ABSTRACT

El avance de la ciencia y la tecnología aplicadas en favor de la sociedad contribuye al desarrollo sostenible de un país. Uno de los elementos fundamentales para trabajar en función de la soberanía tecnológica en Cuba es contar con un sistema operativo desarrollado por especialistas nacionales. El sistema operativo libre GNU/Linux Nova es una distribución de software libre desarrollada por la Universidad de Ciencias Informáticas. Es una de las propuestas de sistemas operativos a aplicar durante el proceso de migración hacia plataformas de software libre y código abierto en Cuba. El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo determinar cómo impacta la calidad de la distribución GNU/Linux Nova en el proceso de migración, específicamente en el sector de la salud en Cuba. Se realizó un breve análisis de la importancia del desarrollo científico-técnico, así como de la migración a software libre para la informatización de la sociedad. Se muestra una breve reseña de la evolución del proceso de desarrollo de la distribución GNU/Linux Nova que actualmente incluye un procedimiento de evaluación cuantitativa de la calidad. Este último ha permitido lograr mejores resultados en la evaluación del producto antes de su liberación oficial para mostrar objetivamente estos resultados. Finalmente se presentan valoraciones sobre el impacto económico, científico-técnico y social de la distribución en el sector de la salud en Cuba(AU)


The progress of science and technology applied for the benefit of society contributes to a country's sustainable development. One of the fundamental elements of the work for technological sovereignty in Cuba is using an operating system developed by national specialists. The operating system GNU/Linux Nova is a free software distribution developed by the Information Sciences University. It is one of the proposals of operating systems to be applied during the process of migration to free software and open code platforms in Cuba. The purpose of the study was to determine the way in which the quality of the GNU/Linux Nova distribution impacts on the migration process, particularly in the Cuban health sector. A brief analysis was conducted of the importance of technical and scientific development, as well as migration to free software for the informatization of society. A concise overview is provided of the evolution of the process of development of the GNU/Linux Nova distribution, which currently includes a quantitative quality evaluation procedure. This has made it possible to obtain better results in the evaluation of the product before its official release to show those results objectively. An assessment is finally presented of the economic, technical and scientific, and social impact of the distribution in the Cuban health sector(AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of Urinary Incontinence (UI) in a hospitalization unit. METHODS: Descriptive cross-sectional study, with patients in a hospitalization unit in Ferrol. The prevalence, the type of UI, the UI assessment and the impact of UI on daily life were estimated with the questionnaires: IU-4 (by sex), the severity tool ICIQ-SF and the IIQ. RESULTS: 302 patients participated in the study. The prevalence of UI was 41.4%. Regarding the type of incontinence, 35% suffer stress UI, 27% urge UI, 14.6% mixed UI, 8.8% functional UI and 2.2% Reflex UI. We can affirm that being a woman is a risk factor for UI [p<0.001; OR 5.0-95% CI (2.8-8.9)] . On the other hand, medium physical activity is objectified as a protective factor to suffer UI (p=0.003). CONCLUSION: The impact on the quality of life of the UI is high. Establishing more real data of predictive factors may help to identify patients. Using standardized methods of study such as validated questionnaires when assessing our patients is also of interest. The need to manage UI should be reinforced as a priority for nursing professionals, not only during hospital admissions, but also at the community level or in emergencies, due to the high prevalence described.


OBJETIVO: Determinar la prevalencia de IU (Incontinencia Urinaria) en una unidad de hospitalización, identificar el tipo más prevalente, la severidad de los síntomas asociados y su impacto en la calidad de vida de los pacientes afectados, así como la identificación de los factores asociados a la misma.MÉTODOS: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, con pacientes en una unidad de hospitalización en Ferrol. Se estimó la prevalencia, el tipo de IU, la valoración de IU y el impacto de la IU en la vida diaria con los cuestionarios: IU-4 (por sexo), la herramienta de severidad ICIQ-SF y el IIQ. RESULTADOS: Participaron 302 pacientes, cuya prevalencia de IU es 41,4%; un 35% padecen IU de esfuerzo, un 27% IU de Urgencia, un 14,6% IU Mixta, un 8,8% IU Funcional y un 2,2% IU Refleja. Al 41,6% las pérdidas de orina le afecta a su salud emocional (nerviosismo, depresión, etc.). Podemos afirmar que ser mujer,es un factor de riesgo para padecer IU [p<0,001;OR 5,0 - 95% IC (2,8-8,9)]. Por otro lado, la actividad física se objetiva como un factor protector para padecer IU (p=0,003). CONCLUSIÓN: El impacto en la calidad de vida de la IU es alto, por lo que se debe reforzar la necesidad del manejo de la IU como una prioridad para las enfermeras, durante los ingresos hospitalarios, desde el ámbito comunitario o en situaciones de urgencias, debido a la alta prevalencia descrita.

ABSTRACT

Introduction /aims: Surgical APGAR scale is a tool to stratify intraoperative risk. This study evaluates its performance, analyzing the predictive power to determinate postoperative complications and morbidity in a Colombian population. Methods: We evaluated a prospective cohort of adult patients submitted to urgent or elective general surgical procedures. The cohort was subdivided in two groups of procedures (Minor or intermediate, Group 1; and Major or complex, Group 2). The surgical APGAR was determinate in all cases and a correlation with the probability of complications (SSI, pneumonia, reoperation, mechanical ventilation>48h and death) was established during 30 postoperative days. We calculated the χ² tests (p<0.05) and RR (CI95%) for all levels of APGAR scale and procedures. Results: 488 patients met the inclusion criteria. According to procedures, 31.9% were placed in Group 2, 57.7% urgent and 35.2% laparoscopic. Patients with previous cardiovascular disease (p<0.001), male gender (p<0.05), open surgery (p<0.003), cancer (p<0.001), ASA≥3 (p<0.001), and patients undergoing Group 2 procedures (p<0.001) exhibit a higher probability of complications. Patients with APGAR:0-4 developed higher global and discriminate rates of complications (46.1%) OR: 13.8 p<0.001). In upper the levels of APGAR scale we identified a progressive reduction of complications and death. Conclusions: The surgical APGAR scale provides an objective intraoperative stratification of risk in general surgical procedures. Our results are similar to previous reports in the medical literature.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: conocer la satisfacción de pacientes y acompañantes respecto a la información recibida en el servicio de urgencias (SU) y la percepción de los profesionales sobre la información suministrada. Metodología: se realizó un estudio prospectivo, descriptivo y transversal, con recogida de datos durante los meses de marzo y abril del año 2012,en la Unidad de Urgencias Hospitalarias del Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Ferrol (SERGAS). La población objeto de estudio eran los usuarios (pacientes y acompañantes) del SU y los profesionales sanitarios(enfermeros/as y médicos/as) adscritos a ese servicio de dicho hospital. El tamaño de la muestra se calculó en 238 personas para cada grupo (pacientes y acompañantes). Se elaboraron tres cuestionarios ad hoc para los tres grupos, que fueron autoadministrados. Resultados: la calificación global de pacientes y acompañantes de la información recibida es de 7 y 6,9 sobre 10, respectivamente. Para el 50,8%de pacientes el médico no se presentó y para el 60,8% no lo hizo la enfermera. Un 77,1% de ellos consideran que se ha mantenido su intimidad al comunicarles la información. Y el 44,6% de los pacientes califica como bastante relevante la información proporcionada en el SU. El73,1% de los acompañantes no conocía el nombre del médico/a y el78,3% no conocía el de la enfermera. Un 17% nunca fue informado de las pruebas. El 66,7% de los profesionales considera la comunicación absolutamente imprescindible y el 56,7% considera bastante necesario la incorporación de un sistema de información. Conclusiones: debe mejorarse la presentación, identificación y explicación de procedimientos de los profesionales ante usuarios y se recomienda establecer un sistema que garantice una información periódica (AU)


Objective: to learn about the level of satisfaction by patients and their companions regarding the information received at the Emergency Unit(ER), and the perception of healthcare professionals about the information provided. Methodology: a transversal, descriptive and prospective study was conducted, collecting data during March and April, 2012, at the Hospital Emergency Unit in the Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Ferrol(SERGAS). The target population for the study were ER users (patients and their companions), and healthcare professionals (nurses and physicians)working in said hospital unit. The sample size was estimated in238 persons in each group (patients and their companions). Three ad hoc self-completion questionnaires were prepared for these three groups Results: the overall score by patients and their companions in terms of information received was 7 and 6.9 out of 10, respectively. Physicians did not introduce themselves to 50.8% of patients, and nurses did not introduce themselves to 60.8% of patients. A 77.1% of patients consider that their privacy was preserved while communicating information to them. And 44.6% of patients consider that the information provided at ER was quite relevant. Regarding patient companions, 73.1% were not aware of the physician’s name, and 78.3% were not aware of the nurse’s name. A 17% of patients were never informed about tests. A 66.7% of healthcare professionals consider that communication is completely essential, and 56.7% of them consider that implementing an information system is quite necessary. Conclusions: the presentation, identification, and explanation of procedures by healthcare professionals to users must be improved, and it is recommended to implement a system in order to ensure periodical information (AU)
