Self-perception of learning basic skills in the use of information and communications technology in university students with intellectual disabilities.

Educational transformation in the university environment requires updating the basic skills of all university students to the educational moment in which they find themselves. This study aimed to determine the basic skills in the use of information and communications technology that were identified as known, both conceptually and procedurally, in 15 university students with intellectual disabilities. To ascertain the importance of digital skills and information and communications technology tools, a descriptive, cross-sectional, pre-post study was conducted. Descriptive results and statistical analyses are presented with a t-test for independent samples for the variables with a normal distribution, assuming a hypothesis that the post values would be greater than those obtained pre. It was confirmed that there is an increase in the perceived procedural knowledge and skills in different digital tools based on participants' self-perception (p < 0.0001).

Ratio of Women with POP Using Pessary, Improvement in Urination and Quality of Life.

INTRODUCTION: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) has a general incidence of > 10% in the female population of the Western world. The pessary is a silicone device, it is inserted into the vagina to provide support to the pelvic organs. It is used as a conservative treatment to improve prolapse symptoms. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate urination among women with a pessary and women without a pessary and to evaluate the effectiveness of pessary treatment in pelvic organ prolapse with voiding difficulties. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective and quasi-experimental observational study of an analytical nature was conducted. It will consist of analyzing the results of treatment with vaginal pessaries in women with POP. A total of 60 women were chosen as a sample of the study, 50% were placed with the pessary. PGI test and uroflujometry were used. RESULTS: The placement of pessary shows how there is a significant correlation between the quality of life of women and urination. CONCLUSIONS: There is a relationship between the improvement of the quality of life and the improvement of the mycological dynamics of women in pessary treatment. However, the improvement in the quality of life cannot be attributed solely to the improvement of urinary flow, but also to the well-being caused by the reduction of POP.

[Systematic review of the treatment with pessaries in the pelvic organ prolapse (POP).] / Revisión sistemática del tratamiento con pesarios en el prolapso de órganos pélvicos (POP).

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) has a general incidence of > 10% in the female population of the Western world. The pessary is a silicone device, inserted into the vagina to provide support to the pelvic organs. It is used as a conservative treatment to improve prolapse symptoms.OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of pessary treatment in pelvic organ prolapse through a systematic review of the current literature.MATERIAL AND METHODS: A Scoping Review was carried out based on the PRISMA guidelines for the development of systematic reviews. The PICO research question was asked, the sources of information were selected, and the eligibility criteria were established. Subsequently, the descriptors in health sciences and keywords, combined with Boolean operators, were appliedin each of the search engines. RESULTS: A total of 19 references were included in the analysis of this work. To delimit the data extraction, the information was divided into four dimensions: improvements in symptoms related to POP and quality of life, sexual function; discontinuation, justification for discontinuation and complications. CONCLUSIONS: The pessary produces positive effects on the quality of life of women with POP, with good satisfaction rates. The main reasons for the interruption include: inability to retain the pessary, discomfort, and the desire for surgery.

El prolapso de órganos pélvicos (POP) presenta una incidencia general de >10% en la población femenina del mundo occidental. El pesario es un dispositivo de silicona, se introduce en la vagina para proveer soporte a los órganos pélvicos. Se utiliza como tratamiento conservador para mejorar los síntomas del prolapso. OBJETIVO: Evaluar la efectividad del tratamiento del pesario en los prolapsos de órganos pélvicos mediante una revisión sistemática de la literatura actual. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se llevó a cabo una Scoping Review sustentada en las directrices PRISMA para el desarrollo de revisiones sistemáticas. Se planteó la pregunta de investigación PICO, se seleccionaron las fuentes de información y establecieron los criterios de elegibilidad. Posteriormente se aplicaron los descriptores en ciencias de la salud y palabras clave, combinados con operadores boleanos, en cada uno de los buscadores. RESULTADOS: Un total de 19 referencias fueron incluidas en el análisis del presente trabajo. Para delimitar la extracción de datos se procedió a dividir la información en cuatro dimensiones: mejoras en los síntomas relacionados con el POP y la calidad de vida, función sexual; discontinuación, justificación de la interrupción y complicaciones. CONCLUSIONES: El pesario produce efectos positivos en la calidad de vida de las mujeres con POP, con buenas tasas de satisfacción. Las principales razones para la interrupción incluyen: incapacidad de retener el pesario, incomodidad y el deseo de cirugía.
