(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-08-02) Cristóbal Mejia, Yenitza Elizabeth; Quiñonez Condor, Judith Lady; Fernández Rengifo, Werther Fernando
Objective: Systematize the evidence on noise exposure as a contributing factor to work stress in health personnel in different hospital units. Materials and Methods: Systematic Review where we seek to synthesize the evidence obtained from various primary and secondary investigations. We have relevant studies that answer the research question, in search we have a restriction of articles with the full title, as for the outstanding studies, they were subjected to the interpretation of the content applied strategic judgment, using the system called grade to identify the strength of the recommendation. Results: we have 10 selected articles, as a result of the review it was obtained that 3/10 (30%) studies were carried out in Brazil, 2/10 (20%) in Colombia, 2/10 (20%) in Mexico, 1 /10 (10%) in the United States, 1 /10 (10%) in Ecuador and 1 /10 (10%) in Chile. 50% of the evidence was of high quality, 10% of medium quality and 40% of low quality of evidence. 50% were systematic reviews, 30% were cross-sectional descriptive studies, 10% were expert opinions and 10% were cohort studies. Conclusions: Noise is a factor that contributes to stress in health workers in various hospital areas. In 3 of the 10 articles it is evident that the hearing threshold is different depending on the person, there are essential factors among them we have gender, age and marital status that increase the risks of suffering damage to this threshold. Each health personnel perceives noise differently. The noises generated in hospital units are not the only ones; we also have noises from the outside environment such as the noise of cars (horn), shouting of users, etc., which lead to human responses such as annoyance, lack of concentration, stress and this is reflected in work performance.

Analyze and systematize the evidence on the risk factors that determine domestic violence in older adults. Materials and Methods: Observational Systematic Review that is a fundamental tool to schematize the available information, increase the validity of the conclusions of individual studies and point out areas where it is necessary to carry out research, as well as synthesize the results of multiple primary investigations. The search was limited to articles with full text, and the chosen articles were subjected to critical reading, using the grade system to establish the strength of recommendation. Results: Various scientific articles were found, 40% were studies done in Ecuador and the remaining 60% were studies done in different countries such as Venezuela, Cuba, Italy, Brazil and Trinidad and Tobago. For the type of quality of the evidence, it was found that 40% of the studies reviewed are of High quality. According to the study design, 50% of the studies were descriptive cross-sectional, 40% were systematic reviews and 10% were retrospective. Conclusions: Of the 10 articles examined, 8 of them show gender as the main risk factor for domestic violence in older adults; age is another important factor shown in 8 of 10 studies; 6 of the 10 studies mention another factor, the presence of physical or cognitive disability; 3 of the 10 studies point to educational level as another risk factor; and family structure in 3 of 10 studies.
