Ítem Acceso Abierto Calidad de vida del adulto mayor en una comunidad según Betty Neuman(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Muñoz Toledo, María Belén; Ochoa Cueva, Ibeth Stefanía; Pacurucu Avila, Nube Johanna; 0106121841; 1150150447Introduction: The quality of life of older adults refers to how individuals perceive their lives, their position within cultural contexts, and their relationship with the environment. These factors depend on and are influenced by their daily activities, physical and mental health, and level of independence. The presence of pathologies, and environmental factors, whether modifiable or not, leads to complications and lower life expectancy. Methodology: A bibliographic review research was conducted in the virtual library of the Catholic University of Cuenca using databases such as ProQuest, SciELO, and Redalyc. Fifty studies relevant to the proposed topic were found, 10 documents for the introduction, and 41 articles that contributed to the posed questions. Results and discussion: Various physical, emotional, and social factors influence the lifestyle of older adults. In many cases, complications arise due to chronic diseases or an unfavorable environment, which is why, thanks to the use of quality-of-life measurement tools, it is possible to develop care interventions based on Betty Neuman's model that respond to the basic needs of everyone. Conclusions: The quality of life of older adults results from the interaction of various elements, which is why care should aim to prevent, maintain, or recover their health, taking into account their physical, psychological, and social well-being.

Objective: To compare compliance with the neonatal control standard in Ecuador in urban and rural areas in 2023 reported in the database. Materials and methods: The research is quantitative and cross-sectional, as it focuses on the collection and analysis of numerical data to assess compliance with neonatal control regulations according to geographic location. In addition, a descriptive and comparative approach will be used to examine and contrast differences in compliance between urban and rural areas of Ecuador at a single point in time (2023). Results: The analysis shows a high neonatal survival rate in Ecuador according to the reported results of newborns. These data reflect an excellent neonatal health condition in the sample and suggest that care practices and medical interventions are working well for most newborns. The low mortality rate may also be useful to assess and confirm the effectiveness of neonatal health strategies and policies in the population studied. Conclusion: The data reveal a very high neonatal survival rate, indicating that overall care practices and medical interventions are being effective. However, it is important to continue monitoring these indicators to identify possible areas for improvement"Ítem Solo Metadatos Intervenciones de enfermería en adolescentes embarazadas con enfermedades de trasmisión sexual(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Bermeo Espinoza, Carmen Verónica; Paredes Villa, Erika Paulina; Pacurucu Avila, Nube Johanna; 0104804406; 0605725001Introduction: Nursing interventions for pregnant adolescents with Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) are necessary to ensure proper prenatal care, as it is a priority for preventing infections that may occur during pregnancy. Methodology: A bibliographic review of 207 documents related to the topic was conducted, and 50 scientific articles responded to the delimited Health Sciences Descriptors: complications, preventive methods, and nursing interventions in pregnant STD-carrying adolescents. The databases consulted included Redalyc, SciELO, ScienceDirect, Dialnet, Scopus, ProQuest, and PubMed. Results and discussion: The prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases worldwide is significant, according to the World Health Organization, with millions contracting STDs daily. Among the associated factors are socioeconomic disadvantages, misinformation, and alcohol and drug intake. The therapeutic approach involves multidisciplinary care to prevent problems during pregnancy and childbirth, in many cases complications such as fetal death, cervical cancer, and infertility; therefore, nursing interventions are essential to improve the quality of life of adolescents. Conclusions: The application of nursing interventions for STDs can decrease its high rate by identifying complications and associated factors for its prevention through proper treatments and active participation of healthcare staff, enhancing the adolescent's quality of life.

This protein plays a crucial role in blood clotting in individuals. It affects approximately 1% of the global population. Methodology: A literature review study was conducted using digital databases such as PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, Taylor & Francis, and Web of Science to gather information in the scientific literature regarding nursing care for patients with Von Willebrand disease. Results and Discussion: The prevalence of Von Willebrand disease reached up to 20%. Risk factors include consanguinity, diabetes, and genetic history. Prominent treatments for Von Willebrand disease include factor VIII, neuraxial anesthesia, and tranexamic acid. Complications identified in the study were hemorrhagic disorders, excessive post-surgical bleeding, and menorrhagia. Among the nursing interventions, critical actions include the development of protocols aimed at assessing patients' condition, documenting adverse effects, and generating pharmacological interaction reports. Additionally, these interventions involve blood sampling, quantifying bleeding, monitoring treatment responses, and creating a disease screening panel. Conclusions: Considering that Von Willebrand disease is a commonly inherited pathology, it is frequently not regarded as a significant public health issue. However, risk factors such as diabetes should be taken into consideration to control the increase in the number of cases worldwide.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than one million people have acquired infections during hospitalization; HAIs are a group of diseases a patient acquires during hospital care. Methodology: A literature review was conducted in scientific databases such as Scopus, Taylor & Francis Online, Web of Science, Ovid Web, ProQuest, and PubMed to identify risk factors, prevention, hospital strategies, and specific nursing interventions. Results and Discussion: A total of one hundred and sixty articles were found, and fifty-five were selected according to the topic and inclusion criteria. The risk factors found are age limits, cause of hospitalization, invasive procedures, and noncompliance with biosecurity measures; for this reason, prophylactic processes are carried out in health centers, emphasizing continuous training of personnel and correction of practices in which nursing personnel play a fundamental role in providing direct patient care. Conclusions: Despite the existence of multiple risk factors that predispose the patient to contract HCAI, prevention is the main approach strategy for institutions and personnel because there is no specific treatment and represents a burden for public health that increases significantly, in addition to the morbidity and mortality of patients, worsening their prognosis and minimizing their life expectancy in the short and long term. Keywords: Hospital-acquired infection, nosocomial infection, patient safety, hand disinfection, nursing care.
