ABSTRACT

Introducción: El COVID-19 Persistente (CP) es una afección multisistémica que persiste tras una infección inicial por SARS-CoV-2. Nuestro objetivo es definir el perfil clínico del CP en trabajadores sanitarios mediante una consulta de vigilancia de salud específica de Medicina del Trabajo.Material y Métodos:Se estudiaron 645 trabajadores que padecieron COVID-19 desde el inicio de la pandemia hasta el 30/09/2022. Primero mediante entrevista telefónica y, posteriormente, en una consulta médica presencial.Resultados:Se recogieron más de 35 síntomas. Los síntomas más frecuentes fueron astenia, dolores osteomusculares, cefalea, dolores articulares, alteraciones del olfato y perdida del cabello en el grupo entrevistado telefónicamente. En los trabajadores vistos en consulta, la sintomatología más frecuente fue astenia, ojo seco, dolores articulares, pérdida de memoria, disnea y trastornos del sueño.Conclusión:Los trabajadores de atención a la salud han experimentado una sintomatología similar a la vista en otros estudios, pero en menor frecuencia y de menor gravedad.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El estrés es la respuesta física y emocional a un daño causado por un desequilibrio entre las exi-gencias percibidas y los recursos y capacidades percibidos de un individuo para hacer frente a esas exigencias. La OMS ha instado a los responsables en la toma de decisiones y los defensores de la salud mental a intensificar el compromiso para cambiar las actitudes, las acciones y los enfoques de la salud mental. Entre los diferentes tipos de estrategias consideradas, las intervenciones de salud móvil están recibiendo especial atención.Método: Se llevó a cabo una búsqueda en las principales bases de datos en ciencias de la salud (Medline, WOS y LILACS). Se seleccionaron ensayos clínicos en los que la intervención consistió en el uso de aplicaciones en teléfo-nos móviles con el fin de disminuir el estrés en población trabajadora, cuyo idioma original fue el inglés o español y publicados en los últimos 5 años.Resultados: Se seleccionaron 10 artículos. La aplicación más empleada fue HeadSpace. El 70% obtuvieron diferen-cias significativas en los niveles de estrés antes y después del periodo de estudio. En el 90% la muestra tuvo mayor proporción del sexo femenino.Conclusiones: La mayoría de los estudios revisados demostraron efectividad en la reducción de las puntuaciones de las escalas utilizadas. Las investigaciones no han profundizado en la relación del estrés con las condiciones de trabajo. Sin una razón que lo objetive las trabajadoras del ámbito sanitario son la población más estudiada (AU)


Introduction: Stress is the harmful physical and emotional response caused by an imbalance between the percei-ved demands and the perceived resources and abilities of individuals to cope with those demands. The WHO urges mental health decision makers and advocates to step up commitment and action to change attitudes, actions and approaches to mental health. Mobile health apps have become increasingly popular.Method: A search was carried out in the main databases in health sciences (Medline, WOS and LILACS). Clinical trials were selected in which the intervention consisted in using applications on mobile phones in order to reduce stress in the working population. Articles whose original language was English or Spanish and published in the last 5 years were selected.Results: 10 articles were selected, 70% of them obtained significant differences in the levels of stress. Headspace was the most used application. The sample had greater proportion of the female sex in 90% of the studies.Conclusions: Most of the reviewed studies demonstrated effectiveness in reducing the scores of the used scales. Re-searchs have not delved into the relationship between stress and working conditions. Without an objective reason, female healthcare workers are the most studied population (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: En Ceuta, el 82,3% de la población ha recibido al menos una vacuna contra la COVID-19. El 17,7% es reticente a recibir ninguna vacuna relacionada con esta enfermedad. El objetivo de este estudio es conocer el grado de rechazo y las causas del mismo hacia la vacunación contra la COVID-19 en trabajadores del ámbito sanitario de Hospital Universitario de Ceuta; además, poder comparar estos resultados con las causas en diferentes países y con otros sanitarios del mundo. Método: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal donde se revisó la base de datos de los trabajadores excluyendo aquellos que sí habían recibido al menos una dosis de la vacuna. En aquellos donde no se tenía información o bien no habían recibido vacunación, se realizó una llamada telefónica. Se diseñó una base de datos con diferentes variables entre las que se incluyen: categoría profesional, sexo y edad. El análisis de los datos se llevó a cabo con Excel 2010. Resultados: De los 1009 trabajadores registrados, 17 de ellos confirmó no haber recibido ninguna vacuna: 6 enfermeros (35%), 6 médicos (35%), 3 administrativos (18%), 1 celador (6%) y 1 auxiliar de enfermería (6%). 35% lo atribuyó a causas médicas, 35% se encontraron reticentes a recibir la vacuna y 18% refirió tener anticuerpos contra el virus y por lo tanto, no deseó recibir la vacunación. Conclusiones: La causa más frecuente de no vacunación es el miedo (35%) tanto a los efectos secundarios como a la rapidez del desarrollo de la vacuna (AU)


Introduction: In Ceuta, 82.3% of the population has received at least one vaccine against COVID-19. 17.7% reject to receive any vaccine related to this disease. The objective of this study is to determine the degree of rejection and its causes towards vaccination against COVID-19 in health workers of the Hospital Universitario de Ceuta; In addition, to be able to compare these results with the causes in different countries and with other healthcare providers in the world.Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out where the database of workers was reviewed, exclud-ing those who had received at least one dose of the vaccine. In those where there was no information or had not received vaccination, a telephone call was made. A database was designed with different variables, including: pro-fessional category, sex and age. Data analysis was carried out with Excel 2010.Results: Of the 1,009 registered workers, 17 of them confirmed that they had not received any vaccine: 6 nurses (35%), 6 doctors (35%), 3 administrative staff (18%), 1 porter (6%), and 1 nursing assistant (6 %). 35% attributed it to medical causes, 35% were reluctant to receive the vaccine and 18% reported having antibodies against the virus and therefore did not want to receive the vaccination.Conclusions: The most frequent cause of non-vaccination is fear (35%) of both side effects and the speed of vaccine development (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar los niveles de síndrome de desgaste profesional en trabajadores de atención a la salud de Ceuta. Diseño: Estudio transversal de prevalencia. Emplazamiento: Área sanitaria de Ceuta de atención primaria y especializada. Participantes: Muestra de 200 trabajadores estratificada por sexo, puesto y centro de trabajo. Mediciones principales: El instrumento utilizado es el Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Se estudiaron variables personales (edad, sexo, estado civil), laborales (centro, puesto de trabajo, antigüedad) y parámetros sanguíneos. Resultados: El síndrome de desgaste profesional está presente en el 17,2% (IC 95%: 10,4-26,0) de los trabajadores. Existe asociación significativa con el puesto de trabajo, con diferencias en las cifras de agotamiento emocional, despersonalización afectiva y logro profesional. La proteína C reactiva es más elevada en los trabajadores con desgaste profesional. Conclusiones: La prevalencia de desgaste profesional es similar a la de otros estudios. Las diferencias entre trabajadores sanitarios y no sanitarios podría deberse a una mayor motivación para la realización profesional, aunque puntúen de una forma más elevada en agotamiento y despersonalización. La elevación de marcadores inespecíficos de la inflamación parece confirmar los hallazgos de otros estudios(AU)


Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the levels of burnout among employees of health care workers in the Health Area of Ceuta (Spain). Design: Prevalence study. Setting: Ceuta Health Area (Primary and Specialty Care). Participants: A sample of 200 workers stratified by sex, job and workplace. Measurements: The tool used was the MBI (Maslach Burnout Inventory). We also studied personal (age, sex, marital status) and work variables (centre, job, age) and blood parameters (C-reactive protein and others). Results: The burnout syndrome was present in 17.2% of workers (95% CI: 10.4-26.0). There was a significant relationship with job, with differences in emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation, and professional achievement. C-reactive protein was significantly higher in workers with burnout. Conclusions: Burnout prevalence in the health care workers in our sample is similar to other studies. The differences between health and non-health workers could be due to greater motivation for professional achievement, but they scored higher in exhaustion and depersonalisation. The increase in C-reactive protein, a non-specific inflammation marker, seems to confirm the findings of other studies(AU)
