In this context, the national government on May 2, 2020, through the issuance of Supreme Decree No. 080-2020-PCM, adopted the measure to prevent the economy from being affected, excepting the mining sector from prohibited activities. Thus, in July 2020, it was officially reported that workers had tested positive for COVID-19 in the mining sector, evidencing inadequate levels of health risk perception, since biosafety protocols were not well implemented or turned out to be insufficient. Objective: Determine the perception of health risk against COVID-19 in the workers of the Mota Engil Antamina 2021 company. Material and Method: This research has a quantitative approach, descriptive type, its design is cross-sectional observational, it will be carried out at the Antamina mining company.

Objective: To evaluate the evidence on the implications of alcohol consumption for treatment adherence in adults with Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Materials and Methods: The systematic review synthesizes the results of multiple primary studies. It is an essential component of Evidence-Based Nursing, involving a systematic investigation of findings in the research. Scientific articles selected to support this objective were analyzed using the GRADE method, an instrument that evaluates the effectiveness of evidence. Results: The final selection included 10 articles, which found that alcohol consumption affects MDR-TB treatment in the following countries: Belarus (37.8%), South Africa (64%), Kerala-India (87.5%), Western India (22%), Karnataka-India (52.2%), South Africa (26.8%), Ethiopia (29.6%), Peru (23.6%), Baltic countries (70%), and the Philippines (75%). Most of the studies were case-control or cohort studies (100%). All 10 articles reviewed found that alcohol consumption leads to non-adherence to MDR-TB treatment.
