Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the concept of skin failure, emphasizing the need to differentiate it from other skin injuries like pressure injuries, and aims to establish clear clinical characteristics to improve care standards.
- - Researchers conducted a scoping review from April to May 2023, gathering literature on skin failure diagnosis in adults, while excluding studies focused on pediatrics or unrelated dermatological issues.
- - Out of 196 articles reviewed, only 8 pertained to skin failure, highlighting factors such as sepsis and poor oxygenation as signs of acute skin failure, but overall, there was a lack of strong clinical indicators for accurate evaluation.
Objective: The objective of this review is to synthesize the available evidence on the effectiveness of combined virtual and clinical simulation compared with other active teaching strategies on health students' learning.
Introduction: Current evidence indicates that both virtual simulation and clinical simulation are effective in assisting students to acquire clinical skills. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the effectiveness of the combined use of both teaching strategies, which could enhance health students' learning.
Introduction: Chile presents a context of an aging population and increased life expectancy, leading to many older adults (OA) needing palliative care (PC) during the course of their illness. The SPICT-ES™ is an instrument used to clinically evaluate patients with advanced chronic illness (ACI) to detect PC needs. Validating this instrument in Chile will allow for early detection of OA at risk of clinical deterioration who require this care.
