Aproximación al proceso de la relación de la enfermería con la medicina, dentro de las instituciones socio-sanitarias de Euskadi. ¿Es una cuestión de género en el avance disciplinar?

Esta Investigación cualitativa desde una mirada cercana al holismo-humanismo y Feminismo mantiene una pretensión de Investigación y de Formación. Consiste en, una “aproximación a la realidad del proceso de la relación de la Enfermería con la Medicina, en las instituciones socio-sanitarias de Euskadi”, con el interrogante: ¿Es una cuestión de género en el avance disciplinar? Interesante, observar en la Enfermería asistencial la causa de las diferencias existentes en las relaciones entre dos profesiones interrelacionadas. La Enfermería y la Medicina han mantenido y mantienen diferentes tipos de relación personal y profesional basadas según el reconocimiento de los derechos de las mujeres dependiendo del contexto histórico de cada época y, esto, era de interés para determinar si es una cuestión de género para el avance de la Enfermería También, identifico la importancia del cuestionamiento y la reflexión con respecto a la existencia de ideas sexistas dentro de la propia profesión de la Enfermería y, no únicamente, dentro de la red socio-sanitaria que hace que el “cuidado” continúe considerándose una intervención vocacional femenina carente de profesionalidad. Un cuestionamiento que reto para poder contribuir a la reconstrucción y transformación social.

Social, economic, and health impact of the respiratory syncytial virus: a systematic search

Background: Bronchiolitis caused by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and its related complications are common in infants born prematurely, with severe congenital heart disease, or bronchopulmonary dysplasia, as well as in immunosuppressed infants. There is a rich literature on the different aspects of RSV infection with a focus, for the most part, on specific risk populations. However, there is a need for a systematic global analysis of the impact of RSV infection in terms of use of resources and health impact on both children and adults. With this aim, we performed a systematic search of scientific evidence on the social, economic, and health impact of RSV infection. Methods: A systematic search of the following databases was performed: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Spanish Medical Index, MEDES-MEDicina in Spanish, Cochrane Plus Library, and Google without time limits. We selected 421 abstracts based on the 6,598 articles identified. From these abstracts, 4 RSV experts selected the most relevant articles. They selected 65 articles. After reading the full articles, 23 of their references were also selected. Finally, one more article found through a literature information alert system was included. Results: The information collected was summarized and organized into the following topics: 1. Impact on health (infections and respiratory complications, mid-to long-term lung function decline, recurrent wheezing, asthma, other complications such as otitis and rhino-conjunctivitis, and mortality; 2. Impact on resources (visits to primary care and specialists offices, emergency room visits, hospital admissions, ICU admissions, diagnostic tests, and treatments); 3. Impact on costs (direct and indirect costs); 4. Impact on quality of life; and 5. Strategies to reduce the impact (interventions on social and hygienic factors and prophylactic treatments). Conclusions: We concluded that 1. The health impact of RSV infection is relevant and goes beyond the acute episode phase; 2. The health impact of RSV infection on children is much better documented than the impact on adults; 3. Further research is needed on mid-and long-term impact of RSV infection on the adult population, especially those at high-risk; 4. There is a need for interventions aimed at reducing the impact of RSV infection by targeting health education, information, and prophylaxis in high-risk populations.
