Item type: Ítem , Access status: Embargo , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2026) Argudo Palomeque, José SebastiánItem type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Anteproyecto de un hospital básico en el cantón Nangaritza: mejoramiento de la atención médica en la región amazónica ecuatoriana(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2026) Palta Condoy, Bryan StevenResidents of Nangaritza Canton, in the Ecuadorian Amazon, face barriers to accessing specialized healthcare due to long travel distances and poor road conditions. The Guayzimi Health Center is unable to meet the current demand for emergency services. This study proposes the development of a preliminary architectural design for a basic hospital providing secondary care in the parish of Guayzimi, incorporating bioclimatic and sustainable design principles to improve the population's access to healthcare services. The study adopts a descriptive and design-oriented approach using mixed methods, including a review of regulations, an analysis of architectural precedents, a site analysis, and a survey administered to 169 respondents. Of these, 88.9% considered emergency care insufficient, while 93.3% reported having to travel outside the canton to receive medical care and expressed support for the establishment of a basic hospital. The preliminary design separates circulation flows by functional zone and floor level, takes advantage of vertical development, incorporates natural lighting, rainwater harvesting, and locally available materials such as laurel wood and guadua bamboo.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Propuesta de anteproyecto arquitectónico de un subcentro de salud tipo B mediante sistemas constructivos de caña guadúa(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2026) Tapia Peralta, Marcela PatriciaThis study presents the design of a preliminary architectural proposal for a primary healthcare center in the parish of Los Encuentros, Yantzaza canton, Zamora Chinchipe province, Ecuador. The proposal is based on an analysis of the area's territorial, urban, and functional conditions, as well as the deficiencies of the existing healthcare facilities. It addresses the need for adequate spaces for primary healthcare services, considering functionality, accessibility, and adaptation to the local climatic conditions. The project is justified by the importance of strengthening rural healthcare infrastructure and contributing to the well-being of the population through efficient architectural design. The study is descriptive and applied in nature, focusing on the development of the preliminary architectural proposal through urban and architectural analyses, a literature review, the examination of architectural precedents, and on-site data collection. The beneficiary population comprises the inhabitants of Los Encuentros parish and surrounding areas. As a result, a preliminary architectural proposal is developed that incorporates bioclimatic design principles, functional organization, and materials suited to the local environment, with the aim of improving spatial quality and access to healthcare services.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto arquitectónico de rehabilitación de la Plaza Cívica 9 de Octubre orientado a la regeneración urbana y social(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2026) Cajamarca Sangurima, Juan Pablo; Carrión Sarmiento, Juan AndrésThe “9 de Octubre Civic Plaza”, located next to the “9 de Octubre” Market in the Historic Center of Cuenca, exhibits physical deterioration, functional disorganization, disorderly informal commerce, limited vegetation and shade, inadequate spaces for lingering, and perceived issues with safety and lighting. This study aimed to develop an urban-architectural proposal to improve the plaza’s functionality, accessibility, and spatial quality while strengthening its urban and social role. The research employed a mixed-methods approach with a descriptive-analytical and design-oriented scope, integrating a theoretical review, case study analysis, direct observation, photographic and cartographic surveys, field visits, and questionnaires. The study population consisted of current and regular users of the area, and 25 questionnaires were administered using non-probability convenience sampling. The assessment revealed a predominance of transient activities and shopping over resting and social interaction. In response, the proposal reorganizes commercial activities, establishes continuous pedestrian routes, and incorporates spaces for lingering, vegetation, shade, lighting, and multifunctional areas while preserving the plaza’s relationship with the market and its heritage context.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Embargo , Síndrome de burnout en los internos de enfermería de la Universidad Católica de Cuenca, año 2026(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2026) Loja Castillo, Cristina Anabela; Neira Andrade, Mercy NubeBurnout syndrome is a response to chronic stress associated with academic and healthcare settings, characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a decline in personal fulfillment. The study aimed to assess burnout syndrome among nursing internship students at the Catholic University of Cuenca in 2026. The study was conducted as a quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive-correlational, cross-sectional study involving 233 internship students. Data were collected using a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory for Healthcare Staff (MBI-HSS). Key findings included a predominance of female participants (78.5%), a mean age of 24.5 years, single marital status (88.4%), hospital rotations (74.7%), and a majority reporting satisfaction with their internship (52.4%). Emotional exhaustion was high in 11.6% of residents, depersonalization in 6.9%, and personal fulfillment was low in 24.9%; 37.8% showed at least one dimension at a critical level (high emotional exhaustion or depersonalization, or low personal fulfillment). Nonparametric inferential analysis identified significant associations between emotional exhaustion and satisfaction with the internship (η² = 0.232), academic workload (η² = 0.188), institutional support (η² = 0.177), academic location, rotation area, and marital status; gender, age, cultural self-identification, and place of residence did not show significant differences. Keywords: Psychological Exhaustion; Nursing Students; Clinical Rotations and Residency; Depersonalization; Psychological Stress.
