ABSTRACT

Introducción: La práctica de actividades físicas sistemáticas mejora el estado de salud general de los adultos mayores; constituye una prioridad en los programas de atención al adulto mayor. Objetivo: Implementar una intervención de salud en adultos mayores del cantón Riobamba para favorecer la práctica de actividades físicas sistemáticas y el control del estado nutricional. Métodos: Se realizó una investigación aplicada, con diseño cuasiexperimental, que incluyó universo de 527 adultos mayores residentes en la parroquia Maldonado del cantón Riobamba. La muestra quedó conformada por 223 ancianos. Se aplicó una intervención de salud, con actividades teórico prácticas, que tuvo una duración de 7 meses. Se utilizó la prueba de McNemar para identificar cambios estadísticamente significativos en el estado nutricional de los adultos mayores. Resultado: promedio de edad de 67,49 años, con predominio de adultos mayores femeninas (63,68 %) y con presencia de comorbilidades (83,86 %). Al inicio de la investigación el 72,20% de los adultos mayores no realizaba actividades físicas, el 41,26% tenía sobrepeso y el nivel de conocimiento sobre importancia del ejercicio físico fue bajo (64,13 %). Durante el postest predominaron los adultos mayores con normopeso (50,67 %) y con nivel de conocimiento medio (51,12 %) en relación a la importancia de las actividades físicas para el mantenimiento de la salud. Conclusiones: La intervención de salud aplicada, basada en la realización de actividades físicas mejoró el estado nutricional y el nivel de conocimiento de los adultos mayores en relación a la importancia de practicar actividades físicas sistemáticas.


Introduction: The practice of systematic physical activities favors the control of chronic activities and improves the general health status of older adults; constitutes a priority in care programs for the elderly. Objective: To implement a health intervention in older adults in the Riobamba canton to encourage the practice of systematic physical activities and the control of nutritional status. Methods: Applied research was carried out, with a quasi-experimental and descriptive design that included a total of 527 elderly residents in the Maldonado parish of the Riobamba canton as a universe. The sample was made up of 223 elderlies. A health intervention was applied, with theoretical and practical activities that lasted 7 months. McNemar's non-parametric test was used to identify the presence of statistically significant changes in the different research variables. Result: average age of 67.49 years, with a predominance of female older adults (63.68 %) and with the presence of comorbidities (83.86 %). At the beginning of the investigation, 72.20 % of older adults did not perform physical activities, 41.26% were overweight and the level of knowledge about the importance of physical exercise was low (64.13 %). During the post-test, older adults with normal weight (50.67 %) and with a medium level of knowledge (51.12 %) predominated in relation to the importance of physical activities for maintaining health. Conclusions: The applied health intervention, based on the performance of physical activities, improved the nutritional status and the level of knowledge of the elderly in relation to the importance of practicing systematic physical activities.

ABSTRACT

Early childhood mental health programs are vital for the current and future mental health and brain development of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Founded in 2014, Safe Start is the only early childhood mental health program in Beirut, Lebanon. It aims at being the prototype of such services at the national level. A retrospective analysis of the outcomes of the first year of operations has resulted in important findings about the age of the participants, their diagnoses, previous therapies that the participants have undergone, types of referrals recommended, and the number of participants who were lost to follow-up. This first analysis pointed at the need for more in-depth research to encompass the gaps and benefits of such services. It shows the pivotal importance of designing awareness strategies about the importance of early childhood mental health services and care; to move from a diagnostic seeking behavior to commitment to psychotherapy and follow-up interventions.

ABSTRACT

Se persigue exponer una estrategia didáctica general de superación profesional de posgrado, formativa y desarrolladora, a través del método de investigación-acción, con la finalidad de propiciar transformaciones favorables de estilos de vida de la población cubana y se explica cómo implementarla. Habiendo sido adecuada a las necesidades formativas de los participantes para conseguir lo anterior mediante la apropiación y aplicación social de los conocimientos como integradores de habilidades, se encamina a fomentar actitudes positivas — a través de convicciones— para modificar comportamientos inadecuados, crear mecanismos para lograr una salud responsable, formar o consolidar valores, así como viabilizar el desarrollo intelectual y social para perfeccionar el modo de actuación profesional. Se sustenta en la dinámica de una concepción didáctica por medio de una intervención de superación dirigida a los profesionales de la atención primaria para transformar los estilos de vida de la población que puedan ser mejorados. Tanto las acciones educativas y socioculturales como las intervenciones de salud social se fundamentan en la integración de elementos planteados por reconocidos autores, entre los cuales figuran: Rojas, Fuillerat, Ferrer, Rodríguez Ojea y Castell Florit(AU)


It is our objective to expose a general didactic strategy of developing post degree professional self improvement, through the investigation-action method, with the purpose of propitiating favorable transformations of the Cuban population's lifestyles and it is explained how to implement it. After being adapted to the formation needs of the participants to obtain this goal by means of the appropriation and social application of knowledge as a skill unifier, it is aimed at creating positive attitudes—through convictions—at modifying inadequate behaviors, at creating mechanisms to achieve a considerable health, at forming or consolidating values, as well as making possible the intellectual and social development to improve the professional performance. It is sustained in the dynamics of didactic conception by means of a self-improvement intervention directed to the primary care professionals to transform the population's lifestyles that can be improved. Either the teaching, social and cultural actions or the social health interventions are based on the integration of elements outlined by known authors, among whom there are: Rojas, Fuillerat, Ferrer, Rodríguez-Ojea and Castell-Florit(AU)
