Impact of Zika on infants

Objective: To describe the level of impairment in performance skills and maturational age of children in the Valientes del Futuro program with neonatal Zika virus infection. Materials and Methods: The research is framed with a quantitative approach of a correlational type supported by field research and non-experimental design, with a sample of 15 infants 3, 4 and 5 years old. The collection technique used was the Abbreviated Scale. Results: Regarding the areas evaluated for the maturational age, it was found that the weighting of motor skills and praxis found a correlation coefficient of 0.601 (moderate) and in the sample of the execution skills of 3-year-old children with gestational zika a correlation of 0.853 (strong) was obtained. Conclusions: There is a correlation between infants with gestational zika and strong affectation in the actions or behaviors that a patient has to move and physically interact with activities, and objects and thus perform a learned motor activity

Spare time and leisure activities in older adults, during social isolation

Human beings, upon reaching this stage of old age, experience a phase of social isolation, caused by the decline of body structures and functions at the biopsychosocial level. Likewise, in March 2020, as a preventive measure to curb the spread of the covid-19 virus, social isolation is abruptly and permanently decreed for the entire Colombian population, with a greater impact on this population due to comorbidity criteria. Hence the importance of evaluating the different leisure and free time activities carried out by institutionalized older adults in times of social isolation. A descriptive quantitative methodological approach was adopted. The results show that older adults invest much of their time in activities that do not require greater physical effort or professional accompaniment, such as watching television or listening to the radio (91%). However, some of the activities have been abandoned as a result of the physical deterioration associated with the aging process, such as reading and walking, observed in 67% and 36% of the cases, respectively

Interacción social de las mujeres privadas de la libertad, que participan en programas académicos

The aim of the study was to establish the social interaction of women deprived of their liberty who participate in educational programmes. A descriptive observational study was carried out with women between the ages of 19 and 58 who are accused and/or convicted of different crimes and who are in a detention centre in a border city in Colombia. The characteristic profile of this social group includes apathy, hostility and aggressiveness, in addition to poor occupational performance at work, school and training level, which limits the execution of lawful and productive activities in a competent manner. Two assessment instruments such as the Cotes Occupational Behaviour Scale and a checklist were used to determine the performance of women deprived of their liberty in the execution of their socio-educational role. It was determined that this population often comes from dysfunctional homes in which they were subjected to a series of unfavourable situations for their performance, which contributed to the loss of values and identity. From the Occupational Behaviour Scale it is concluded that social relationships are affected as they establish barriers to social and family interaction, triggering alterations in the processes of socialisation. This leads to an implicit occupational imbalance that translates into their routine at the level of self-care, leisure, training, work, satisfaction with their occupations and the loss of occupational interest in participating in educational activities.El objetivo del estudio consistió en establecer como es la interacción social en las mujeres privadas de la libertad que participan en los programas educativos. Se aplicó un estudio observacional descriptivo, con mujeres en edades comprendidas entre 19 y 58 años que son sindicadas y/o condenadas de diferentes delitos, que se encuentran en el Centro de Reclusión de una ciudad fronteriza de Colombia. El perfil característico de este grupo social incluye conductas de apatía, hostilidad y agresividad, además del deficiente desempeño ocupacional a nivel laboral, escolar y de capacitación, que limita la ejecución de actividades lícitas y productivas de manera competente. Se utilizaron dos instrumentos de valoración tales como la Escala de Comportamiento Ocupacional de Cotes y una lista de chequeo con el fin de determinar cómo es el desempeño de las mujeres privadas de la libertad en la ejecución de su rol socioeducativo. Se pudo determinar que esta población a menudo proviene de hogares disfuncionales en los que fueron sometidas a una serie de situaciones desfavorables para su desempeño, lo que contribuyó a la pérdida de valores e identidad. De la Escala de Comportamiento Ocupacional se concluye que las relaciones sociales se ven afectadas ya que establecen barreras de interacción social y familiar, desencadenando en alteraciones de los procesos de socialización. Lo anterior lleva implícito un desequilibrio ocupacional que se traduce en su rutina a nivel de autocuidado, de ocio, de formación, de trabajo, de satisfacción con sus ocupaciones y la pérdida de interés ocupacional en participar en actividades educativas

Afectaciones ocupacionales y emocionales derivadas del aislamiento social en tiempos del Covid-19

Due to the rapid spread of Covid-19 in the world, many countries have agreed on compulsory social isolation as a strategy to slow down the spread of the disease. This research seeks to characterize the effects of mandatory isolation on teachers and students in the Occupational Therapy program at the University of Santander - Cúcuta. It adopts as a methodological approach the descriptive cross-sectional quantitative. We designed our own instrument based on some already known, which was validated by expert opinion and administered to informants in its online version. The results show that teachers have been more receptive to changes in daily routines and habits, while students show greater resistance. Regarding the distribution of the informants in the diverse levels of depression, it could be determined that in the students there is more affectation, although there are aspects that are common in both populations, such as the loss of sleep, the increase of appetite, of feelings of sadness, tiredness and concentration.Debido a la rapidez de propagación del Covid-19 en el mundo, muchos países  han  coincidido en el aislamiento social obligatorio como una estrategia para desacelerar el contagio. Por ello en Colombia se decretó el cierre de todo tipo de espacios en donde se congreguen las personas para evitar contagios masivos, ordenando el confinamiento obligatorio en los hogares. Esta investigación busca caracterizar los efectos derivados del aislamiento obligatorio en docentes y estudiantes del programa de Terapia Ocupacional de la Universidad de Santander – Cúcuta. Se adopta como enfoque metodológico el cuantitativo descriptivo transversal. Se diseña un instrumento propio fundamentado en unos ya conocidos, que fue validado por juicio de expertos y administrado a los informantes en su versión on-line. Los resultados evidencian que los docentes han sido más receptivos al cambio de rutinas y hábitos diarios, mientras que en  los estudiantes se observa mayor resistencia. Respecto a la distribución de los informantes en los diversos niveles de depresión, se pudo determinar que en los estudiantes se evidencia mayor afectación, aunque hay aspectos que son comunes en  ambas  poblaciones,  como  lo son la pérdida de sueño, el aumento del apetito, de sentimientos de tristeza, cansancio y concentración.

Zika em gestação. Impacto nas habilidades de execução e idade maturacional em bebés

Introduction: Zika virus is transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes, but it can also occur through an intrauterine infection before delivery, and the virus passes to the fetus. Objective: describe the level of impairment in performance skills and maturation age of brave boys and girls of the future program with neonatal Zika virus infection. Materials and Methods: Research is framed with a quantitative correlational approach supported by field research and non-experimental design, with a sample of 15 infants aged 3, 4 and 5 years. The data collection technique used was the Abbreviated Scale. Results: Regarding the areas evaluated with respect to maturational age, it was found that the weighting of motor skills and praxis found a correlation coefficient of 0.601 (moderate) and in the sample of performance skills of 3-year-old children. With gestational zika, a correlation of 0.853 (strong) was obtained. Discussion: Zika virus infection in boys and girls, acquired during pregnancy, strongly limits the execution skills typical of maturational age in this population. Conclusions: there is a correlation between infants with gestational zika and strong involvement in the actions or behaviors that a patient has in moving and physically interacting with activities, objects and thus performing a learned motor activity.

Objetivo: describir el nivel de afectación en destrezas de ejecución y edad madurativa de niños del programa Valientes del Futuro con la infección neonatal por virus Zika. Materiales y Métodos: La investigación se enmarca con enfoque cuantitativo de tipo correlacional apoyada con una investigación de campo y diseño no experimental, con una muestra de 15 infantes de 3, 4 y 5 años. La técnica de recolección utilizada fue la Escala Abreviada. Resultados: En cuanto a las áreas evaluadas con respecto a la edad madurativa se encontró que la ponderación de la destreza motora y praxis halló un coeficiente de correlación de 0,601 (moderada) y en la muestra de las destrezas de ejecución de los niños de 3 años con zika gestacional se obtuvo una correlación de 0,853 (fuerte). Discusión: la infección por virus zika en niños y niñas, adquirida durante la gestación, limita fuertemente las destrezas de ejecución propias de la edad madurativa en esta población. Conclusiones: Existe correlación entre los infantes con zika gestacional y la afectación fuerte en las acciones o comportamientos que un paciente tenga para moverse e interactuar físicamente con actividades, objetos y por ende realizar una actividad motora aprendida.
