Introducción: Factores de riesgo como alergias, historia familiar, infecciones respiratorias, bajo peso al nacer, exposición a humo de tabaco y síntomas frecuentes tales como: sibilancias, disnea o tos persistente, se presentan en niños con asma. En Cali son escasos los estudios que aborden esta temática. Objetivo: Describir factores de riesgo y síntomas en estudiantes con diagnóstico de asma en dos colegios de la ciudad de Cali. Materiales y métodos: Estudio transversal. Se recolectó información a cuidadores de niños(as) en edades entre 6 y 14 años, a través del cuestionario del estudio Internacional de Asma y Alergias en la Infancia (ISAAC). Resultados: De 324 encuestas resueltas por cuidadores, 77 niños presentaban asma. Para esta población el 60% de los niños eran mayores de 9 años de edad, 56% eran niñas; 68% pertenecían al estrato socioeconómico medio-bajo. Se encontró antecedentes de enfermedades como bronquiolitis en el niño, asma y rinitis en los padres, factores de riesgo como piso inadecuado en el hogar, ausencia de lactancia materna y asistencia al jardín. El 40,3% presentaron disnea, tos y sibilancias. Conclusiones: Factores de riesgo como el sexo, piso inadecuado y síntomas como disnea, tos y sibilancias fueron los más frecuentes en niños con asma.

“…1,2 These infections are associated with significant health and economic costs, with risks including parent and staff work absenteeism, secondary infections, and secondary transmission to other children. 3,4 Basic infection control practices such as hand hygiene and environmental cleaning are effective in reducing spread of these infections. 5,6 Evidence outlining compliance with these measures in the Australian childcare setting is lacking, 7 however international data suggests compliance is often low.…”

Issue AddressedChildcare educator knowledge gaps in infection control practices and outbreak management. This can contribute to the well‐reported issue of transmission of infectious diseases in childcare centres and the associated health and economic costs.MethodsA health promotion program in the form of an educational slideshow presentation with interactive question/answer component was developed and offered to all childcare centre staff in the Wide Bay region, Queensland.ResultsChildcare educators who participated in the education sessions reported a significant increase in their knowledge and confidence in outbreak management on pre‐ and post‐intervention self‐assessment.ConclusionsSimple educational programs can significantly improve the self‐assessed knowledge and confidence of childcare educators in managing infectious diseases.So What?Improving knowledge and confidence of childcare centre staff in managing basic infectious diseases can help reduce the health and economic impacts of these infections. Simple educational health promotion programs could be introduced as part of an orientation program for new staff, or refreshers for existing staff.
