Las mujeres, su madurez y el climaterio. Propuesta formativa a estudiantes de enfermería.

Determinar los principales aspectos en los que la educación para la salud aumenta la calidad de vida de las mujeres en su climaterio. Mujeres de 45 a 65 años. Muestra de 555 mujeres de la ciudad de Murcia y pedanías. NC 95 por ciento y EM entre 2,5 y 2 por ciento. Marco teórico y conceptual, conocimiento de la realidad a través del estudio de salud de mujeres de 45 a 65 años y propuesta de intervención educativa. Se recoge información sobre salud a través de un cuestionario elaborado a partir de un pilotaje cuantitativo a un grupo de 30 mujeres en el que se realiza un análisis descriptivo y otro factorial para localizar los factores o componentes principales. Se administra el cuestionario y se analizan los resultados, en función de los cuales le elabora la propuesta didáctica sobre educación para la salud. Cuestionario sobre estilos de vida, aspectos psicosociales de pareja e información sobre el climaterio dirigido a mujeres entre los 45 y los 65 años de elaboración propia. Análisis descriptivo (estadístico) y asociativo entre variables, midiendo la contingencia con el test Ji cuadrado de Pearson que se completa con el análisis de residuos con la finalidad de establecer el sentido de la dependencia o asociaciones. Se utiliza el paquete SPSS. Escaso conocimiento acerca del climaterio tanto en lo relacionado con síntomas, dieta, ejercicio como riesgos para la salud y consecuencias en las relaciones psicosociales y de pareja. Unidad didáctica para el área de Enfermería Materno Infantil I (troncal) y para la Salud Integral de la Mujer (optativa y complementaria de la anterior) El título de la Unidad Didáctica es 'El climaterio: cambios físicos, psíquicos y sociales' Estilos de vida, riesgos de salud asociados, promoción para el autocuidado, conducta a seguir por los profesionales de enfermería, medidas farmacológicas. Los programas de atención a la mujer se desarrollan en atención primaria y se diferencian en dos áreas: atención ligada a la reproducción: embarazo y planificación y la atención dirigida a la prevención del cáncer ginecológico y el programa de atención a la mujer en el climaterio que es el propuesto en esta investigación.

Neurobehavioral Development in Children With Potential Exposure to Pesticides

Children may be at higher risk than adults from pesticide exposure, due to their rapidly developing physiology, unique behavioral patterns, and interactions with the physical environment. This preliminary study conducted in Ecuador examines the association between household and environmental risk factors for pesticide exposure and neurobehavioral development. We collected data over 6 months in the rural highland region of Cayambe, Ecuador (2003–2004). Children age 24–61 months residing in 3 communities were assessed with the Ages and Stages Questionnaire and the Visual Motor Integration Test. We gathered information on maternal health and work characteristics, the home and community environment, and child characteristics. Growth measurements and a hemoglobin finger-prick blood test were obtained. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted. Current maternal employment in the flower industry was associated with better developmental scores. Longer hours playing outdoors were associated with lower gross and fine motor and problem solving skills. Children who played with irrigation water scored lower on fine motor skills (8% decrease; 95% confidence interval 9.31 to 0.53), problem-solving skills (7% decrease; 8.40 to 0.39), and Visual Motor Integration test scores (3% decrease; 12.00 to 1.08). These results suggest that certain environmental risk factors for exposure to pesticides may affect child development, with contact with irrigation water of particular concern. However, the relationships between these risk factors and social characteristics are complex, as corporate agriculture may increase risk through pesticide exposure and environmental contamination, while indirectly promoting healthy development by providing health care, relatively higher salaries, and daycare options.

Sociodemographic and nutritional correlates of neurobehavioral development: a study of young children in a rural region of Ecuador

To identify and describe the sociodemographic and nutritional characteristics associated with neurobehavioral development among young children living in three communities in the northeastern Andean region of Cayambe-Tabacundo, Ecuador. Women in the study communities who had a child 3 to 61 months of age completed a questionnaire about maternal and child health and sociodemographic characteristics. The Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) was directly administered to 283 children by two trained interviewers. Growth measurements and a hemoglobin finger-prick blood test were obtained in 2003–2004. Prevalence of developmental delay was calculated, and associations between child development and maternal, child, and household characteristics were explored. High frequencies of developmental delay were observed. Children 3 to 23 months old displayed delay in gross motor skills (30.1%), and children 48 to 61 months old displayed delay in problem-solving skills (73.4%) and fine motor skills (28.1%). A high frequency of both anemia (60.4%) and stunting (53.4%) was observed for all age groups. Maternal educational level was positively associated with communication and problem-solving skills, and monthly household income was positively associated with communication, gross motor, and problem-solving skills. The results suggest a high prevalence of developmental delay and poor child health in this population. Child health status and the child’s environment may contribute to developmental delay in this region of Ecuador, but sociodemographic factors affecting opportunities for stimulation may also play a role. Research is needed to identify what is causing high percentages of neurobehavioral developmental delay in this region of Ecuador.

Avaliação da suplementação materna com megadose de vitamina a sobre os níveis de retinol e alfa-tocoferol no colostro

The vitamins A and E are recognizably important in the initial stages of life and the newborn depends on nutritional adequacy of breast milk to meet their needs. These vitamins share routes of transport to the tissues and antagonistic effects have been observed in animals after supplementation with vitamin A. This study aimed to verify the effect of maternal supplementation with vitamin A megadose (200,000 UI) in the immediate post-partum on the concentration of alpha-tocopherol in colostrum. Healthy parturient women attended at a public maternity natalensis were recruited for the study and divided into two groups: control (n = 37) and supplemented (n = 36). Blood samples of colostrum and milk were collected until 12 hours after delivery. The women of the supplemented group was administered a retynil palmitate capsule and 24 hours after the first collection was obtained the 2nd sample of colostrum in two groups for analysis of retinol and alpha-tocopherol in milk. The mean retinol concentration of 50,7 ± 14,4 μg/dL (Mean ± standard deviation) and alpha-tocopherol of 1217.4 ± 959 mg/dL in the serum indicate the nutritional status biochemical appropriate. Supplementation with retynil palmitate resulted in increase not only retinol levels in the colostrum of the supplemented group (p = 0.002), but also the concentration of alpha-tocopherol (p = 0.04), changing from 1456.6 ± 1095.8 mg/dL to 1804.3 ± 1432.0 mg/dL (milk 0 and 24 respectively) compared to values in the control group, 984.6 ± 750.0 mg/dL and 1175.0 ± 730.8 mg/dL. The women had different responses to supplementation, influenced by baseline levels of retinol in colostrum. Those with previous by low levels of retinol in colostrum (<60 mg/dL) had increased the concentration of alpha-tocopherol in milk, whereas those with adequate levels (> 60 mg/dL), showed a reduction after supplementation. Supplementation with retinol palmitate is an important intervention in situations of high risk for vitamin A deficiency, when considering the need to maternal supplementation, since the excess vitamin can offer unfavorable interactions between nutrients essential for the mother-child group
