This study focuses on the analysis of the demographic profile and functional capacity of the elderly at the "San Vicente de Paul" shelter in Lima in 2014. The objective was to determine the relationship between the demographic profile and functional capacity. The sample consisted of 109 elderly individuals from the "San Vicente de Paul" shelter. The instruments used included records for the demographic profile from the medical history and the Barthel Index for functional capacity. The data were analyzed statistically using SPSS 20.0 software with a significance level of p<0.05. The study was quantitative, with a descriptive, correlational design. The results of the demographic profile showed that regarding gender, 38.54% had total functional capacity, 11% had severe functional capacity, 4.58% had moderate functional capacity, and 45.88% had mild functional capacity. Regarding age, 38.51% had total functional capacity, 11.02% had severe functional capacity, 4.61% had moderate functional capacity, and 45.86% had mild functional capacity. Regarding their time of residence, 38.53% had total functional capacity, 11.01% had severe functional capacity, 4.59% had moderate functional capacity, and 45.87% had mild functional capacity. Regarding their place of origin, 38.53% had total functional capacity, 11.01% had severe functional capacity, 4.58% had moderate functional capacity, and 45.88% had mild functional capacity.

Factors of occupational low back pain in nursing staff in the Medicine services at Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen National Hospital
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2011) Prieto Jaimes, Rosa Mercedes; Salazar De La Torre, Milagros Emperatriz
Low back pain represents a significant public health issue in societies due to its high prevalence, impact, magnitude, and socioeconomic repercussions, particularly affecting the working-age population. In this context, nursing staff constitutes an important group (representing approximately 60% of the human resources in hospital institutions) due to the specific working conditions, such as continuous service and the predominance of females in the profession. These factors give the issue a particular relevance. The aim of this study was to determine the factors related to occupational low back pain among nursing staff in the Medicine services of the Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen National Hospital. The study was quantitative, descriptive-comparative, and cross-sectional. The sample consisted of 41 nursing professionals from the Internal Medicine Service of the hospital. The instrument used was a questionnaire, which underwent content validity testing. The results indicate a prevalence of factors that contribute to low back pain: unfavorable environmental conditions, activities, and demands; as well as incorrect patient handling or lifting techniques. A moderate risk prevalence was found for the risk factor “forced positions and postures.”

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2015) Aslla Clavijo, Odalis Felicitas; Cutipa Quijhua, Olga; Salazar De La Torre, Milagros Emperatriz
This research study aimed to determine the level of knowledge about newborn care among adolescent mothers in the adolescent mother service at the National Mother-Child Teaching Hospital San Bartolomé – Lima. The study type was descriptive, prospective, and cross-sectional. The technique used was the survey, and the instrument was a questionnaire. The sample consisted of 53 adolescent mothers, aged 10 to 19, hospitalized in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Service (Adolescent Mother Service) at the National Mother-Child Teaching Hospital San Bartolomé – Lima. Conclusions: The majority (52.8%) of adolescent mothers had a medium level of knowledge. Furthermore, 71.7% of the adolescent mothers were between the ages of 17 and 19, indicating that they were not adequately prepared to take on the responsibility of caring for and raising a newborn, due to their ongoing process of development and formation, as they have not yet naturally completed a fundamental stage of their lives. Additionally, 60.4% of the adolescent mothers were engaged in household tasks. Adolescent mothers need guidance from nursing professionals to provide care for their newborns and ensure their well-being.
