Implementation of the EIRA 3 Intervention by Targeting Primary Health Care Practitioners: Effectiveness in Increasing Physical Activity.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that physical inactivity (PI) is responsible for 20 to 30% of all non-communicable diseases. We aimed to analyze the effectiveness of a multiple health behavior change (MHBC) intervention to increase physical activity (PA) in patients 45 to 75 years old who had at least 2 of 3 unhealthy behaviors (tobacco use, reduced fruit and vegetable consumption, and insufficient PA). The MHBC intervention is based on the Transtheoretical Model and the conceptual framework of the "5 A's" and includes an individually tailored intervention, group sessions, and the use of community resources.

Clinical and imaging effects of corticosteroids and platelet-rich plasma for the treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis: A comparative non randomized prospective study.

The purpose is to compare the effectiveness and imaging changes (US and MRI) between PRP and corticoids injections for the treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis, using clinical results evaluated by the visual analogue scale (VAS), the AOFAS clinical rating system and the modified Roles and Maudsley score, and using imaging results (US and MRI). Our hypothesis is that PRP infiltrations are a more effective therapeutic method than infiltrations with corticosteroids. A single-centre, non randomized, prospective study of 40 consecutive patients (40 feet) with plantar fasciitis who had not responded to conservative treatment for at least 6 months was undertaken.

Complex multiple risk intervention to promote healthy behaviours in people between 45 to 75 years attended in primary health care (EIRA study): study protocol for a hybrid trial.

Background: Health promotion is a key process of current health systems. Primary Health Care (PHC) is the ideal setting for health promotion but multifaceted barriers make its integration difficult in the usual care. The majority of the adult population engages two or more risk behaviours, that is why a multiple intervention might be more effective and efficient.

Lessons learned for reducing the negative impact of adverse events on patients, health professionals and healthcare organizations.

Purpose: To summarize the knowledge about the aftermath of adverse events (AEs) and develop a recommendation set to reduce their negative impact in patients, health professionals and organizations in contexts where there is no previous experiences and apology laws are not present.

Data Sources: Review studies published between 2000 and 2015, institutional websites and experts' opinions on patient safety.

Study Selection: Studies published and websites on open disclosure, and the second and third victims' phenomenon.

[Women's satisfaction with pregnancy follow-up. Differences among healthcare levels].

Objectives: To determine women's satisfaction with pregnancy follow-up and to evaluate possible differences among healthcare levels.

Methods: Cross-sectional study in women who had given birth in the University Hospital of Salamanca (Spain) between November 2002 and April 2003. Satisfaction was measured by a self-completed questionnaire after delivery.

[Smoking cessation in primary and specialized care: a real opportunity and a public health necessity].

Aim: To determine whether primary care provides a suitable framework for integrated treatment aimed at smoking cessation with systematic minimal intervention or pharmacological treatment with nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). To compare the results with those obtained in a specialized pneumology unit.

Design: Prospective, quasi-experimental study.

[The physician and the patient in the decision to quit smoking. Effect of the initiative on the result of the intervention].

Introduction: The results obtained from treatment of smoking addiction are not all that might be desired, such that continued investigation of the various factors that determine treatment success or failure are necessary. The aim of this study was to know the influence of health care providers in the smoking cessation process.

Material And Methods: We performed a prospective, longitudinal study of patients at a primary care facility and a specialized unit.
