Conocimientos y Actitudes sobre donación de órganos en estudiantes de Ciencias de Salud en una Universidad Nacional de Lambayeque. 2019 / Knowledge and Attitudes about organ donation in students of Health Sciences from a National University of Lambayeque - 2019

Objetivo: Determinar el nivel de conocimientos y actitudes sobre la donación de órganos y xenotrasplante en estudiantes de una Universidad Nacional de Lambayeque. Métodos: El muestreo realizado fue probabilístico de tipo aleatorio simple y la muestra estuvo conformada por 100 estudiantes Universitarios. Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal para evaluar los niveles de conocimiento y actitudes sobre la donación de órganos. Se aplicó una encuesta de 20 preguntas tipo clave dicotómica. Resultados: Se entrevistaron a 53 mujeres (53,0%) y 47 (47,0%) hombres. Se observó que el 76% no conocen sobre la Ley de Promoción de Donación Solidaria de Órganos y Tejidos Humanos en el Perú. Así mismo el 96% conocen los órganos y tejidos que se pueden donar, el 61% de los estudiantes han conversado sobre el tema de donación de órganos con su familia. El 76% estaría dispuesto a donar sus órganos o tejidos después de la vida, y el 88% donaría los órganos de sus familiares para salvar la vida de otro familiar. Conclusiones: En la Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas de la Universidad se observó que los conocimientos de los jóvenes sobre la donación de órganos fueron aceptables, aunque ciertos aspectos deben ser aclarados.

Methods: The sampling carried out was probabilistic of a simple random type and the sample was made up of 100 university students. An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted to assess levels of knowledge and attitudes about organ donation. A survey of 20 dichotomous key questions was applied. Results: 53 women (53.0%) and 47 (47.0%) men were interviewed. It was observed that 76% do not know about the Law on the Promotion of Solidarity Donation of Human Organs and Tissues in Peru. Likewise, 96% know the organs and tissues that can be donated, 61% of the students have talked about the subject of organ donation with their family. 76% would be willing to donate their organs or tissues after life, and 88% would donate their relatives' organs to save the life of another relative's Conclusions. In the Faculty of Biological Sciences of the University it was observed that the knowledge of young people about organ donation was acceptable, although certain aspects need to be clarified.

Cirugía mayor ambulatoria ginecológica en el Hospital San José de Parral / Major outpatient gynecological surgery at the San Jose de Parral Hospital

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate initial results of a ambulatory major surgery program in Gynecology. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective, descriptive study of the period March 2018 to June 2019. The interventions included were: surgical sterilizations via vaginal, minilap and laparoscopic, diagnostic laparoscopy, laparoscopic cyst or anexectomy, hysteroscopy, TOT, vaginal plasty, biopsy curettage, polypectomy, extraction of IUD under anesthesia, labiaplasty, and removal of transobsturatrix tape. Quality indicators such as suspension, readmissions and systemic and surgical complications have been analyzed. RESULTS: 136 patients were operated by CMA of which 43 were laparoscopic (31.6%), 55 patients vaginally (40.4%), 34 histeroscopy (25%) and 4 patients by minilap (3%)There were 4 minor and late complications (2.9%) that corresponded to operative wound infection in vaginal plasty and nymphoplasty, a dysfunctional TOT tape that had to be removed in a mediated manner and a PIP post surgical sterilization via vaginal route. CONCLUSIONS: Gynecological ambulatory major surgery is feasible to perform in a hospital of medium complexity with a low percentage of minor complications in this study.

Variables asociadas a riesgo de suicidio en pacientes con dolor crónico atendidos por consulta externa en un hospital de Bogotá / Variables associated with the risk of suicide in patients with chronic pain seen in a hospital outpatient clinic in Bogotá

Introducción: Esta investigación tiene como objetivo principal determinar la relación entre ansiedad, depresión, calidad de vida y riesgo suicida en pacientes con dolor crónico. Método: Corresponde a un estudio de tipo descriptivo-correlacional y de corte transversal, con un censo del total de población atendida entre diciembre de 2011 y enero de 2012, bajo un muestreo consecutivo. La muestra estuvo conformada por 49 pacientes de la Clínica de Dolor del Hospital El Tunal de Bogotá (Colombia). Se usaron los siguientes instrumentos de medición: Calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (SF-36), Escala hospitalaria de ansiedad y depresión (HAD), Escala de riesgo de suicidio de Plutchik y Escala analógica numérica de dolor. Resultados:Se encontró que el mayor porcentaje de la población (75%) percibe un nivel de dolor entre moderado y severo; el 34% presenta riesgo suicida, y el 25% ideación suicida; en cuanto a la calidad de vida, la mayor parte de los pacientes sienten limitaciones en su capacidad de desplazamiento y realización de esfuerzos físicos; el 75,5% de los pacientes presentan síntomas de ansiedad y el 61,2%, de depresión. Finalmente, el riesgo de suicidio no se relacionó con los niveles de dolor percibido. Se encontraron asociaciones significativas entre riesgo de suicidio con ansiedad, depresión, salud mental, componente mental, vitalidad y rol emocional. Conclusión:Se plantea la necesidad de realizar investigaciones que permitan determinar los mediadores entre el dolory los estados emocionales, pues este parece ser un aspecto central a comprender para mejorar la efectividad de las intervenciones en estos pacientes.

Introduction: The primary objective of this research is to determine the relationship between anxiety, depression, quality of life and the risk of suicide in patients with chronic pain. Method: Cross-sectional descriptive-correlational study of a consecutive sample taken froma census of the total population seen between December 2011 and January 2012. The sample included 49 patients of the El Tunal Hospital Pain Clinic in Bogotá. The following measurement tools were used: Health-Related Quality of Life (SF-36), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Plutchik suicide risk scale and numeric pain scale. Results: It was found that the largest percentage of the population (75%) perceived pain at a moderate-to-severe level; 34%were at risk of suicide and 25% had suicidal ideation. In terms of quality of life, the majority of patients felt that they were limited in their ability to move and perform physically demanding tasks; 75.5% of patients had experienced anxiety symptoms and 61.2% had symptoms of depression. Finally, there was no correlation between the risk of suicide and the perceived levels of pain. Significant associations were found between the risk of suicide and anxiety, depression, mental health, mental component,vitality and emotional role. Conclusion: There is a need to undertake research designed to determine mediators between pain and emotional status, considering that this understanding appears to be crucial for improving the effectiveness of the interventions in these patients.
