Item INFECCIONES NOSOCOMIALES A CAUSA DEL STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS EN PACIENTES HOSPITALIZADOS. REVISIÓN SISTEMÁTICA(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Enfermería, 2024-05-29) Zapata Gallo, Lourdes Verónica; Guarate Coronado, Yeisy CristinaIntroduction: Nosocomial or hospital-acquired infections constitute a serious global public health problem. It is estimated that between 5-10% of hospitalized patients will suffer some type of infection during their stay in health centers. These infections are associated with high rates of morbidity, mortality, and costs to healthcare systems. One of the main agents involved in nosocomial infections is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA). This pathogen has multiple antibiotic resistance mechanisms, which makes its treatment and control in hospital environments difficult. Objective: To analyze the incidence of nosocomial infections due to Staphylococcus Aureus in hospitalized patients. Methodology: A systematic review of recent scientifi c literature on nosocomial Staphylococcus Aureus infections was conducted. The search was carried out in specialized data bases such as Scielo, PubMed, Dialnet, and Google Academia, using key words such as "Nosocomial infections" and "Staphylococcus Aureus." Following the PRISMA flow diagram, inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, yielding a total of 24 articles for analysis. The data were organized into tables with information on authors, journals, methodology, results, and URLs. Results: The results show that MRSA is strongly involved in hospital-acquired infections, with prevalence rates of up to 66% in some regions. Healthcare workers can act as vectors by contaminating their hands and personal items. Among the main preventive measures, epidemiological surveillance programs, carrier detection, optimization of infection control practices and strict compliance with hand hygiene standards are recommended. Conclusions: It is concluded that MRSA represents an important global challenge for the safety of hospitalized patients. Its effective control requires coordinated prevention strategies and the active collaboration of health personnel in the implementation of good practices for the containment of this multidrug-resistant pathogen.Item Estrategias para disminuir afecciones ocupacionales en la piel de las manos del personal de enfermería(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Enfermería, 2022-10-12) Flores Tonato, Erick Sebastian; Chipantiza Córdova, Tannia Elizabethhand skin conditions are one of the major problems faced by nursing personnel due to their continuous exposure to triggeringfactors, thus affecting the quality of the care process. the objective of this research was to promote strategies to reduce occupational hand skin conditions in nursing personnel. a quantitative, observational, descriptive, non-experimental, descriptive study was carried out, based on the collection of data through an instrument validated by means of review by experts in health and scientific research and the application of statistical processes. the population consisted of 80 nursing professionals belonging to public and private health facilities in the city of ambato. the results obtained were that 100% have had hand skin conditions where the most affected were within the range of 11 to 15 years of professional life. prevalent risk factors were exposure to humidity, use of antiseptic solutions and hand washing more than 16 times (63.7%) during the workday. seventy percent reported not having latex allergy and 30% only when its use was prolonged. the main signs and symptoms were erythema, itching and burning. it was evidenced that within the health establishments there are no prevention strategies for these conditions, reason why their creation and implementationwas unanimouslysupported, thus determiningthe importance of this research.Item “Prevalencia de parasitosis intestinal en niños de 2 a 9 años que asisten al centro de salud n° 2 Simón Bolívar de la ciudad de Ambato de la provincia de Tungurahua”(Universidad Técnica de Ambato - Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud - Carrera de Enfermería, 2019-10-01) Morales Llerena, Alexandra Maribel; Fernández Nieto, Miriam Ivonne Lic. Mg.This research is quantitative, descriptive, allows us to observe and detail the problem to be studied to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasitosis in children from 2 to 9 years old who attend the Simon Bolívar Health Center No. 2 of the City of Ambato, with the Aim to identify intestinal parasites in 120 children undergoing coproparasitic studies, a survey was applied to 80 mothers to evaluate knowledge about hygiene habits. Obtaining as results in the laboratory tests that 60% were positive while 40% was negative, the parasites found were 50% Áscaris Lumbricoides, 17% Trichuris Trichiura, 15% Enterobius Vermiculares (pinworms), 4 % Hymenolepis nana, 14% Giardia Lamblia. In the survey applied to mothers on hygienic aspects, 25% wash their hands before eating any food, 31% wash fruits or vegetables before eating them, 47% wash their hands after using the bathroom, 12% play on the ground or ground, 73% wear shoes or footwear, 47% suck their fingers or bite their nails. It is very important that parents go to the medical check-ups with their children to be treated, receive treatment and publicize prevention and care measures for both children and them. The correct way to show affection to children is to teach them how to take care of their health and one of them is to perform proper hygiene. It was concluded that the incidence of parasitosis in children from 2 to 9 years old who were treated is high since the associated factors were the lack of health education and hygiene measures.
