ABSTRACT
Evaluar el impacto del terremoto ocurrido el año 2007 sobre la tenencia y bienestar de los animales de compañía y de crianza de traspatio en tres distritos de la Provincia de Chincha, departamento de Ica-Perú. Metodología: Se desarrolló una encuesta que contenía datos demográficos y de tenencia de animales en el periodo pre y post desastre (2007 y 2012). Además, información de muertes y desapariciones post desastre. Resultados y Conclusiones: Se recolectaron 300 encuestas de las cuales 49% correspondió a Chincha Alta, 40% a Pueblo Nuevo y 11% a Tambo de Mora. El 49% de encuestados fueron varones y 51% mujeres. Según las encuestas, antes del terremoto existían 262 perros. De ellos, 27.9% (73) murieron en el desastre, 26% (68) desaparecieron y 46.1% (121) se encontraron vivos. Al momento de la encuesta, se reportó 150 animales, lo que indica una disminución de la población de perros del 42.7%. Respecto a los gatos, ante del terremoto existía 153 animales. De ellos, 24.2% (37) murieron en el desastre, 23.5% (36) desaparecieron y 52.3% (80) se encontraron vivos. Al momento de la encuesta, se reportó 95 animales, representando una disminución de la población del 37.9%. En ambos casos, la composición etárea varío significativamente (p < 0.05) entre lo encontrado antes del terremoto y la actualidad. En el caso de animales de traspatio, antes del terremoto se registró 777 animales, entre aves, porcinos, bovinos, cuyes, entre otros. De ellos 9.9% (77) murieron en el desastre, 5% (39) desaparecieron y 85.1% (661) se encontraron vivos. Se concluye que el terremoto del 2007 produjo un impacto negativo sobre la población de animales de compañía en la zona, afectando su número y composición etárea, situación que no se observó en los animales de traspatio...
To evaluate the impact of 2007 earthquake on tenure and welfare of pets and backyard breeding in three districts in the province of Chincha, Ica, Perú. Methods: We developed a survey containing demographic data, tenure of different types of animals during a pre-disaster period (2007) and now (2012), besides information on deaths and disappearances post disaster. Results and Conclusions: 300 surveys were collected, 49% corresponded to Chincha Alta, 40% to Pueblo Nuevo and 11% to Tambo de Mora. 49% respondents were male and 51% female. According to surveys, before the earthquake there were 262 dogs. 27.9% (73) died in the disaster, 26% (68) disappeared and 46.1% (121) were found alive. At the time of the survey, 150 animals were reported, which means dog population was decrease by 42.7%. Regarding cats, before the earthquake were 153 animals. 24.2% (37) died in the disaster, 23.5% (36) disappeared and 52.3% (80) were found alive. At the time of the survey, 95 animals were reported, representing a decrease by 37.9% in population. Both cases, age composition varied significantly (p < 0.05) between the findings before the earthquake and now. For backyard animals 777 animals were recorded before the earthquake, including birds, pigs, cattle, guinea pigs, among others. 9.9% (77) of them died in the disaster, 5% (39) disappeared and 85.1% (661) were found alive. In conclusion, the earthquake in 2007 had a negative impact on pet population in the area, affecting the number and age composition, which is not observed in backyard animals...

El 27 de febrero de 2010 ocurrió en Chile un terremoto de una magnitud de 8,3 grados de acuerdo al servicio sismológico chileno. Luego del terremoto, se generó un tsunami que golpeó en la costa chilena, destruyendo algunas poblaciones que previamente habían sido impactadas por el sismo. Las regiones más severamente afectadas por el evento fueron OHiggins, Maule, Bío Bío, Valparaíso, Santiago y Araucanía. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la presencia de factores de riesgo para los trastornos de estrés postraumático en los habitantes de 6 regiones chilenas. Se analizó una base de datos secundaria correspondiente a la Encuesta Post Terremoto (EPT 2010, Chile), La muestra de hogares fue de 22.456 y de 75.986 personas. Se realizaron análisis estadísticos descriptivos uni y bivariados e inferenciales multivariados con un nivel de significación de p<0,05. El modelo de regresión logística para la estimación de la variable estrés postraumático identificó como factores de riesgo para tener un score de screening positivo al hecho de pertenecer un hogar pobre, haber sufrido daños en la vivienda, haber tenido algún problema de salud en el último mes y ser mujer (p<0,05). También se encontró que el hecho de afrontar el evento sísmico en familia resultó como un factor protector en relación a afrontarlo con otros colectivos sociales (por ejemplo, vecinos), la mayor cantidad de años de educación formal también fue identificada como un factor de protección (p<0,05)...
In February 27th 2010, in Chile occurred an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.3 degrees according to Chilean Seismological Service. After the earthquake it have been generated a tsunami which destroyed some populations that had previously been impacted by the earthquake. The most affected regions by the event were O'Higgins, Maule, Bio Bio, Valparaíso, Santiago and Araucanía. The aim of this study was to assess the presence of risk factors for posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD) in the population of six Chilean regions. It was performed an analysis of the database corresponding to the Post Earthquake Survey (EPT 2010, Chile), the sample of households was 22,456 and 75,986 people. Statistical analysis was descriptive univariate and bivariate; and multivariate inferential statistics with a significance of p <0.05. The logistic regression model to estimate the variable PTSD identified as risk factors for a positive screening score to belong to a poor household, having a damaged house, have had any health problems in the last month and being female (p <0.05). It was also found that facing the seismic event in family as a protective factor in relation to coping with other social groups (eg neighbors), a greater amount of years of formal education was also identified as a protective factor (p <0.05)...

Background: Depression is a risk factorfor developing secondary post-traumatic stress disorder. The earthquake on February 27th, 2010, destroyed the Hospital of Curicó. Despite the prevailing chaos, patients in treatment for severe depression actively maintained their treatment from the first post-earthquake workingday Aim: To determine prevalence of acute stress (AS) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after the earthquake amongwomen in treatment for severe depression. Material and Methods: Seventy five women aged 20 to 73 years in treatment for depression for at least six months before the oceurrence of the earthquake, who continued in follow up after the event, were studied. According to the Tenth International Classification ofDiseases, thefrequency ofAS was assessed duringthe consultation oceurring one month after the event and thefrequency ofPTSD was assessed during the consultation oceurring six months after the event. Results: Fifty nine percent of women hadAS symptoms at thefirst month and 53.3% had PTSD, six months later. AS was signifi cantly associated with a low educational level. PTSD was significantly associated with prior oceurrence of AS and a history of childhood trauma history. Conclusions: A high frequeney ofPTSD was observed in thisgroup of depressive patients, which was significantly associated with a history ofprevious AS and childhood trauma.
