Hay poca evidencia sobre el impacto de la pandemia de COVID-19 en el agotamiento en el personal militar de primera línea y cómo el tiempo de trabajo puede influir en esta condición. Nuestro objetivo fue determinar la asociación entre el tiempo de trabajo y el síndrome de Burnout en personal militar. Se realizó un estudio transversal utilizando datos secundarios entre 576 militares de Lambayeque, Perú durante la segunda ola de COVID-19 en 2021. Utilizamos el instrumento Inventario de Burnout de Maslach para medir el Síndrome de Burnout. Evaluamos su asociación con el tiempo de trabajo, medido como el número de meses que el militar trabajó durante la pandemia. La prevalencia del síndrome de burnout fue del 9%. Del total de la muestra, 39,1% y 10,3% presentaron despersonalización y agotamiento emocional, respectivamente. El personal militar que trabajaba durante más de 18 meses tenía una prevalencia del síndrome de Burnout un 104 % mayor (PR: 2,04, IC del 95 %: 1,02–4,10). La exposición a un tiempo de trabajo prolongado durante la pandemia aumentó la prevalencia del síndrome de Burnout en el personal militar. Esta información ayuda a comprender los efectos potenciales de la pandemia en esta población y proporciona información sobre el tiempo que los militares necesitarían descansar para prevenir el síndrome de Burnout.

Association between Working Time and Burnout Syndrome in Peruvian Military during the Second Epidemic Wave of COVID-19
(MDPI, 2022-10-20) Valladares-Garrido, Mario J.; Zapata-Castro, Luis Eduardo; Picón-Reategui, Cinthia Karina; Mesta-Pintado, Ana Paula; Picón-Reategui, Ronald Alberto; Huaman-Garcia, Mariana; Pereira-Victorio, César Johan; Valladares-Garrido, Danai; Failoc-Rojas, Virgilio E.
There is scant evidence on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on burnout in front-line military personnel and how working time may influence on this condition. We aimed to determine the association between working time and Burnout syndrome in military personnel. A cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data among 576 military personnel from Lambayeque, Peru during the second wave of COVID-19 in 2021. We used the Maslach Burnout Inventory instrument to measure Burnout Syndrome. We evaluated its association with work time, measured as the number of months that the military member worked during the pandemic. The prevalence of burnout syndrome was 9%. Of the total sample, 39.1% and 10.3% presented depersonalization and emotional exhaustion, respectively. Military personnel working for more than 18 months had a 104% higher prevalence of Burnout syndrome (PR: 2.04, 95%CI: 1.02–4.10). Exposure to a prolonged work time during the pandemic increased the prevalence of Burnout syndrome in military personnel. This information helps to understand the potential effects of the pandemic on this population and provides insight into the time the military members would need rest to prevent Burnout syndrome.

Factors Associated with Knowledge of Evacuation Routes and Having an Emergency Backpack in Individuals Affected by a Major Earthquake in Piura, Peru
(MDPI, 2022-11-09) Valladares-Garrido, Mario J.; Zapata-Castro, Luis E.; Valdiviezo-Morales, Christopher G.; García-Vicente, Abigaíl; León-Figueroa, Darwin A.; Calle-Preciado, Raúl; Failoc-Rojas, Virgilio E.; Pereira-Victorio, César Johan; Díaz-Vélez, Cristian
Information on the prevention of earthquakes in Peru, a high-risk country, is still emerging. We determined the frequency and factors associated with knowledge of evacuation routes and the use of emergency backpacks in people affected by a major earthquake. A cross-sectional study using secondary data was conducted from August–December 2021 on people that experienced the 6.1 magnitude earthquake that occurred in Piura, Peru on 30 July 2021. The outcome was self-reported knowledge of evacuation routes and the use of emergency backpacks. The association with self-reported earthquake preparation training, use of sources of information on earthquakes, and sociodemographic variables was investigated. A total of 69.5% of participants knew evacuation routes, and 46.3% had an emergency backpack. A higher frequency of knowledge of evacuation routes was associated with previous training (PR: 1.47; 95% CI: 1.15–1.87), use of the media (PR: 1.35; 95% CI: 1.06–1.72), having received information from the COEN (PR: 1.19; 95% CI: 1.02–1.40), and with a greater number of household members (PR: 1.03; 95% CI: 1.01–1.06). There is a high frequency of knowledge of evacuation routes among participants. However, basic notions of prevention culture are still needed. This research contributes to policy development on earthquake preparation at the community level.

Factors Associated with Mortality in Patients with COVID-19 from a Hospital in Northern Peru
(MDPI, 2023-03-23) Valladares-Garrido, Mario J.; Alvarez-Risco, Aldo; Vasquez-Elera, Luis E.; Valdiviezo-Morales, Christopher G.; Martinez-Rivera, Raisa N.; Cruz-Zapata, Annel L.; Pereira-Victorio, César Johan; Garcia-Peña, Elian; Failoc-Rojas, Virgilio E.; Del-Aguila-Arcentales, Shyla; Davies, Neal M.; Yáñez, Jaime A.
We aimed to identify the factors associated with mortality in patients with COVID-19 from the hospitalization service of the Cayetano Heredia Hospital, Piura, Peru, from May to June 2020. A prospective study was conducted in hospitalized patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 through serological and/or molecular reactive testing. The dependent variable was death due to COVID-19, and the independent variables were the epidemiological, clinical and laboratory characteristics of the patient. The chi-square test and the non-parametric Mann–Whitney U test were used, with a significance level of 5%. Of 301 patients with COVID-19, the majority of them were male (66.1%), and the mean age was 58.63 years. Of the patients analyzed, 41.3% of them died, 40.2% of them were obese and 59.8% of them had hepatic steatosis. The three most frequent signs/symptoms were dyspnea (90.03%), fatigue (90.03%) and a cough (84.72%). Being an older adult (p = 0.011), being hospitalized in the ICU (p = 0.001), overweight (p = 0.016), obese (p = 0.021) and having compromised consciousness (p = 0.039) and thrombocytopenia (p = 0.024) were associated with mortality due to COVID-19. Overall, the mortality rate due to COVID-19 was 41.3%. Having an older age, being hospitalized in the ICU, overweight, obese and having compromised consciousness and thrombocytopenia were positively associated with mortality in patients with COVID-19. These findings highlight the need to establish an adequate system of surveillance and epidemiological education in hospitals and communities in the event of new outbreaks, especially in rural and northern Peru.

“Factors Associated with Perceived Change in Weight, Physical Activity, and Food Consumption during the COVID-19 Lockdown in Latin America“
(MDPI, 2023-01-28) Mejia, Christian R.; Farfán, Bertha; Figueroa-Tarrillo, Jorge A.; Palomino, Kely; Pereira-Victorio, César Johan; Failoc-Rojas, Virgilio E.; Valladares-Garrido, Mario J.
“Quarantine and the restrictions necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic have generated problems in nutrition and physical condition around the world. We aimed to determine factors associated with changes in perceived weight and lifestyle factors during the COVID-19 quarantine in Latin America, conducting a cross-sectional study based on a survey administered in more than a dozen countries during June–August 2020. Perceptions of weight changes and alterations in other habits were investigated and were associated with social factors and self-reported diseases. Of 8800 respondents, the majority perceived that they had gained weight and had been less physically active. Being female, living in Bolivia, obesity, and stress were factors associated with a higher perception of weight gain. A higher perception of physical activity was also associated with living in Chile, being of older age, being female, having diabetes, obesity, and stress. When living in Paraguay and Mexico, being female, obesity, anxiety, and stress were associated with a higher perception of unhealthy food consumption. When living in Bolivia, women, obesity, and stress were associated with a higher perception of consuming larger food portions. In conclusion, the perceived changes in weight and lifestyle during the pandemic were more evident in women, people with comorbidities, and those with emotional distress. Differences in the perception of weight changes were minimal among Latin American countries. This information suggests the possible metabolic implications in at-risk individuals that should be further addressed by researchers for timely intervention. “

“Prevalence and Factors Associated with Eating Disorders in Military First Line of Defense against COVID-19: A Cross-Sectional Study during the Second Epidemic Wave in Peru“
(MDPI, 2023-02-06) Valladares-Garrido, Mario J.; León-Figueroa, Darwin A.; Picón-Reátegui, Cinthia Karina; García-Vicente, Abigaíl; Valladares-Garrido, Danai; Failoc-Rojas, Virgilo E.; Pereira-Victorio, César Johan
“: Few studies have evaluated eating disorders in military personnel engaged in defense activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. We aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with eating disorders in military personnel from Lambayeque, Peru. A secondary data analysis was performed among 510 military personnel during the second epidemic wave of COVID-19 in Peru. We used the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) to assess eating disorders. We explored associations with insomnia, food insecurity, physical activity, resilience, fear to COVID-19, burnout syndrome, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress and selected sociodemographic variables. Eating disorders were experienced by 10.2% of participants. A higher prevalence of eating disorders was associated with having 7 to 12 months (PR: 2.97; 95% CI: 1.24–7.11) and 19 months or more (PR: 2.62; 95% CI: 1.11–6.17) working in the first line of defense against COVID-19, fear of COVID-19 (PR: 2.20; 95% CI: 1.26–3.85), burnout syndrome (PR: 3.73; 95% CI: 1.90–7.33) and post-traumatic stress (PR: 2.97; 95% CI: 1.13–7.83). A low prevalence of eating disorders was found in the military personnel. However, prevention of this problem should be focused on at-risk groups that experience mental health burdens. “

Suicide Risk in Military Personnel during the COVID-19 Health Emergency in a Peruvian Region: A Cross-Sectional Study
(MDPI, 2022-10-19) Valladares-Garrido, Mario J.; Picón-Reátegui, Cinthia Karina; Zila-Velasque, J. Pierre; Grados-Espinoza, Pamela; Hinostroza-Zarate, Cristian M.; Failoc-Rojas, Virgilio E.; Pereira-Victorio, César Johan
“: Military personnel represent a frontline group exposed to multiple stressors. These factors have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, predisposing to the development of suicidal risk (SR). Given the few studies conducted in this population, we evaluated the prevalence of SR and its associated factors during the health emergency. A cross-sectional survey study was conducted in person among 514 participants in Lambayeque, Peru in 2021. The outcome was SR, and the exposures were depression (PHQ-9), anxiety (GAD-7), PTSD (PCL-C), and other sociodemographic variables. The prevalence of SR was 14.0% (95% CI: 11.12–17.31%) and was significantly higher in people with a family history of mental health (PR: 2.16; 95% CI: 1.13–4.15) and in those with moderate clinical insomnia (PR: 2.21; 95% CI: 1.19–4.12). Military personnel with high resilience had a lower prevalence of SR (PR: 0.54, CI: 0.31–0.95). Anxiety was associated with a higher prevalence of SR (PR: 3.27; 95% CI: 1.76–6.10). Our findings show that at least 1 out of 10 military personnel are at risk of suicide. Special attention should be paid to the associated factors to develop interventions and reverse their consequences. These results may be useful in policy implementation and general statistics of SR in the local and regional context.“
