Authors: Bakri Mohammed Atiah Ahmed , El-Setouhy Maged
Published: May 2022

Background: Sleep disturbances are extremely common among doctors with profound effect on quality of life. Coronaphobia is the dread of COVID-19 that can affect physicians and their sleep quality. Aim of Study: Our study aimed to assess sleep disturbance and its association with coronaphobia among primary health care (PHC) physicians in Primary Health care Centers (PHCCs) of the Ministry of Health, Jazan Province, Saudi Arabia. Method: The study is a cross-sectional questionnaire-based observational investigation using a simple random sampling scheme. The sampling frame was all PHC physicians practicing in Jazan Province. We used the Fear-of-COVID and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaires. Poisson Regression modelling techniques were used to analyse the adjusted effect of sociodemographic factors on Fear-of-COVID and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality scores. Results: A total of 385 physicians participated in the study. The prevalence of poor quality of sleep among our physicians was 47.3%, while prevalence of coronaphobia was 56.2%. Coronaphobia had significant negative impact on sleep quality, even with adjustment for the effect of all other clinical and demographic variables. A rise by one point in the fear of COVID questionnaire is associated with a rise by 2.3% points in the PSQI score (indicative of poorer sleep quality, p = 0.00081). Conclusions: Coronaphobia is common and has detrimental effect of sleep quality among PHC physicians. Coronaphobia has negative impact on sleep quality. Higher burden of depressive symptoms worsens physicians’ sleep quality. Recommendations: Support for PHC physicians’ psychological and physical well-being is paramount during the current COVID-19 crisis. Keywords: Coronaphobia, sleep quality, risk factors, South-western Saudi Arabia

Authors: Alzahrani Reham O. , Alqahtani Reem M. , Alharbi Shada M.
Published: May 2022

Background: Despite adequate guidelines that support medication prescribing during pregnancy, primary health care physicians’ practice in Saudi Arabia is still not assessed. Objectives: to assess knowledge and practice of physicians towards medication prescription during pregnancy and to determine obstacles in prescribing medications. Methods: Across-sectional study was done on of 168 PHC physicians in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A questionnaire was distributed to physicians online, including questions about their knowledge about medication prescribing (categories), reading sources, and practice. Results: 78.6% of PHC physicians faced obstacles in prescribing medication for pregnant women, where lack of time to read limited information about patient and treatment and pregnant women education level were the most common obstacles found. Amoxicillin (86.9%), Levothyroxine (75.6%), Methyldopa (73.8%), Calcium carbonate (71.4%), Nasal fluticasone (57.1%), and Penicillin G were the most commonly reported medications as being safe during pregnancy by participants (56.5%). Doxycycline (64.9%), methotrexate (63.7%), warfarin (54.2%), and statins were the most commonly reported unsafe medications. Participants aged 25-35 years had a significantly higher percentage of facing a lack of time to read as an obstacle in prescribing medication for pregnant women, whereas GPs had a significantly higher percentage of facing obstacles, such as the level of education of pregnant women, a lack of privacy in a PHC, and a lack of pregnancy education. Conclusion: There is insufficient awareness and practice of PHC physicians regarding medication prescribing during pregnancy. It is necessary to raise their awareness about the FDA guidelines. Keywords: knowledge, practice, PHC, medication, pregnancy, Jeddah

Published: May 2022

Introduction: The current COVID 19 pandemic has led to abrupt changes in medical education with an imperative need to shift to e-learning for continuity of the education. This shift was challenging especially for developing countries with limited resources and time required for preparation of this shift. Also, there are many queries on the effectiveness and quality of education following this shift. The study aimed to review a hybrid e-learning experience and the participants’ early perceptions. Method: This was an interventional study. A shortly planned hybrid e-learning system was conducted in the family medicine department programs of MD and MSc. Then, the enrolled 30 postgraduates were invited to participate in a web-based anonymous survey to assess their perception of e-learning after a 2- month experience. Results: Twenty-six participants were recruited in the survey. The most perceived e-learning advantages were feasibility, saving costs, and motivation to learn. While the perceived challenges were lack of technical skills and internet connection strength. This hybrid learning experience encouraged interaction, motivation, cognitive and problem-solving skills, independent working, and effective time management. Conclusion: The implementation of hybrid e-learning is a significant step forwards and easily conducted, but it requires work to be improved. Keywords: E-learning, Hybrid, Postgraduate

Authors: Aljehani Najwa F. , Kayal Sara , Albeshry Abdulrahman M. , Qutub Majdy M.
Published: May 2022

Background: Family Medicine Residents face stressors related to their professional responsibilities, ethics, and relationships with patients, supervisors, and society. These stressors were found to increase during the COVID-19 crisis and can lead to maladaptive coping and affect their resilience. Objectives: to assess family medicine residents’ level of resilience coping self-efficacy during COVID-19 crisis. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 208 family medicine residents in the Western region of Saudi Arabia. Resilience and coping self-efficacy were assessed using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-25 items (CD-RISC-25) and coping self-efficacy scale (CSES), respectively. Professional stressors including work environment satisfaction (WES) were assessed. Results: The mean (SD) CD-RISC-25 and CSEC score was 54.53 (19.69) out of 100 and 136.81 (63.67) out of 260, respectively. Suboptimal resilience was independently associated with shorter (<10 min.) consultation time (OR=3.83, p=0.023) and lower CSES score (OR=0.98, p<0.001), with 32.5% variance. CSES score was independently explained by WES score (B=16.06, p<0.001), spiritual fulfillment (B=11.71, p=0.011), and home-job travel time (B=9.12, p=0.032) in a positive relationship; whereas it was negatively associated with history of significant disease (B= -28.66, p=0.002). Conclusion: Family medicine residents are at high-risk for psychological distress during the COVID-19 crisis, indicated by low resilience and coping self-efficacy levels. The model suggests high impact of WES and spiritual fulfillment in coping self-efficacy indicating relevance in resilience-promoting interventions. Keywords: Resilience, CD-RISC-25, coping, medical residents, COVID-19, stressors

: This study aimed to investigate the synthesis, characterization, and biodistribution of scandium nanoparticles encapsulated within poly (amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers, as well as to estimate the human absorbed dose. It also aimed to examine, in particular, the amine-terminated PAMAM dendrimers in generation 5. Irradiation of the compound in the nuclear reactor resulted in the formation of Sc-radioactive complex nanoparticles. The compound of the dendrimer-Sc3+ was confirmed by the UV-vis spectrometer. The size of the particles was less than 10 nm, and it was assessed using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The synthesized complex was irradiated by the 3 × 1011 n.cm-2s-1 flux of neutron for 2 h. Mice bearing a breast tumor were employed to assess the therapeutic dose that was delivered by the poly scandium-46-nanoparticles. As opposed to the untreated groups, a single injection of poly phosphate-buffered saline to intratumoral in other groups to deliver a dose of 100 µCi resulted in a statistically significant 39.24% reduction in tumor volume 14 days after injection. After applying the biokinetics data in mice, the human’s absorbed dose from scandium-47 encapsulated PAMAM was extrapolated based on animal data. The absorbed doses in critical organs, including the liver, lung, spleen, kidney, and bone, were 0.879, 0.0472, 0.191, 0.107, and 0.155 mGy/MBq, respectively.

Published: May 2022

Background: As polypharmacy has some medically negative impacts, it has become a challenging issue for public health and affected people. Therefore, we decided to investigate the prevalence of polypharmacy and its predicting risk factors in the Azar cohort population. Methods: In this cross-sectional population-based cohort study, the prevalence of polypharmacy was evaluated in 15,001 subjects who participated in the Azar cohort study. We measured demographic characteristics (age, gender, socioeconomic status, smoking status, marital status, and education level), physical activity level, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, multimorbidity (coexistence of two or more chronic diseases (CDs)), and polypharmacy status (a daily intake of five or more medicines for a minimum of 90 days). Results: Based on our results, 9.51% of the population had polypharmacy. The five most prescribed medications were drugs acting on the cardiovascular system (19.9%), central nervous system (16.7%), endocrine system (13.3%), NSAIDs (11.5%), and drugs used for musculoskeletal and joint diseases (11.4%). Being female, illiterate, and having the lowest tertile of physical activity level significantly increased the risk of polypharmacy. The risk of polypharmacy was 49.36 times higher in patients with four or more CDs than in those without. Conclusions: Our study emphasized the importance of routine monitoring to evaluate polypharmacy among those aged 35 to 59 and the elderly. Physicians should carefully assess drug suitability, especially in multimorbid and obese patients, to prevent excessive polypharmacy and its potentially negative impacts.

Authors: Silva Antonio Waldimir Leopoldino da , Roieski Patrick Iury
Published: May 2022

A silagem de milho é um volumoso muito empregado para suprir o déficit alimentar causado pela estacionalidade de oferta de forragens. Além da cultura ser exigente em fertilidade do solo, a colheita exporta todo o material, aumentando a extração de nutrientes. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar tecnicamente a adubação empregada em unidades de produção agrícola (UPs) que não realizam análise de solo (AS) prévia ao cultivo e estimar o possível retorno financeiro de uma adubação adequadamente orientada. A amostra consistiu de 36 UPs adotantes do sistema de plantio direto, situadas em nove municípios do Oeste Catarinense. Antes da implantação da cultura, realizou-se amostragem do solo, mas as AS resultantes não foram usadas para recomendar a adubação, que foi a usualmente praticada na PR. As exigências de N, P2O5 e K2O para a expectativa de produtividade foram atendidas, respectivamente, em 27,8%, 22,2% e 2,8% das UPs e a relação P2O5:K2O da adubação realizada (1,00:0,92) diferiu da recomendada (1,00:1,68). Com base na quantidade de adubo aplicado, na extração prevista e no nutriente limitante, estimou-se uma produção média de 8,74 Mg/ha de matéria seca. Com uma adubação mais equilibrada e de mesmo custo, a produção poderia chegar a 11,99 Mg/ha, determinando um ganho adicional de 296 dólares por hectare. A adubação baseada na AS é um importante elemento na busca pela sustentabilidade técnica e econômica do cultivo de milho para silagem.

Background: Tobacco cessation after a cancer diagnosis can extend patient survival by improving outcomes for primary cancer and preventing secondary cancers. However, smoking is often unaddressed in cancer care, highlighting the need for strategies to increase treatment reach and cessation. This study examined a low-burden, point-of-care tobacco treatment program (ELEVATE) featuring an electronic health record–enabled smoking module and decision support tools to increase the reach and effectiveness of evidence-based smoking cessation treatment. Methods: This study included adult outpatient tobacco smokers (n=13,651) in medical oncology, internal medicine, and surgical oncology clinics from a large midwestern healthcare system. We examined reach and effectiveness of ELEVATE with 2 comparisons: (1) preimplementation versus postimplementation of ELEVATE and (2) ELEVATE versus usual care. Data were evaluated during 2 time periods: preimplementation (January through May 2018) and postimplementation (June through December 2018), with smoking cessation assessed at the last follow-up outpatient encounter during the 6 months after these periods. Results: The proportion of current tobacco smokers receiving cessation treatment increased from pre-ELEVATE to post-ELEVATE (1.6%–27.9%; difference, 26.3%; relative risk, 16.9 [95% CI, 9.8–29.2]; P<.001). Compared with 27.9% treatment reach with ELEVATE in the postimplementation time period, reach within usual care clinics ranged from 11.8% to 12.0% during this same period. The proportion of tobacco smokers who subsequently achieved cessation increased significantly from pre-ELEVATE to post-ELEVATE (12.0% vs 17.2%; difference, 5.2%; relative risk, 1.3 [95% CI, 1.1–1.5]; P=.002). Compared with 17.2% smoking cessation with ELEVATE in the postimplementation time period, achievement of cessation within usual care clinics ranged from 8.2% to 9.9% during this same period. Conclusions: A low-burden, point-of-care tobacco treatment strategy increased tobacco treatment and cessation, thereby improving access to and the impact of evidence-based cessation treatment. Using implementation strategies to embed tobacco treatment in every healthcare encounter promises to engage more smokers in evidence-based treatment and facilitate smoking cessation, thereby improving care cancer for patients who smoke.

Published: May 2022

O estudo tem como objetivo geral identificar as práticas de Gestão de Pessoas (GP), na visão das PcD’s, líderes e gestor de RH, que promovem a efetiva inclusão das PcD’s em uma indústria metalúrgica de grande porte localizada na região Noroeste do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. O estudo adotou uma abordagem quali-quantitativa e descritiva dos dados. A coleta dos dados baseou-se em questionários semiestruturados e estruturados aplicados as PcD’s, líderes e gestor de RH, os quais foram adaptados do trabalho de Santos et al. (2017). Os resultados apontam que a percepção de satisfação em relação a efetiva inclusão dos PcD’s a partir dos processos de GP da empresa analisada na visão das PcD’s, líderes e RH nem sempre são as mesmas em algumas práticas. Em análise geral, para as PcD’s e para os líderes o nível é alto de satisfação, e para o RH está adequado às práticas de GP para inclusão, pois estão cumprindo a lei de cotas. Diante deste contexto, percebeu-se que a empresa em estudo cumpre a lei das cotas, mas não necessariamente isso significa que ela efetivamente inclua-os, visto que, incluir é mais que cumprir a lei. Também foi possível comparar este estudo ao de Santos et al. (2017) sendo possível identificar que há divergências no que tange a satisfação nas práticas de GP, mesmo as empresas estando inseridas na mesma região de atuação, e estarem cumprindo o que preconiza a lei das cotas.

O objetivo do artigo é analisar como a cultura organizacional influencia para mitigar o impacto da flexibilização das condições de trabalho de professores de instituições de ensino superior no período da pandemia da covid 19. A questão da pesquisa busca responder: qual o papel da cultura organizacional na implantação do modelo de trabalho home-office de aulas na modalidade Ensino Remoto Emergencial (ERE)? Como categorias de análise teórica,  adotou-se abordar a cultura organizacional e a modalidade de teletrabalho em home-office. Como estratégia de pesquisa foi utilizado o método “survey” para analisar como a cultura organizacional no contexto de crise sanitária minimiza os impactos da implantação do home-office em aulas ministradas remotamente por professores de IES públicas e privadas. O instrumento de pesquisa survey foi um questionário com perguntas de escala fechada do tipo Likert, com amostra não probabilística, totalizando 180 respondentes. Constatou-se a formação de dois fatores, Fator 1 "Home-Office" – aspectos que contribuíram para implementação desta modalidade de teletrabalho nas IES’s investigadas e Fator 2 “Cultura Organizacional” – as principais características dos componentes internos da cultura das IES’s da região metropolitana de Belém, na Amazônia paraense, que favoreceram esse processo de implementação do ERE.
Avaliação de desempenho na movimentação de cargas em portos e terminais portuários: revisão da literatura
Authors: Doré Elivelton Luiz , Ensslin Sandra Rolim
Published: May 2022

Os avanços do comércio mundial nas últimas décadas, com o acelerado desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias, bem como a integração comercial entre os países, aceleraram também o processo de interação entre as cadeias logísticas mundiais, de modo que a competitividade passou a ser avaliada mundialmente, em um cenário altamente concorrente. O transporte passou a ser um fator de extrema necessidade no planejamento das organizações, uma vez que a redução de custos e o aumento da eficiência trazem uma vantagem competitiva ao mercado. Assim, as estruturas portuárias são os principais caminhos pelos quais a riqueza produzida é movimentada e comercializada, sendo necessário avaliar o desempenho na movimentação de cargas em portos e terminais portuários, de modo que sejam reconhecidos como alavancas para o desenvolvimento econômico, o aumento da produtividade e a geração de emprego e renda. Dessa forma, o presente artigo buscou mapear e analisar a literatura relevante existente sobre a temática, com base na utilização do instrumento de intervenção Knowledge Development Process-Constructivist (ProKnow-C) para nortear a seleção e análise crítica da literatura de forma sistemática. Os resultados encontrados demonstram que a literatura atual em relação à temática se preocupa com mais intensidade sobre o contexto de gestão, mercado e infraestrutura eficiência e operacional, com domínio dos indicadores ligados à produtividade operacional das cargas e sua localização geográfica em relação aos ambientes portuários, demonstrando grande preocupação com a redução de custos aos usuários e ao consumidor final. Aponta-se como oportunidade de pesquisa o desenvolvimento de uma avaliação de desempenho feita de forma integrada e holística, levando em consideração as percepções do(s) gestores(es), uma vez que os artigos do portfólio bibliográfico (PB) abordam e avaliam, em sua maioria, apenas um fragmento do contexto, em vez da avaliação global e estruturada. Isso leva a uma visão fracionada da performance, o que pode conduzir a decisões equivocadas, além de deixar de considerar e perceber oportunidades mais vantajosas.

Published: May 2022

Este estudo pretende examinar o value relevance das provisões e passivos contingentes presentes no Formulário de Referência, de acordo com a chance de desembolso atribuída pela companhia para cada processo (remota, possível ou provável). Estabeleceram-se como hipóteses do estudo que haveria value relevance nas provisões e os passivos contingentes divulgados pela companhia no Formulário de Referência. A amostra inclui companhias listadas na B3, bolsa de valores do Brasil, dentro dos setores de Consumo Não Cíclico, Petróleo, Gás e Biocombustíveis, Comunicações e Utilidade Pública no período 2010 a 2020, o que resultou em um total de 75 companhias e 735 observações. Em linha com o objetivo e o teste de hipóteses propostos, a técnica estatística aplicada é a análise de dados em painel, aplicando-se modelo linear longitudinal de regressão, baseado em modelo adaptado de relevância de Ohlson (1995). As conclusões mais importantes foram de que não há value relevance quanto às provisões e aos passivos contingentes classificados no Formulário de Referência. Dentre as contribuições deste estudo, destaca-se a rejeição das hipóteses quanto ao value relevance das provisões e passivos contingentes registrados no Formulário de Referência, confirmando-se literatura prévia, especialmente sob a perspectiva de que as informações contidas em divulgações não auditadas das companhias, como o Formulário de Referência, podem ser percebidas diferentemente pelo investidor em comparação àquelas auditadas, como o Balanço Patrimonial.

The adaptations that higher education had to incorporate as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic revealed several weaknesses, shortcomings, and vulnerabilities present in the teaching-learning process; likewise, the student's difficulties in successfully carrying out their professional training were made evident. Much research, even before this public health emergency, has shown gaps in education in regard to gender, with women often facing the greatest impediments regarding access and opportunities. Therefore, the objective of this research is to determine the level of association between gender and the five variables that make up the conditions of virtual learning in times of pandemic at the Universidad Técnica del Norte (Ecuador). It is a quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study; the universe is 11374; the probabilistic sample is 2,895 students; the instrument used showed a reliability level of 0.8 (Cronbach's Alpha). A statistically significant association (p<.05) was found between the gender of the UTN students and the five variables of learning conditions. It was observed that female students regularly face less favorable study conditions than their male peers. 

Las adaptaciones que tuvo que incorporar la educación superior a raíz de la pandemia del COVID-19 revelaron varias debilidades, falencias y vulnerabilidades presentes en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje; asimismo, se evidenciaron las dificultades del estudiante para llevar a cabo con éxito su formación profesional. Muchas investigaciones, incluso antes de esta emergencia sanitaria, han mostrado brechas en la educación con respecto al género, siendo las mujeres quienes enfrentan los mayores impedimentos en cuanto al acceso y las oportunidades. Por ello, el objetivo de esta investigación es determinar el nivel de asociación entre el género y las cinco variables que conforman las condiciones del aprendizaje virtual en tiempos de pandemia en la Universidad Técnica del Norte (Ecuador). Es un estudio cuantitativo, transversal, descriptivo y correlacional; el universo es 11374; la muestra probabilística es de 2895 estudiantes; el instrumento utilizado presentó un nivel de confiabilidad de 0,8 (Alfa de Cronbach). Se encontró una asociación estadísticamente significativa (p<.05) entre el género de los estudiantes de la UTN y las cinco variables de condiciones de aprendizaje. Se observó que las alumnas se enfrentan regularmente a condiciones de estudio menos favorables que sus compañeros varones.

To improve initial teacher training programs and favora positive encounter between students and those who design and implement them, it is necessary to have up-to-date information on entry profiles. This article describes the students according to their life experiences, previous knowledge, professional development and learning goals to know opportunities, needs and improvement trends. From a qualitative orientation, 62 initial evaluation tasks were selected for first-year students of the General Didactics subject of the Master's degree in Primary Education at Universidad XXX from the 2014-15 to 2019-20 academic year. The documentary analysis was supported by the computer software Atlas ti 9 from which emerged, through the articulation of the grounded theory, a set of categories whose relationships and interpretations, results were obtained that evidenced, among others: high teaching vocation and ideas preconceived in training and professional interests oriented to educational change. As main conclusions, it is proposed to connect with training and professionalexperiences related to the educational field as precursory teaching elements; promote innovative, participatory and teamwork methodologies; and guide the theory to educational practice and teaching organization.

Para mejorar los programas de formación inicial docente y favorecer un encuentro positivo entre el alumnado y quienes los diseñan e implementan, es necesario disponer de información actualizada sobre los perfiles de entrada. Este artículo describe al alumnado  según sus experiencias de vida, conocimientos previos, desarrollo profesional  y metas de aprendizaje para conocer oportunidades, necesidades y tendencias de mejora. Desde una orientación cualitativa se seleccionaron 62 tareas de evaluación inicial del estudiantado de primer curso de la asignatura Didáctica General del grado de Maestro/a en Educación Primaria de la Universidad XXX desde el curso 2014-15 hasta 2019-20. El análisis documental fue apoyado por el software informático Atlas ti 9 del que emergieron, por medio de la articulación de la teoría fundamentada, un conjunto de categorías de cuyas relaciones e interpretaciones, se obtuvieron resultados que evidenciaban, entre otros: alta vocación docente e ideas preconcebidas en la formación e intereses profesionales orientados al cambio educativo. Como principales conclusiones se plantea conectar con la formación y experiencias profesionales afines al ámbito educativo como elementos precursores docentes; potenciar metodologías innovadoras, participativas y de trabajo en equipo; y orientar la teoría a la práctica educativa y a la organización docente.

This paper presents the process of creating an instrument for assessing teaching competences applicable throughout various professional life cycles. After designing and validating a global theoretical framework of the teachers’ key competences, the steps followed for the construction of the rubrics associated with the various competence levels are detailed, as well as the competence perception questionnaires linked to each of the grades of the scale established by the rubric. A pilot application is carried out in order to validate the tools created, in addition to obtaining a first preview of the results of a teacher training program in China. The results, collected in terms of perception of the improvement in competence development, allow us to suggest achievements in the improvement of competence linked to community action, initially low, and in assessment competence. Regarding validation, the data collected, in the absence of further analysis, allow us to see that these are valid rubrics and questionnaires to self-assess the level of competence development and proceed, within the framework of professional development processes, to their continuous improvement.

En este artículo se presenta el proceso de creación de un instrumento de evaluación de las competencias docentes aplicable a lo largo de diversos ciclos de vida profesional. Tras diseñar y validar un marco teórico global de las competencias clave del profesorado, se explican los pasos seguidos para la construcción de las rúbricas asociadas a los diversos niveles competenciales, así como los cuestionarios de percepción competencial vinculados a cada uno de los grados de la escala establecida por la rúbrica. Se procede a una aplicación piloto con el fin de validar las herramientas creadas, además de obtener un primer avance de los resultados de un programa formativo de profesorado de China. Los resultados, recogidos en términos de percepción de la mejora en el desarrollo competencial, permiten insinuar logros en la mejora de la competencia vinculada a la acción comunitaria, inicialmente baja y en la competencia de evaluación. Respecto a la validación, los datos recogidos, a falta de ulteriores análisis, permiten atisbar que se trata de rúbricas y cuestionarios válidos para autoevaluar el nivel de desarrollo competencial y proceder, en el marco de los procesos de desarrollo profesional, a su mejora continuada.

The present work analyzes the use of the song as a didactic tool in the field of Primary Education, for which a study was carried out with a total of 128 general teachers of Primary Education (22.7% women) active in the Community. of Castilla y León in Spain, and without a specific musical training. The fundamental objective was to know the musical tools that they use in their classes (especially the song) according to the years of teaching experience. The main results show that music as a transversal tool is highly valued by generalist teachers in line with other research, although there are relevant differences in the use of the song according to the years of teaching experience, with veterans being the ones who use music the most. same. Finally, the causes that may have influenced the decrease in the use of songs as a didactic resource –traditionally considered highly useful and effective– are analyzed and some measures are proposed to enhance it.
