Introducción. El clima académico es un aspecto clave de la calidad docente de las instituciones académicas, sin embargo, son pocos los estudios realizados en el ámbito universitario en que se ha analizado este constructo de forma sistemática.Método. Ante la ausencia de instrumentos específicos para ser aplicados en la universidad, hemos planteado la construcción de un instrumento para evaluar la percepción que tienen los estudiantes universitarios del clima de su clase partiendo de la adaptación de un cuestionario sobre clima social en el aula pensado para centros de enseñanza secundaria.Resultados. Los análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio realizados con una muestra de 330 estudiantes universitarios de diferentes estudios y años han dado como resultado un cuestionario de 22 ítems con un factor de primer orden sobre clima académico disociable en tres factores de segundo orden (actuación del profesor y relación con los alumnos, atmósfera afectiva –sentimiento de pertenencia- y comportamiento normativo, y relación entre los estudiantes).Discusión y conclusión. La Escala de Clima Social en el Aula para Universidades (ECSA-U) presenta adecuadas propiedades psicométricas y es un buen punto de partida con el que evaluar el clima en el contexto universitario.

The University

The conditions are investigated in which Spanish university teachers carry out their teaching and research functions. 655 teachers from the University of Oviedo took part in this study by completing the Academic Setting Evaluation Questionnaire (ASEQ). Of the three dimensions assessed in the ASEQ, Satisfaction received the lowest ratings, Social Climate was rated higher, and Relations with students was rated the highest. These results are similar to those found in two studies carried out in the academic years 1986/87 and 1989/90. Their relevance for higher education is twofold because these data can be used as a complement of those obtained by means of students' opinions, and the crossing of both types of data can facilitate decision making in order to improve the quality of the work (teaching and research) of the university institutions.

Knowledge Attitude And Practice

To evaluate the role of educational intervention on health care workers' (HCWs) compliance to standard precautions and cleaning of frequently touched surfaces at critical care units, forty-nine HCWs at 2 intensive care units (ICUs) and one neonatology unit at Fayoum University hospital were evaluated for knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) towards standard precautions as well as obstacles affecting their compliance to standard precautions before and after a 32-hour purposed-designed infection control education program. A structured self-administrated questionnaire as well as observational checklists were used. Assessment of Environmental cleaning was investigated by observational checklist, ATP bioluminescence and aerobic bacteriological culture for 118 frequently touched surfaces. Pre-intervention assessment revealed that 78.6% of HCWs were with good knowledge, 82.8% with good attitude and 80.8% had good practice. Obstacles identified by HCWs were as follow: making patient-care very technical (65.3%), deficiency of hand washing facilities (59.2%), skin irritation resulting from hand hygiene products (51%), and unavailability of PPE (38.8%). High significant improvements of knowledge, attitude and practice were detected after one month of educational intervention (P= 0.000). During the pre-interventional period only 30.5% of surfaces were considered clean versus 97.45% post intervention (P< 0.05). The highest Median ATP bioluminescence values were obtained from telephone handset, light switches and Blood pressure cuffs. S. aureus was the most common isolated organism followed by Enterococcus spp and E.coli (52, 38 and 19 surfaces respectively). In conclusion, contentious training of HCWs on standard precautions should be considered a mandatory element in infection control programs
