology recommended by international guides, a basic set of patient experience questions, selected from Picker Institute Europe questionnaires (originally in English), was translated to Spanish and Catalan. Acceptability, construct validity and reliability of the adapted questionnaire were assessed via a cross-sectional validation study. The inclusion criteria were patients aged >18 years, discharged within one week to one month prior to questionnaire sending and whose email was available. Day cases, emergency department patients and deaths were excluded. Invitations were sent by email (N=876) and questionnaire was fulfilled through an online platform. An automatic reminder was sent 5 days later to non-respondents. RESULTS A questionnaire, in Spanish and Catalan, with adequate conceptual and linguistic equivalence was obtained. Response rate was 44.4% (389 responses). The correlation matrix was factorable. Four factors were extracted with Parallel Analysis, which explained 43% of the total variance. First factor: information and communication received during discharge. Second factor: low sensitivity attitudes of professionals. Third factor: assessment of communication of medical and nursing staff. Fourth factor: global items. The value of the Cronbach alpha was 0.84, showing a high internal consistency. CONCLUSIONS The obtained experience patient questionnaire, in Spanish and Catalan, shows good results in the psychometric properties evaluated and could be a useful tool to identify opportunities for health care improvement in our context. Email could become a feasible tool for greater patient participation in everything that concerns his health.

Abstract
La multimorbilidad, definida como la presencia de dos o más enfermedades crónicas en un mismo individuo, conlleva consecuencias negativas para la persona e importantes retos para los sistemas sanitarios. En atención primaria, donde recae esencialmente la atención de este grupo de pacientes, la consulta es más compleja que la de un paciente con una única enfermedad debido, entre otros, al hecho de tener que manejar mayor cantidad de información clínica, disponer de poca evidencia científica para abordar la multimorbilidad, y tener que coordinar la labor de múltiples profesionales para garantizar la continuidad asistencial. Además, para poder implementar correctamente los planes de tratamiento en estos pacientes es necesario un proceso de toma de decisiones compartida médico-paciente. Entre las distintas herramientas disponibles para apoyar dicho proceso, recientemente se ha desarrollado una dirigida específicamente a pacientes con multimorbilidad en atención primaria y que se describe en el presente artículo: los principios Ariadne.

Abstract
AIM To understand the experiences of patients and caregivers living with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the impact of their symptoms and care needs arising from a functional, emotional, and social context. DESIGN Qualitative study. Phenomenological perspective. Data were collected during 2013-2015. SETTING Primary, secondary and intermediate care. Osona (Barcelona). PARTICIPANTS The study included 10 Primary Care patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, their respective 10 caregivers, and 19 primary care professionals, as well as 2 lung specialists, 2 palliative care professionals involved in their care, and one clinical psychologist. METHOD Theoretical sampling. Semi-structured and in-depth interviews with patients, caregivers, and professionals (47 interviews). RESULTS The emergent topics identified in patients and caregivers interviews refer to dyspnoea, the predominant symptom without effective treatment and with a major impact on patients and caregivers lives. A symptom with great functional, emotional and social repercussions to which they need to adapt in order to survive. CONCLUSIONS Beyond pharmacological measures to control respiratory symptoms, proper care of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, requires understanding of suffering, the losses and limitations that it causes in their lives and those of their caregivers. A palliative, holistic and closer approach to their real experiences, together with an empowerment to adapt to debilitating symptoms, could contribute to a better life in the end-stages of the disease.
