Introduction. Medication therapy adherence is a challenge in the clinical practice of health providers. Objective. To identify predictors of nonadherence to medication therapy and quality of life (QoL) in medication users. Method. A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted at five primary health care (PHC) units in Brazil. Standardized tools included the Self-Reporting Questionnaire, Measurement of Treatment Adherence, and World Health Organization Quality-of-Life-Bref, in addition to a sociodemographic and treatment-related questionnaire. Results. Participants with common mental disorders (CMDs) who used psychotropic medication were more likely to be nonadherent to medication treatment. Sociodemographic variables, presence of a CMD, and psychotropic medication use were key predictors of lower QoL in patients treated at PHC. Discussion and conclusion. The findings of this study could inform interventions designed to improve medication therapy adherence and train public health care professionals to enhance health care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Lateral internal sphincterotomy is the technique of choice for the management of chronic anal fissure. Botulinum toxin has lower complete cure rates, but with significantly lower risk of incontinence. Aim: To evaluate the healing rate, postoperative fecal incontinence and quality of life in patients with chronic anal fissure managed with botulinum toxin. Materials and Methods: Retrospective, prospective, observational and cross-sectional cohort study with consecutive patients. Patients with chronic anal fissure managed with injection of botulinum toxin at the Clinical Hospital of the University of Chile between March 2017 and September 2022 were included. Results: 19 patients, to whom botulinum toxin was administered. Complete healing of the fissure was achieved in all patients, with transient and exclusive fecal incontinence only to gas, which subsided during follow-up. There is a significant improvement in postoperative quality of life. Discussion: Botulinum toxin is a good alternative for the management of chronic anal fissure, with lower healing rates than standard treatment, but a lower proportion of fecal incontinence, generating a relevant benefit. There are no other publications that evaluate quality of life after treatment with botulinum toxin. Conclusion: The administration of botulinum toxin in patients with chronic anal fissure showed promising results in terms of healing, fecal incontinence and postoperative quality of life. In accordance with the recommendations of the American and British guidelines, it should be considered as a therapeutic alternative, especially in patients at high risk of permanent fecal incontinence [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study is to examine how gene mutation diversity and disease severity affect physical capacity and quality of life in children/adolescents with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). Eighty children/adolescents (42 female, 38 male) diagnosed with FMF according to Tell-Hashomer diagnostic criteria were included in this study. Disease severity score (PRAS), running speed and agility and strength subtests of Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency Second Edition Short Form (BOT-2 SF), Physical Activity Questionnaire, Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 3.0 Arthritis Module (PedsQL) was used for evaluation. Participants were divided into 2 groups as M694V and other mutations according to MEFV gene mutation and were divided into 3 groups as mild, moderate and severe according to PRAS. When the data were compared between groups; in terms of gene mutation, a significant difference was observed in treatment subtest of PedsQL-parent form in favor of the M694V gene mutation group (p < 0.05). In terms of PRAS, significant difference was seen in the pain, treatment subtests and total score of the PedsQL-child form, and in the pain, treatment, worry subtests and total score of the PedsQL-parent form in favor of the mild group (p < 0.05). MEFV gene mutations in children and adolescents with FMF did not differ on physical capacity and quality of life. PRAS was not effective on physical parameters, but quality of life decreased as the severity score increased. Encouraging children/adolescents with FMF to participate in physical activity and to support them psychosocially can be important to improve their quality of life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La adopción de hábitos saludables en lo que concierne a la alimentación puede ser considerado una necesidad en cualquier etapa de la vida, sin embargo, esta convicción es mayor, cuando se trata de impulsar la calidad de vida en adultos mayores que requieren más atención, en cuanto a la forma y contenido de su alimentación. Es claro, en ese sentido que, cuando se le relaciona con la salud, la calidad de vida adquiere una perspectiva integral en donde, el bienestar individual esta relacionado, tanto con el cuidado personal a la hora de alimentarse o adquirir practicas de vida saludables, como con el establecimiento de las relaciones en el entorno en el que se desenvuelven los individuos. En esa perspectiva, este artículo, se propuso como objetivo, caracterizar la pertinencia de las estrategias educativas para fomentar habitos nutricionales que favorezcan la calidad de vida de los adultos mayores en una localidad ecuatoriana. Metodologicamente es una investigación mixta, que incluyó un cuestionario sobre educación nutricional, dirigido a algunos encargados de la atención alimentaria y, una muestra de los adultos mayores que habitan en el contexto en estudio. Entre los resultados destaca la importancia de las estrategias con un enfoque sociocultural a la hora de educar nutricionalmente para orientar la adopción de habitos alimenticios que pueden mejorar la calidad de vida, en adultos mayores.

Introducción: La esclerosis múltiple afecta significativamente la calidad de vida de las personas que padecen la enfermedad. Objetivo: Evaluar la calidad de vida de personas con esclerosis múltiple y analizar la asociación con variables sociodemográficas clínicas y funcionales. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio observacional, transversal, descriptivo-correlacional y cuantitativo que utilizó una muestra no probabilística por conveniencia, compuesta por 70 pacientes con esclerosis múltiple, registrados en la Asociación de Esclerosis Múltiple de la Región Central de Portugal. El protocolo de recolección de datos contuvo preguntas sociodemográficas y clínicas, la Escala de Apgar familiar y el Índice de Barthel. En el procesamiento de los datos se utilizó estadística descriptiva e inferencial y la recolección se realizó entre abril y julio de 2021. Resultados: La mayoría de los participantes presentan una calidad de vida general moderada (M=51,78 ± 24,09), con puntuaciones más altas en las relaciones sociales y dominios ambientales y menores en el dominio físico. Una mejor calidad de vida se asoció con una edad inferior a 45 años, mayor nivel educativo, familias funcionales y mayor independencia funcional en las actividades de la vida diaria. Discusión: Las variables con asociación más robusta son las que influyen en el dominio físico y en el dominio social, que explican, en total, el 59,00% y el 53,00% de su variabilidad. Conclusiones: Estos resultados indican que las personas con esclerosis múltiple tienen una calidad de vida comprometida, fortaleciendo la necesidad de implementar nuevas estrategias de diagnóstico precoz e intervenciones preventivas efectivas, potenciando una mejor calidad de vida, en todos los ámbitos que la constituyen.

Objetivo: evaluar la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS), de los supervivientes de una enfermedad crítica a los seis meses del alta de una unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI). Método: estudio observacional de carácter longitudinal realizado en la UCI de un hospital universitario de nivel terciario. Población: todos los pacientes adultos ingresados en UCI, mayores de 18 años, con una estancia > de 48 horas, durante el período del 18 de septiembre del 2020 al 18 de abril del 2021. Criterios de exclusión, pacientes con dificultad con el idioma y personas con alteraciones neurológicas que impidan su comunicación o psiquiátricas graves. Criterios de exclusión, pacientes con dificultad con el idioma y personas con alteraciones neurológicas que impidan su comunicación o psiquiátricas graves. Durante las primeras 48 horas del ingreso del paciente en UCI, se le realizó una encuesta de calidad de vida (CV), con el cuestionario EuroQol (EQ-5D-5L), donde se le preguntó por su CV durante los cuatro meses anteriores a su ingreso en UCI. A los 6 meses del alta, se contactó con los pacientes, vía telefónica, para realizar de nuevo la encuesta de CVRS. Resultados: se incluyeron en el estudio 125 pacientes que cumplían los criterios de inclusión, 27 pacientes fallecieron durante el ingreso en UCI y 12 pacientes EN los 6 meses después del alta. El total de pacientes que completaron el cuestionario a los seis meses fue de 86. Los resultados del cuestionario de salud (EQ-5D-5L) a los seis meses del alta, presentan un aumento de los problemas en las dimensiones de la movilidad del 34,9%, en el auto cuidado el 19,8%, en las actividades cotidianas el 40,7%, en el dolor/malestar el 22,1% y el 26,8 % más de ansiedad/depresión, de la que tenían antes de la enfermedad. Conclusiones: en nuestra investigación hemos observado una disminución de la calidad de vida percibida por los pacientes a los seis meses del alta de UCI.

La menopausia es una etapa en la vida de la mujer, caracterizada por la deficiencia de estrógenos y progestágenos, que puede provocar una serie de síntomas de intensidad variable entre mujeres. Cuando aparecen su calidad de vida puede verse afectada en mayor o menor medida, por lo que resulta de interés identificarlo e intervenir ofreciendo soluciones adecuadas. Existen distintas escalas validadas, aunque en los últimos años la Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) es una de las más utilizadas en investigación de forma global. Teniendo en cuenta la labor asistencial del farmacéutico comunitario, resulta oportuno plantear un proyecto para medir la percepción de la calidad de vida en mujeres de 45 a 64 años antes y después de una intervención estructurada para valorar su impacto en el bienestar general. Se planteó un estudio en farmacias comunitarias que se distribuyeron aleatoriamente en grupo intervención y control. Se ofreció el estudio a mujeres que acudieron a recoger medicación relacionada con esta etapa o solicitaron información o recomendación siempre que firmasen el consentimiento informado y no padeciesen dificultades cognitivas o idiomáticas que no le permitiesen entender el estudio. En la primera visita se realizaron dos cuestionarios que se repitieron en la segunda, a los 3 meses, además de un tercero, solo en esta última, sobre fuentes de información. El grupo intervención recibió en la visita inicial, tras la recogida de datos, educación sanitaria y recomendaciones de productos disponibles en el mercado relacionados con los síntomas característicos.

Introducción: La enfermedad del Chikungunya es una arbovirosis, producida por el virus Alfavirus de la familia Togaviridae, transmitida por la picadura de mosquitos Aedes aegypti o Aedes albopictus. Objetivo: Determinar las características clínicas y la calidad de vida posterior a la infección por el virus de Chikungunya (CHIKV). Materiales y Métodos: estudio observacional, descriptivo, de corte transversal, de pacientes con CHIKV durante el mes de agosto de 2023. Se realizó un cuestionario, se midieron datos sociodemográficos, al diagnóstico de infección por CHIKV, duración de la enfermedad y manifestaciones clínicas.

La edad promedio de la población de estudio fue 36 +/- 13,62 años. El 53,65% fue del sexo femenino. Con respecto al estado de salud, tenían un peor estado de salud las mujeres (M: 68.93% vs H: 55,06%), empeorando con el aumento de la edad. Los síntomas más frecuentes fueron la fiebre y las poliartralgias. Conclusión: Todos los individuos presentan algún tipo de afectación en la calidad de vida, siendo más notorio en los dominios de rol físico, vitalidad y dolor.

En este artículo se presenta un análisis del estado del arte de los programas y acciones que se han puesto en práctica a lo largo de la historia moderna global y en particular en México en materia ambiental con el objetivo común de asegurar la calidad de vida de su población sin poner en riesgo la conservación de la biodiversidad de su territorio. Para alcanzar el desarrollo sostenible en una comunidad se requiere del esfuerzo de la sociedad en conjunto con sus gobernantes, quienes a través de sus cargos implementan medidas eficientes para garantizar que se cumplan los acuerdos firmados en cumbres internacionales que buscan garantizar una comunidad sostenible y capaz de incluir a todos por igual. El lograr tener comunidades resilientes, inclusivas y sostenibles es una ardua tarea que requiere del compromiso por igual de todos los sectores sociales que las conforman, a través de acciones que respeten las medidas propuestas e implementadas que protegen la biodiversidad en su más amplio criterio, con la visión de desarrollo integral guiado por el análisis profundo de beneficios que puedan obtenerse y minimizando los efectos adversos. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar los efectos de la participación conjunta de la sociedad y gobierno, para plantear acciones concretas que permitan cumplir las metas establecidas en el Objetivo del Desarrollo Sostenible No. 11 de la Agenda 2030 y dar un paso adelante en la creación de comunidades que sean incluyentes, resilientes y sostenibles en México.

Introduction: the objective of this study was to assess the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in older adults attending the gerontological centers of Cantón Pedro Moncayo. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted with a convenience sample of 61 older adults from three Gerontological Centers located in the Pedro Moncayo Canton in Ecuador, who signed the informed consent form and met the inclusion criteria. Special assistance was provided to participants aged 87 to 100 years, during the survey by trained personnel. Data were collected through 2 sections: the first with data on age, sex, and prosthesis use, while the second section comprised the OHIP-Sp questionnaire consisting of 49 items with 7 sections. The SPSSv.26 statistical program was used to analyze the data. Results: significant differences in OHRQoL, as measured by OHIP-Sp, were observed across sociodemographic factors. Older adults aged 76 to 85 years, male sex and those without prosthesis had a higher mean score, respectively. Physical disability had the highest score (13.95 ± 3.90), indicating a poorer OHRQoL, while social disability had the lowest score (4.67 ± 2.83), associated with better OHRQoL. Conclusion: according to the results of the OHIP-Sp, it became evident that this group of older adults experienced deficiency in the OHRQoL, with the male sex being the most affected across different dimensions.

Este artículo pretende presentar algunas reflexiones sobre la necesidad urgente de considerar el derecho a la memoria como un derecho a la ciudad en un país como Brasil, donde las medianas y grandes aglomeraciones, además de poner de relieve preocupantes problemas de vulnerabilidad social y ambiental, están más sujetas a las lógicas de un capital inmobiliario cada vez más agresivo. Las exigencias de un mundo marcadamente neoliberal abandonan la idea de la ciudad como bien cultural, guiada por la calidad de vida en el ambiente urbano. Considerando que la construcción de la memoria se apoya en el espacio y en las imágenes espaciales, la calidad de vida es fundamental para fortalecer los sentidos de pertenencia e identidad. En una realidad cada vez más urbana, es necesario defender el derecho a la memoria como derecho a la ciudad, por medio de su patrimonio ambiental urbano, o sea, no solo como derecho a condiciones de vida dignas, sino también como derecho a un entorno urbano de calidad, que se traduzca en paisajes culturales con valores sociales reconocibles.

Rates of childhood cancer survival in developed countries have risen to over 80–85 %. In consequence, the population of childhood cancer survivors (CCS) has grown considerably. Nevertheless, CCS present a high morbidity and mortality due to cancer or its treatment, with an increased risk of premature mortality, second primary tumors and late side effects, both physical and psychosocial, all of which decrease the quality of life. Long-term follow-up (LTFU) of CCS is recommended to prevent, detect and treat those health problems. Despite the advances achieved, the management of CCS is still not optimal. Among the areas for improvement discussed in this manuscript are: (1) Quantifying the real burden of morbimortality, by implementing new frequency measures (mean cumulative count and cumulative burden), to obtain more accurate assessments, and using simulation models, to determine individual risks; (2) Assessing the impact of risk factors for late side effects, related to the patient, tumor type, treatments, lifestyle, comorbidities, genetics and ageing; (3) Considering the impact of the international harmonisation of long-term follow-up guidelines, to generate homogeneous, evidence-based recommendations and an individualized LTFU and, (4) Challenges to LTFU implementation, considering models of care adapted to patient risk and needs, with special attention to the transition to adult-care follow-up. Finally, we comment on the situation of CCS in Spain and consider future prospects for improving the health and quality of life of this population. Resumen: La supervivencia del cáncer infantil supera en la actualidad el 80–85 % en países desarrollados. La población superviviente ha crecido considerablemente, presentando una elevada morbimortalidad secundaria al cáncer o su tratamiento, representada por un riesgo incrementado de mortalidad prematura, segundos tumores y efectos tardíos (ET), en la esfera física y psicosocial, afectando la calidad de vida. El seguimiento a largo plazo y de por vida en supervivientes de cáncer infantil (SCI), está recomendado para prevenir, detectar y tratar sus problemas de salud. A pesar de los avances producidos, el manejo de los SCI no es adecuado. En este artículo se plantean los retos pendientes como: (1) Cuantificar la carga real de morbimortalidad, proponiendo nuevas medidas de frecuencia (recuento acumulado medio y carga acumulada), que ofrecen resultados más exactos de la multimorbilidad que presentan, y la utilización de modelos de simulación, para conocer el riesgo individual de eventos; (2) Impacto de factores que determinan el riesgo de presentar ET relacionados con el paciente, tumor, tratamientos, estilo de vida, comorbilidades, genética y envejecimiento; (3) Importancia de la armonización de las guías de seguimiento a largo plazo a nivel mundial, para ofrecer recomendaciones homogéneas, basadas en la evidencia y un plan individualizado de seguimiento y (4) Problemas en la implementación del seguimiento, con diferentes modelos de atención, adaptados al riesgo y necesidades del paciente, con especial atención a la transición. Finalmente, se comenta la situación actual de los SCI en España y consideramos las perspectivas futuras que contribuyan a mejorar la salud y calidad de vida de esta población.

Además de centrarse en aspectos técnicos y profesionales, la formación debe contribuir al desarrollo de habilidades, intereses, aptitudes y capacidades. Este estudio analítico con diseño documental, evolutivo, transversal y contemporáneo abarcó el periodo 1998 a 2021. Tuvo como objetivos: realizar un análisis de la evolución de los lineamientos de bienestar universitario en Colombia, tomando como referente su marco normativo estructurado bajo el enfoque de capacidades, generando un diferencial respecto a otras investigaciones; y profundizar en el aporte de este enfoque al desarrollo integral de la comunidad beneficiaria, para que las actuaciones en materia de bienestar motiven una renovada implementación, difusión y mejoramiento que trascienda el cumplimiento de requisitos. En los resultados, se encontró que los programas de bienestar deben ser pertinentes a las necesidades de la comunidad académica, orientados hacia el desarrollo humano, el mejoramiento de la calidad de vida y enmarcados en principios de pluralismo, diversidad e inclusión, que favorezcan la autorrealización y ampliación de oportunidades. Se concluye que el desarrollo de capacidades y las dimensiones del ser humano permiten alcanzar funcionamientos valiosos que fortalecen el proyecto de vida, dan sentido y plenitud a este y, por tanto, deben ser un tema central en el factor bienestar.

The importance of inclusion strategies in the knowledge economy to improve the quality of life of vulnerable populations is addressed. It emphasizes the need for a multifaceted approach ranging from education to employment, integrating advanced technologies and coordinated government policies. A qualitative approach was adopted through an exhaustive literature review, selecting academic sources and reports from international organizations to evaluate existing inclusion strategies. The results revealed significant advances in inclusive educational policies and in the implementation of technologies to improve access and personalization of learning. However, important challenges were identified such as the digital divide and lack of resources that limit effective inclusion in key economic sectors. The discussion highlighted the gap between policy formulation and effective implementation. The analysis concluded that, in order to move towards a more inclusive and equitable society, it is essential to strengthen the implementation of inclusive policies and foster collaboration between government, the private sector and civil society. Inclusion not only promotes social justice, but is also key to sustainable development and global economic well-being. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a common, but understudied, chronic inflammatory skin disease in Colombia. This study analyzes the severity of symptoms, sociodemographic factors, and quality of life in 90 patients with HS. Materials and Methods: This is a multicenter, observational, and cross-sectional study conducted in 8 dermatology centers in Colombia. Results: 23.3% of patients were in Hurley stage I, 42.2% in stage II, and 34.4% in stage III. Obesity was the most common comorbidity (38.9%). The average time from the onset of symptoms to diagnosis was 64.6 months, and to the start of treatment was 1.7 months. Regarding quality of life, a statistically significant difference was found in the DLQI with respect to the Hurley severity index (p-value = 0.0056), in the utility index with respect to the Hurley severity index (p-value = 0.011), and in the EQ-5D-5L visual analog scale (EQ-5D-5L-VAS; p-value = 0.001). Conclusions: These findings underscore the need for early diagnosis and treatment for patients with HS in Colombia, and provide a valuable basis for enhancing physicians' understanding of the disease.

The Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) is used to evaluate symptoms and their impact on women's overall well-being. The objective is to identify and offer appropriate solutions to improve the quality of life during this stage. The study was conducted in Spain and Latin America, and a marked deterioration in the quality of life of menopausal women in Latin America was found. The importance of providing comprehensive care in community pharmacies to improve the health and well-being of women in this stage is highlighted. The study seeks to demonstrate the effectiveness of health education and pharmaceutical indication in improving the quality of life of women in this age group. The project is funded by the IX Stada-Sefac Scholarship for an amount of 5,000 euros. [Extracted from the article]

Objective: The treatment with phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors was postulated in heart failure (HF). We conducted a systematic review and a meta-analysis on their beneficial and adverse effects in patients with HF. Method: A meta-analysis of randomized trials evaluating the chronic use of PDE-5 inhibitors in patients with HF was conducted. Endpoints included death, HF hospitalizations, functional capacity, pulmonary pressures, quality of life, and adverse effects. Random-effects models were used to pool outcomes. Categorical data were summarized with relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI), and continuous data with weighted mean differences and standardized mean differences. Results: Sixteen studies (1119 participants) were included. No effect was observed on mortality (RR: 1.16; 95%CI: 0.50-2.66; I2: 0.0%) or HF hospitalizations (RR: 0.75; 95%CI: 0.41-1.37; I2: 38.7%). Treatment significantly reduced pulmonary systolic pressure (-10.64 mmHg; 95%CI: -5.14 to -16.15 mmHg; I2: 96.0%), and increased peak oxygen consumption (2.06 ml/kg/min; 95%CI: 0.40-3.72; I2: 89.6%), although with high inconsistency. There were no significant effects on quality of life (-0.15; 95%CI: -0.48-0.18; I2: 0.0%). On the other hand, the risk of headaches was increased (RR: 1.63; 95%CI: 1.11-2.39; I2: 0.0%). Publication bias was identified for HF hospitalizations. Conclusions: Current data suggest that PDE-5 inhibitors therapy does not improve prognosis or quality of life among HF patients. Hemodynamic and functional effects could be relevant, and more studies are necessary to define its role. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
