(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-08-24) Cancio Nuñez, Virginia Estefania; Cordero Bravo, María Del Carmen; Gómez Gonzales, Walter Edgar
Objective: Systematize evidence on the factors that influence depression in long-stay geriatric patients. Results: The articles found, 14 of them, indicate that the factors that influence depression in the elderly are: 1.- Socio-demographic factor (female sex, incomplete primary education, illiteracy, grief, chronic degenerative diseases, entry into residence, fear to death, neurological and psychiatric disorders, marital status, high levels of anxiety, institutionalized less than 1 year), 2.- Economic Factor: low income, type of home, poor social support, dependency economic3.- ABVD factor: functional dependence, sedentary lifestyle, partially dependent women, dependence on some of the ABVD, polypharmacy, urinary incontinence, falls, sleep disorder. Conclusion: The socio-demographic, economic and ABDL factors described in the results influence depression in older adults. The same process of institutionalization has been documented by some authors as a trigger for depressive processes, and some authors propose how institutionalization in residences is associated with factors that favor the appearance of depressive symptoms or symptoms and that can lead to an increase in the prevalence of this process.

Introduction: Immunizations save between 2 and 3 million lives each year. It is one of the most successful and cost-effective public health interventions. At a global level, in recent years, the percentages of children who receive the coverage of recommended vaccines to improve the health of the population have varied. Thus, throughout the world, it was achieved that 85% of infants were administered three doses of ( DPT3) vaccine that protects against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis infectious diseases that cause disorders, disabilities and even death where it finally achieved 90% coverage of this vaccine. Currently, vaccines protect children very well, but despite this, one in five children under 1 year of age does not receive the basic vaccines they need to survive and stay healthy. Objective: determine the relationship between knowledge about immunizations and compliance with the vaccination schedule in mothers of children under 5 years of age at the Barranca hospital - 2020 Methodology: A descriptive, non-experimental, cross-sectional study will be carried out. The study population will be made up of 132 mothers with children under 5 years of age who attend the vaccination center at the Barranca Hospital, to whom the questionnaire on Knowledge about Immunizations and Compliance with the Vaccination Schedule will be applied as an instrument.

The study will follow a quantitative approach, correlational level, with a non-experimental, descriptive, and cross-sectional observational design. The study population will consist of 120 family members of ICU patients at the National Hospital in Lima. To measure the uncertainty variable, the Perception of Uncertainty in Illness Scale will be used. This scale comprises 31 items with a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5, where 1 = Strongly disagree and 5 = Strongly agree. It was validated by the research committee of the University of Cartagena’s School of Nursing, achieving content validity with a V-Aiken score > 0.91. The variable of death-related depression will be measured using the Death Depression Scale. This questionnaire consists of 21 items with a Likert scale from 1 to 5, where 1 = Strongly disagree and 5 = Strongly agree.
