RESUMO

Resumen: Objetivo: Evaluar la cobertura de atención del parto eutócico en Unidad Centinela (UC), de primer nivel de atención. Verificar el cumplimento de lo establecido en el modelo e identificar los factores que impiden o favorecen su uso, desde la perspectiva de los prestadores de salud y de las usuarias. Materiales y métodos: Estudio con un componente cuantitativo y uno cualitativo, retrospectivo, con información de bases primarias y secundarias. Variable principal: Atención del parto eutócico, Análisis: Descriptivo, porcentajes para variables categóricas y promedios δ para variables continuas, diferencias estadísticas entre dos variables categóricas, Chi2 de Pearson. Multivariado: Regresión logística de factores asociados a la atención del parto. Se realizaron 12 entrevistas semiestructuradas a usuarias y 8 prestadores de servicios, el análisis se realizó con base en la Teoría Fundamentada a través de Ethnograph v.5. Resultados: Muestra: 218 usuarias, edad promedio fue 24.7 años. La UC proporcionó control prenatal, el 61% más de 5 consultas; sin embargo, la atención de partos eutócicos solamente fue de 17 partos (33.4%). Las barreras más importantes referidas por las usuarias y prestadores de salud fueron: falta de personal, capacitación, insumos, apoyo insuficiente y protección legal institucional en caso de complicaciones. Conclusiones: La UC es una estrategia para regresar la atención de partos al primer nivel de atención, pero es necesario implementar un plan de mejora y fortalecimiento de los proveedores.

Abstract: Objective: Evaluate the coverage of eutocic delivery care in the Sentinel Unit (UC), of the first level of care, verify compliance with what is established in the model and identify the factors that prevent or favor its use, from the perspective of the providers of health and users. Materials and methods: Qualitative and quantitative study, retrospective with information on the primary and secondary bases. Main variable: care of eutocic delivery. Analysis: Descriptive, percentages for categorical variables and δ means for continuous variables, statistical differences between two categorical variables, Pearson Chi2. Multivariate: logistic regression of factors associated with delivery care. Twelve semi-structured interviews were conducted with users and 8 service providers, the analysis was carried out based on Grounded Theory through Ethnograph v.5. Results: Sample: 218 users, average age was 24.7 years. The UC provided prenatal control, 61% more than 5 consultations; however, the care of eutocic deliveries was only 17 deliveries (33.4%). The most important barriers referred to by the users and health providers were: lack of personnel, training, supplies and insufficient support and institutional legal protection in case of complications. Conclusions: UC is a strategy to return delivery care to the first level of care, but it is necessary to implement a plan to improve and strengthen providers.

RESUMO

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) continue to be the leading cause of death worldwide. Over the past couple of years and with the surge of the COVID-19 pandemic, mortality from CVDs has been slightly overshadowed by those due to COVID-19, although it was during the peak of the pandemic. In the present study, patients with CVDs (CVDs; n = 41,883) were analyzed to determine which comorbidities had the largest impact on overall patient mortality due to their association with both diseases (n = 3,637). Obesity, hypertension, and diabetes worsen health in patients diagnosed positive for COVID-19. Hence, they were included in the overview of all patients with CVD. Our findings showed that 1,697 deaths were attributable to diabetes (p < 0.001) and 987 deaths to obesity (p < 0.001). Lastly, 2,499 deaths were attributable to hypertension (p < 0.001). Using logistic regression modeling, we found that diabetes (OR: 1.744, p < 0.001) and hypertension (OR: 2.179, p < 0.001) significantly affected the mortality rate of patients. Hence, having a CVD diagnosis, with hypertension and/or diabetes, seems to increase the likelihood of complications, leading to death in patients diagnosed positive for COVID-19.

RESUMO

OBJETIVO: Explorar las experiencias y percepciones de la calidad de vida (CV) en cuidadores familiares (CF) de personas con discapacidad intelectual (PDI) en Morelos y Sinaloa, México. Material y métodos. Estudio cualitativo. Se realizaron 18 entrevistas semiestructuradas a CF de PDI que asistían a escuelas básicas públicas en Huitzilac, Morelos y Culiacán, Sinaloa, México. Se realizó análisis de contenido con apoyo del programa ATLAS.ti.8.0. RESULTADOS: Los CF experimentaron un deterioro en distintas dimensiones: bienestar emocional, físico y material, desarrollo personal, autodeterminación y relaciones interpersonales, deterioro que afecta negativamente su CV. Los lazos de empatía, acompañamiento y motivación con otros CF son beneficiosos y los libera de actividades por lapsos breves, disminuyendo así la carga del cuidado de una PDI. CONCLUSIONES: Cuidar a una PDI puede afectar negativamente la CV de las y los CF. Se sugiere el desarrollo de intervenciones para atención, apoyo y orientación integral; asimismo, crear y fortalecer grupos de ayuda mutua con otros cuidadores.

RESUMO

Purpose: Currently, information on the psychometric properties of the Medical outcomes study-social support survey (MOS-SSS) for patients with chronic disease in primary health care, suggests problems in the dimensionality, specifically predominant unidimensionality in a multidimensional measure. The aim of this study was to determine the internal structure (dimensionality, measurement invariance and reliability) and association with other variables. Methods: A total of 470 patients with chronic disease from a Family Medicine Unit at the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, IMSS, with a mean age of 51.51 years were included. Participants responded to the Questionnaire of Sociodemographic Variables (Q-SV), SF-36 Health-Related Quality of Life Scale-version 1.1, and MOS-SSS. Results: Non-parametric (Mokken scaling analysis) and parametric (confirmatory factor analysis) analyses indicated unidimensionality, and three-factor model was not representative. A new 8-item version (MOS-S) was developed, where measurement invariance, equivalence with the long version, reliability, and relationship with the SF-36 were satisfactory. Conclusion: The MOS-SSS scale is unidimensional, and the shortened version yields valid and reliable scores for measuring social support in patients with chronic disease at the primary health care.

Abstract: Objective: Estimate the prevalence of intimate partner violence by sex and the association with tobacco, alcohol, and drugs use in Mexico. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study of the 2016 National Survey on Drug, Alcohol, and Tobacco Consumption included 34 861 people aged 12 to 65 years old. Logistic regression models were estimated obtaining odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Results: The prevalence of intimate partner violence was 15.14%, 18.16% in women, and 11.89% in men. The factors associated were: binge drinking (OR:1.64; 95%CI 1.38-1.96), tobacco consumption (OR: 1.71; 95%CI 1.42-2.07), use of psychotropic drugs without a prescription (OR:3.72; 95%CI 1.76-7.88) and marijuana use (OR: 3.06; 95%CI 1.58-5.91). Conclusions: The findings support the need to implement multisectoral interventions and strengthen psychosocial competencies to improve the quality and access to mental health and addiction services in Mexico.

RESUMO

Objetivo. Resumir la evidencia científica sobre efectos maternos y neonatales del Covid-19 durante el embarazo. Material y métodos. Se realizó una revisión rápida Cochrane y un metaanálisis de proporciones y razones de momios (RM). Resultados. Los eventos maternos más comunes fueron la ventilación mecánica invasiva y admisión a la unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI); las complicaciones del embarazo fueron el sufrimiento fetal y la ruptura prematura de membranas; las comorbilidades fueron la obesidad y el asma. Las cesáreas indicadas por Covid-19 fueron frecuentes (51%). Los eventos neonatales comunes fueron bajo peso y prematuridad; se identificaron neonatos SARS-CoV-2 posi-tivos (14%). Las embarazadas con Covid-19 experimentaron más cesáreas (RM combinada=6.7) y partos pretérmino (RM combinada=2.9); los neonatos experimentaron más admisio-nes a la UCI neonatal (RM combinada=5.9). Conclusión. La evidencia sobre los efectos adversos del Covid-19 durante el embarazo es limitada. No se pueden descartar riesgos a la salud del binomio, particularmente debido a las cesáreas y prematuridad.

Abstract: Objective: To summarize the scientific evidence of adverse health effects of Covid-19 during pregnancy. Materials and methods We conducted a Cochrane rapid review. Meta-analysis of proportions and odds ratios (OR) were performed. Results: Frequent maternal events included invasive mechanic ventilation and admission to the intensive care unit (ICU); pregnancy complications were fetal distress and premature rupture of membranes; common comorbidities were obesity and asthma. Deliveries by cesarean section (C-section) due to Covid-19 were frequent (51%). The most frequent neonatal outcomes were low birthweight and prematurity; we identified cases of SARS-CoV-2 positive neonates (14%). Pregnant women with Covid-19 were more likely to deliver by C-section (pooled OR=6.7) and prematurely (pooled OR=2.9); neonates were more likely to be admitted to the neonatal ICU (pooled OR=5.9). Conclusion: The available evidence on Covid-19 during pregnancy is limited. Therefore, we cannot disregard adverse health effects on the mother-child pair, particularly those related to C-sections and premature deliveries.

RESUMO

Quality of life (QOL) is a key aspect of the health care process for children with chronic diseases and their families. Although clinical evidence regarding the impact of chronic disease on children exists, few studies have evaluated the effects of the interaction between sociodemographic and psychosocial factors on the family caregiver's QOL, indicating a significant gap in the research literature. The present study aimed to identify the predictors of the QOL of parents of children with chronic diseases. Three parental sociodemographic predictors (age, schooling, and family income) and four psychosocial predictors (family functioning, social support, depression, and resilience) were examined. In this cross-sectional study, 416 parents of children with chronic diseases who were hospitalized at a National Institute of Health in Mexico City were interviewed. The participants completed a sociodemographic variables questionnaire (Q-SV) designed for research on family caregivers of children with chronic disease. The predicted variable was assessed through the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire. The four psychosocial predictors were assessed through the Family Functioning Scale, Social Support Networks Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, and Measurement Scale of Resilience. The regression model explained 42% of the variance in parents' QOL. The predictors with positive weights included age, schooling, monthly family income, family functioning, social support networks, and parental resilience. The predictors with negative weights included depression. These findings suggest that strong social relationships, a positive family environment, family cohesion, personal resilience, low levels of depression, and a family income twice the minimum wage are variables associated with better parental QOL.

RESUMO

Currently, information about the psychometric properties of the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) in family caregivers of children with cancer is not available; thus, there is no empirical evidence of its validity and reliability to support its use in this population in Mexico or in other countries. This study examined the psychometric properties of the BAI in family caregivers of children with cancer and pursued four objectives: to determine the factor structure of the BAI, estimate its internal consistency reliability, describe the distribution of BAI scores and the level of anxiety in the sample and test its concurrent validity in relation to depression and resilience. This cross-sectional study was carried out with convenience sampling. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the BAI, the Beck Depression Inventory and the Measurement Scale of Resilience were administered to an incidental sample of 445 family caregivers of children with cancer hospitalized at the National Institute of Health in Mexico City. Confirmatory factor analysis using the maximum likelihood method was performed to determine the factor structure and exploratory factor analysis using axis factorization with oblique rotation was conducted. The two-, three- and four-factor models originally proposed for the BAI did not hold. The exploratory factor analysis showed a model of two correlated factors (physiological and emotional symptoms). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a lack of discriminant validity between these two factors and supported a single-factor model. The internal consistency of the scale reduced to 11 items (BAI-11) was good (alpha = 0.89). The distribution of BAI-11 scores was skewed to the left. High levels of symptoms of anxiety were present in 49.4% of caregivers. The scale was positively correlated with depression and negatively correlated with resilience. These findings suggest that a reduced single-factor version of the BAI is valid for Mexican family caregivers of children with cancer.
