Estrés académico y procrastinación académica de estudiantes de secundaria de una institución educativa pública del Callao, 2022

La investigación tuvo como objetivo establecer la relación entre el estrés académico y la procrastinación académica de estudiantes de educación secundaria de una institución pública, Callao 2022. Fue de tipo básica, no experimental, de nivel correlacional y de corte transversal. Participaron 104 estudiantes de cuarto y quinto de secundaria, los cuales fueron seleccionados a través de un muestreo no probabilístico y por conveniencia. Se empleó el inventario de estrés académico SISCO y la escala de procrastinación académica EPA. Los datos fueron organizados y procesados a través de los programas Microsoft Excel y SPSS versión 23. Los resultados evidenciaron que del total de estudiantes el 74% presentaban nivel moderado de estrés y el 86,5% nivel medio de procrastinación, al aplicar la prueba estadística Rho de Spearman se obtuvo un p valor =0,002 y un coeficiente = 0,296 lo que permite determinar que existe relación directa entre ambas variables. Lo que significa, que si los estudiantes perciben a sus demandas académicas fuera de su control y sientan que estas afectan su bienestar psicológico y físico, existirá mayor probabilidad de presentar dificultades en la ejecución de sus actividades, observándose así conductas de aplazamiento o retras

Global economic burden of unmet surgical need for appendicitis

Background There is a substantial gap in provision of adequate surgical care in many low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to identify the economic burden of unmet surgical need for the common condition of appendicitis. Methods Data on the incidence of appendicitis from 170 countries and two different approaches were used to estimate numbers of patients who do not receive surgery: as a fixed proportion of the total unmet surgical need per country (approach 1); and based on country income status (approach 2). Indirect costs with current levels of access and local quality, and those if quality were at the standards of high-income countries, were estimated. A human capital approach was applied, focusing on the economic burden resulting from premature death and absenteeism. Results Excess mortality was 4185 per 100 000 cases of appendicitis using approach 1 and 3448 per 100 000 using approach 2. The economic burden of continuing current levels of access and local quality was US $92 492 million using approach 1 and$73 141 million using approach 2. The economic burden of not providing surgical care to the standards of high-income countries was $95 004 million using approach 1 and$75 666 million using approach 2. The largest share of these costs resulted from premature death (97.7 per cent) and lack of access (97.0 per cent) in contrast to lack of quality. Conclusion For a comparatively non-complex emergency condition such as appendicitis, increasing access to care should be prioritized. Although improving quality of care should not be neglected, increasing provision of care at current standards could reduce societal costs substantially
