Ítem Acceso Abierto Calidad de vida en adultos mayores con hipertensión arterial.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023-12-04) Buestán Paucar, Ana Isabel; Vicuña Palacios, Andrea; 0302437835The nursing profession is primarily dedicated to human care, where the execution of activities and procedures requires extensive knowledge regarding their correct implementation. Biosecurity is fundamental in the daily practice of healthcare. This study aims to determine compliance level with biosecurity measures in nursing practice in Primary Health Care. The qualitative, descriptive, and bibliographic research is based on a documentary review of previous studies by various authors, using relevant databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Elsevier, SciELO, and Google Scholar. The PRISMA Method was applied for analysis and selection, following established inclusion parameters and criteria. Most professionals indicated familiarity with biosecurity recommendations related to Primary Health Care, including using personal protective equipment and nurse-patient safety protocols. The most common biosecurity practices among caregivers are hand washing, using safety barriers usage when handling sharp objects, and waste classification and disposal. However, the availability of knowledge does not guarantee the effective implementation of these biosecurity measures in Primary Health Care, highlighting that some professionals may lack the expected coherent knowledge. Strengthening the acknowledgment of the nursing team and constant monitoring of compliance with biosecurity measures are emphasized.Ítem Acceso Abierto Complicaciones de la diabetes Mellitus tipo II en adultos mayores a nivel nacional(Universidad Católica de Cuenca. Extensión San Pablo de La Troncal, 2024-01-08) Zumba Vera, Dayana Patricia; Montero Galarza, Gloria; 0942350943This study aimed to identify the complications associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in older adults in Ecuador. The methodology employed a qualitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional approach that involved the selection of articles from various scientific journal databases from the last five years through a comprehensive literature review. The findings from the reviewed studies converge to indicate that T2DM in older adults is associated with a number of multifaceted complications. The most frequently identified complications encompass thyroid alterations, arterial hypertension, obesity, renal diseases, neuropathies, retinopathies, cardiopathies, and metabolic disorders. Furthermore, a significant correlation is evidenced between diabetes and functional loss, decreased muscular mass, and comorbidities such as arterial hypertension, renal disease, visual impairment, cardiovascular disease, and amputations, alongside an increased risk of premature mortality. The study highlights the need to develop more effective healthcare and prevention strategies for these complications aimed at enhancing this vulnerable population’s quality of life.Ítem Acceso Abierto Factores predisponentes de riesgo de enfermedad cerebro vascular en adultos mayores(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023-07) Quintuña Velecela, Joselin Paola; Montero Galarza, Gloria; 0302272588Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) is a significant public health problem due to its high morbidity and mortality rates. There are predisposing risk factors that contribute to its occurrence. This study aimed to determine the predisposing risk factors for CVD in older adults, seeking to understand the basic concepts related to the disease and its predisposing factors, perform a documentary analysis, and describe the leading factors that increase the risk of the disease in older adults through a quantitative and analytical literature review. A total of 25 publications from various authors were collected, and eight were selected following the PRISMA method. The results showed that there are non-modifiable risk factors such as older adult age (80%) and male gender (66.4%), as well as modifiable factors such as tobacco use (40.78%), alcohol consumption (64.6%), and preexisting conditions like dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus (83.3%), and high blood pressure as the principal risk factor (61.78%). It was concluded that CVD could be prevented by adopting lifestyle changes from an early age, monitoring and medical control of patients with chronic non-communicable diseases, promoting self-care, monitoring morbidities, and strengthening preventive activities among older adults.
