ABSTRACT

Objetivo principal: Comprender experiencias de duelo en equipos de salud durante la pandemia. Metodología: Estudio cualitativo con enfoque fenomenológico. Muestreo por conveniencia en personal de salud de unidades críticas en hospitales chilenos. Datos obtenidos mediante entrevistas en profundidad, modalidad online. Análisis de datos temático según Max Van Manen. Se contó con aprobación por Comité de Ética Científico. Resultados principales: Se obtuvieron seis temas principales: Familia, Muerte en pandemia, Emociones y sentimientos, Afrontamiento, Condiciones laborales y Espiritualidad. Conclusión principal: La experiencia de duelo en pandemia generó transformaciones en el contexto laboral, individual y grupal, de los equipos de salud. La muerte de los pacientes derivó en la reflexión sobre la humanización del cuidado y repensar procesos clínicos. El apoyo psicológico y espiritual son medidas de autocuidado que deben relevarse en el personal de salud para afrontar el duelo.(AU)


Objective: To understand grieving experiences in health teams during the pandemic. Methods: Qualitative study with a phenomenological approach. Convenience sampling in health personnel workers at Critical Units in Chile. Data obtained by in-depth interviews in online modality. Thematic data analysis according to Max Van Manen was done. Approval was obtained at the Scientific Ethics Committee. Results: The main themes obtained were Family, Death in a pandemic, Emotions and feelings, Coping, Working conditions and Spirituality. Conclusion: The experience of bereavement during pandemic generated transformations in the work context of the health teams and to individual and group level. The death of patients led to reflection about of the humanization of care and to rethinking clinical processes. Psychological and spiritual support are self-care actions that must be enphatice by health personnel to deal with grief.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumen Objetivo: Realizar la traducción y adaptación transcultural del componente de síntomas gastrointestinales (SGI) de la escala CTCAE versión 4.02 en pacientes ambulatorios tratados con quimioterapia en el Instituto Nacional de Cancerología en Bogotá. Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda manual en medios electrónicos de escalas en idioma inglés o español que evaluarán la presencia, frecuencia o intensidad de SGI en pacientes oncológicos. La selección de los ítems fue efectuada por consenso informal de un comité técnico, el cual verificó la concordancia entre los principales SGI descritos en la literatura y los incluidos en la escala, ya que estos podrían afectar el estado nutricional. Posteriormente, para la adaptación transcultural, se siguieron los pasos y recomendaciones del manual ISPOR y del grupo de calidad de vida EORTC. La prueba piloto se efectuó en 30 pacientes seleccionados por conveniencia, quienes cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Resultados: El 52% eran hombres; la edad promedio fue de 54,2 años (+/- 15,3 años). Los cánceres más frecuentes fueron: colorrectal (28%), estómago (16%) y mama (12%). Los 14 SGI incluidos en la escala fueron experimentados por todos los pacientes, por lo cual se conservaron, y no se requirió adicionar ningún otro. El tiempo promedio de aplicación del instrumento fue de 5 minutos y el 90% de los participantes lo consideró adecuado. Conclusiones: Se generó un instrumento de 14 ítems para medir SGI en pacientes oncológicos ambulatorios sometidos a quimioterapia, el cual es de rápida aplicación y utiliza lenguaje de fácil comprensión para el paciente. Aunque todavía quedan por definir sus propiedades clinimétricas.


Abstract Objective: To carry out the translation and transcultural adaptation of the gastrointestinal symptoms component (GIS) of the CTCAE, scale version 4.02, in outpatient patients treated with chemotherapy at the National Cancer Institute, Bogotá (Colombia). Methods: It was performed a manual search of scales on electronic media, in English or Spanish languages, which will evaluate the presence and intensity of GIS in oncological patients. The selection of the items was made by an informal consensus of a technical committee, which verified the concordance between the main GIS described in the literature and those included in the scale, all of which could affect the nutritional status. For transcultural adaptation, there were followed the steps and recommendations of the ISPOR Handbook, as well as those of the EORTC quality of life group. The pilot test was conducted in 30 patients selected for convenience, who met the inclusion criteria. Results: 52% were men; the average age was 54.2 years (+/-15.3 years). The most frequent cancers were: colorectal (28%), stomach (16%) and breast (12%). The 14 GIS included in the scale were experienced by all patients, so they were retained, and no other addition was required. The average time of application of the instrument was 5 minutes, and 90% of the participants considered it appropriate. Conclusions: A 14-item instrument was generated to measure GIS in cancer patients who undergo outpatient chemotherapy, which is of fast application and uses a language that is easily understood by patients. Its clinimetrics properties remain to be defined.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Describir la frecuencia, los aspectos clínicos, bioquímicos y moleculares de la hipercolesterolemia familiar (HF) en sujetos que acuden a una unidad de endocrinología. Métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo en el que se evaluaron 3.140 sujetos que fueron atendidos en la Unidad de Endocrinología del Centro Médico Orinoco en Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela, desde el 7 de enero del 2013 al 9 de diciembre del 2016. Los casos índice fueron seleccionados de acuerdo con los criterios de la Red de Clínicas de Lípidos de Holanda. Se midieron lípidos plasmáticos. El análisis molecular se realizó por medio de secuenciación de ADN de los genes LDLR y APOB. Resultados: De los 3.140 sujetos evaluados, 10 (0,32%) tuvieron características clínicas y bioquímicas compatibles con HF. Todos, excepto uno, eran de sexo femenino. Tres pacientes tuvieron antecedente familiar en primer grado de enfermedad coronaria prematura y ninguno antecedente personal de esta patología. Tres pacientes tuvieron obesidad, 3 hipertensión arterial y ninguno tuvo diabetes. Tres pacientes presentaban xantomas tendinosos y solo uno arco corneal. Los valores de c-LDL oscilaron entre 191 y 486mg/dl. Solo 2 recibían tratamiento con estatinas. En 4 pacientes se identificó la causa genética de la HF: 3 de ellos por mutaciones en el gen LDLR y uno por mutación en el exón 26 del gen APOB. Conclusión: Aproximadamente una de cada 300 personas que acuden a consulta en esta unidad de endocrinología presentan HF. Las mutaciones en el gen LDLR son las principales causantes de HF en este grupo de pacientes (AU)


Objective: To assess the frequency and the clinical, biochemical, and molecular aspects of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in subjects attending an endocrinology unit. Methods: An observational, descriptive study evaluating 3,140 subjects attending the endocrinology unit of Centro Médico Orinoco in Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela, from 7 January 2013 to 9 December 2016. The index cases were selected using the Dutch Lipid Clinic Network criteria. Plasma lipid levels were measured, and a molecular analysis was performed by DNA sequencing of the LDLR and APOB genes. Results: Ten (0.32%) of the 3,140 study patients had clinical and biochemical characteristics consistent with FH. All but one were female. Three had first-degree relatives with prior premature coronary artery; and none had a personal history of this condition. Three patients were obese; three had high blood pressure; and no one suffered from diabetes. Three patients had a history of tendon xanthomas, and one of corneal arcus. LDL-C levels ranged from 191 to 486mg/dL. Two patients were on statin therapy. The genetic causes of FH were identified in four patients, and were LDLR gene mutations in three of them and an APOB gene mutation in exon 26 in the other. Conclusion: Approximately, one out of every 300 people attending this endocrinology unit in those four years had FH, and LDLR gene mutations were the most prevalent cause (AU)
