Dinámicas de externalización entre las ONG locales y las ONG extranjeras (terceros actores) presentes en Egipto: 2004-2009 (TERCEROS ACTORES) PRESENTES EN EGIPTO: 2004-2009

El propósito de la presente monografía es evaluar el papel de las ONG internacionales en la apertura de espacios de participación política para la sociedad civil en Egipto. En ese sentido, se analiza el contexto de oportunidades políticas locales y transnacionales del país, así como los procesos de articulación entre la política local e internacional a través de los niveles de integración entre sus actores. Mediante una investigación de tipo cualitativa basada en los desarrollos sobre teorías de la acción colectiva planteados por Sidney Tarrow, Charles Tilly, Robert Benford y David Snow, y las teorías sobre redes transnacionales de defensa desarrolladas por Margaret Keck y Kathryn Sikkink, se avanza hacia la identificación del desarrollo de procesos de externalización como medio para el fortalecimiento de organizaciones locales como alternativa de oposición política.

To this end a descriptive exploratory multicenter, multistageepidemiological study was carried out in mental health institutions of the Order of San Juan deDios Hospital (OHSJD) with hospitalized relapsing patients with a diagnosis of severe mentaldisorder. This study comes from a working network of Psychology professionals in the OHSJDnationwide. Materials and methods: The population sample was of 1005 patients diagnosed withsevere mental disorders, who had presented relapse during the last year. First, the characterizationof the general population was conducted; then, it was narrowed down to the centers, taking intoaccount similarities and differences found according to the clinical and demographic variables.Results: Major risk factors for relapse found in patients diagnosed with severe mental disorderswere: having between 38 and 58 years of age, being female, single, graduates, unemployed, witha prevalence of bipolar affective disorder diagnosis, number of hospitalizations between 2 and10, number of drugs at the time of leaving hospital 2 to 6, with severe difficulties relating withothers and difficulties in adherence to treatment. The need for a caregiver was also found, as wellas a limited number of received psychological interventions. How the system of beliefs affects thedisease and the poor adherence to treatment was identified. Conclusions: These results indicatethe requirement of a design of team intervention strategies, ranging from the assessment team(home), definition of therapeutic action plans (for) and the posthospitalizacion (egress) following.There is a poor support network and limited adherence to comprehensive treatment.

Description and analysis of pulmonary rehabilitation care programs current state in four cities of Colombia

Purpose: there are many studies reporting the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation, but few of them exhibit the behavior and activities of these services. This article presents the characteristics of services, parts management and training level of team members, in addition to the variables or instruments used to measure the effectiveness and impact in these programs. Method: it was made a cross sectional convenience sample which included seven pulmonary rehabilitation services in four Colombian cities (Bogotá, Medellín, Manizales and Cali), selected by the coverage, for having at least one year of experience and for being formally established and recognized nationwide. The interdisciplinary team of each service answered a survey that was validated through a pilot test and expert consensus. Participation was voluntary. Results: labor onset pulmonary rehabilitation services correspond to an average of a decade, with COPD and asthma pathologies of attention. The programs are characterized by an outpatient treatment with an average duration of eight to twelve weeks, with a frequency of an hour three times a week. Also, the director of the service is regularly a pulmonologist and the coordinator a physiotherapist (57.14%). The posgradual training of these professionals is notable, and they report to have procedural, administrative and communicative skills, but qualify regular there research skills. The physical and technological resources are well tested. 71.42% have done impact studies, but only 28.57% have been published. All have in common training in upper limbs, lower limbs, respiratory muscles, counseling, functional assessment and quality of life. The effectiveness and impact of programs is measured by the walking test, quality of life questionnaires and activities of daily living.

Caracterización del perfil nutricional de pacientes pediátricos hospitalizados en la Clínica Infantil Colsubsidio

Introducción: La desnutrición intrahospitalaria es variable en los estudios publicados. Tiene impacto en el curso tórpido de la enfermedad, en la prolongación de la estancia hospitalaria y en los altos costos subsecuentes. No existen estudios realizados en Colombia en relación al estado nutricional del paciente pediátrico hospitalizado. Por este motivo se decidió caracterizar el perfil nutricional de pacientes pediátricos hospitalizados en la Clínica Infantil Colsubsidio Materiales y métodos: Se desarrolló un estudio transversal en pacientes pediátricos hospitalizados en un periodo entre Junio 2014 – Marzo 2015. Se realizó descripción de las variables y análisis univariado. Resultados: Se analizaron 320 pacientes: 50% niños y 50% niñas. Edad promedio: 4.6 años, predominio del grupo de los lactantes. Media de estancia hospitalaria: 4,6 días. Baja ingesta, ayuno, dolor de moderada intensidad y factor de estrés grado I fueron las variables más frecuentemente relacionadas con desnutrición. Al ingreso a hospitalización el 57.5 % se encontraron eutróficos, el 17.19% con desnutrición crónica, el 8.44% con desnutrición aguda y el 16.88% con aumento anormal de peso. Al egreso, los eutróficos disminuyeron a 56.25 %, la desnutrición crónica y el aumento anormal de peso se mantuvieron igual y la desnutrición aguda aumento al 10%. Conclusión: Los hallazgos de este estudio están en concordancia con los hallazgos descritos en la literatura. El mayor compromiso nutricional se asoció a patologías respiratorias y gastrointestinales y a mayor estancia hospitalaria.
