The aim of this paper is to assess whether patient-centred consultations are more effective than the usual style of consultations used by general practitioners with patients suffering from benign chronic musculoskeletal pain and fibromyalgia. It also seeks to evaluate the differential characteristics of these two clinical groups of symptoms. The study was designed as a cluster randomised and simple blind trial. Twenty general practitioners took part and 110 patients were recruited. Compared with patients who received the usual treatment from their family physician, those who received a patient-centred approach showed greater improvement after 1 year in terms of psychological distress (anxiety) and number of tender points, as well as showing positive trends in some important outcomes such as pain intensity. Significantly better results were observed in those patients suffering chronic pain than in those with fibromyalgia, particularly as regards associated symptoms, self-rated pain and physical mobility as measured by the Nottingham health profile.

Resumen Objetivos estimar la evolucion de la prevalencia y las actitudes personales ante el tabaco de los medicos de un hospital regional universitario. Material y metodos se diseno un estudio transversal, por encuesta. La poblacion de estudio estuvo comprendida portodos los medicos adscritos al Hospital Regional Universitario «Reina Sofia», de Cordoba (N=738). Mediante muestreo sistematico se selecciono una muestra aleatoria de 250 facultativos especialistas. Se diseno un cuestionario autoadministrado, con preguntas sobre el consumo actual, tipo e intensidad del habito tabaquico, grado de dependencia, opinion sobre la normativa actual, y medidas a tomar ante este habito. Se comparan los datos obtenidos en nuestro estudio con otro «corte» realizado en 1987 con una metodologia similar. Resultados se obtuvo una prevalencia del 42% (Intervalo de Confianza -IC-95%: 35,5-48,9) en 1992, lo que supuso una reduccion del 14,3% (IC 95%: 3,0-26,3) en relacion a 1987. El mayor consumo de cigarrillos/dia se encuentra en el grupo de 36 a 45 anos (p Conclusiones se pone de manifiesto una reduccion de la prevalencia de consumo de tabaco entre nuestros facultativos. Sin embargo, es destacable el numero de profesionales que todavia siguen fumando dentro del recinto sanitario, aunque este ha disminuido significativamente.

OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to assess the effectiveness of opportunistic screening through pulse palpation in the early detection of atrial fibrillation in subjects aged≥65 years versus detection through an active search for patients with symptoms and/or complications and sequelae associated. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a cluster randomized controlled trial performed in 48 primary care centers of the Spanish National Healthcare System. A total of 368 physicians and nurses were randomized. The researchers in the experimental group (EG) performed opportunistic screening for auricular fibrillation, whereas the researchers in the control group (CG) actively searched for symptomatic patients. An ECG was performed on patients found to have an irregular heartbeat to confirm the diagnosis of auricular fibrillation. RESULTS A total of 5,465 patients with a mean age of 75.61 years were recruited for the EG, and 1,525 patients with a mean age of 74.07 years were recruited for the CG. Of these, 58.6% were female, without significant differences between groups. Pulse was irregular in 4.3 and 15.0% of the patients in the EG and the CG, respectively (P<.001). A total of 164 new cases of atrial fibrillation were detected (2.3%), 1.1% in the EG and 6.7% in the CG (adjusted OR: 0.29; 95% CI 0.18-0.45). CONCLUSIONS Case finding for atrial fibrillation in patients aged≥65 years with symptoms or signs suggestive of atrial fibrillation is a more effective strategy than opportunistic screening through pulse palpation in asymptomatic patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial is registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01291953; February 8, 2011).

Resumen Objetivo Valorar si un programa formativo ofrecido por médicos de familia en el currículum oficial de medicina sobre principios y estrategias para ayudar a los pacientes a cambiar conductas de riesgo (APCCR) produce cambios en sus percepciones, opiniones y actitudes con relación a este tipo de intervenciones. Diseño Estudio cuasiexperimental antes-después. Emplazamiento Una facultad de medicina. Participantes Todos los alumnos de 4.o curso de medicina (n = 110). Intervenciones Formación experiencial sobre estrategias comunicativas para APCCR. Mediciones Opiniones y percepciones evaluadas antes y después del curso mediante cuestionario ad hoc. Resultados Tras el curso, los estudiantes (n = 103) cambiaron sus ideas sobre la motivación como factor «interno» (15, 13%) a «interno-externo» (71, 61%) (p = 0,003), reforzando sus opiniones sobre la capacidad del médico para APCCR (alta: 72, 62%; baja: 10, 12%; p = 0,008). Los alumnos se consideraron más capaces de respetar la autonomía de los pacientes cuando estos toman decisiones o siguen conductas consideradas perjudiciales (fácil: 58, 50%; difícil: 28, 24%; p = 0,001) e incrementaron su percepción sobre su capacidad para afrontar este tipo de entrevistas (83, 72% vs. 1, 1%; p < 0,001). Conclusiones Esta formación parece contribuir a crear en estudiantes percepciones y actitudes positivas relacionadas con aspectos claves a la hora de afrontar una entrevista para APCCR, lo cual supone un aspecto preliminar clave para implementar este tipo de estrategias.
