ABSTRACT
OBJETIVO: El objetivo principal de esta revisión fue conocer los principales beneficios del ejercicio físico durante la sesión de diálisis, en los pacientes en programa de hemodiálisis periódicas. METODOLOGÍA: Se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática a través de las bases de datos Pubmed, Science Direct y Google Académico. Se incluyeron artículos científicos en inglés y español, y se analizaron los artículos que trataban sobre ejercicio físico en la sesión de hemodiálisis. Se excluyeron aquellos artículos que no presentaran resultados y en los que el ejercicio físico fuese domiciliario. RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 18 artículos publicados entre 2015 y 2019. Todos los artículos fueron de diseño experimental. Se encontró una mejoría significativa de la fuerza muscular, al igual que de la capacidad física y de de la sintomatología depresiva. En menor medida, se observó una disminución de la presión arterial, disminución del proceso inflamatorio, mejoría de los valores nutricionales y mejora de la calidad de vida de estos pacientes. CONCLUSIONES: El ejercicio físico en la sesión de hemodiálisis tiene beneficios para la salud de los pacientes. El ejercicio físico de baja intensidad, así como la electroestimulación neuromuscular en las sesiones de diálisis, mejora objetivamente la fuerza muscular, aumenta la capacidad física, mejora la sintomatología depresiva con un mejor manejo del estrés y la ansiedad. Además, perece que puede mejorar el proceso inflamatorio, parámetros nutricionales y disminuir la presión arterial, así como mejorar la calidad de vida. La electroestimulación neuromuscular y el ejercicio físico de baja intensidad, son los ejercicios más utilizados
OBJECTIVE: The main objective of this review was to know the main benefits of physical exercise during the dialysis session, in patients in periodic hemodialysis program. METHODOLOGY: A systematic review was conducted through the Pubmed, Science Direct and Google Scholar databases. Scientific articles in English and Spanish were included, and articles dealing with physical exercise in the hemodialysis session were analyzed. Articles that did not present results and in which physical exercise was at home were excluded. RESULTS: 18 articles published between 2015 and 2019 were included. All articles were of experimental design. A significant improvement in muscle strength was found, as well as in physical ability and depressive symptomatology. To a lesser extent, a decrease in blood pressure, decrease in the inflammatory process, improvement in nutritional values and improvement in the quality of life of these patients were noticed. CONCLUSIONS: Physical exercise in the hemodialysis session has benefits for the patient's health. Low intensity physical exercise, as well as neuromuscular electro-stimulation in dialysis sessions, objectively improves muscle strength, increases physical capacity, improves depressive symptoms with better management of stress and anxiety. In addition, it seems that it can improve the inflammatory process, nutritional parameters and decrease blood pressure, as well as improving the quality of life. Neuromuscular electro-stimulation and low intensity physical exercise are the most commonly performed exercises

BACKGROUND: The Catalan Institute of Health (CIH) is the largest health services public provider in Catalonia. "CIH Code of Ethics Virtual Forum" (CEVF), was created within the Intranet of the CIH to facilitate participation among their employees. The current study aims to: a) Analyse the CIH workers' assessment of their own, their colleagues' and the organization's observance of ethical values; b) Identify the opinions, attitudes, experiences and practices related to the ethical values from the discourse of the workers that contributed voluntarily to the CEVF. METHODS: Mixed methods study with convergent parallel design: 1. Cross sectional study by means of a self-administered, ad hoc, anonymous questionnaire to assess the observance of the ethical values of the CIH according to the participants. A total of 712 workers responded to the questionnaire. A descriptive, bivariate analysis of the results was carried out. 2. Qualitative study to determine the meaning for the workers of the ethical values put forward by the organization. Their individual opinions and experiences were explored by means of a thematic contents analysis of 225 comments posted in the CEVF. The study was conducted between May and December 2008. RESULTS: The average score for observance of the CE by the respondents themselves was high (over 4/5), between 3.5-4/5 for the observance by their colleagues and close to 3/5 for the CIH management. These results do not change when we compare by gender, age group and professional discipline. The comments on the values are information-rich, they mirror the ethical environment of the institution and show various ethical dilemmas and suggestions. CONCLUSIONS: Results show that it is feasible for a publicly funded health care organization to develop a CE with the participation of employees and the support of the management. Results underscore the relevance of this strategy for the implementation, improvement and update of the CE as a responsibility shared by all workers. Practices consistent with ethical values are rewarded by social approval, enhance employee's confidence and coherence in decision-making and improve public engagement and institutional policies.
