“…Estos efectos reducen notablemente el riesgo de caída y favorecen la autonomía y la socialización de la persona mayor. Este factor correlaciona con la mejora de la dimensión funcional de la CdV (Schwartz, 2010).…”

La Calidad de Vida (CdV) corresponde a un concepto multidimensional, dinámico y de paradigma modular. La CdV está influenciada por los mecanismos psicológicos relativos a la capacidad de adaptación a la enfermedad. El objetivo de este trabajo es describir la línea de investigación relativa a la CdV y enfermedad crónica. El objetivo específico es determinar los mecanismos implicados en el cambio de la CdV en un grupo de personas mayores con cáncer. Método. El estudio es prospectivo casiexperimental. Con una muestra de 130 participantes con cáncer. Resultados. El programa de rehabilitación mejora el fitness muscular, la eficacia cardiovascular en reposo y esfuerzo y, reduce el declivio continuo desencadenante que provocan los tratamientos. Se identifica un aumento significativo de la CdV en el periodo evaluado. Se confirma que la CdV en el momento inicial de la enfermedad es baja. La adherencia conseguida al programa es del 93%. Conclusiones. Queda científicamente demostrada la eficacia de un programa de rehabilitación adaptado a los síntomas que genera la enfermedad y el tratamiento de cáncer en la mejora de la CdV de la persona mayor. El programa es una opción terapéutica para conservar la CdV del enfermo en el continuo de la enfermedad. En estos momentos se estudia el timing en que la realización del programa es más eficaz.Palabras clave: Calidad de Vida, Gerontología, cáncer, programa de rehabilitación. Quality of Life and Gerontology: Description of a research line.The Quality of Life (QoL) is a multidimensional, dynamic and modular concept. QoL is influenced by psychological mechanisms related to the adaptation disease. The aim of this paper is to describe the research line on QoL and chronic disease. The specific objective is to determine the mechanisms involved in the change of QoL in a group of elderly people with cancer. Method. The study is prospective quasi-experimental. With a sample of 130 participants with cancer. Results. The rehabilitation program improves muscular fitness, cardiovascular efficiency, (at rest and effort) and reduces the continued decline related to treatment. We have observed a significant increase in QoL in the period evaluated. This result confirms that QoL at baseline of the disease is low. Adherence to the program achieved is 93%. Conclusions. We confirm the effectiveness of a rehabilitation program tailored to the symptoms generated by the disease and cancer treatment in improving QoL of older people. The program is a therapeutic option to preserve the QoL of the patient in the continuum of the disease. Now we are studying the timing where the implementation of the program is most effective.

“…Metzoff (1981a) identifies the two methods of measuring training effectiveness; the participant self-report questionnaire, and the behavioral observation measure. Using the traditional pre/post method for self-report assessments has long been considered the least effective and reliable method of measuring training outcomes because 1) on the pre-assessment participants may have limited knowledge of the construct being measured and therefore do not have the reference to adequately assess their prior knowledge, and 2) they tend to underestimate training benefits (Drennan & Hyde, 2008;Metzoff, 1981a;Rockwell & Kohn, 1989;Schwartz & Sprangers, 2010).…”

“…The tendency for the participant to redefine his/her frame of reference after training, called response-shift bias, has been found in numerous studies using pre and post assessments in a variety of training situations, and causes pretest-posttest comparisons to be inaccurate (Blome & Augistin, 2016;Davis, 2002;Drennan & Hyde, 2008;Howard, 1980;Metzoff, 1981b;Schwartz & Sprangers, 2010;Umble, Upshaw, Orton, & Matthews, 2000). Response-shift bias means that the participant has shifted his/her internal definition of the criteria by which to judge the appropriate rating of an item because the training has impacted his/her frame of reference (Blome & Augustin, 2016;Davis, 2002;Drennan & Hyde, 2008;Howard, 1980;Metzoff, 1981b;Schwartz & Sprangers, 2010;Umble et al, 2000).…”

Co-Curricular Learning and Assessment in New Student Orientation at a Community College

With increased public pressure to impact student success, assess student learning and increase completion outcomes at community colleges, mandatory orientation can be an important first step on the path to success. Colleges also need to identify opportunities for assessing co-curricular learning in student affairs programs and functions. This study describes the process of implementing a mandatory new student orientation at a community college in Colorado. The program assessment included data collection at the individual student level to document student learning, and more broadly to demonstrate that the program contributed to increases in student retention outcomes and documented student learning from the beginning of the college transition process. The authors found statistically significant differences in student learning about key on boarding topics following orientation and the new student orientation also contributed to a seventeen percent increase in fall to spring retention of new students.

“…Originating from work in educational and management sciences research, this approach gained popularity because it was easy to implement and easy to analyze. However, a number of researchers have documented that the then-test is confounded with recall bias [7,8] and reflects a number of cognitive processes in addition to recalibration response shift effects [9,10]. TamineauBloem et al [11] conducted qualitative studies and used cognitive interviewing to examine whether two key assumptions of the then-test approach are valid.…”
