Predictores biosocioculturales y estilos de vida de los estudiantes universitarios de una universidad de Huánuco / Predictors biosocioculturales and lifestyles of university student in an university of Huánuco

Objetivos: determinar la relación entre los predictores biosocioculturales y los estilos de vida de los estudiantes universitarios. Material y métodos: investigación cuantitativa, de tipo transversal, analítico, prospectivo y observacional; con diseño correlacional. La población fue de 3261 estudiantes de la Universidad Privada de Huánuco, con una muestra de 343,7 estudiantes, seleccionados probabilísticamente por estratos, a quienes se les aplicó un cuestionario de predictores y una escala de estilos de vida, previamente validados. Se tuvo en cuenta los aspectos éticos de la investigación. Se realizó un análisis bivariado mediante la prueba Chi Cuadrado de Pearson, con p≤0,05; apoyados en el PASW V20.0. Resultados: se comprobó la relación entre la condición de pertenecer al grupo adolescente [X2 =15,54; Gl 3 y p = 0.00] y la realización de trabajo paralelo al estudio [X2 =18,8; Gl 3 y p = 0.00] con el estilo de vida poco saludable. El pertenecer al género masculino [X2 =13,35; Gl 3 y p = 0.00] se relaciona con el estilo de vida saludable. No hubo relación entre la procedencia de la zona urbana [X2 =1,00; X2 =13,35; Gl 3 y p = 0.80], la tenencia de algún compromiso conyugal [X2 =13,35; GL 3 y p = 0,44], la tenencia de alguna religión [X2 =2,86; Gl 3 y p = 0.41] y la condición de cursar más del VI ciclo académico [X2 =1,10; Gl 3 y p = 0.781] con el estilo de vida saludable. Conclusiones: los predictores biológicos están relacionados con los estilos de vida saludable y poco saludables de los estudiantes.

Objectives: to determine the relationship between predictors and biosocioculturales lifestyles of college students. Material and Methods: quantitative research, transversal, analytical, prospective observational; with correlational design. The population was 3, 261 students of the Private University of Huanuco, with a sample of 343. 7 students, probabilistically selected by strata, who were applied a questionnaire and a scale predictors lifestyles, previously validated. the ethical aspects of the research was taken into account. A bivariate analysis was performed by Chi Square test of Pearson, with p≤0.05; supported by the PASW V20.0. Results: the relationship between the condition of belonging to the teen group [X2 = 15.54 was found; Gl 3 and p = 0.00] and performing work parallel to the study [X2 = 18.8; Gl 3 and p = 0.00] with unhealthy life style. The male gender [X2 = 13.35; Gl 3 and p = 0.00] is related to healthy lifestyle. There was no relationship between the origin of the urban area [X2 = 1.00; X2 = 13.35; Gl 3 and p = 0.80], possession of a marital commitment [X2 = 13.35; GL 3 and p = 0.44], possession of any religion [X2 = 2.86; Gl 3 and p = 0.41] and the condition of pursuing academic year more than VI [X2 = 1.10; Gl 3 and p = 0.781] with healthy lifestyle. Conclusions: biological predictors are related to healthy lifestyles and unhealthy students.

Obstetric morbidity and socio-cultural predictors of ruptured uterus among women in Southeast Nigeria.

This study determined the incidence, obstetric morbidity and the socio-cultural factors associated with ruptured uterus. A 6-year prospective review of ruptured uterus and an enquiry into socio-cultural barriers to specialised care was conducted. The incidence of ruptured uterus was 12 per 1000 deliveries. Occurrence was common in uneducated (78/116; 67.2%), unbooked (110/116; 94.8%) and rural women (112/116; 96.6%). The major causes were prolonged obstructed labour (104/116; 89.7%) and injudicious use of oxytocics (90/116; 77.6%). The maternal and perinatal case fatality rates were 18.1% and 96.6%, respectively. Complications resulted from haemorrhage and sepsis. Lack of birth plan (97/116; 79.3%) and unskilled birth attendance (110/116; 94.8%) were major socio-cultural risk factors. There was an association between education (p = 0.001), parity (p = 0.002), residence (<0.001), type of birth attendance (<0.001) and ruptured uterus. Women in low-income settings face threats of complications and death from uterine rupture, owing to preventable socio-cultural barriers of accessing specialised obstetric care.
