Article Synopsis
- Multimorbidity (MM) is a common issue that highlights gaps in healthcare professionals' training, prompting the development of the eMULTIPAP course as a potential solution.
- This course is part of a larger research project and employs problem-based learning and constructivist principles, tested through a clinical trial involving general practitioners and their patients.
- Results indicate that the eMULTIPAP course significantly improves GPs' knowledge and motivation to address MM in practice, as well as enhancing medication appropriateness over a 12-month period.
Objectives: To evaluate the impact of a massive online open course (MOOC) design on the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents, to determine specific study areas with better learning outcomes and to identify weak points.
Methods: A pre- and post-intervention study in the context of a training course on infectious diseases aimed at health professionals. We designed a questionnaire with 30 questions related to the management of infectious diseases in different clinical situations.
Background: The different incidence rates of, and risk factors for, depression in different countries argue for the need to have a specific risk algorithm for each country or a supranational risk algorithm. We aimed to develop and validate a predictD-Spain risk algorithm (PSRA) for the onset of major depression and to compare the performance of the PSRA with the predictD-Europe risk algorithm (PERA) in Spanish primary care.
Method: A prospective cohort study with evaluations at baseline, 6 and 12 months.
Background: Few data exist on the psychosocial factors associated with attrition in longitudinal surveys. This study was undertaken to determine psychosocial and sociodemographic predictors of attrition from a longitudinal study of the onset and persistence of episodes of major depression in primary care.
Methods: A systematic random sample of general practice attendees was recruited in seven Spanish provinces between October 2005 and February 2006.
Background: The effects of putative risk factors on the onset and/or persistence of depression remain unclear. We aim to develop comprehensive models to predict the onset and persistence of episodes of depression in primary care. Here we explain the general methodology of the predictD-Spain study and evaluate the reliability of the questionnaires used.
