Elementos clave en el proceso de convivencia con la enfermedad de Parkinson de pacientes y familiares cuidadores

Fundamento. La enfermedad de Parkinson produce un impacto considerable en la vida de las personas. Es necesario identificar los elementos clave que influyen en el proceso de convivencia con la enfermedad de Parkinson para que los profesionales de la salud puedan ayudar a los pacientes y sus familias a convivir lo mejor posible con los cambios y limitaciones producidos por la enfermedad. Material y método. Se llevó a cabo un estudio cualitativo descriptivo. Este estudio se corresponde con la primera fase de un diseño exploratorio secuencial (Mixed-methods) que incluye a su vez una fase cuantitativa. Se realizó un proyecto multicéntrico. Para la recogida de datos se aplicó un muestreo de conveniencia y se utilizó una entrevista semi-estructurada realizada individualmente a pacientes y familiares cuidadores y dos cuestionarios para pacientes: la Escala de Hoehn & Yahr y el Cuestionario PDNMS. Se realizó un análisis de contenido de las entrevistas y estadístico descriptivo de los cuestionarios. Resultados. La muestra la constituyeron 46 participantes. Se identificaron tres elementos clave en el proceso de convivencia con la enfermedad de Parkinson: aceptación, adaptación y automanejo. Estos elementos condicionaron dos modos de convivencia con la enfermedad de Parkinson: una convivencia positiva, caracterizada por sentimientos de armonía, equilibrio, y naturalidad; y una convivencia negativa caracterizada por sentimientos de frustración, pérdida de control y autoestima. Conclusiones. Es esencial que los profesionales de la salud conozcan a fondo estos elementos, así como los factores que los favorecen o dificultan. En la medida que se propicie la investigación en este ámbito y se identifiquen intervenciones efectivas se mejorará la atención integral de la personas en consonancia con las nuevas directrices para la cronicidad.Background. Parkinson’s disease has a considerable impact on people’s lives. It is necessary to identify the key elements that influence the process of living with Parkinson’s disease so that health professionals can help patients and their relatives to live as well as possible with the changes and limitations produced by the disease. Material and methods. A qualitative descriptive study was realized. This study corresponded to the first phase of a sequential, exploratory design (mixed method) that in turn included a quantitative phase. A multicentre project was carried out. Convenience sampling was applied to collect data, a semi-structured interview was realized individually with patients and carer-relatives and two questionnaires with patients: the Hoehn & Yahr scale and the PDNMS questionnaire. Content analysis of the interviews and a statistical description of the questionnaires were used. Results. The sample was made up of 46 participants. Three key elements were identified in the process of living with Parkinson’s disease: acceptance, adaptation and self-management. These elements conditioned the modes of living with Parkinson’s disease: positive living, characterized by feelings of harmony, balance and naturalness; negative living characterized be feelings of frustration, loss of control and self-esteem. Conclusions. It is essential for health professionals to have a deep understanding of these elements, as well as of the factors that favor or hinder them. To the extent that research in this field progresses and effective interventions are identified, comprehensive patient care will be improved in consonance with the new directives for chronicity

Consumer behavior: Factors affecting online shopping in Metro Manila

This research project aimed to identify the following: (1) the factors that influence consumers to shop online, (2) the attributes that affect consumer satisfaction, and (3) the factors that contribute to the promotion of online shopping. It also aimed to study how to retain the active online consumers while converting those consumers patronizing the brick-and-mortar businesses. The researchers limited the study on Metro Manila consumers aged 15 to 40 who have experienced online shopping and the potential ones. Survey forms were distributed randomly to qualified respondents in Metro Manila. The results were recorded through the use of Microsoft Excel. The researchers used Multiple Regression to identify the factors that affect online shopping behaviour. The researchers also used Pearson\u27s r correlation to determine if there is a relationship between the importance and satisfaction of the attributes. The results showed that only a small percentage of the online behaviour is explained by the given attributes. Based on the results, the relationship between the importance and satisfaction of the product, service, and payment attributes is moderate, positive while the relationship between the importance and satisfaction of security attributes is weak, positive. The group recommended the online sellers to focus on product information, delivery time, response time, ease of use, privacy of personal information, and security of information to satisfy and retain current and loyal customers also gain more potential customers

Association of general weighted average, performance in national licensure examination and employment profile of graduates of BS Physical Therapy Batch 2006-2011 of De La Salle Health Sciences Institute College of Rehabilitation Sciences (formerly College of Physical Therapy)

This is a correlational type of study. The total population which is 528 came from the list of the B.S. Physical Therapy graduates from Batch 2006-2011. Purposive sampling was used in selecting the sample, which is 50 or 23% who answered and participated voluntarily. Data was obtained by reviewing their records as to the general weighted average from 3rd year to 4th year and by requesting the National Licensure Examination Performance from the Dean of the College of Rehabilitation Sciences. On the other hand, the researchers obtained the data of the employment profile from the respondents by administering a questionnaire form. Frequency, Chi-square and percentage were the statistical treatments used in this study. Based from the collected data, a total of 8% had a high passing GWA and 92% had a low passing GWA. Eighty eight percent (88%) passed the National Licensure Examination Performance whereas the remaining 12% failed the examination. Furthermore, a total of 82% from the respondents were employed and 18% were unemployed. Seventy six percent (76%) of the graduates are engaged in a PT related job and 24% in a non-PT related job. Based on the statistical treatment done, the study concluded that there is no sufficient evidence to prove that there is a significant association between the general weighted average, performance in National Licensure Examination and the current employment profile of graduates of B.S. Physical Therapy Batch 2006-2011 of De La Salle Health Sciences Institute College of Rehabilitation Sciences
