ABSTRACT
Objective: to carry out an updated bibliographic review focused on maternal and neonatal morbidity due to SARSCoV-2 infection with the purpose of evaluating the severity that could occur in these risk groups. Methodology: this study consisted of a systematic review between December 2019 and September 2020 using platforms such as: PubMed, Scopus, Digital Library of the Complutense University of Madrid, Google Scholar and Scielo. The data were tabulated according to the recommendations of the PRISMA guide. Result(s): Of 116 pregnant women with a positive diagnosis for COVID 19, 91.3% had a favorable evolution without requiring intensive care;8.62% presented severe pneumonia and mechanical respiratory assistance and none of them died. On the other hand, of 117 neonates, 93.2% had negative results for COVID-19 while 6.8% had positive results and there were three neonatal deaths not related to COVID-19. Conclusion(s): This indicates that SARS-CoV-2 does not generate greater susceptibility in obstetric patients or neonates and usually only manifests with mild to moderate symptoms.

ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a series of restrictive measures were taken to help curb contagion, including the closure of public places. In order to ensure educational continuity, the virtual modality was introduced;however, a large number of teachers were unable to cope with such demands because they were not prepared. For this reason, the aim of the study was to test an explanatory model of burnout in teachers based on job stressors during the pande-mic. METHOD. An applied study with explanatory design of latent variables was proposed, using structural equations (SEM). The participants were 504 teachers (Mage = 42.18;SD = 10.2) of regu-lar basic education from state (62.7%) and private (37.3%) institutions, from three Peruvian re-gions, who responded to a sociodemographic form, the Scale of stressors in teachers in times of pandemic and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). RESULTS. It was found that the dimensions of burnout, emotional exhaustion and cynicism are explained by the stressors: work environment and work overload, the use of new technologies, uncertainty about the duration and consequences of the pandemic, the organizational aspect of the educational institution, and the relation-ships with the student’s environment. DISCUSSION. The findings suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic has generated a series of stressors that have had a negative impact on the mental health of teachers, who experience a feeling of emotional exhaustion, loss of strength and insufficient energy to continue facing the job;as well as insensitive or distant responses to different features of the job. In this regard, it is proposed to strengthen the teachers’ personal and logistical resources to face educational demands and counteract the negative effect of stressors. © Sociedad Española de Pedagogía.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Currently, the impact of COVID-19 on sociodemographic and obstetric factors, linked to nutritional status and anemia in pregnant women, represents a significant change in management and healthcare paradigms. Objectives: To consider a multiple logistic regression model and multiple comparisons (Mann-Whitney U test) based on sociodemographic-obstetric factors, nutritional status and anemia in pregnant women before and during Covid-19. Methods: In this study, 113 medical records of pregnant women attended between November 2019 and April 2020 at a Hospital II-1 in Trujillo, Peru were analyzed. Multiple logistic regression model showed a good fit and allowed to correctly classify most of pregnant women. Results: The covariates;employment situation, obstetric history, nutritional condition and anemia were significant. Differences were observed between sociodemographic factors such as employment status, obstetric factors such as obstetric history, and factors related to nutritional status and clinical symptoms of anemia. Conclusions: The impact of COVID-19 reflected in the relationships between sociodemographic and obstetric factors with nutritional status and the anemia diagnosed in pregnant women treated in a Hospital II-1 in Trujillo, Peru, was evidenced. ©
ABSTRACT
Objective: In times of COVID-19, the relationship between the quality of pharmaceutical services and user satisfaction in health facilities has become one of the elements of the most observed global health crisis. The objective of this research was to determine the relationship between the quality of the pharmaceutical product dispensing service with user satisfaction in COVID-19 times. Method: A sample of 134 users was considered, who applied for questionnaires on the quality and satisfaction of the user with the service received. An ordinal logistic regression model was fitted on data that relate service quality to user satisfaction, reliability, responsibility, safety, empathy and tangibility. Results: It was found that in times of COVID-19, the quality of the pharmaceutical product dispensing service was valued from low to medium, and the satisfaction, reliability, responsibility, security, empathy and the tangibility of the user with the service received was rated as dissatisfied not very satisfied. The validity of the ordinal logistic regression model for the quality of the dispensing service of pharmaceutical products based on tangibility was evidenced, which confirmed the relationship between the quality of the dispensing service of pharmaceutical products in times of COVID-19 and the tangibility. Conclusions: The quality of the pharmaceutical product dispensing service was rated from low to medium, which implied a high risk of negative evaluation of the pharmaceutical product dispensing service. © 2021 Universitatea de Vest Vasile Goldis din Arad.
