ABSTRACT
IntroducciónConocer las posibles diferencias de género en los hábitos y estilos de vida que se relacionan con las ECV en los jóvenes que cursan estudios universitarios.Material y MétodoEstudio descriptivo transversal. Ámbito universitario de nuestra región. Se selecciona una muestra de 1.179 alumnos. Se utiliza un cuestionario autocumplimentado y anónimo. Consta de 36 preguntas formando 4 escalas de medida: grado de información sanitaria sobre RCV, consumo de tabaco, consumo de alcohol y realización de ejercicio físico.ResultadosEl 68,7% de los estudiantes universitarios (EU) desconocen que la causa más frecuente de mortalidad en la población española son las ECV, no existiendo diferencias de género. El hábito tabáquico, está presente en el 37,7% de EU y se asocia de forma significativa al género femenino, 43,7% de fumadoras frente al 32,3% de los varones, (p<0,001). El consumo de alcohol es reconocido por el 65,9% de EU son más las mujeres que manifiestan no consumir habitualmente alcohol (p: 0,004). La realización de ejercicio físico de algún tipo es manifestado por el 61% de EU, siendo más elevado en los hombres que en las mujeres.(p<0,001).ConclusionesEl análisis de los estilos de vida en los jóvenes universitarios relacionados con las ECV demuestra que las mujeres fuman más y realizan menos ejercicio que los varones, aunque consumen menos alcohol y tienen mayor percepción de su daño sobre la salud (AU)
IntroductionTo know possible gender differences in lifestyle related with cardiovascular (CV) disease in the young university students.Subjects and methodsA descriptive, cross-sectional study in university setting of our region. A sample of 1179 students was obtained. A self-completed and anonymous questionnaire was used. It was made up of 36 questions, forming 4 measurement scales: grade of health care information on cardiovascular risk (CVR), tobacco consumption, alcohol consumption and practice of physical exercise.ResultsA total of 68.7% of the university students (US) were unaware that the most frequent cause of mortality in the Spanish population is CV disease, there being no difference in gender. Smoking is present in 37.7% of the US and is significantly more frequent in females (43.7%) than in males (32.3%; p<0.001). Alcohol consumption is admitted by 65.9% of the US. More women state they do not usually drink alcohol (p: 0.004). Performing physical exercise of any type is reported by 61% of the US, this being higher among males with respect to females (p<0.001).ConclusionAnalysis of the lifestyle related with CV disease in young university students shows that women smoke more and perform less exercise than men, although they drink less alcohol and have a better perception of its harm for their health (AU)

AIM: To determine the influence of the information on donation generated from primary health-care on the attitude towards organ donation. DESIGN: Descriptive transversal study. SETTING: 45 municipalities of Murcia Region, Spain. PARTICIPANTS: The population in this study was randomly selected and stratified according to age, sex, and geographic localization among people over > or =15 years of age (n=1887). INTERVENTIONS AND MEASURES: The attitude was evaluated according to a questionnaire psychosocial aspects of donation. There is valued the information transmitted on donation to the population from primary care (group A) or other informative sources (group B), and if this information was to favour or in opposition to the same one. STATISTICS: chi2 test, t Student, and logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Of 1887 surveys, 129 cases (group A) (7%) had received information from primary care. In this group, the 89% is in favour of the donation. In 120 cases the received information was favourable, presenting an attitude in favour of the donation of 93%, whereas in all 9 remaining cases the information was in against, decreasing the attitude to favour up to 44% (P<.05). In the group B (n=1758) the attitude in favour of the donation was of 65% (P<.05, with regard to the group A). The 62% (n=1083) received favourable information, improving in them the favourable attitude towards the donation up to 74%. The rest (38%; n=675) had received also unfavourable information, decreasing his attitude to favour up to 51% (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS: Little information about organ donation is transmitted from primary care, but when it is realized a very positive impact has if it is favourable and very negative if it is unfavourable.

Objetivo. Determinar la influencia de la información sobre donación generada desde atención primaria (AP) en la actitud poblacional. Diseño. Estudio descriptivo, transversal. Emplazamiento. Un total de 45 municipios de la Comunidad Autónoma de Murcia. Participantes. Muestra aleatoria y estratificada por edad, sexo y localización geográfica entre la población >= 15 años (n = 1.887). Mediciones principales. Encuesta psicosocial sobre donación y trasplante de órganos. Se valora la información transmitida desde AP (grupo A) u otras fuentes informativas (grupo B), y su impacto en la actitud hacia la donación. Se analizan diversas variables psicosociales. Se aplicaron los tests de la * 2 y de la t de Student y un análisis de regresión logística. Resultados. De los 1.887 encuestados, 129 del grupo A (7%) habían recibido información desde AP. En este grupo, el 89% está a favor de la donación. En 120 casos la información recibida fue favorable, con una actitud a favor del tema del 93%, mientras que en los 9 casos restantes la información fue en contra, con lo que dicha actitud favorable descendió al 44% (p < 0,05). En el grupo B (n = 1.758), la actitud a favor de la donación fue del 65% (p < 0,05, respecto al grupo A). El 62% (n = 1.083) recibió una información favorable, con una actitud a favor del 74%. El resto (38%; n = 675) había recibido también información desfavorable, por lo que su actitud favorable disminuyó hasta el 51% (p < 0,05). Conclusiones. Se transmite poca información sobre donación desde AP. Sin embargo, cuando se realiza, tiene un impacto muy positivo si es favorable y muy negativo si es desfavorable (AU)

Fundamento: determinar cuales son los recursos socio-económicos que reciben las familias con niños con Insuficiencia Renal Crónica (IRC) antes de los 16 años.Métodos: se ha realizado una entrevista a 18 pacientes (9 varones y 9 mujeres) y a sus padres. Se valoran datos de identificación, sanitarios, tratamiento actual, apoyos socioeconómicos recibidos e información que tienen sobre estos recursos.Resultados: el 95 por ciento han recibido diálisis, siendo el 83 por ciento trasplantados al menos una vez. El 78 por ciento de las familias no han recibido información sobre los recursos sociales disponibles. De dichos recursos los más acogidos son la calificación de minusvalía (89 por ciento) y por hijo menor a cargo (72 por ciento).Conclusiones: es fundamental el apoyo socio-económico del menor con insuficiencia renal crónica y su familia para facilitar la integración en su ambiente social y mejorar su calidad de vida (AU)

OBJECTIVES: To increase schoolchildren's understanding and clarify their wrong ideas on organ donation and transplant (ODT). DESIGN: Quasi-experimental study. SETTING: 12 schools in the Autonomous Community of Murcia. PARTICIPANTS: 428 schoolchildren from the fourth and fifth years of Basic General Education during the academic year 1996 to 1997. INTERVENTIONS: An informative campaign carried out by health-service staff, which consists of four activities connected with ODT. Their knowledge was evaluated through a questionnaire on ODT from the ALCER (Murcia) Organisation for children in the first EGB cycle. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Average score was 5.15 points pre-campaign, 8.01 soon after and 7.39 long after, the differences between the pre-campaign and the two after, and between both the afters, were statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Knowledge of ODT was increased and wrong ideas were clarified. After three months there is a significant drop from the immediate post-campaign situation, which shows that subsequent activities to maintain children's level of knowledge must be carried out.
