ObjectiveTo determine the prevalence of workplace violence among Peruvian medical residents and to evaluate the association between medical specialty and workplace violence per type of aggressor.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional secondary analysis that used data from the Peruvian Medical Residents National Survey 2016 (ENMERE-2016). The outcome of interest was workplace violence, including physical and verbal violence, which were categorized according to the perpetrator of violence (patients/relatives and worker-to-worker). Primary exposure was the medical specialty, categorized as clinical, surgical, and other specialties. To evaluate the associations of interest, we estimated adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) with their respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) using Poisson regression models with robust variances.ResultsA total of 1054 Peruvian medical residents were evaluated. The mean age was 32.6 years and 42.3% were female. Overall 73.4% reported having suffered of workplace violence sometime during the residency, 34.4% reported violence from patients/relatives, and 61.1% reported worker-to-worker violence. Compared with clinical residents, surgical residents had a lower prevalence of violence from patients/relatives (PR: 0.71; 95% CI: 0.59–0.87), but a higher prevalence of worker-to-worker violence (PR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.01–1.23).ConclusionNearly three quarters of medical residents reported having suffered workplace violence sometime during their residency. Compared with clinical residents, surgical residents had lower rates of violence from patients/relatives, but higher rates of worker-to-worker violence; while residents from non-clinical and non-surgical specialties had a lower prevalence of both types of violence.
Aim. To determine the prevalence and the factors associated with the publication of scientifi c articles in medical residents of Peru. Subjects and methods. Cross-sectional analytical study using the data obtained by the National Survey for Resident Physicians 2016 (ENMERE-2016), carried out virtually during June 2016. Population: physicians who live in a university in Peru. Sample: residents who voluntarily participated in ENMERE-2016. Outcome of interest: have published at least one scientifi c article. Sociodemographic variables were collected, from the university, from the headquarters, from the residence, from the resident's perception, and from depressive symptoms. To evaluate the factors associated with having published a scientifi c article, crude and adjusted prevalence ratios were calculated with their 95% confi dence intervals. Results. Data from 1062 residents (42.2% female) were analyzed, of which 118 (11.1%) published some scientifi c paper during the resident. In the adjusted analysis, to study the superior years of residency, to have performed some external rotation outside the country and to have a higher score in the overall opinion of the training process were variables directly associated with having published some scientifi c article. While the female sex, being over 35 years old and presenting with depressive symptoms were variables inversely associated with this outcome. Conclusion. Approximately one in ten residents published a scientifi c article during the residency. This was less prevalent in women, in older residents, in those who were in lower years of residence, in those who did not perform any rotation outside the country, in those who had a worse opinion of the training process, and in those with depressive symptoms.
Introducción. El presente artículo resume la guía de práctica clínica (GPC) para el diagnóstico y tratamiento de lumbalgia aguda y subaguda en el Seguro Social del Perú (EsSalud). Objetivo. Proveer recomendaciones clínicas basadas en evidencia para el diagnóstico y tratamiento de lumbalgia aguda y subaguda en EsSalud. Métodos. Se conformó un grupo elaborador local (GEG-Local) que incluyó médicos especialistas y metodólogos. El GEG-Local formuló 11 preguntas clínicas a ser respondidas por la presente GPC. Se realizaron búsquedas sistemáticas de revisiones sistemáticas y –cuando fue considerado pertinente–estudios primarios en Pubmed, Embase y la biblioteca Cochrane durante el 2016. Se seleccionó la evidencia para responder cada una de las preguntas clínicas planteadas. La calidad de la evidencia fue evaluada usando la metodología Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE). En reuniones de trabajo periódicas, el GEG-Local usó la metodología GRADE para revisar la evidencia y formular las recomendaciones y los flujogramas de diagnóstico y tratamiento. Finalmente, la GPC fue aprobada con Resolución N° 43- IETSI-ESSALUD-2016. Resultados. La presente GPC abordó 11 preguntas clínicas, divididas en tres temas: diagnóstico (tres preguntas), tratamiento no farmacológico (cuatro preguntas) y tratamiento farmacológico de lumbalgia (cuatro preguntas). En base a dichas preguntas se formularon 12 recomendaciones (2 recomendaciones fuertes, y 10 recomendaciones condicionales) y 2 flujogramas. Conclusión. El presente artículo resume la metodología y las conclusiones basadas en evidencias de la GPC para el diagnóstico y tratamiento de lumbalgia en EsSalud.
Introducción: El presente artículo resume la guía de práctica clínica (GPC) para el diagnóstico y manejo de los pacientes con colelitiasis, colecistitis aguda y coledocolitiasis en el Seguro Social del Perú (EsSalud). Objetivo: Proveer recomendaciones clínicas basadas en evidencia para la evaluación y el manejo de pacientes con colelitiasis, colecistitis aguda y coledocolitiasis en EsSalud. Métodos: Se conformó un grupo elaborador de la guía (GEG) que incluyó médicos especialistas en gastroenterología, cirujanos generales y metodólogos. El GEG formuló 10 preguntas clínicas a ser respondidas por la presente GPC. En septiembre del 2017 se realizaron búsquedas de revisiones sistemáticas y –cuando fue considerado pertinente– estudios primarios en PubMed. Se seleccionó la evidencia para responder 10 preguntas clínicas. La certeza de la evidencia fue evaluada usando la metodología Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE). En reuniones de trabajo periódicas, el GEG usó la metodología GRADE para revisar la evidencia y formular las recomendaciones, los puntos de buenas prácticas clínicas y el flujograma de evaluación y manejo. Finalmente, la GPC fue aprobada con Resolución N° 021-IETSI- ESSALUD-2018. Resultados: La presente GPC abordó 10 preguntas clínicas sobre el diagnóstico y manejo de colelitiasis, colecistitis aguda y coledocolitiasis. En base a dichas preguntas se formularon 6 recomendaciones (5 recomendaciones condicionales y 1 recomendación fuerte), 17 puntos de buena práctica clínica y 3 flujogramas. Conclusión: El presente artículo resume la metodología y las conclusiones de la l diagnóstico y tratamiento de la colelitiasis, colecistitis aguda y coledocolitiasis de EsSalud.
