Intervención prehospitalaria en clave de género: percepciones y factores psicosociales en el abordaje de paradas cardiorrespiratorias

2025-06-13T12:34:08+00:00

Dado el incremento en la incidencia de patologías cardiovasculares y el surgimiento de nuevas necesidades comunitarias en atención prehospitalaria, es relevante considerar el Género como categoría; dado que la brecha entre mujeres y hombres en la ejecución equitativa de Paradas Cardiorrespiratorias no se ha estudiado con suficiencia. Parte de las necesidades comunitarias responden a la capacitación por parte de profesionales en emergencias para la ejecución exitosa de una reanimación cardiopulmonar, por lo que se planteó como objetivo determinar los factores psicosociales percibidos por el personal lego (no profesional) de la Corporación Aeroportuaria de Cuenca, que condicionan la atención de una parada cardiorrespiratoria desde un enfoque de género; a fin de identificar cambios en la intervención de los primeros respondientes en los casos de mujeres y hombres. Considerando un enfoque mixto por combinación, es un estudio cuasiexperimental de profundidad descriptiva. Por muestreo aleatorio simple, se seleccionó 72 trabajadores de una población de 97 empleados (CL de 95% y ±5%) para encuestas y análisis temático de entrevistas semiestructuradas a través de SPSS y ATLAS.ti. Se concluyó que entre los factores de una emergencia paro cardiorrespiratoria que afectan la respuesta de los primeros respondedores menos experimentados se encuentran la ansiedad y miedo al error, inseguridad y duda sobre habilidades, temor a las consecuencias sociales y legales, el entorno y contexto social, la preocupación por la percepción pública y la falta de preparación adecuada con un enfoque de género diferenciado.

Document management as a mechanism for organizational efficiency in a public institution in Latacunga canton

2025-06-27T20:00:13+00:00

T
he purpose of this research is to analyze document management (DM) as a mechanism for
organizational efficiency (OE) in a public institution in the Latacunga canton. Grounded in
theories of document management and organizational efficiency, this study explores how proper
document organization enhances processes and transparency. From a total population of four
hundred fifty-nine (459) employees, a survey was conducted with a sample of two hundred
ten (210) participants, evaluating key dimensions such as document generation, preservation,
systematization, and access, along with process efficiency, human resource management,
innovation capacity, transparency, and citizen satisfaction. The data were processed using the
software SPSS, applying Karl Pearson’s Chi-square test and Charles Spearman’s correlation test
to analyze the relationship between document management and organizational efficiency. The
results indicate that DM significantly impacts OE; notably, the Chi-square value (150.894,
p < 0.001) showed a significant association, while Spearman’s correlation (0.722, p < 0.001)
confirmed a strong relationship. These findings demonstrate that digital tools for DM enhance
accessibility and reduce information duplication, contributing to greater OE. The results
underscore the need to improve document management systems to optimize internal processes
and promote greater transparency within the institution, directly benefiting both employees
and, most importantly, citizens.

Técnicas de monitoreo: Alternativas para la aplicación en el estudio del zorro andino (Lycalopex culpaeus) en Cotopaxi

2025-07-08T00:08:04+00:00

Lycalopex culpaeus reissii, is the largest canid in South America, one of the native species of the páramo, and is also considered a biological indicator of environmental quality. Since there is no information on this species in Ecuador, the objective was to establish the most appropriate monitoring techniques for the study of the Andean fox in the paramos of Cotopaxi province. For this, an analysis and selection of the information available on the internet (repositories, articles, books, manuals, blogs), google academic, PubMed, Web of science, where we used the inclusion criteria based on monitoring techniques for mammals, and studies ranging from 1950 to 2023, using keywords such as: “monitoring”, ‘techniques’, “direct and indirect”, “Andean fox” and “Lycalopex culpaeus”, selecting a total of 48 relevant, pertinent and reliable documents. Therefore, it was concluded that the combination of direct (line transects, capture and camera traps) and indirect monitoring techniques ( footprints, feces, refuges, bones, fur, scratches, burrows, water sources, trails) plus the use of satellite technologies are adapted to the conditions of the páramo to be used in studies on the presence, population density, movements, habits and behavior, This, in turn, contributes to decision-making on policies for the protection of the Andean fox and its environment in the province of Cotopaxi.

Integration of Medical Motorcycles into Prehospital Care in Cuenca: Operational Proposal to Reduce Response Times

2025-07-28T21:48:49+00:00

En la ciudad de Cuenca, el sistema de atención prehospitalaria presenta deficiencias estructurales y operativas que dificultan una respuesta oportuna ante emergencias, especialmente en zonas con alta congestión vehicular. Esta situación impacta directamente en la atención de eventos tiempo-dependientes, donde los minutos iniciales resultan decisivos para la evolución clínica del paciente. Frente a esta problemática, el uso de motocicletas médicas como unidades de intervención rápida ha mostrado resultados positivos en diversos contextos internacionales.

Este trabajo examina la factibilidad técnica y operativa de incorporar motocicletas al sistema de emergencias de Cuenca, a partir de una revisión crítica de literatura científica y documentos institucionales publicados entre 2019 y 2024. El análisis se centró en la aplicabilidad clínica, el funcionamiento operativo y la viabilidad de adaptación del modelo a la realidad local.

Los resultados destacan que estas unidades permiten disminuir significativamente los tiempos de llegada al lugar de la emergencia, brindando una atención inicial que incluye valoración clínica, soporte vital básico, administración de medicamentos esenciales y transmisión de datos en tiempo real. La propuesta contempla un modelo escalonado de equipamiento, un módulo farmacológico clasificado por grupos terapéuticos y el uso de tecnología portátil avanzada. A pesar de los desafíos normativos y logísticos, se concluye que esta alternativa representa una solución factible y beneficiosa para mejorar la eficiencia del sistema prehospitalario en entornos urbanos como Cuenca.
