    Objective: To determinate the association between work overload degree and sociodemographic characteristics of informal caregivers of older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Material and Methods: Quantitative, descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional study of 83 informal caregivers of older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, coming from the northeast sector of Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico. The Zarit Scale was used to measure the overload degree, and items regarding sociodemographic characteristics were included. Results: The profile of the caregiver with tendency to work overload was: woman (81.9%), housewife (47%), with an average age of 40 years, married (53%), daughter of the older adult (72.3%), low schooling (66.1%), with a monthly income lower than or equal to $6,799 Mexican pesos (51.8%), one to three years acting as caregiver (54.2%), and dedicating more than 17 hours per day to provide care to the patient (51.8%). The 48.2% of the caregivers showed intense work overload, 44.6% absence of work overload and 7.2% slight work overload. A statistically significant association was found (p=0.02) between the degree of work overload and the marital status and occupation variables. Conclusions: The statistically significant association indicates that marital status and occupation is related to the caregiver鈥檚 perceived work overload degree. It is relevant to propose interventions addressed to these characteristics in order to reduce the work overload, which is a risk for the caregiver鈥檚 health with the aforementioned profile, since it is related to greater odds of medical, psychiatric, and social morbidity and mortality.Objetivo: Determinar la relaci贸n entre el grado de sobrecarga y las caracter铆sticas sociodemogr谩ficas de cuidadores informales de personas adultas mayores con Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2. Metodolog铆a: Estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo, correlacional, de corte transversal a 83 cuidadores informales de personas adultas mayores con Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2, provenientes del sector noreste de Ciudad Obreg贸n, Sonora, M茅xico. Para medir la sobrecarga se utiliz贸 la Escala Zarit, se incluyeron 铆tems sobre caracter铆sticas sociodemogr谩ficas. Resultados: El perfil del cuidador con tendencia a sobrecarga fue: mujer (81.9%), ama de casa (47%), con un promedio de edad de 40 a帽os, casada (53%), hija del adulto mayor (72.3%), de baja escolaridad (66.1%) e ingresos econ贸micos mensuales menores o igual a 6,799 pesos mexicanos (51.8%) que lleva de uno a tres a帽os como cuidadora (54.2%) dedicando m谩s de 17 horas/ diarias al mismo (51.8%). El 48.2% de los cuidadores present贸 sobrecarga intensa, el 44.6% ausencia de sobrecarga y 7.2% sobrecarga leve. Se encontr贸 asociaci贸n estad铆sticamente significativa (p=0.02) entre el grado de sobrecarga y las variables estado civil y ocupaci贸n.Conclusiones: La asociaci贸n significativa indica que el estado civil y la ocupaci贸n se relaciona con el grado de sobrecarga percibido en los cuidadores, lo cual es importante proponer que las intervenciones sean dirigidas a estas caracter铆sticas para la disminuci贸n de la sobrecarga, la cual es un riesgo para la salud de los cuidadores con dicho perfil, ya que se encuentra asociada a mayor morbimortalidad m茅dica, psiqui谩trica y social del cuidador

    Objective: Determine the relationship between the stress level and the coping strategies used by students of the Bachelor鈥檚 Degree of Nursing in institutions of higher education of Ciudad Obreg贸n, Sonora. Methodology: Descriptive and correlational study; the population was comprised by 250 students whose age ranged from 18 and 46 years. Data was collected through a questionnaire of sociodemographic characteristics, the perceived stress level instrument, and the Brief COPE questionnaire.Results: 74.4% of the sample was comprised by women and 25.6% by men. It was found that both genders had a moderate level of stress (78%), in terms of the coping strategies most frequently used by the students, the emotional active coping was the one found. The correlation analysis was performed using Pearson's chi-square non-parametric test (x2) to probe the existence of relationship between the stress level and coping strategies (p=0.67). Based on the results of x2 (p=0.067), an additional analysis was carried out separating the categories of each one of the variables of study; Pearson鈥檚 test was used to find a significant correlation between low stress level and active emotional coping strategy (p=0.27) and between high stress level and avoidance emotional coping strategy (p=-0.01).Conclusions: The highest levels of stress are manifested by students who study only theoretical subjects. It is suggested the implementation of interventions related to the adequate management of stress.Objetivo: Determinar la relaci贸n entre el nivel de estr茅s y las estrategias de afrontamiento utilizadas por estudiantes de la Licenciatura en Enfermer铆a en Instituciones de Educaci贸n Superior (IES) de Ciudad Obreg贸n, Sonora.Metodolog铆a: Estudio no experimental y correlacional; se emple贸 un muestreo probabil铆stico estratificado de 250 estudiantes, con edades entre los 18 y 46 a帽os de edad. Los datos fueron recabados mediante un cuestionario de caracter铆sticas sociodemogr谩ficas, el instrumento del nivel de estr茅s percibido y para medir afrontamiento el Brief COPE Inventory. Resultados: El 74.4% de la muestra fueron mujeres y el 25.6% hombres, ambos g茅neros exhibieron nivel de estr茅s moderado (78%), la estrategia de afrontamiento reportada con mayor frecuencia fue afrontamiento activo emocional. Se emple贸 la prueba no param茅trica chi-cuadrada de Pearson (蠂2) para probar la existencia de asociaci贸n entre el nivel de estr茅s y las estrategias de afrontamiento (p= 0.67). Con base a los resultados de 蠂2 (p=.067) se realiz贸 un an谩lisis adicional separando las categor铆as de cada una de las variables de estudio, se utiliz贸 la prueba de Pearson con la cual se encontr贸 correlaci贸n significativa entre el nivel de estr茅s bajo y la estrategia afrontamiento activo emocional, (p=0.27) y entre nivel de estr茅s alto y estrategia de afrontamiento emocional por evitaci贸n (p=-.01).Conclusiones: Los niveles m谩s altos de estr茅s lo manifiestan estudiantes que cursan solo materias te贸ricas.
