Las actividades de un cuidador informal son sumamente demandantes, estresantes y generalmente asociadas a una sobrecarga emocional, con efectos lesivos en la salud, sobre todo cuando se considera que el llamado síndrome de burnout se manifiesta cuando las personas no pueden afrontar de manera adaptativa las situaciones que les generan estrés y se sienten impedidas para modificar la situación problemática. Toda vez que generalmente es una mujer la que ejerce esta actividad, y que los cambios hormogonadales afectan el estado de ánimo, resulta importante determinar si la fase del ciclo reproductivo en la que se encuentran tiene algún impacto determinante que las predisponga a desarrollar el referido síndrome, y así dilucidar si existe un efecto protector de tipo hormonal que contribuya a que las mujeres cuidadoras informales puedan hacer frente a las exigencias que supone su labor. Se evaluaron el síndrome de burnout, ansiedad y depresión en 37 cuidadoras informales de pacientes con cáncer, divididas en dos grupos: cuidadoras con ciclo reproductivo presente versus cuidadoras en posmenopausia, encontrándose correlaciones positivas moderadas entre dichas variables, sin haber una relación causa-efecto. No se encontró síndrome de burnout, ansiedad ni depresión en el grupo de cuidadoras en posmenopausia, quienes además reportaron recibir un mayor apoyo familiar. Se concluye que la ausencia de fluctuaciones plasmáticas de las hormonas gonadales (posmenopausia) y la percepción de apoyo emocional por parte de las cuidadoras participantes parece tener un efecto protector ante el referido síndrome.
Objective: To estimate the composition and winter abundance of waterfowl for hunting in a Wildlife Conservation Management Unit (UMA), within the Malaga wetlands complex, Durango, Mexico. Design/Methodology/Approach: In the winter of 2019, waterfowl for hunting were identified and quantified in an UMA of the Malaga wetlands complex, Durango, Mexico. The birds were counted with the point count methodology in five repetitions, in order to estimate their specific richness and abundance in each one. These variables were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test (p < 0.05). Results: A total of 21,620 birds from 18 species were registered. The most frequent families were the Anatidae, Rallidae, and Gruidae. Anser albifrons, A. caerulescens, and Anas crecca were the most abundant species. This abundance increased according to the number of tests. Therefore, the highest proportion of birds was recorded in the last sampling (p < 0.05). Study Limitations/Implications: This study provides baseline demographic information for this group of birds that inhabits the Durango wetlands. However, long-term monitoring is necessary to determine the demographic dynamics of these species. Findings/Conclusions: The study site is diverse and important for the waterfowl for hunting that spend the winter in Durango, Mexico
