Aim
The aim of this study is to determine the reliability and validity of the Humour Styles Questionnaire (HSQ) in a sample of Spanish healthcare professionals.
Design
A cross‐sectional study.
Methods
The version of HSQ translated into Spanish by Cayssials and Pérez was used to validate on a sample of healthcare professionals (N = 250). The reliability analysed the Crombach's α coefficient and Pearson's correlation coefficient between the factors and the total scale score. The Exploratory Factor Analysis was carried out with Kaiser's criteria for the extraction of factors with Varimax rotation.
Results
HSQ in this study sample reproduced the similar structure of the original version with four factors (affiliative, self‐enhancing, aggressive and self‐defeating humour). These factors explained 44.46% of the total variance and Cronbach's ranged from 0.64–0.79. Global HSQ scale reliability was 0.82.
Conclusion
The HSQ is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing humour in healthcare professionals.
Resumen. Introducción: Las úlceras de pie diabético son una de las mayores causas de incapacidad en pacientes con Diabetes Mellitus (DM). La Terapia de Presión Negativa (TPN) se presenta como uno de los mejores procedimientos en su tratamiento, estimulando la granulación, drenando el exudado y reduciendo el edema. Objetivos: Realizar una revisión sistemática acerca de la efectividad y la aplicabilidad clínica real del uso de la TPN en las úlceras de pie diabético. Material y métodos: Búsqueda bibliográfica realizada en noviembre de 2016 en las bases de datos PubMed, CINAHL, SciELO y Web of Science, con las palabras clave ("negative pressure wound therapy" OR "vacuum assisted closure" OR "vacuum sealing drainage") AND ("diabetic foot" OR "diabetic wound" OR "diabetic ulcer"). Se seleccionaron las publicaciones cuyos diseños fueran ensayos clínicos aleatorizados (ECA), según los criterios de la declaración PRISMA, y analizaran el objetivo planteado. Resultados: Se encontraron 12 ECAs de calidad metodológica suficiente. 7 de los ECAs utilizaron como variable principal la superficie del lecho de la herida y 5 utilizaron el tiempo hasta la granulación. Conclusiones: La TPN consigue una mayor superficie de tejido de granulación, un menor tiempo de cicatrización y una diminución del tiempo hasta que comienza la granulación. Palabras clave: pie diabético; Terapia de Presión Negativa. [en] Effectiveness of negative pressure therapy in diabetic foot ulcer: systematic review Abstract. Background: Diabetic foot ulcers are one of the major causes of disability in patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM). The Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is one of the major procedures in his treatment, estimulating granulation, draining exudate and reducing edema.e Objectives: To realize a systematic review about the effectiveness and the real clinical application of NPWT use in diabetic foot ulcers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
