Resumen Introducción: La Escala de Estrés Percibido-4 (EEP-4) es una medida de autoinforme ultrabreve para evaluar el estrés psicológico. Este estudio evaluó las propiedades psicométricas del EEP-4 en Colombia. Método: Un total de 1911 participantes adultos con educación universitaria completaron el EEP-4. Se exploraron las características de los ítems y las subescalas. La dimensionalidad se evaluó mediante análisis de componentes principales y análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC), incorporando una examinación de invarianza (configural, métrica, escalar y estricta) según las características sociodemográficas. También se calculó la validez de constructo (convergente y discriminante), los índices de fiabilidad, los grupos conocidos y la validez predictiva. Resultados: El AFC mostró que el modelo de un factor (estrés psicológico) con efectos de método (términos de error correlacionados en los ítems con frases negativas) era el más apropiado según los índices de ajuste y las consideraciones de parsimonia, siendo invariante según el género y la edad, pero no según el nivel de ingresos y la situación laboral. La consistencia interna fue adecuada para el EEP-4. Se identificaron correlaciones positivas significativas del EEP-4 con la depresión y la ansiedad, así como correlaciones negativas significativas con el crecimiento postraumático y la resiliencia. El EEP-4 mostró una capacidad adecuada para predecir posibles síntomas de depresión y ansiedad, así como factores protectores como la resiliencia y el crecimiento postraumático. Se observaron puntuaciones más altas en la EEP-4 entre los jóvenes, así como entre las personas con ingresos más bajos y en situación de desempleo. Conclusiones: Estos hallazgos sugieren que la EEP-4 podría ser una herramienta fiable y válida para evaluar el estrés psicológico en colombianos con educación universitaria.

Abstract Introduction: The Perceived Stress Scale-4 (PSS-4) is an ultra-brief self-report measure to assess psychological stress. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the PSS-4 in Colombia. Method: A total of 1,911 adult participants with a university education completed the PSS-4. The characteristics of the items and the subscales were explored. The dimensionality was assessed using principal component analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), incorporating an examination of invariance (configural, metric, scalar, and strict) across socio-demographic characteristics. Construct validity (convergent and discriminant), reliability indices, know-groups, and predictive validity were also computed. Results: CFA showed that the one-factor model (psychological stress) with method effects (correlated error terms on the negative-phrased items) was the most appropriate according to fit indices and parsimony considerations, being invariant across gender and age, but not across income level and work status. Internal consistency was adequate for the PSS-4. Significant positive correlations of the PSS-4 were identified with depression and anxiety, as well as significant negative correlations were identified with post-traumatic growth and resilience. The PSS-4 showed adequate capacity to predict potential depressive and anxiety symptoms, as well as protective factors such as resilience and post-traumatic growth. Higher scores on the PSS-4 were observed among young people, as well as among people with lower incomes and those who are unemployed. Conclusions: These findings suggest that the PSS-4 can be a reliable and valid tool for assessing psychological stress in Colombians with a university education.

Resumen Introducción: Es poco lo que se han estudiado en América Latina los factores asociados con mortalidad en pacientes con COVID-19 ventilados mecánicamente. Objetivo: Identificar los factores asociados con mortalidad en pacientes con COVID-19 manejados con ventilación mecánica. Métodos: Este estudio prospectivo se adelantó en un solo centro entre los meses de abril y octubre de 2020 e incluyó pacientes con COVID-19 manejados con ventilación mecánica. Se excluyeron pacientes que fallecieron en las primeras 24 horas después de la intubación orotraqueal. Se recopilaron datos de las características clínicas, resultados de laboratorio, intervenciones ventilatorias y desenlaces, y se hizo una comparación entre el grupo de pacientes fallecidos y el grupo de sobrevivientes. Se examinó la asociación entre estos factores y la muerte intrahospitalaria, y las covariables relevantes se incluyeron en un modelo multivariable de regresión logística. Resultados: Se incluyó un total de 273 pacientes (72.5% hombres), la tasa de mortalidad fue del 37% (IC 95% 31% - 43%), la mediana de edad fue de 36 años (RIC 52-72) y la comorbilidad más frecuente fue la hipertensión (45%). Los factores asociados con mortalidad fueron: edad avanzada (OR 1.08; IC 95% 1.05-1.11), género masculino (OR 2.79; IC 95% 1.30-6.01), inmunosupresión (OR 3.98; IC 95% 1.57-10.06), trombocitopenia (OR 3.84; CI 95% 1.47-10.01), presión de distensión (OR 1.20; IC 95% 1.07-1.34) y el uso de diálisis (OR 4.94; IC 95% 2.56-9.51). La presencia de hipertensión (OR 0.35; IC 95% 0.17-0.71) y de fiebre (OR 0.51; IC 95% 0.27-0.98) al momento de la hospitalización demostraron tener un efecto protector. Conclusiones: Se encontró asociación entre la edad avanzada, el sexo masculino, la inmunosupresión, la trombocitopenia, una presión de distensión elevada, el uso de diálisis, la ausencia de fiebre o de hipertensión y un mayor riesgo de mortalidad en pacientes con COVID-19 ventilados mecánicamente.

Abstract Introduction: Factors associated with mortality among mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients have been scarcely studied in Latin America. Objective: To identify factors associated with mortality in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients. Methods: This prospective study was undertaken in a single center between April and October 2020, recruiting COVID-19 patients managed with mechanical ventilation. We excluded patients who died within the first 24 hours after endotracheal intubation. Clinical characteristics, laboratory results, ventilation interventions, and outcomes were collected and compared between the deceased and surviving groups. The association between these factors and hospital death was examined, and relevant covariates were included in a multivariate logistic regression model. Results: A total of 273 patients were included (72.5% male), the mortality rate was 37% (95% CI 31% - 43%), and the median age was 63 years (IQR 52-72). The most frequent comorbidity was hypertension (45%). Factors associated with mortality were: older age (OR 1.08; 95% CI 1.051.11), male gender (OR 2.79; 95% CI 1.30-6.01), immunosuppression (OR 3.98; 95% CI 1.57-10.06), thrombocytopenia (OR 3.84; CI 95% 1.47-10.01), driving pressure (OR 1.20; 95% CI 1.07-1.34) and the use of dialysis (OR 4.94; 95% CI 2.56-9.51). Chronic hypertension (OR 0.35; 95% CI 0.17-0.71) and fever on admission (OR 0.51; 95% CI 0.27-0.98) were found to have a protective effect. Conclusions: Older age, male sex, immunosuppression, thrombocytopenia, increased driving pressure, use of dialysis, absence of fever, or arterial hypertension were associated with an increased risk of mortality among mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients.

Resumo Introdução: O transplante de rim de doador vivo é considerado a terapia renal substitutiva ideal por oferecer menor taxa de complicações e possibilitar uma resposta eficiente à grande demanda por enxertos no sistema de saúde. A seleção criteriosa e o acompanhamento adequado dos doadores constituem um pilar fundamental dessa modalidade terapêutica, sendo essencial a identificação dos indivíduos em maior risco de disfunção renal pós-nefrectomia. Objetivo: Identificar fatores de risco para uma Taxa de Compensação (TC) da função renal inferior a 70% 12 meses após a nefrectomia. Métodos: Estudo observacional, retrospectivo e longitudinal conduzido com doadores de rim vivo acompanhados no Hospital Regional do Baixo Amazonas entre 2016 e 2022. Foram coletados dados correspondentes a variáveis sociodemográficas, comorbidades e parâmetros de função renal. Resultados: Foram incluídos 32 pacientes na amostra final. Destes, 14 (43,75%) obtiveram TC < 70% 12 meses após a doação. A regressão logística identificou a obesidade (Odds Ratio [IC95%]: 10.6 [1.7–65.2]), albuminúria (Odds Ratio [IC95%]: 2.41 [1.2–4.84]) e proteinúria (Odds Ratio [IC95%]: 1.14 [1.03–1.25]) como fatores de risco. A taxa de filtração glomerular atuou como fator de proteção (Odds Ratio [IC95%]: 0.92 [0.85–0.99]). Conclusão: Obesidade, albuminúria e proteinúria demonstraram impacto negativo na taxa de compensação renal em curto prazo, o que reitera a necessidade de estudos acerca das implicações prognósticas desses fatores. Além disso, reforça-se a necessidade de avaliação cuidadosa e individualizada dos possíveis doadores, com acompanhamento rigoroso, especialmente para indivíduos de maior risco.

Abstract Introduction: Living donor kidney transplantation is considered the ideal renal replacement therapy because it has a lower complication rate and allows an efficient response to the high demand for grafts in the healthcare system. Careful selection and adequate monitoring of donors is a key element in transplantation. Individuals at greater risk of developing kidney dysfunction after nephrectomy must be identified. Objective: To identify risk factors associated with a renal compensation rate (CR) below 70% 12 months after nephrectomy. Methods: This observational retrospective longitudinal study included living kidney donors followed up at the Lower Amazon Regional Hospital between 2016 and 2022. Data related to sociodemographic variables, comorbid conditions and kidney function parameters were collected. Results: The study enrolled 32 patients. Fourteen (43.75%) had a CR < 70% 12 months after kidney donation. Logistic regression found obesity (Odds Ratio [95%CI]: 10.6 [1.7–65.2]), albuminuria (Odds Ratio [95%CI]: 2.41 [1.2–4.84]) and proteinuria (Odds Ratio [95%CI]: 1.14 [1.03–1.25]) as risk factors. Glomerular filtration rate was a protective factor (Odds Ratio [95% CI]: 0.92 [0.85–0.99]). Conclusion: Obesity, albuminuria and proteinuria adversely affected short-term renal compensation rate. Further studies are needed to uncover the prognostic implications tied to these risk factors. Our findings also supported the need for careful individualized assessment of potential donors and closer monitoring of individuals at higher risk.

Resumen Introducción: El cáncer de mama es una enfermedad de importancia mundial, caracterizada por un crecimiento anormal de las células que están en el tejido mamario, causada por distintos factores, los cuales pueden ser genéticos, esporádicos, hereditarios y ambientales. Objetivo: Analizar cómo se relacionan los diferentes factores con vigencia y no vigencia de la mamografía en mujeres chilenas dentro del rango etario entre 50 a 69 años, en el año 2023. Método: Estudio observacional, analítico y descriptivo. De esta forma, se analizaron dos grupos que investigar: las mujeres de 50 a 69 años con mamografía vigente (control) y las mujeres que no la tenían vigente (caso), para poder relacionar diversas variables en relación con ello. El total de la muestra fue de 207 mujeres, 119 controles y 88 casos. Resultados: Según la encuesta, las mujeres mayores de 59 años con una odds ratio de 1 (p < 0,87) no tenían diferencias respecto a la vigencia de su mamografía con las menores de 60 años, no así en las mujeres que no se preocupan por su salud, las cuales tienen cuatro veces más probabilidad de no tener la mamografía vigente (p < 0,81). Por otra parte, las mujeres que no poseían el conocimiento sobre la función de la mamografía poseen siete veces más probabilidad de no tener su mamografía vigente. Conclusiones: Es necesario realizar un abordaje diferenciado en cada uno de los factores, tanto de riesgo como protector, asociado al desarrollo del cáncer de mama.

Abstract Introduction: Breast cancer is a disease of global importance, characterized by abnormal growth of cells in the breast tissue, caused by different factors, which can be genetic, sporadic, hereditary and environmental. Objective: Analyze how the different factors are related to validity and non-validity of mammography in Chilean women within the age range between 50 and 69 years, in the year 2023. Method: Observational, analytical and descriptive study. In this way, the two groups to be investigated were analyzed: women between 50 and 69 years old with a current mammogram (control) and women who did not have it current (case), in order to relate various variables in relation to it. The total sample was 207 women, 119 controls and 88 cases. Results: According to the survey, women over 59 years of age with an odds ratio 1 (p < 0.87) had no differences regarding the validity of their mammography with those under 60 years of age, but not in women who do not worry about their health, which are four times more likely to not have a current mammogram (p < 0.81). On the other hand, women who did not have knowledge about the function of mammography are seven times more likely to not have a current mammogram. Conclusions: It is necessary to carry out a differentiated approach to each of the factors, both risk and protective, associated with the development of breast cancer.

RESUMEN Introducción: La tuberculosis es una enfermedad de interés en salud laboral y existe una mayor probabilidad de infección y enfermedad en los trabajadores de la salud que en la población general. Esto sucede como consecuencia de la exposición a factores de riesgo ocupacionales y al déficit de implementación de las medidas de control de tuberculosis. Objetivo: Determinar la relación de los factores sociodemográficos, ocupacionales, conocimientos y prácticas sobre la tuberculosis con el uso adecuado del respirador N95 en los trabajadores de la salud de un hospital de la ciudad de Bogotá, Colombia. Métodos: Estudio de tipo cuantitativo y diseño transversal. Se realizó un muestreo aleatorio simple estratificado por ocupación y área de trabajo. Se utilizaron estadísticos descriptivos y pruebas no-paramétricas que se evaluaron a un nivel significancia del 5 % (P< 0,05). Resultados: Participaron 250 trabajadores de la salud. Los niveles educativos de universitario y posgradual (P< 0,001), las ocupaciones de enfermero, médico especialista, médico general y bacteriólogo (P< 0,001), las áreas de trabajo de hospitalización, cuidado intensivo adultos y urgencias (P= 0,034), se asociaron con el uso adecuado del respirador N95. Los conocimientos correctos sobre la tuberculosis (P< 0,001), se relacionaron con el uso adecuado del respirador N95. Conclusiones: Mediante acciones educativas se recomienda fortalecer los conocimientos y prácticas de los trabajadores de la salud sobre la tuberculosis y el uso adecuado del respirador N95, en especial hacia las ocupaciones de auxiliar de enfermería y otros auxiliares y tecnólogos de la salud, dado que estadísticamente mostraron un menor uso adecuado del respirador N95.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Tuberculosis is a disease of interest in occupational health and there is a greater probability of infection and disease in health workers than in the general population. This happens as a consequence of exposure to occupational risk factors and the lack of implementation of tuberculosis control measures. Objective: Determine the relationship of sociodemographic, occupational factors, knowledge and practices about tuberculosis with the appropriate use of the N95 respirator in health workers in a hospital in the city of Bogotá, Colombia. Methods: Quantitative study and cross-sectional design. A simple random sampling stratified by occupation and work area was carried out. Descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests were used and were evaluated at a significance level of 5% (P < 0.05). Results: 250 health workers participated. The educational levels of university and postgraduate (P < 0.001), the occupations of nurse, specialist doctor, general practitioner and bacteriologist (P < 0.001), the work areas of hospitalization, adult intensive care and emergencies (P = 0.034), were associated with the proper use of the N95 respirator. Correct knowledge about tuberculosis (P < 0.001) was related to the proper use of the N95 respirator. Conclusions: Through educational actions, it´s recommended to strengthen the knowledge and practices of health workers about tuberculosis and the proper use of the N95 respirator, especially towards the occupations of nursing assistant and other health assistants and technologists, given that statistically showed less adequate use of the N95 respirator.

RESUMEN Introducción: Los factores y riesgos psicosociales laborales han adquirido mayor relevancia para el análisis y transformación de las dinámicas laborales en las últimas décadas. Sin embargo, resulta compleja la comprensión y diferenciación entre estos conceptos, lo cual dificulta su gestión efectiva. Se propone debatir sobre la dialéctica de los factores psicosociales: de riesgo, protectores y riesgos psicosociales, su diferenciación y su gestión eficaz. Desarrollo: Se dialoga con definiciones ofrecidas por diferentes expertos sobre los factores psicosociales laborales: de riesgo, protectores y los riesgos psicosociales, arribando a una comprensión de su diferenciación y su dialéctica en la práctica. A su vez, se recomiendan pautas de acción para una gestión eficaz de la seguridad y salud laboral, que integre los factores psicosociales desde un enfoque proactivo, para potenciar el desarrollo humano en el trabajo. Conclusiones: Se sugiere un marco de referencia para una gestión integral, integrada y participativa de la seguridad y salud en el trabajo en las organizaciones laborales, con énfasis en un enfoque psicosocial y proactivo.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Psychosocial work factors and risks have acquired greater relevance for the analysis and transformation of work dynamics in recent decades. However, the understanding and differentiation between these concepts is complex, which makes their effective management difficult. It is proposed to debate the dialectic of psychosocial factors: risk, protective and psychosocial risks, their differentiation and effective management. Development: There is dialogue with definitions offered by different experts on psychosocial work factors: risk, protective and psychosocial risks, arriving at an understanding of their differentiation and dialectic in practice. At the same time, action guidelines are recommended for effective management of occupational health and safety, which integrates psychosocial factors from a proactive approach, to enhance human development at work. Conclusions: A frame of reference is suggested for a comprehensive, integrated and participatory management of safety and health at work in labor organizations, with emphasis on a psychosocial and proactive approach.

Abstract The COVID 19 pandemic generated consequences for children, reflecting the social and psychological impact worldwide due to changes such as the absence of face-to-face classes and the transfer of education to homes. This not only represented a challenge for children, but also for families and educational institutions, who are in charge of the development of children's emotional regulation. This qualitative research based on grounded theory, aims to analyze the role of protective and risk factors related to the development of emotional regulation in children aged 4 and 5 years that were present during the context of remote education due to the COVID-19 pandemic. in 2020. For this, 5 interviews were conducted virtually with staff from an educational institution, as well as with 2 mothers of students who were in preschool in 2020, and a focus group with 5 mothers. In addition, an in-person activity was carried out with two groups of children, lasting approximately 40 minutes with each group, who were taught the story of the “Color Monster” to talk and identify emotions, as well as a space to paint and develop a dialogue, which allowed us to know their perspective of the pandemic, and the labeling of emotions they have. Protective and risk factors were also identified, such as listening to and discussing emotions, communication between family and school, support in the educational process, among others. It is concluded that, similar to international studies, this situation caused changes in daily routines, eating, sleeping, socialization with peers, and childhood emotions. For families it meant assuming a new role as educators for which they were not prepared. Both teachers and families highlighted the overload experienced. Protective and risk factors were identified such as listening to and discussing emotions, communication between family and school, support in the educational process, among others.

Resumen La pandemia por COVID 19 generó consecuencias en la niñez. La afectación a nivel social y psicológico se reflejó mundialmente debido a cambios como la ausencia de clases presenciales y el traslado de la educación a los hogares. Esto no solo significó un reto para la niñez, sino también para las familias y para las instituciones educativas a cargo del desarrollo de la regulación emocional de esta. Esta investigación, de corte cualitativo y abordada según la teoría fundamentada, analiza el papel de los factores protectores y riesgosos relacionados con el desarrollo de la regulación emocional en niñez de 4 y 5 años, que estuvo presente durante el contexto de la educación remota por motivo de la pandemia por COVID-19 en el año 2020. Para esto se realizaron 5 entrevistas virtuales con personal de una institución educativa, con 2 madres de estudiantes que estuvieron en preescolar en el año 2020, y con un grupo focal de 5 madres. Además, se realizó una actividad presencial de aproximadamente 40 minutos con dos grupos de estudiantes, a quienes se les enseñó el cuento “Monstruo de colores” para conversar e identificar emociones. Asimismo, se abrió un espacio para pintar y desarrollar un diálogo con el fin de conocer la perspectiva de la pandemia y el etiquetamiento de emociones que poseían. Se concluyó que, de manera similar a estudios internacionales, esta situación desencadenó cambios en rutinas cotidianas, alimentación, sueño, socialización con pares y cambios en las emociones de la niñez. A su vez, para las familias, supuso asumir un nuevo rol como personas educadoras para el cual no estaban preparadas. Se identificaron factores protectores y riesgosos como la escucha y el diálogo de las emociones, la comunicación entre familia y escuela, el apoyo en el proceso educativo, entre otros.

Resumen Objetivo: Debido al aumento en el consumo de alcohol entre la población juvenil y los potenciales riesgos físicos y mentales que esta situación provoca, este trabajo analiza los factores que condicionan el consumo excesivo de alcohol en adolescentes de 13 a 17 años en Argentina. Materiales y métodos: Se utilizan datos de la Encuesta Mundial de Salud Escolar, aplicada a una muestra representativa de 56,981 adolescentes en todo el país en 2018. Se estiman modelos logísticos que toman en cuenta el rol de factores personales, socioeconómicos, psicológicos y situacionales A la vez, se analiza el impacto que el consumo excesivo de alcohol tiene sobre conductas de riesgo y sobre daños sufridos por adolescentes. Resultados: Se observó un incremento en el consumo de alcohol entre adolescentes, con una mayor incidencia en mujeres. Los factores situacionales, como la disponibilidad de alcohol y la presión de pares, son determinantes clave. Existe una fuerte asociación entre el consumo excesivo de alcohol y las conductas de riesgo, así como un aumento en los daños sufridos por los adolescentes. Conclusiones: Se subraya la necesidad de implementar medidas reguladoras y protectoras específicas. La importancia de estrategias integrales de prevención y educación es destacada, enfocándose en los factores situacionales y sociales. Las intervenciones deben involucrar a familia, escuela y comunidad para reducir los riesgos y promover comportamientos saludables.

Abstract Objectives: Given the increase in alcohol consumption in the youth population and the potential physical and mental risks that this situation causes, this work analyzes the conditioning factors of excessive alcohol consumption in the population between 13 and 17 years of age in Argentina. Materials and Methods: We use data from the World Survey of School Health, applied to a representative sample of 56,981 adolescents throughout the country in 2018. We estimate logistic regressions to identify conditional variables that influence the abusive intake of alcohol. Those factors include personal, socioeconomic, psychological, and situational independent variables. Results: An increase in alcohol consumption among adolescents has been observed, with a higher incidence among females. Situational factors, such as the availability of alcohol and peer pressure, are key determinants. There is a strong association between excessive alcohol consumption and risky behaviors, as well as an increase in the harms experienced by adolescents. Conclusions: The need to implement specific regulatory and protective measures is emphasized. The importance of comprehensive prevention and education strategies is highlighted, focusing on situational and social factors. Interventions should involve family, school, and community to reduce risks and promote healthy behaviors.

Resumen Objetivo: Identificar los factores asociados al tipo de respiración artificial y al fallecimiento de pacientes hospitalizados causada por Sars-Cov2 en un hospital de tercer nivel de Mérida, Yucatán de enero a agosto de 2022. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional retrospectivo. La recolección de datos se realizó en mayo y junio de 2023 en el Hospital Elvia Carrillo Puerto del Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado (ISSSTE) en Mérida, Yucatán. La muestra incluyó 100 expedientes a partir de 133 de pacientes que recibieron algún tipo de respiración artificial VMNI (ventilación mecánica no invasiva) o VMI (ventilación mecánica invasiva) por parte de la unidad de inhaloterapia, diagnosticados con COVID-19 y estuvieron hospitalizados de enero a agosto de 2022. Los datos fueron recabados a través de una cédula y fueron procesados a través de estadística descriptiva, análisis bivariado y multivariado: regresión logística binaria (IC= 95 %). Resultados: De los 100 expedientes incluidos en el estudio: 40 recibieron VMNI y 60 VMI, el 56 % correspondió a personas de sexo hombre, 91 % residente en Yucatán y 85% nacido en esta misma entidad federativa. Diabetes tipo 2 e hipertensión arterial estuvieron asociadas a fallecimiento a la VMI. Del total de expedientes de pacientes incluido en la muestra de estudio: 37 recibieron el alta domiciliaria mientras que 63 fallecieron en el hospital. El número de días con ventilación mecánica, el promedio fue superior en aquellos que fallecieron y significativamente menor en aquellos que recibieron el alta domiciliario. En el análisis de regresión, el sobrepeso y mayor edad fueron variables predictoras de fallecimiento para los pacientes, mientras que haber recibido VMNI resultó un factor protector. Conclusión: El sobrepeso y la edad fueron factores predictores para fallecer por COVID-19 en este estudio, mientras que haber recibido VMNI fue un factor protector; la VMNI resultó un factor protector ante el fallecimiento y asociado a supervivencia hospitalaria.

Abstract Objective: Identify the factors associated with the type of artificial respiration and the death of hospitalized patients caused by Sars-Cov2 in a tertiary hospital in Mérida, Yucatán from January to August 2022. Material and methods: Retrospective observational study. Data collection was carried out in May and June 2023 at the Elvia Carrillo Puerto Hospital of the Institute of Security and Social Services of State Workers (ISSSTE) in Mérida, Yucatán. The sample included 100 records from 133 patients who received some type of artificial respiration NIV (non-invasive mechanical ventilation) or IMV (invasive mechanical ventilation) by the inhalation therapy unit, diagnosed with COVID-19 and were hospitalized from January to August 2022. Data were collected through a card and were processed through descriptive statistics, bivariate and multivariate analysis: binary logistic regression (CI= 95%). Results: Of the 100 files included in the study: 40 received NIV and 60 IMV, 56% corresponded to men, 91% were residents in Yucatán, and 85% were born in this same state. Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure were associated with death due to IMV. Of the total patient records included in the study sample: 37 were discharged home while 63 died in the hospital. The average number of days with mechanical ventilation was higher in those who died and significantly lower in those who were discharged home. In the regression analysis, overweight and older age were predictor variables of death for patients, while having received NIV was a protective factor. Conclusion: Overweight and age were predictive factors for dying from COVID-19 in this study, while the absence of IMV was a protective factor; NIV was a protective factor against death and associated with hospital survival.

Resumen Objetivo: determinar si las variables estilos de enfrentamiento, apoyo social y resiliencia predicen la presencia del trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT) en pacientes adultos de una institución de salud pública. Materiales y métodos: Fue una muestra no probabilística intencional conformada por 100 adultos residentes del Estado de México. El 91% de los participantes son mujeres con una edad entre 18 y 60 años (M = 40, D.E.= 11.51). Se realizó un análisis descriptivo a través de las medidas de tendencia central y de dispersión: posteriormente se realizó la prueba de normalidad de Kolmogorov-Smirnov, lo que indicó la pertinencia de la prueba Rho de Spearman para determinar la correlación entre las variables; y finalmente se utilizó una regresión lineal múltiple con el método por pasos. Resultados: El 53% de los participantes presentan TEPT. El análisis de regresión indica que la varianza total explicada es del 56%, siendo el análisis cognitivo-reflexivo el factor que explica en mayor medida el TEPT seguido del estilo evasivo, la validación y la reevaluación positiva. Conclusiones: Los hallazgos indican que algunos estilos de enfrentamiento fungen como factores protectores ante el TEPT mientras que otros, tienen una función desadaptativa, por lo que es relevante el diseño de estrategias para la prevención e intervención del trastorno.

Abstract Objective: The objective was to determine whether the variables confrontation, social support and resilience predict the presence of post-traumatic stress disorder in adult patients in a public health institution. Materials and methods: An intentional non-probabilistic sample was employed, consisting of 100 adults residents of the State of Mexico. 91% of the participants are women between 18 and 60 years old (M = 40, S.D. = 11.51). A descriptive analysis was carried out, using central tendency and dispersion measures: the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test was subsequently performed, indicating the relevance of the Spearman Rho test to determine the correlation between the variables; finally, a stepwise multiple linear regression was used. Results: 53% of participants have PTSD. The regression analysis indicates that the total variance explained is 56%, being the reflexive cognitive analysis the factor that explains the most PTSD followed by evasive style, validation and positive reevaluation. Conclusions: The findings indicate that some styles of confrontation act as protective factors against PTSD, while others have a maladaptive function, so it is relevant to design strategies for the prevention and intervention of the disorder.

ABSTRACT Introduction/framework/objectives: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a disease that can progress in a debilitating manner and affect some individuals of working age, so it will be important that professionals working in Occupational Health and Safety have a reasonable set of knowledge on the subject, to be able to adjust work tasks as best as possible, as well as any protective measures, enhancing well-being and performance/productivity. Furthermore, knowing the work factors that increase it, it will be possible to slightly reduce the incidence of the pathology. The aim of this review was to summarize in Portuguese the most current and relevant articles published on the topic in international and national literature. Methodology: This is a Bibliographic Review, initiated through a search carried out in April 2023 in the databases “CINALH plus with full text, Medline with full text, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Methodology Register, Nursing and Allied Health Collection: comprehensive, MedicLatina and RCAAP”. Content: This pathology is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by muscular atrophy/paralysis, generally beginning in adulthood with an average survival of two to three years. The first manifestations generally involve asthenia of the lower limbs, generally in the 5th or 6th decade of life. Focal paralysis intensifies and spreads, reaching the respiratory muscles and culminating in respiratory failure. However, the pathophysiology is not clearly understood. Some researchers consider that the only environmental fact that could have any influence could be smoking; others even claim that the influence of global environmental exposure itself is controversial. At this level, with greater or lesser consensus, pesticides, fertilizers, solvents, heavy metals, formaldehyde, diesel, physical exertion/hypoxia, trauma and contact with electricity stand out. Therefore, there are also some professional sectors that may present greater risk. Discussion and Conclusions: Even though the prevalence of this pathology is low, some of these individuals are part of the active population, at least at an initial stage. No concrete data was found regarding protective measures or other relevant attitudes for the Health and Safety team to guide in this context. Even so, the authors succinctly recorded some items in this sense, depending on their professional experience, especially for pathologies with some similarities and more prevalent. It would be interesting for professionals working in a hospital environment, in an institution where there is a support consultation for users with this pathology, to focus a little on the topic, portraying the national reality and publishing their research in a magazine in the area, to disseminate knowledge at national level, with international extrapolation, given the scarcity of bibliography.

RESUMO Introdução/enquadramento/objetivos: A Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica é uma doença que poderá evoluir de forma debilitante e atingir alguns indivíduos em idade ativa, pelo que será relevante que os profissionais a exercer na Saúde e Segurança Ocupacionais tenham um conjunto razoável de conhecimentos sobre o tema, de forma a conseguirem ajustar o melhor possível as tarefas laborais, bem como eventuais medidas de proteção, potenciando o bem-estar e desempenho/produtividade. Para além disso, conhecendo os fatores laborais que a potenciam, poder-se-á diminuir um pouco a incidência da patologia. Pretendeu-se com esta revisão resumir em português o que de mais atual e relevante se publicou sobre o tema nas literaturas internacional e nacional. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma Revisão Bibliográfica, iniciada através de uma pesquisa realizada em abril de 2023 nas bases de dados “CINALH plus with full text, Medline with full text, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Methodology Register, Nursing and Allied Health Collection: comprehensive, MedicLatina e RCAAP”. Conteúdo: Esta patologia é uma doença neurodegenerativa rapidamente progressiva e caraterizada por atrofia/paralisia muscular, geralmente iniciada na idade adulta com sobrevida média de dois a três anos. As primeiras manifestações geralmente incidem na astenia dos membros inferiores, geralmente na 5ª ou 6ª décadas de vida. A paralisia intensifica-se e alastra-se, podendo atingir os músculos respiratórios e culminar em insuficiência respiratória. Contudo, a fisiopatologia não está esclarecida com clareza. Alguns investigadores consideram que o único fator ambiental que poderá ter alguma influência poderá ser o tabagismo; outros até afirmam que a influência da exposição ambiental global em si é controversa. Neste contexto, com maior ou menor consenso, destacam-se os pesticidas, fertilizantes, solventes, metais pesados, formaldeído, diesel, esforço físico/hipoxia, trauma e contato com a eletricidade. Desta forma, existem também alguns setores profissionais que poderão apresentar maior risco. Discussão e Conclusões: Ainda que a prevalência desta doença seja baixa, parte destes indivíduos estão inseridos na população ativa, pelo menos numa fase inicial. Não se encontraram dados concretos relativos a medidas de proteção ou outras atitudes relevantes para a equipa de Saúde e Segurança orientar neste contexto; ainda assim, os autores registaram de forma sucinta alguns itens nesse sentido, em função da sua experiência profissional, sobretudo para patologias com algumas semelhanças e mais prevalentes. Seria aliciante que profissionais a exercer em ambiente hospitalar, em instituição que exista uma consulta de apoio a utentes com esta patologia, se debruçassem um pouco sobre o tema, retratando a realidade nacional e publicando a sua investigação em revista da área, para difusão de conhecimentos a nível nacional, com extrapolação internacional, dada a escassez de bibliografia.

SUMMARY Introduction: The food sector includes a reasonable number of workers involved. Empirically, there is no doubt that this sector has work areas that by their nature involve a series of risk factors that can affect the health. Knowing and cataloguing these, in order to be able to draw up a preventive plan, is essential for the health of the worker (and the entity that employs him). This article aims to gather the main occupational risk factors/occupational risks, occupational diseases and recommended protective measures at kitchen workers. Methodology: This is a Scoping Review, initiated through a search carried out in the Medline database (via Pubmed), carried out during the month of November 2023, encompassing articles (in Portuguese and English), with the keywords "kitchen worker" and "occupational" in the title, with no time limit. The risk analysis tool "Online interactive risk assessment" of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work was used as a complement. Content: The main risk factors found are exposure to chemical agents (products used to clean facilities and/or fruit and vegetables, or by-products from cooking); ergonomic risks (maintained/forced postures; repetitive movements, manual handling of loads); accidents (falls at the same level or at different levels; handling of equipment/utensils that increase the risk of burns, cuts and/or amputations); contact with electrical equipment, noise, heat stress and psychosocial risks. The main occupational diseases refer to musculoskeletal, psychosocial or dermatological conditions. Each unit should, however, be evaluated individually, according to its intrinsic characteristics. Conclusions: The safety and health of kitchen workers are issues that deserve constant attention from employers, regulators and society at large. This article explored some of the main occupational hazards and listed the need for effective preventive measures. Reducing these risks is not only an ethical and legal responsibility, but a smart strategy to improve operational efficiency and quality of services, avoiding accidents, minimizing absenteeism, but also improving the productivity of companies. It would be pertinent to develop investigations that assess the national reality

RESUMO Introdução: O setor da alimentação coletiva inclui um número razoável de trabalhadores envolvidos. Empiricamente, não existem dúvidas de que este setor possui áreas de trabalho que pela sua natureza envolvem uma série de fatores de risco que podem afetar a saúde dos trabalhadores. Conhecer e catalogar os mesmos, de modo a poder elaborar um plano preventivo, é essencial para a saúde do trabalhador (e da entidade que o emprega). Este artigo objetiva reunir os principais fatores de risco/riscos ocupacionais, doenças profissionais associadas e medidas de proteção recomendadas. Metodologia: Trata-se de umaScoping Review, iniciada através de uma pesquisa realizada nas base de dados Medline (via Pubmed), realizada durante o mês de novembro de 2023, englobando artigos (em português e inglês), com as palavras-chave “kitchen worker” e “occupational” no título, sem limite temporal. Utilizou-se como complemento a ferramenta de análise de riscos “Online interactive risk assessment”, da Agência Europeia para a Segurança e Saúde no Trabalho. Conteúdo: Os principais fatores de risco encontrados são exposição a agentes químicos (produtos na higienização das instalações e/ou hortofrutícolas, ou subprodutos derivados da confeção); riscos ergonómicos (posturas mantidas/ forçadas; movimentos repetitivos, manuseamento manual de cargas); riscos de acidentes (quedas ao mesmo nível ou a níveis diferentes; manuseamento de equipamentos/utensílios que aumentem o risco de queimaduras, cortes e/ou amputações); contato com equipamentos elétricos, ruído, stress térmico e riscos psicossociais. As principais doenças profissionais referem-se a condições musculoesqueléticas, psicossociais ou dermatológicas. Cada unidade deverá, no entanto, ser avaliada individualmente, mediante as suas caraterísticas intrínsecas. Conclusões: A segurança e saúde dos trabalhadores das unidades de alimentação coletiva são questões que merecem atenção constante dos Empregadores, reguladores e da sociedade em geral. Este artigo explorou alguns dos principais riscos ocupacionais e listou a necessidade de medidas preventivas eficazes. A redução destes riscos não é apenas uma responsabilidade ética e legal, mas uma estratégia inteligente para melhorar a eficiência operacional e a qualidade dos serviços, evitando acidentes, minimizando o absentismo, mas também melhorando a produtividade das empresas. Seria pertinente desenvolver investigações que avaliassem a realidade nacional.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Every year more than 2.3 million cases of breast cancer are registered, making it the most common type of cancer among adults. The association between breast cancer and occupational factors is an issue that has been studied in the literature since the beginning of the 18th century. Technological developments have allowed a more in-depth study of the relationship between breast cancer and occupational factors such as exposure to chemicals, pesticides, metals and also sources of exposure to ionising and non-ionising radiation.The aim of the present literature review is to complete an update on the scientific knowledge about the relationship between occupational exposure to ionising radiation in healthcare workers and the development of breast cancer. Methodology: A research was carried using Medline with the PubMed search engine and Elsevier with the Science Direct search engine. The search words used were a combination of breast cancer, occupational exposure, ionizing radiation and healthcare workers. A research was also carried out in Revista Portuguesa de Saúde Ocupacional, using the terms “Breast Cancer” and “Ionizing Radiation”. Discussion/Conclusions: Current literature is not unanimous about the specific clinical and pathological features of breast cancer possibly linked to occupational settings. Healthcare professionals such as radiology technicians, nurses, orthopaedic surgeons and interventional cardiologists are especially vulnerable to this type of exposure, particularly to ionising radiation. However, some studies have pointed to a difficulty in establishing a causal relationship between these factors due to the number of variables involved, such as the duration and intensity of exposure and the influence of other risk factors. Changes in equipment, procedures and protective measures have resulted in lower doses in recent years, which means that the risk of breast cancer is low at current levels of occupational exposure to ionizing radiation.

RESUMO Introdução: Todos os anos são registados mais de 2,3 milhões de casos de cancro da mama, o que o torna o tipo cancro mais comum entre os adultos. A associação entre o cancro da mama e fatores ocupacionais é uma questão que tem vindo a ser estudada na literatura desde o início do século XVIII. Os desenvolvimentos tecnológicos permitiram um estudo mais aprofundado sobre a relação entre o cancro da mama e os fatores profissionais como a exposição a produtos químicos, pesticidas, metais e também fontes de exposição a radiação ionizante e não ionizante. O objetivo da presente revisão de literatura é incidir na relação entre a exposição ocupacional a radiação ionizante em trabalhadores da saúde e o desenvolvimento de cancro da mama. Metodologia: Foi efetuada uma pesquisa na Medline, com o motor de busca PubMed e na Elsevier, com o motor de busca Science Direct. As palavras de pesquisa usadas foram uma combinação dos termos breast cancer, occupational exposure, ionizing radiation e healthcare workers. Foi também realizada pesquisa na Revista Portuguesa de Saúde Ocupacional utilizando os termos “Cancro de mama” e “Radiação Ionizante”. Discussão/Conclusão: A literatura atual não é unânime quanto às características clínicas e patológicas específicas do cancro da mama possivelmente ligadas a contextos profissionais. Os profissionais de saúde, tais como técnicos de radiologia, enfermeiros, cirurgiões ortopédicos e cardiologistas de intervenção são especialmente vulneráveis a este tipo de exposição, nomeadamente à radiação ionizante. No entanto, alguns estudos apontaram para uma dificuldade em estabelecer uma relação causal entre estes fatores e o desenvolvimento de doença devido ao número de variáveis envolvidas, tais como a duração e intensidade da exposição e à influência de outros fatores de risco. As mudanças no equipamento, procedimentos e medidas de proteção resultaram em doses mais baixas nos anos mais recentes, o que significa que o risco de cancro da mama é baixo nos níveis atuais de exposição profissional à radiação ionizante.

ABSTRACT Introduction Work can be a protective or risk factor for mental health, depending on individual and organizational strategies. In addition to studies pointing to health professionals as a group at greater risk in this area, in Occupational Medicine medical examinations we found a higher frequency of psychiatric pathology. Objectives The main objective of the article is to identify occupational psychosocial risk factors in Centro Hospitalar Universitário Lisboa Central and relate them to work dimensions, hospital hub, professional experience, professional category and hospital services. Methodology With an exclusive psychologist in the Occupational Health Service of Centro Hospitalar Universitário Lisboa Central, the “Evaluate, Reflect and Act Project” was developed in partnership with the Order of Psychologists over four phases, distributing the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire questionnaire to its professionals. The chosen methodology involved raising awareness among workers and their managers about the topic of FRPS, evaluating and recommending preventive and corrective strategies in this area. Results The results demonstrate that the dimensions of severity are more relevant in relation to work rhythms and cognitive and emotional demands, presenting self-efficacy, the meaning of work and role transparency as protective factors. Discussion/Conclusion This work aims to raise awareness of the need for multidisciplinary assessment and intervention from a biopsychosocial perspective, considering the increase in consequences for the mental health of health professionals and encourage to implement individual and organizational strategies to promote healthier work environments.

RESUMO Introdução O trabalho pode ser um fator protetor ou de risco para a saúde mental, dependendo de estratégias individuais e organizacionais. Para além dos estudos apontarem os profissionais de saúde como um grupo de maior risco neste âmbito, nos exames de Medicina do Trabalho destes profissionais verifica-se maior frequência de patologia psiquiátrica. Objetivos O principal objetivo do artigo é identificar os fatores de risco psicossociais ocupacionais presentes no Centro Hospitalar Universitário Lisboa Central e relacioná-los com dimensões laborais, polo hospitalar, experiência profissional, categoria profissional e serviços hospitalares. Metodologia Existindo uma psicóloga exclusiva no Serviço de Saúde Ocupacional do Centro Hospitalar Universitário Lisboa Central, desenvolveu-se em parceria com a Ordem dos Psicólogos o “Projeto Avaliar, Refletir e Agir” ao longo de quatro fases, distribuindo o questionário Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire aos seus profissionais. A metodologia escolhida passou por sensibilizar os trabalhadores e respetivas chefias para a temática dos FRPS, avaliar e recomendar estratégias preventivas e corretivas neste âmbito. Resultados Os resultados demonstram como mais relevantes as dimensões da severidade face aos ritmos de trabalho e as exigências cognitivas e emocionais, apresentando-se como fatores protetores a autoeficácia, o significado do trabalho e a transparência do papel. Discussão/Conclusão Com este trabalho pretende-se alertar para a necessidade de avaliação e intervenção multidisciplinar numa vertente biopsicossocial, tendo em conta o aumento de consequências na saúde mental dos profissionais de saúde; bem como fomentar a implementação de estratégias individuais e organizacionais de modo a promover ambientes de trabalho mais saudáveis.
