Se evaluaron a 305 pacientes en la consulta externa del Centro de MedicinaComplementaria (CAMEC) durante el año 2016, mediante el uso del SERVQUAL modificado. Además,se evaluaron posibles factores asociados como la edad, sexo, grado de instrucción, tipo de paciente(nuevo o continuador) o la condición del encuestado (paciente o acompañante). Resultados. Lasatisfacción global fue de 72,9%. La satisfacción por dimensiones fue de un 68,6% de Fiabilidad;72,3% de Capacidad de Respuesta; 77,1% de Seguridad; 73,7% de Empatía, y 73,6% para AspectosTangibles. El sexo y la edad estuvieron relacionados con todas las dimensiones evaluadas (p<0,05) ycon la satisfacción global en el caso de las personas mayores de 58 años. Conclusión.

This cross-European research partnership reports on supporting pro-active learning and teaching. The two-part project firstly explored student beliefs about electronics within a physics degree and secondly, the use of peer assessment of a Mathematica notebook to develop understandings of standards and quality. Student beliefs were explored because of the negative perceptions tutors thought students brought to the Engineering course within the Physics degree. The results showed that tutors’ fears were unfounded and that the students were highly motivated. Secondly, through peer assessment of a notebook, students developed critical understandings of standards and quality. Generally, students valued the content support and appreciated both the work of their peer and how this helped their own understanding.

Introduction:The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of Satureja brevicalyx essential oil inhalation on premenstrual syndrome. Methods: The oils were extracted by hydro-distillation using a modified Clevenger-type apparatus and chemical composition was performed by Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Furthermore, a quasi-experimental study was conducted, where 61 participants were divided in two groups, comprising an experimental with essential oils and a control group with no treatment. Main psychological symptoms were assessed with the used of Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) as well as total score of premenstrual syndrome was evaluated with Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS). Results: chemical analysis showed that linalool (17.6%) was the main component. All variables showed a decrease in posttest study phase in comparison with pretest in experimental group (p<0.05). A large size effect was observed for anxiety (d = 1.25; Δ = 1.35). Besides, moderate changes were found for depression (d = 0.79; Δ= 0.81) and premenstrual syndrome total score (d = 0.62; Δ = 0.56). Conclusion: The essential oil of Satureja brevicalyx exerts a potencial use, especially for the treatment of psychological symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.
