(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-07-08) Lino Gamarra, Jimena; Fernandez Sobrados, July; Calsin Pacompia, Wilmer
Objective: To analyze and systematize the evidence on the efficacy of conventional sutures versus staples in patients undergoing cesarean surgeries. Materials and Methods: This is a systematic review that included a sample of 10 scientific articles published and indexed in scientific databases such as Cochrane Journal, PubMed, Online Library, and Epistemonikos. Of all the articles included in the study, 7 were conducted in the United States, while 1 was conducted in Nigeria, 1 in China, and 1 in India. Additionally, when grouped by study design, 60% of the articles were meta-analyses, 30% were retrospective cohort studies, and the remaining 10% was a prospective cohort study. Results: 80% of the studies show that conventional sutures are more effective than staples, as they presented fewer complications, less wound dehiscence, better healing in post-cesarean patients, and higher satisfaction, although staples had shorter operative time. 20% of the studies indicate no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusions: It was concluded that conventional sutures are more effective than staples in post-cesarean patients.

Knowledge and attitudes of adolescent mothers regarding newborn care at home.
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2015) Lino Gamarra, Jimena; Quispe Mendoza, Sonia Alicia; Zavaleta Gutiérrez, Violeta Aideé
This study addresses the issue of adolescent mothers' situation in relation to newborn care. It is known that these mothers will transition from being daughters to becoming mothers, and getting pregnant does not guarantee that they will reach physical and emotional maturity. Objective: To determine the relationship between the knowledge and attitudes of adolescent mothers regarding newborn care at home. Material and Method: This study is quantitative, descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional. The sample consisted of 71 postpartum adolescent mothers discharged from the Gyneco-Obstetrics Service at the National Teaching Hospital for Women and Children San Bartolomé between May and August 2015. To assess knowledge, a questionnaire validated through expert judgment and the binomial test was applied. The reliability was tested using the KR 20 test, and attitudes were evaluated using the Likert scale, whose validity and reliability were determined through expert judgment and Cronbach’s Alpha. Results: In evaluating the level of knowledge, 59.2% had medium knowledge, 23.9% had low knowledge, and 16.9% had high knowledge. Regarding attitudes, 56.3% exhibited indifference, 25.4% acceptance, and 18.3% rejection. Conclusion: It was concluded that there is no relationship between the knowledge and attitudes of adolescent mothers regarding newborn care, as they possess medium to low knowledge and show an indifferent attitude towards the newborn.
