A través de la metodología pedagógica de educación entre pares, el grupo de investigación observó que jóvenes adolescentes estudiantes de las comunas 6 y 18 de la ciudad de Cali se relacionan entre sí con actitudes, comportamientos y expresiones verbales propias de una cultura violenta, asimétrica y machista. El análisis de esta problemática planteó la necesidad de realizar un estudio cualitativo, de tipo descriptivo-interpretativo, que indagara sobre las raíces de estos tipos de violencia basada en género, tanto en parejas como en familias, en dos instituciones educativas de estas comunas. Así, se definieron dos objetivos de investigación: explorar, a través de la educación entre pares, la manera como se afrontan los conflictos en las relaciones afectivas e indagar y analizar el manejo que se da a los problemas familiares. Los resultados reafirman que hay una naturalización del uso de un lenguaje violento, así como acciones propias de una cultura asimétrica y patriarcal que se consolidan y afianzan en el imaginario de los jóvenes adolescentes.
Intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalization involves critically ill patients with multiple diseases and possible complications, including malnutrition, which increases hospital stay and mortality. Therefore, identifying the patient’s prior nutritional state, following up during hospitalization, and implementing early intervention positively affect patient’s vital situations at discharge. The objective of this study is to determine the nutritional state of patients admitted to an ICU in Cali (Colombia) in 2019 and its association with immunological and biochemical parameters and mortality observed during hospitalization. This was an observational, analytical, and retrospective study of patients admitted to an ICU in a clinic in Cali (Colombia) from 1 January to 31 March 2019. The association between their nutritional state and outcome variables such as hospital stay, immunological and biochemical function, and mortality was analyzed. Logistic regression was used to predict patients’ vital status at hospital discharge. In terms of the nutritional level, low weight was observed in 17.5% patients, and overweight/obesity was observed in 53.5% of the population. Nutritional state was associated with leukocytosis. The patients with lymphocytosis had longer hospital stays than those with normal lymphocyte ranges. Age, blood leukocytes, and creatinine and potassium levels increased the risk of mortality. Lymphocyte values have been used as predictors of severity and hospitalization time. The scientific literature has also evidenced a higher leukocyte count in people with obesity, and such leukocytosis is associated with the risk of mortality. The results of blood and laboratory tests determining kidney function and blood electrolytes allow for the prediction of mortality risk in critically ill patients.
Al recibir las páginas de este libro me detuve en cada uno de sus capítulos y en cada uno de los aportes que desde la realidad y la cotidianidad de la mujer presenta frente a igualdades y diferencias desde la enfermería cardiovascular, desde la salud materna, la discapacidad visual, la historia sexual y reproductiva y las representaciones sociales en la violencia basada en el género.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
