Adherence factors involved in the treatment of cancer patients
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-09) Saravia Reyes, Mabel Magaly; Vilca Huallanca, María Esperanza; Gamarra Bustillos, Carlos
Objective: Determine the adherence factors that intervene in the treatment of cancer patients. Methodology: It is a systematic review in different Medline databases - Pubmed, Lilacs, Scielo and Science direct, following the PICO format, the inclusion criteria were: scientific articles published between 2006 and 2016 in Spanish and English, with selection final of 12 articles. Results: Of the 12 articles reviewed, 100% (12/12 articles) that intervened were the sociocultural factor, which had 59% (7/12), while the factor of adverse effects to treatment had 50% (6/12) and the economic factor has 17% (2/12). The quality of the articles was mostly moderate at 75% (9/12). In the most searched articles it was in the country of Nigeria (3/12) with 25.6%, in which the dimension that most intervened for non-adherence to treatment was the economic factor. Conclusions: The associated adherence factor was, according to this review, multifactorial and involves sociocultural factors, adverse effects of treatment, and economic factors. Strategies and alternatives must be generated to develop early interventions that allow for better therapeutic adherence in cancer patients.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-07-10) Sosa Atravero, Sharon Jennifer; Gamarra Bustillos, Carlos
Introduction: Boys and girls from 6 months to 36 months are considered part of the vulnerable population, one of the most common pathologies in this age range is anemia, this is due to the fact that they begin to eat foods prepared by the mother and In many cases, mothers do not include iron-rich foods. To prevent this disease, all health facilities provide micronutrients, which the mother has to give to her children daily. Objective: “To determine the relationship that exists between adherence to treatment with micronutrients and level of iron deficiency anemia in children from 6 to 36 months in the Urpay Health Post district of Acos Vinchos, Ayacucho – 2022” Methods: the study has a deductive method , quantitative approach, correlational type. The population is 80 children from 6 to 36 months and the sample is 67 boys and girls who are treated at the Urpay Health Post. The sample will be taken between the months of April and August 2022 using the micronutrient treatment adherence survey, which was created and validated in Peru.

Advantages of the FOUR scale compared to the Glasgow scale in predicting mortality in neurocritical patients.
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-03-25) Achaca Palomino, Raquel Elizabeth; Caballero Ramírez, Jesús Miguel; Gamarra Bustillos, Carlos
Objective: To systematize the evidence on the advantages of the FOUR Scale compared to the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) in predicting mortality in neurocritical patients. Methodology: This is a systematic review of 14 articles from different databases, with the search restricted to full-text articles and using the GRADE system for evaluation. Results: From the systematic review, 50% of the authors report that the FOUR Scale provides a better prediction of mortality and offers a more detailed neurological assessment in coma patients in the ICU, as it can assess intubated patients and those with aphasia, including evaluation of brainstem reflexes and respiration. Another 50% of the reviewed articles suggest that the FOUR Scale can predict hospital mortality as well as the GCS and that both can be used to assess the level of consciousness in neurocritical patients. Conclusion: Both the FOUR Scale and the GCS perform well as predictors of mortality and neurological assessment in neurocritical patients. However, the FOUR Scale offers more advantages by including brainstem reflexes and respiration within its scoring system.

Complications of cervical collar use in trauma patients requiring immobilization
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-11-12) Montero Crisologo, Diana Carolina; Vega López, Karen Rocio; Gamarra Bustillos, Carlos
Methodology: Systematic, observational and retrospective review, the search has been restricted to articles with full text, and the selected articles were subjected to a critical reading to identify their level of evidence. In the final selection, 10 articles were chosen, we found that 30% (03) correspond to the United States, with 20% (02) in Holland, while with 10% (01) we find England, Iran, Norway, Australia and Iceland respectively. Among the systemic reviews we find the countries of the United States, Norway, England and Iran, which account for 40% of the studies carried out, also with 20% we have prospective studies belonging to Australia and Holland, 20% of retrospective studies carried out in the US and the Netherlands, 10% corresponds to a US randomized controlled trial. Results: Of the 10 articles found, 6 of them mention that one of the first most frequent complications are pressure ulcers, followed by 2 articles that tell us that there is an increase in intracranial pressure caused by excessive adjustment of the cervical collar and 2 articles where the authors agree with the presence of pressure ulcers and increased intracranial pressure. In this way we were able to confirm that there are complications from the use of the cervical collar in traumatized patients who require immobilization. The authors confirm that pressure ulcers are due to the patient's skin type and the length of time the collar is worn. Conclusions: Of the total number of articles analyzed, 100% confirm that the use of the cervical collar produces compilations such as pressure ulcers at primary and secondary level, jugular venous pressure and tissue interface pressure in traumatized patients requiring immobilization.

Objective: Systematize the evidence on the adverse effects of dexamethasone compared to prednisone for the treatment of children with asthma attacks who attend the emergency service. Materials and Methods: Systematic reviews were used as an observational and retrospective research design, which synthesizes the results of multiple primary investigations, being an essential part of medicine and its related areas, such as nursing, and is based on evidence considering its Rigorous methodology, identifying relevant studies to answer specific questions of clinical practice. Results: In the data search, the adverse effects of dexamethasone were examined compared to prednisone for the treatment of children with asthma attacks who go to the emergency service. Of the total of 09 articles, 08 of them show that dexamethasone presents fewer reactions. adverse effects compared to prednisone for the treatment of children with asthma attacks presenting to the emergency department, patients who received dexamethasone were less likely to experience vomiting in the department, this is It is related to the fact that it is more palatable than prednisone, which allows complete administration of the medication and reduces emergency readmissions, also highlighting the lower cost (10-17). Conclusions: Dexamethasone presents fewer adverse reactions compared to prednisone for the treatment of children with asthma attacks who attend the emergency service, patients who received dexamethasone were less likely to experience vomiting in the service, this is related to the fact that it is more palatable than prednisone, which allows complete administration of the medication and reduces emergency readmissions.
