Ítem Acceso Abierto Calidad de vida en pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson en el distrito 03D01(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Romero Guamán, Víctor Manuel; Romero Sacoto, Lilia Azucena; 0302714357Parkinson's Disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Objective: To determine the quality of life in adults with Parkinson's Disease. Methodology: A non-experimental, observational, cross-sectional study was conducted. Sample: The sample comprised 98 patients with Parkinson's Disease. Instruments: The validated PDQ-39 scale, consisting of 8 dimensions with 39 questions, was used. Data were analyzed using JAMOVI. Results: The average age was 74.9 years; 53% were women, 61% lived in non-adapted housing, 30% were in stage 1 of the disease, and 74% were taking Levodopa. High reliability and validity were demonstrated through Cronbach's alpha, Omega, composite rel iability, Lambda, and Average Extracted Variance, all exceeding 0.8. Most variables indicated a moderate risk, except for stigma and emotional well-being, which showed low risk —no significant differences between observed gender or housing type and quality of life. Quality of life is equally affected in men and women. Conclusions: The mean age was 74.9 years; most were women, and in stage 1 of the disease. The instrument demonstrated high validity and reliability; most dimensions were moderately affected; no significant differences were found between gender and quality of life or between housing type and quality of life. Keywords: quality of life, Parkinson's Disease, prevalence.Ítem Acceso Abierto "Conocimientos y prácticas del personal profesional de enfermería sobre el uso de antisépticos en curación de heridas.

Objective: To determine the prevalence and associated risk factors of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) at the “Homero Castanier Crespo” General Hospital in Azogues. Methodology: A descriptive, observational, cross-sectional, and retrospective study was conducted to determine the prevalence, risk factors, and treatments administered to neonates diagnosed with NRDS. The study involved the review of 296 anonymized medical records from the “Homero Castanier Crespo” General Hospital. Data were collected through a structured form containing the variables of interest. Results: The prevalence of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome over the five-year period was 15.07%. The average maternal age ranged between 25 and 26 years, with a mean gestational age of 36.25 weeks, an average birth weight of 2,690 grams, and a mean Apgar score of 7.8 at one minute post-delivery. Cesarean sections accounted for 65% of births, 54% of mothers were multiparous, and 54.05% were diagnosed with urinary tract infections. Premature rupture of membranes was absent in 94% of cases. Regarding the sex of the neonates, 66% were male. A statistically significant association was found between the Apgar score at one minute and fetal distress (p = 0.001). The treatments administered included oxygen therapy in 43% of cases, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in 33.45%, and mechanical ventilation in 7.43%. Conclusion: The identified risk factors for neonatal respiratory distress included cesarean delivery, multiparity, maternal urinary tract infection, and male sex of the newborn. The most frequently administered treatment was oxygen therapy. Keywords: respiratory distress syndrome, prevalence, newborn.
