Item MODELO DE OREM APLICADO A NIÑOS CON PARASITOSIS DE LA UNIDAD EDUCATIVA FRANCISCO FLOR(2025-06-17) Gómez Valencia, María José; Fernández Nieto, Miriam Ivonne; Universidad Técnica de Ambato / Facultad de Ciencias de Salud / Carrera de EnfermeríaParasitosis is an infection that affects the small and large intestine. It is a public health problem that significantly affects the child population, especially in groups with poor hygiene conditions and limited access to health services. In Ecuador, this condition is particularly prevalent among preschool and school-aged children, which negatively impacts their physical and cognitive development. The high incidence of parasitosis in vulnerable areas, where the practice of good hygiene habits and neglect of their parents are the main cause of it, highlights the need to establish effective intervention strategies that not only address treatment, but also education for the prevention of this disease. The Dorothea Orem Self-Care Model is widely valued in nursing practice. It provides a solid theoretical framework that promotes the improvement of health care by developing the capacity for self-care in individuals. This model places particular emphasis on education and the promotion of healthy habits, considering them essential for the prevention and control of diseases such as parasitosis. This research focuses on the application of the Orem Model in children from the Francisco Flor Educational Unit, located in the parish of Huachi Chico, Ambato canton. Through this study, we seek to compare self-care practices in relation to hygiene measures, analyzing their effectiveness in reducing the prevalence of parasitosis in this vulnerable group. In addition, we aim to establish specific guidelines to improve health education and the active participation of children in their own care, thus contributing to improving their quality of life.Item Parasitosis y su relación con anemia y desnutrición en niños de 5 a 9 años de la parroquia Pilahín del cantón Ambato(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2023-03-01) Armendariz Freire, Santiago Javier; Pacha Jara, Ana Gabriela Bqf. Mg.Worldwide, intestinal parasitosis is a public health problem that mainly affects school children. Several studies have been carried out on this pathology with the aim of relating it to the development of other diseases such as malnutrition and anemia. The present study aims to determine parasitosis and its relationship with anemia and malnutrition in children aged 5 to 9 years in the Pilahuín parish of the Ambato canton. The sample consisted of 100 children who decided to participate in the study and provided the respective bloo d samples for the measurement of hemoglobin concentration and feces for the identification of intestinal parasites by direct observation in fresh and Faust flotation technique with the use of Zinc Sulfate, additionally anthropometric measurements were taken and information was collected through the application of surveys to assess the social conditions in which children live. It was evidenced that 80% of the population presented parasitosis, of which 61.25% presented polyparasitosis, 72.50% were pathogenic parasites and a predominance of protozoa was observed in 96.5% with Blastocystis sp, Entamoeba coli cyst and Endolimax nana cyst as the parasites with the highest predom inance in this populationItem Obstrucción intestinal por áscaris lumbricoides en pacientes pediátricos, revisión de dos casos clínicos(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Medicina, 2022-11) Sucuzhañay Once, Adriana Marianela; Cadena, Juan CarlosIntroduction: Infections by parasites represent a global health problem, being the most common parasitosis caused by Ascaris Lumbricoides with a special focus on people who live in places with poor sanitary conditions or people who live in overcrowding as evidenced in rural areas of our country and its massive invasion can cause very serious consequences such as intestinal obstruction and lead to serious consequences especially in pediatric patients due to the small size of their organs and the dimensions that these parasites reach in their adult form. Objective: To describe the risk factors, clinical symptoms and results of paraclinical studies of two clinical cases that presented intestinal obstruction due to Ascaris Lumbricoides infection in pediatric patients. Materials and methods: For the preparation of this work, information was collected and an analysis of the clinical cases was carried out, both of the data obtained and the actions taken by the medical personnel in relation to the adequate and updated information found in the database. of data. Results: Information was obtained from two clinical cases of pediatric patients during the year 2021 who presented with intestinal obstruction secondary to massive invasion by ascaris lumbricoides with similar symptoms with criteria of acute abdomen, for which exploratory laparotomy was decided as a diagnostic and therapeutic method. . Conclusions: Intestinal obstruction due to ascariasis in pediatric patients is rare and its symptoms are not conclusive, therefore the importance of taking into account risk factors such as the place where it comes from and the sanitary conditions in which they live, for the diagnosis and timely treatment in order to avoid complications with a high risk of mortality such as intestinal obstruction, it is always important in patients with predisposing factors, preventive measures (hand hygiene, food sanitation, access to drinking water, etc.) still above even the prophylactic ones
