ABSTRACT
Introducción: La preservación de los profesionales sanitarios es siempre prioritaria, especialmente en situaciones de epidemia. Objetivo: Caracterizar a trabajadores de la salud que enfermaron de COVID-19 durante el ejercicio de su profesión. Métodos: Se efectuó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal de serie de casos, con recogida de la información en forma retrospectiva, en 12 trabajadores del Hospital Docente Infantil Sur Dr. Antonio María Béguez César de Santiago de Cuba, quienes se contagiaron del SARS-CoV-2 mientras realizaban sus funciones asistenciales en el primer semestre del año 2021. Resultados: En la serie predominaron el sexo femenino (91,7 %) y el grupo etario de 30 a 39 años (33,3 %); la mayoría de los trabajadores laboraban en los servicios de Miscelánea (41,7 %) y Microbiología (16,7 %) y fundamentalmente eran médicos. También sobresalieron los que no tenían antecedentes patológicos personales (66,7 %) y los que no mostraron complicación alguna asociada al proceso infeccioso. En cuanto a los factores de riesgo laboral, todos habían estado expuestos al virus y algunos habían tenido contacto con presuntos infectados o con pacientes que padecían la enfermedad. Entre los síntomas de la COVID-19 que les aquejaban resultaron más frecuentes la fiebre, la tos, la cefalea y el malestar general. Conclusiones: El bajo número de trabajadores que contrajo el coronavirus durante su desempeño asistencial en esa etapa se debió, en gran medida, a la eliminación de brechas en el cumplimiento de las normas de bioseguridad establecidas para la atención a los presuntos infectados por el SARS-CoV-2 y a los enfermos de la COVID-19, así como a las prácticas seguras del personal sanitario.
Introduction: The preservation of health professionals is always high-priority, especially in epidemic situations. Objective: To characterize health workers that got sick with COVID-19 during the exercise of their profession. Methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional serial cases study with retrospective collection of the information was carried out in 12 workers of Dr. Antonio María Béguez Cesar Southern Teaching Children Hospital in Santiago de Cuba who caught the SARS-CoV-2 while they carried out their assistance functions in the first semester of the year 2021. Results: In the series there was a prevalence of the female sex (91.7 %) and the 30 to 39 age group (33.3 %); most of the workers worked in the miscellany (41.7 %) and microbiology services (16.7 %) and they were mainly doctors. Those that didn't have personal pathological history were also notable (66.7 %) and those that didn't show any complication associated with the infectious process. As for the labor risk factors, all had been exposed to the virus and some had had contact with presumed infected or with patients that suffered from the disease. Among the symptoms of the COVID-19 that they suffered, fever, cough, migraine and diffuse discomfort were more frequent. Conclusions: The few number of workers that caught the coronavirus during their assistance performance in that phase was to a large extent due to the elimination of breaches in the execution of biosecurity norms established for the care to the presumed infected by the SARS-CoV-2 and to the sick persons of the COVID-19, as well as to the secure practices of the health staff.

Introducción: La administración de fluidos constituye uno de los pilares de tratamiento en pacientes que ingresan en Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos, en quienes la reanimación inadecuada y la sobrecarga de volumen empeoran el pronóstico. Objetivo: Caracterizar el estado de la administración de fluidos a pacientes ingresados en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos del Hospital General Docente Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola de Ciego de Ávila y su relación con la mortalidad. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo analítico y prospectivo de 147 pacientes ingresados en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos del Hospital General Docente Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola de Ciego de Ávila durante el primer semestre de 2020, para lo cual se evaluaron 598 pruebas de fluidos, algunas variables hemodinámicas y el balance de líquidos en las primeras 72 horas del ingreso. Resultados: El promedio de edad fue de 48,3 años, predominaron las mujeres (55,8 %), la puntuación de APACHE II al ingreso resultó ser de 14,2 puntos y fallecieron 22,4 % de los afectados. Para administrar fluidos prevaleció el criterio clínico (57,2%); mientras que la presión venosa central, la frecuencia cardíaca, la presión arterial media y la diuresis fueron similares en vivos y fallecidos. El balance acumulado de fluidos fue significativamente superior en el grupo de pacientes fallecidos (1984,70 mL vs 260mL). Conclusiones: Los cambios en los parámetros vitales después de administrar fluidos no fueron útiles para evaluar la respuesta al volumen. El balance acumulado de fluidos se relacionó de forma significativa con la mortalidad.
Introduction: Fluids administration constitutes one of the treatment pillars in patients admitted to Intensive Care Unit in which the inadequate reanimation and overload of volume worsen the prognosis. Objective: To characterize the state of fluid administration to patients admitted to the Intensive Cares Units of Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola Teaching General Hospital in Ciego de Ávila and its relationship with mortality. Methods: An analytic and prospective descriptive study of 147 patients admitted to the Intensive Cares Units of Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola Teaching General Hospital was carried out in Ciego de Ávila during the first semester of 2020, for which 598 tests of fluids, some hemodynamic variables and the balance of liquids were evaluated in the first 72 hours of admission. Results: The average age was 48.3 years, there was a prevalence of women (55.8 %), the punctuation of APACHE II at admission was 14.2 points and 22.4 % of those affected died. To administer fluids the clinical approach prevailed (57.2 %); while the central venous pressure, heart frequency, the mean arterial pressure and diuresis were similar in alive and dead patients. The accumulated balance of fluids was significantly higher in the group of dead patients (1984.70 mL vs 260 mL). Conclusions: The changes in the vital parameters after administering fluids were not useful to evaluate the response to the volume. The accumulated balance of fluids was related to mortality in a significant way.

Introducción: La endoftalmitis postraumática se define como una marcada inflamación de los fluidos y tejidos de las cavidades intraoculares, provocada por la invasión y replicación de microorganismos después de un traumatismo ocular a globo abierto, lo cual puede ocasionar la pérdida de la visión. Objetivo: Evaluar la efectividad de la terapia antibiótica sistémica precoz en pacientes con endoftalmitis postraumática. Métodos: Se efectuó un estudio cuasiexperimental de 72 pacientes con traumatismo ocular a globo abierto, ingresados en el Centro Oftalmológico del Hospital General Docente Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso de Santiago de Cuba, desde enero del 2017 hasta mayo del 2019. Se realizó un muestreo aleatorio simple; los pacientes se distribuyeron en 2 grupos: uno de control con 28 integrantes, a los cuales se le administró el tratamiento farmacológico habitual y otro de estudio con 44, quienes además de lo anterior recibieron terapia antibiótica sistémica. Resultados: Predominaron los pacientes masculinos, con edades entre 45 y 54 años (29,5 %); 72,7 % no mostraron antecedentes personales de interés y el trauma ocular ocurrió con más frecuencia en un ambiente rural (77,8 %). La zona 1 fue la más afectada (65,3 %); en 39,3 % de los pacientes la evolución del trauma fue menor de 6 horas, pero en el grupo que no recibió la terapéutica sistémica precoz y presentó endoftalmitis (10,7 %) este tiempo fue mayor, la reparación ocurrió tardíamente. Conclusiones: La terapia antibiótica sistémica precoz fue efectiva en la mayoría de los pacientes que recibieron este tratamiento contra la endoftalmitis postraumática.
Introduction: Postraumatic endophthalmitis is defined as a marked inflammation of the fluids and tissues of the intraocular cavities, caused by the invasion and replication of microorganisms after an ocular traumatism on open globe, that can cause loss of the vision. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the early systemic antibiotic therapy in patients with postraumatic endophthalmitis. Method: A quasi-experiment study of 72 patients with ocular traumatism on open globe was carried out, they were admitted in the Ophthalmologic Center of Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from January, 2017 to May, 2019. A simple random sampling was carried out; patients were distributed in 2 groups: one of control with 28 members, that received the habitual pharmacological treatment and a study group with 44 members who received systemic antibiotic therapy besides the above-mentioned. Results: Male patients prevailed, aged between 45 and 54 years (29.5 %); 72.7 % didn't show personal history of interest and the ocular trauma happened with more frequency in a rural atmosphere (77.8 %). The area 1 was the most affected (65.3 %); in 39.3 % of the patients the clínical course of trauma was less than 6 hours, but in the group that didn't receive the early systemic therapy and presented endophthalmitis (10,7 %) this time was higher, the repair happened belatedly. Conclusions: The early systemic antibiotic therapy was effective in most of the patients that received this treatment against the postraumatic endophthalmitis.

La promoción de la salud se concibe como el proceso que permite el control de la salubridad, mediante acciones que desarrollan potencialidades comunitarias, habilidades, destrezas y capacidades personales, modificando las condiciones ambientales y socioeconómicas que impactan en los determinantes de salud. Se desarrolló una investigación con el objetivo de realizar una revisión bibliográfica acerca del accionar de enfermería en la promoción de la salud en el segundo nivel de atención. Los autores indagaron en 213 fuentes de bases de datos científicas: Redalyc, Elsevier, Scopus, ProQuest, PubMed y Enfermería Global, durante el período 2019- 2020. Los hallazgos permitieron concluir que las acciones de enfermería más comunes se dirigen hacia las conductas modificables como: automotivación, autoestima, alimentación saludable y actividad física. Los correspondientes planes de cuidados deben fomentar el autocuidado y la prevención de enfermedades, con una tendencia a la estandarización.
Health promotion is conceived as the process that allows the control of health through actions that develop community potentialities, abilities, skills and personal capacities, modifying the environmental and socioeconomic conditions that impact the determinants of health. This study aimed to conduct a bibliographic review about nursing actions in health promotion at the second level of care. The authors investigated 213 sources of scientific databases: Redalyc, Elsevier, Scopus, ProQuest, PubMed, and Global Nursing, during the period 2019-2020. The findings allowed to conclude that the most common nursing actions are directed towards modifiable behaviors such as: self-motivation, self-esteem, healthy eating, and physical activity. The corresponding care plans should promote self-care and disease prevention, with a trend towards standardization.

Os residentes do Programa de Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde da Família (PRMSF) da Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR) atuam em um município da região Sul, sendo a Odontologia uma das áreas que compõem o programa. Esses possuem campo prático diversificado, estando inseridos tanto na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS), primeiro nível de atenção e coordenadora do cuidado, quanto na atenção secundária, atuando no serviço de cirurgia oral menor, inserido no Centro de Especialidades de Piraquara (CESP) no Paraná, uma vez que não há possibilidade de estruturação de um Centro de Especialidades Odontológicas (CEO). Dessa forma, é possível acompanhar o processo de referência e contra referência dos pacientes no serviço. Essa realidade também é observada em outras regiões do Brasil, consequência da falta de condições logísticas, estruturais e de recursos humanos, o que demanda aprimoramento do planejamento, orientação e consolidação de políticas públicas em saúde bucal. O objetivo desse estudo é relatar a experiência dos residentes cirurgiões-dentistas do PRMSF da UFPR em um Centro de Especialidades de um município da região metropolitana de Curitiba, capital do estado do Paraná, que mesmo não se qualificando nos parâmetros propostos pelo Ministério da Saúde brasileiro para implementação do CEO, apresentou a iniciativa de incorporar especialidades odontológicas mais urgentes para a população. Portanto, é importante o enfrentamento de problemas específicos, como ausência de levantamento epidemiológico municipal, tempo de espera, distância geográfica entre os serviços e comunicação entre profissionais da atenção básica e especializada (AU).
Residents of the Multiprofessional Residency Program in Family Health (MRPFH) at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) work in a city in the South region, where Dentistry is one of the areas included in the program. These have a diversified practical field, inserted both in Primary Health Care (PHC), first level of care and care coordinator;and in secondary care, working in the minor oral surgery serviceat the Piraquara Specialty Center (CESP) in Paraná, since there is no possibility of structuring a Center of Dental Specialties (CEO). Thus, it is possible to monitor the referral and counter-referral process of patients in the service. This reality is also observed in other Brazilian regions, as a result of the lack of logisticalandstructural conditions and human resources, which demands improvement in planning, guidance and consolidation of public policies in oral health. This study aimed to report the experience of dental professionals, residents of MRPFHat UFPR in a Specialty Center in a city in the metropolitan region of Curitiba, capital of the state of Paraná, which, despite not qualifying in the parameters proposed by the Brazilian Ministry of Healthfor the implementation of CEO, presented the initiative to incorporate the most urgent dental specialties for the population. Therefore, it is important to consider specific problems, such as the absence of a municipal epidemiological survey, waiting time, geographical distance between services and communication between primary and specialized care professionals (AU).

Abstract Objective to evaluate the decentralization of the Leprosy Control Program (LCP) in Governador Valadares. Method the theoretical and methodological framework was the Fourth Generation Evaluation, with a qualitative-participatory approach. The study involved 30 subjects divided into four groups: managers of the LCP; professionals of the Reference Center (RC); primary care professionals and users. Data were collected through interviews, using the Hermeneutic-Dialectic Circle technique. Subsequently, three workshops were held for data validation and negotiation. The Constant Comparative Method was used for the analysis. Results the maintenance of the vertical model of leprosy care was evidenced, sustained by social-historical-cultural determinants that are expressed in: the permanence of the gateway to spontaneous demand in the RC; the routine referral of the user to secondary care; the inefficiency of counter-reference; the centralization of multidrug therapy; the belief in the need for specialized care, and stigma. Weaknesses in the link with primary care were evidenced. Conclusion and implications for practice The sustainability of decentralization requires political and institutional involvement focused on strengthening primary care, reorienting the role of the services in the leprosy care network, and health education. The decentralization of the LCP involves tension between the actors of each health care point, generating disputes of knowledge and health practices.

Objetivo:Fazer uma revisão integrativa a respeito do atendimento de pacientes com necessidades especiais (PNE) em Centros de Especialidades Odontológicas (CEO) no Brasil. Métodos: Para as buscas nas bases eletrônicas PubMed, BBO e LILACS, e Google Scholar, foram utilizados em português, espanhol e inglês, os descritores e termos livres: "pessoas com deficiência", "pessoa com necessidade especial", "pessoa com incapacidade", odontologia, "atenção secundária à saúde", "atenção secundária", "centro de especialidades odontológicas", CEO, "disabled persons", handicapped, "people with disabilities", dentistry, "secondary care", "dental specialty center" ,"secondary care centers", "personas con discapacidad", "atención secundaria de salud" e "centro de especialidad dental". Não foi feita restrição quanto ao idioma, mas o período consultado foi de 2016 a 2021. Incialmente foram excluídas as duplicatas, em seguida os textos cujos títulos e resumos não estivessem de acordo com os critéios de inclusão. Uma vez eleitos os textos a serem incluídos após leitura na íntegra, foi feita a extração dos dados de interesse: autor (ano), tipo de estudo, caracterização da amostra, local, objetivo, resultados principais e conclusão. A análise da qualidade metodológica e do risco de viés dos estudos foi feita por meio da ferramenta Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies do Effective Public Health Practice Project. Resultados: De 383 estudos, cinco foram incluídos. As barreiras mencionadas que dificultam o acesso dos PNE aos CEO se referiram a questões socioeconômicas e demográficas, localização dos CEO, escassez de recursos financeiros, limitações para acessibilidade e qualificaçao profissional deficitária para a prestação dos atendimentos. A qualidade metodológica foi considerada fraca em todos os estudos, o que indica alto risco de viés. Conclusão: Mesmo com a evolução gradativa do atendimento dos PNE nos CEO, ainda há aprimoramentos necessários, tanto em relação à qualificação dos profissionais para que tenham conhecimento e manejo para realizar os atendimentos seguindo os protocolos necessários, quanto à melhoria do acesso para esses pacientes.
Aim: To conduct an integrative review regarding the care provided to patients with special needs (PSN) in Dental Specialty Centers (DSCs) in Brazil. Methods: To perform searches in the PubMed, BBO and LILACS, and Google Scholar electronic databases, the following descriptors and free terms were used, in three languages of Portuguese, Spanish, and English: "pessoas com deficiência", "pessoa com necessidade especial", "pessoa com incapacidade", odontologia, "atenção secundária à saúde", "atenção secundária", "centro de especialidades odontológicas", CEO, "disabled persons", handicapped, "people with disabilities", dentistry, "secondary care", "dental specialty center" ,"secondary care centers", "personas con discapacidad", "atención secundaria de salud" e "centro de especialidad dental". No language restriction was made, but the period consulted was from 2016 to 2021. First, duplicates were excluded. After, texts whose titles and abstracts did not comply with the inclusion criteria were also excluded. Once the included texts had been chosen, and after reading them in full, the data of interest was extracted: author (year), type of study, sample characterization, location, objective, main results, and conclusion. The Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies of the Effective Public Health Practice Project was used to analyze the methodological quality and risk of bias found in the studies. Results: Of the 383 studies, five were included. The barriers that make it difficult for PSNs to access DSCs are related to socioeconomic and demographic issues, the location of DSCs, the scarcity of financial resources, limitations in accessibility, and deficient professional qualification to provide proper care. Methodological quality was considered weak in all studies (100%), with a high risk of bias. Conclusion: Even with the gradual evolution of the care provided to PSNs in DSCs, improvements are still necessary, both in relation to the qualification of professionals so that they have the knowledge and handling necessary to perform the care following the necessary protocols, as well as the improvement of access for these patients.

Abstract Objective: To analyze patients' pain perception requiring endodontic treatment referred to a Dental Specialties Center. Material and Methods: Data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire for patients about their experience of pain and another for endodontists about the treatment performed. The results were analyzed descriptively using Pearson's Chi-square test and Fisher's Exact test, with Bonferroni correction (p≤0.05). Results: The median age of the patients was 39 years, and 71.1% were female. The median waiting time for treatment was five months. Pain was reported by 75.2% of patients, occurred more than one month earlier (63.6%), with moderate/severe intensity (66.9%), and most patients sought emergency treatment more than once (79.1%). In addition, pain was associated with sex (female; p=0.008); moderate/severe intensity (p<0.001); the number of times that patient had to go to the dentist because of the tooth treatment (twice or more; p=0.002); and type of tooth treated (posterior tooth; p=0.002). Conclusion: Severe pain episodes resulted in a repeated search for emergency services, which may overload the primary care service, especially if the waiting time for endodontic treatment is long.

Resumo O mapeamento dos comportamentos frente ao uso de medicamentos informa as condições pelas quais um tratamento farmacológico é implementado. A localização da adesão à medicação como um problema clínico, evoca, no entanto, lugares bem demarcados quanto aos procedimentos para sua explicação e resolução. Nesse sentido, este trabalho busca problematizar os elementos fundantes do estudo da adesão à medicação, considerando que tal prática é hegemonicamente assimilada apenas por parâmetros científicos e biológicos, sem a inclusão de uma abordagem direcionada às especificidades históricas e culturais dos pacientes. Transferem-se, assim, a primazia da delimitação e a explicação da realidade ao próprio analista. Porém, o trabalho de campo demonstrou uma diversidade de posturas e agenciamentos quanto ao uso dos medicamentos, capaz de indicar que a geografia do cuidado não se orienta apenas a partir de um percurso linear, mas se apoia em espaços ambulantes e itinerantes, instalando-se em um campo paradoxal que mescla reprodução e criação.
Abstract The mapping of behaviors towards the use of medicines informs the conditions under which a pharmacological treatment is implemented. However, the location of medication adherence as a clinical problem evokes well-demarcated place as to the procedures for its explanation and resolution. In this sense, this work aims to problematize the founding elements of the study of medication adherence, considering that such practice is hegemonically assimilated only by scientific and biological parameters, without the inclusion of an approach directed to the patients' historical and cultural specificities. In this way, the primacy of delimitation and explanation of reality is transferred to the analyst. However, the field work showed a diversity of attitudes and management of medicines, capable of indicating that the geography of care is not oriented only from a linear path, but is supported by wandering and itinerant spaces, installing in a paradoxical field that mixes reproduction and creation.

Introducción: la enfermedad del hígado graso no alcohólico (EHGNA) tiene graves implicaciones para la salud y, asociada a la epidemia de obesidad, es una tendencia creciente. Objetivo: detectar la presencia de hígado graso en niños con sobrepeso y obesidad, así como evaluar los factores asociados con una mayor posibilidad de presentar un resultado positivo en la detección. Metódos: se realizó un estudio de tipo transversal en una unidad médica del segundo nivel de atención médica en el que fueron reclutados 102 niños. Los niveles séricos de alanina aminotransferasa (ALT) fueron cuantificados y se realizaron ecografías hepáticas. Modelos de regresión logística múltiple fueron utilizados para evaluar los factores asociados con la presencia de EHGNA (infiltración grasa en la ecografía y ALT > 52U/L para niños y > 44 U/L para niñas). Resultados: la prevalencia de EHGNA fue del 10,8%. En el análisis multivariante, una relación entre cintura y cadera ≥ 1 se asoció con una mayor posibilidad de EHNGA (razón de momios (RM) = 4.96, IC del 95%: 1.17 - 20.90). Conclusiones: nuestros hallazgos indican que uno de cada diez niños sobrepeso y obesidad tiene datos sugestivos de EHGNA y está en riesgo de presentar sus consecuencias para la salud.
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has serious health implications and upward trends of the disease, accompanied by the obesity epidemic worldwide. Objective: To screen for fatty liver in overweight and obese children and evaluate the factors associated with an increased likelihood of presenting a positive-screen result. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 102 children were recruited at a secondary care medical unit. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were quantified and hepatic ultrasounds were performed; multiple logistic regression models were used to evaluate factors associated with the increased odds of presenting with NAFLD (fatty infiltration on ultrasound and ALT > 52 U/L for boys and > 44 U/L for girls). Results: The overall prevalence of NAFLD was 10.8%. In multivariate analysis, a waist-to-hip ratio ≥ 1 was associated with increased odds of screening positive for NAFLD (odds ratio (OR) = 4.96, 95% CI 1.17-20.90). Conclusions: Our findings indicate that one out of ten children with overweight or obesity has data suggestive of NAFLD and is at risk of presenting its consequences on health.

Introducción: la calidad de la atención puede medirse por la satisfacción del paciente por la atención recibida, por lo que es necesaria una escala rápida validada que la evalúe en los servicios de urgencias. Objetivo: crear y validar la Escala Rápida de Satisfacción del Paciente de Urgencias (ERSAPUR). Material y métodos: estudio de proceso, longitudinal, para evaluar la nueva escala de satisfacción en urgencias, en una unidad de segundo nivel de atención. Fase I: 10 expertos en calidad de atención y en urgencias elaboraron la ERSAPUR, que obtuvo acuerdo en redacción por 20 usuarios consecutivos. Fase II: con consentimiento informado, se aplicaron la ERSAPUR y la Encuesta de Satisfacción del Servicio de Urgencias del Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge de Barcelona en pacientes atendidos en urgencias, mayores de 18 años; se excluyeron los pacientes con enfermedad psiquiátrica, retraso mental, encefalopatía y no hispanohablantes. Se reaplicó la ERSAPUR telefónicamente 7 a 10 días después. Se utilizó para consistencia interna, alfa de Cronbach; para validez concurrente, rho de Spearman, y para prueba-reprueba el coeficiente de correlación intraclase (CCI), la p ≤ 0.05 se consideró significativa. Resultados: se encuestó a un total de 260 pacientes. La satisfacción mayor fue por la atención de médicos y enfermería, y la mayor insatisfacción por limpieza y tiempo de espera, alfa de Cronbach = 0.873, Spearman = 0.654, CCI = 0.75 (p ≤ 0.01). Conclusiones: la ERSAPUR es válida, consistente y útil para evaluar rápidamente la calidad de la atención en Urgencias.
Background: Quality of attention is assessed through patient´s satisfaction about attention received. A validated fast scale to asses it in emergency medical services is necessary. Aim: To design and validate the Patient Satisfaction at Emergency Services Scale (ERSAPUR). Methods: Longitudinal, process study to assess the new satisfaction scale at Emergency room in a second level attention unit. PHASE I: ERSAPUR was designed by 10 quality and emergencies attention experts; redaction was approved by 20 patients consecutively. PHASE II: After written consent, ERSAPUR and Encuesta de Satisfacción del Servicio de Urgencias del Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge de Barcelona scales were applied to patients attended at emergency room, more than18 years-old. Those patients with psychiatric disease, mental handicap or non-spanish parlor were excluded. ERSAPUR was reapplied by phone 7-10 days later. Cronbach´s alpha was used for internal fiability, Spearman´s rho for convergent validity, and Intraclass correlational coefficient (CCI) for test-retest; p ≤ 0.05 was considered significant Results: 260 patients answered both scales. Medical and nurses cares produced the highest satisfaction. Clean and waiting time produced the highest dissatisfaction. Cronbach´s Alpha = 0.873, Spearman´s rho = 0.654, CCI = 0.75 (p ≤ 0.01). Conclusion: ERSAPUR is a valid and fiable scale, and it´s a useful instrument to assess the quality of attention in Emergency room services.

Introducción: Las infecciones respiratorias agudas abarcan entre 20 y 40 % del total de todas las hospitalizaciones y 20 - 34 % de las muertes en menores de 5 años de edad, fundamentalmente a expensas de neumonía. Objetivo: Describir aspectos epidemiológicos, clínicos y microbiológicos en pacientes menores de 5 años con neumonía bacteriana. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 39 pacientes con neumonía y aislamientos bacterianos en hemocultivos, líquido pleural y/o exudados nasofaringeos, ingresados en el Hospital Infantil Docente Sur Antonio María Béguez Cesar de Santiago de Cuba, desde enero de 2018 hasta diciembre de 2019. Se analizaron variables de interés, tales como edad, sexo, factores de riesgo, sintomatología y cultivos microbiológicos. Se utilizaron la frecuencia absoluta y el porcentaje como medidas de resumen. Resultados: Prevalecieron los pacientes entre 1 - 4 años de edad, el sexo femenino y los hemocultivos con estafilococos coagulasa negativo, así como neumococos, estos últimos también aislados en exudados nasofaríngeos. Los factores de riesgo más frecuentes fueron infección respiratoria aguda previa, uso anticipado de antibióticos, asistencia a círculo infantil, supresión precoz de lactancia materna, fiebre, tos, tiraje y alteraciones del murmullo vesicular. Predominaron la insuficiencia respiratoria aguda y el derrame pleural como complicaciones. Se notificó más gravedad en los lactantes y ocurrieron 2 decesos, para una letalidad de 1,47 %. Conclusiones: La conjunción de factores de riesgo detectados, la baja positividad de los cultivos, la identificación de bacterias prevalentes en hemocultivos y el descenso de la letalidad resultaron de interés en el estudio.
Introduction: Acute respiratory infections take in between 20 and 40 % of all the hospitalizations and 20 - 34% of deaths in children under 5 years, fundamentally at the expense of pneumonia. Objective: To describe epidemiologic, clinical and microbiologic aspects in patients under 5 years with bacterial pneumonia. Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 39 patients with pneumonia and bacterial isolations in hemocultures, pleural fluid and/or nasopharyngeal swabs was carried out. They were admitted to Antonio María Béguez Cesar Southern Teaching Children Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from January, 2018 to December, 2019. Variables of interest were analyzed, such as age, sex, risk factors, symptomatology and microbiologic cultures. The absolute frequency and the percentage as summary measures were used. Results: There was a prevalence of patients among 1 - 4 years, female sex and the hemocultures with negative coagulase staphylococcu, as well as pneumococus, these last ones also isolated in nasopharingeal swabs. The most frequent risk factors were previous acute respiratory infection, premature use of antibiotics, attendance to day care center, early suppression of breastfeeding, fever, cough, tirage and changes of the vesicular breath sound. The acute respiratory failure and pleural effusion as complications prevailed. More seriousness was notified in infants and there were 2 deaths, for a letality of 1.47 %. Conclusions: The combination of detected risk factors, low positivity of the cultures, identification of bacterias prevalents in hemocultures and the decrease of letality was of interest in the study.

Introducción: los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica (ERC), y en específico los que tienen tratamiento renal sustitutivo (TRS), se ven afectados en su ciclo circadiano y en su calidad del sueño. Objetivo: evaluar la calidad del sueño de los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica que acuden al servicio de Nefrología de una unidad médica de segundo nivel de atención. Metodología: estudio comparativo en pacientes con ERC del servicio de Nefrología, clasificados en tres grupos, dos de ellos en terapia de reemplazo renal (diálisis peritoneal y hemodiálisis) y uno sin terapia de reemplazo renal (prediálisis). Para la calidad del sueño se utilizó la escala de Pittsburgh, se incluyeron datos sociodemográficos y parámetros bioquímicos. Los datos se analizaron median- te comparación de frecuencias con Chi cuadrada, medias con t de Student y ANOVA de un factor. Resultados: se formaron tres grupos: hemodiálisis (n = 75), diálisis peritoneal (n = 58) y prediálisis (n = 71). La edad media fue de 53.5 años; la calidad subjetiva del sueño fue buena en el 48% del total y en el 54.9% de los pacientes en prediálisis (p < 0.05). Al aplicar la escala de Pittsburgh, el 80.4% del total y el 84.5% de los pacientes en diálisis reportaron una calidad de sueño mala. De las siete dimensiones evaluadas, dos fueron diferentes en los tres grupos (p < 0.05). Conclusiones: la percepción del paciente sobre la calidad del sueño habitualmente se sobreestima, lo que indica una adaptación a un sueño ineficiente. Debido a las características de estos pacientes es importante mantener un control de sus parámetros bioquímicos, que también tienen un impacto en la calidad del sueño.
Introduction: In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and specifically with renal replacement therapy (RRT), their circadian cycle and consequently their sleep quality are affected. Objective: To evaluate the quality of sleep in patients with chronic kidney disease attends at the nephrology service. Methods: Comparative study in patients with chronic kidney disease from the nephrology service classified into three groups, two of them had renal replacement therapy (peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis) and one without renal replacement therapy (predialysis). For the quality of sleep we used the Pittsburgh Scale, sociodemographic data and biochemical parameters were included. Comparison of frequencies with chi-square, means with Student's t and Anova of one factor. Results: Three groups were formed: hemodialysis (n = 75), peritoneal dialysis (n = 58) and predialysis (n = 71). The mean age was 53.5 years; the subjective quality of sleep was "good" in 48.0% of the total and in 54.9% of predialysis patients (p <0.05). When applying the Pittsburgh scale, 80.4% of the total and 84.5 of the dialysis patients reported a "poor" quality of sleep. Of the seven dimensions evaluated, two were different in the three groups (p < 0.05) Conclusions: The patient's perception of the quality of sleep is regularly overestimated, which indicates an adaptation to this dream habit. Due to the characteristics of these patients, it is important to keep a check on their biochemical parameters, which also have an impact on the quality of sleep.

Introducción: una alternativa para mitigar los efectos del virus de inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) es la medicina complementaria, alternativa o integrativa (MCAI); sin embargo, esta puede tener una influencia negativa en los pacientes con VIH. Objetivo: estimar la relación entre la carga viral y el uso de MCAI en pacientes con VIH/SIDA. Metodología: estudio analítico con 232 pacientes de la clínica de VIH/SIDA de una unidad médica de segundo nivel de atención en Cancún, México. Previo consentimiento informado, a cada paciente se le aplicó un cuestionario para identificar el uso de la MCAI y simultáneamente se obtuvo el conteo de carga viral y el CD4 del expediente electrónico. Resultados: el 47.8% utilizaron herbolaria como tratamiento alternativo. No se encontró diferencia estadística entre la utilización de herbolaria y su conteo de carga viral (p > 0.646). La terapia cuerpo-mente, los suplementos vitamínicos, la homeopatía y la acupuntura se usaron del 5 al 24.6%, sin diferencia estadística (p > 0.05) entre los grupos. Por el contrario, el uso de sesiones de manipulación del cuerpo mostró diferencia en relación con quienes no las utilizaban (p < 0.05). Conclusiones: es importante que el profesional de la salud identifique los efectos adversos o benéficos de las terapias alternativas y complementarias, con la finalidad de orientar a sus pacientes y no afectar su tratamiento antirretroviral y, en consecuencia, su conteo de carga viral.
Introduction: An alternative to mitigate the effects of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM); however, this could have a negative influence in patients with HIV. Objective: To estimate the relationship between viral load and the use of CAM in patients with HIV/AIDS. Method: Analytical study with 232 patients from the HIV/AIDS Clinic of a second-level healthcare unit in Cancun, Mexico. With prior informed consent, a questionnaire was administered to each patient to identify the use of CAM, and, simultaneously, the viral load and CD4 counts were obtained from their electronic file. Results: 47.8% used herbal medicine as an alternative treatment. No statistical difference was found between the use of herbal products and their viral load (p > 0.646). Body-mind therapy, vitamin supplements, homeopathy and acupuncture were used from 5 to 24.6% without statistical difference (p > 0.05) among groups. However, the use of massage therapy showed a difference in relation to those who did not use it (p < 0.05). Conclusions: It is important that health professionals identify the adverse or beneficial effects of alternative and complementary therapies, so that they can guide their patients and not affect their antiretroviral treatment and, consequently, their viral load.

Introducción: las infecciones de las vías urinarias relacionadas con la instalación de catéter vesical son de las infecciones asociadas a la atención sanitaria más comunes en México y el mundo. Representan un riesgo latente para el desarrollo de complicaciones y pueden ocasionar la muerte. Objetivo: analizar los factores de riesgo que se asocian directamente a la infección del tracto urinario en la instalación del catéter vesical. Metodología: estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal, con muestra de 90 pacientes de un hospital de segundo nivel de atención en el que se identificaron los factores de riesgo de infección de vías urinarias asociadas a la instalación de sonda vesical. Resultados: se observó un tipo de cumplimiento de los indicadores de calidad durante la instalación de sonda vesical con frecuencia en el 52.22% de los participantes. Un tipo de cumplimiento con frecuencia en el 48.90% de los participantes durante el mantenimiento de la sonda vesical, y un tipo de cumplimiento con frecuencia del 47.78% al momento del retiro de la sonda. Los principales factores de riesgo identificados asociados a la infección del tracto urinario fueron: a) que la sonda sea instalada por un médico interno, b) una estancia mayor a 3 días en urgencias y c) que la sonda sea instalada por una enfermera general. Conclusiones: se encontraron indicadores de cumplimiento cercano al 50%, lo que se considera muy bajo en la medición de los indicadores de calidad durante la instalación, mantenimiento y retiro de la sonda vesical, incluso estos están por debajo del porcentaje nacional.
Introduction: Urinary tract infections related to the installation of a bladder catheter are the most common infections associated with health care in Mexico and the world. They represent a latent risk for the development of complications and can cause death. Objective: To analyze the risk factors that are directly associated with urinary tract infection in the installation of the bladder catheter. Methods: Observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study; with a sample of 90 patients from a second-level care hospital in which the risk factors for urinary tract infection associated with the installation of a urinary catheter were identified. Results: A type of compliance with the quality indicators was observed during the urinary catheter installation with a frequency of 52.22% of the participants. A type of compliance with a frequency of 48.90% of the participants during the maintenance of the urinary catheter, and a type of compli- ance with a frequency of 47.78% at the time of catheter removal. The main risk factors identified associated with urinary tract infection were: a) that the catheter is installed by an intern, b) a stay of more than 3 days in the emergency room, and c) that the catheter is installed by a general nurse. Conclusions: Compliance indicators were found close to 50%, which is considered very low in the measurement of quality indicators during the installation, maintenance and removal of the urinary catheter, even these are below the national percentage.
