    Introducción: El propósito fue determinar la percepción de stress académico en los estudiantes de la Escuela Profesional de Enfermería de la Universidad Nacional Jorge Basadre Grohmann. Material y métodos: Se aplicó un cuestionario a 111 estudiantes de primero a cuarto año de la Escuela de Enfermería que cumplía el criterio de inclusión. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron un cuestionario sobre percepción de Estrés Académico organizado en dos partes: La primera parte aborda datos generales de los estudiantes y la segunda, la percepción de estrés según dimensiones de estresores, síntomas y estrategia de afrontamiento. Resultados: El mayor porcentaje de estudiantes (51,4%) perciben un nivel de estrés medio y un 44,1% un nivel alto. Más de la mitad de la población (76,6%) perciben un nivel medio de estrés en las reacciones físicas psicológicas y comportamentales ante situaciones de estrés. El 81,98% presentan un nivel medio de estrategias de afrontamiento frente a situaciones de estrés. En su mayoría se encuentran en edades de 18 a 29 años, predomina el género femenino, la, mayoría solo estudia y el mayor porcentaje refiere un rendimiento académico regular

    Las Infecciones Respiratorias Agudas (IRA) y las Enfermedades Diarreicas Agudas (EDA) son las principales causas de muerte de menores de 5 años en los países en desarrollo. Los objetivos del presente trabajo fueron: Determinar la relación entre el conocimiento que tienen los padres sobre los signos de alarma en menores de 5 años y la concurrencia inmediata a un establecimiento de salud. El estudio es descriptivo - correlacional, de corte transversal en el Centro de Salud del C.P.M. Agusto B. Leguía de Tacna durante los meses de mayo a diciembre de 2007 y enero a marzo del 2008. La población estuvo determinada por las madres que llevaron a sus hijos al Centro. De las madres (n=56), el 82,1% (46) conocen por lo menos 2 signos de alarma de las Infecciones Respiratorias Agudas (IRAS), de las cuales 25 madres que conocen el riesgo llevan a sus vástagos al establecimiento de salud; comparado con el 60,7% (34) que conocen los signos de alarma sobre Enfermedad Diarreica Aguda (EDA) y solo 16 llevan al establecimiento de salud. No se encuentra relación significativa entre el conocimiento de los signos de alarma y la concurrencia al establecimiento de salud para ser atendidos. &nbsp

    Enabling Risk Management and Adaptation to Climate Change through a Network of Peruvian Universities

    In recent decades, Latin America (LA) has been frequently and severely affected by floods and landslides. There is an urgency for adopting Comprehensive Disaster and Climate Risk Management (CRM). In 2016, a group of Peruvian universities established a network (Gestión Integral del Riesgo de Desastres y Adaptación al Cambio Climático (GIRD-ACC)) committed to the principles of CRM. This article compiles and evaluates the network results/plans and actions. A qualitative study and a methodological strategy are reported featuring: a bibliographic/network documentary review; an account of the events that led to the start and development of the network; and a case study of a three-university network. Results show that the network can help in deepening knowledge and forging a culture of risk prevention. This is by incorporating risk management and climate change awareness in professional training and intensive activity to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs -11, 13, and 17). Results indicate the importance of gaining consensus (a notoriously difficult task in LA) between the authorities and the operational departments; the role of universities’ social responsibilities; incorporating sustainability and risk management themes in the mainstream curricula; and developing a network by learning from similar groupings across LA to improve CRM within universities

    Weaning from mechanical ventilation in intensive care units across 50 countries (WEAN SAFE): a multicentre, prospective, observational cohort study

    Background Current management practices and outcomes in weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation are poorly understood. We aimed to describe the epidemiology, management, timings, risk for failure, and outcomes of weaning in patients requiring at least 2 days of invasive mechanical ventilation. Methods WEAN SAFE was an international, multicentre, prospective, observational cohort study done in 481 intensive care units in 50 countries. Eligible participants were older than 16 years, admitted to a participating intensive care unit, and receiving mechanical ventilation for 2 calendar days or longer. We defined weaning initiation as the first attempt to separate a patient from the ventilator, successful weaning as no reintubation or death within 7 days of extubation, and weaning eligibility criteria based on positive end-expiratory pressure, fractional concentration of oxygen in inspired air, and vasopressors. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients successfully weaned at 90 days. Key secondary outcomes included weaning duration, timing of weaning events, factors associated with weaning delay and weaning failure, and hospital outcomes. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03255109. Findings Between Oct 4, 2017, and June 25, 2018, 10 232 patients were screened for eligibility, of whom 5869 were enrolled. 4523 (77·1%) patients underwent at least one separation attempt and 3817 (65·0%) patients were successfully weaned from ventilation at day 90. 237 (4·0%) patients were transferred before any separation attempt, 153 (2·6%) were transferred after at least one separation attempt and not successfully weaned, and 1662 (28·3%) died while invasively ventilated. The median time from fulfilling weaning eligibility criteria to first separation attempt was 1 day (IQR 0–4), and 1013 (22·4%) patients had a delay in initiating first separation of 5 or more days. Of the 4523 (77·1%) patients with separation attempts, 2927 (64·7%) had a short wean (≤1 day), 457 (10·1%) had intermediate weaning (2–6 days), 433 (9·6%) required prolonged weaning (≥7 days), and 706 (15·6%) had weaning failure. Higher sedation scores were independently associated with delayed initiation of weaning. Delayed initiation of weaning and higher sedation scores were independently associated with weaning failure. 1742 (31·8%) of 5479 patients died in the intensive care unit and 2095 (38·3%) of 5465 patients died in hospital. Interpretation In critically ill patients receiving at least 2 days of invasive mechanical ventilation, only 65% were weaned at 90 days. A better understanding of factors that delay the weaning process, such as delays in weaning initiation or excessive sedation levels, might improve weaning success rates

    Global attitudes in the management of acute appendicitis during COVID-19 pandemic: ACIE Appy Study

    Background: Surgical strategies are being adapted to face the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommendations on the management of acute appendicitis have been based on expert opinion, but very little evidence is available. This study addressed that dearth with a snapshot of worldwide approaches to appendicitis. Methods: The Association of Italian Surgeons in Europe designed an online survey to assess the current attitude of surgeons globally regarding the management of patients with acute appendicitis during the pandemic. Questions were divided into baseline information, hospital organization and screening, personal protective equipment, management and surgical approach, and patient presentation before versus during the pandemic. Results: Of 744 answers, 709 (from 66 countries) were complete and were included in the analysis. Most hospitals were treating both patients with and those without COVID. There was variation in screening indications and modality used, with chest X-ray plus molecular testing (PCR) being the commonest (19\ub78 per cent). Conservative management of complicated and uncomplicated appendicitis was used by 6\ub76 and 2\ub74 per cent respectively before, but 23\ub77 and 5\ub73 per cent, during the pandemic (both P < 0\ub7001). One-third changed their approach from laparoscopic to open surgery owing to the popular (but evidence-lacking) advice from expert groups during the initial phase of the pandemic. No agreement on how to filter surgical smoke plume during laparoscopy was identified. There was an overall reduction in the number of patients admitted with appendicitis and one-third felt that patients who did present had more severe appendicitis than they usually observe. Conclusion: Conservative management of mild appendicitis has been possible during the pandemic. The fact that some surgeons switched to open appendicectomy may reflect the poor guidelines that emanated in the early phase of SARS-CoV-2
