    Knowledge and attitudes about sexually transmitted infections in Peruvian women’s
    Introduction: Sexually transmitted infections are a very present problem in society, mainly due to sexually risky behavior in young people and adolescents and a certain section of the population. These infections are transmitted through sexual intercourse of any kind, but mainly due to a lack of knowledge of the population, which is why the objective of this research is to describe the relationship between knowledge and current attitudes about sexually transmitted infections in women in Peru. Methodology: A bibliographic review was carried out using the articles retrieved from the PubMed, MEDLINE, and Scielo databases, in the period between July and August 2024. External articles were added to the time frame due to their importance for the writing of this article, without the research presenting an update percentage of less than 90%. A total of 30 references were selected, which specifically fit the topic in question, excluding those with possible biases in their methods. Development: Knowledge includes information about sexually transmitted infections, including their symptoms, types, and prevention measures. It is obtained through teaching, campaigns and specific programs on STIs, which include various pathologies of infectious etiology where sexual transmission is epidemiologically relevant. Conclusions: Sexually transmitted infections are entities that coexist with the daily life of the general population, an element that does not exclude Latin America and much less Peru. Adequate knowledge about the management of these infections by the female community, both students and gynecological-obstetric patients and health personnel, represents a vital need to avoid the risk of infection by pathologies of this nature

    Introducción: Para el adecuado control de la hipertensión arterial es necesario que los pacientes se adhieran a las recomendaciones sobre el cumplimiento del tratamiento antihipertensivo y la modificación de sus estilos de vida. Objetivo: Determinar la asociación entre el estilo de vida y la adherencia al tratamiento en pacientes hipertensos. Metodología: Estudio analítico transversal, conformado por 250 pacientes hipertensos, 150 pertenecientes al Centro de Salud La Era-Lima, Perú y 100 al Programa de “Salud Cardiovascular” de San Miguel-Arica, Chile, elegidos mediante muestreo no probabilístico y por conveniencia. Para la recolección de datos se empleó el cuestionario de Perfil de Estilo de Vida (PEPS-I) y la escala de Morisky-Green previamente validados. Para el análisis multivariado se utilizó la regresión de varianza robusta de Poisson. Resultados: El 58,8% de los pacientes hipertensos practicaron un inadecuado estilo de vida y el 58,4% no fueron adherentes al tratamiento. Al análisis multivariado, una adecuada práctica de los estilos de vida en las dimensiones: nutrición (RPa=1,56; IC 95%=1,14-2,14), relaciones interpersonales (RPa=1,58; IC 95%=1,05-2,36) y responsabilidad en salud (RPa=1,54; IC 95%=1,02-2,30) se asocian a la adherencia al tratamiento antihipertensivo. Conclusiones: Tener una nutrición, relaciones interpersonales y responsabilidad con la salud adecuadas se asocian a la adherencia al tratamiento antihipertensivo.

    The study was conducted to stablish the association between knowledge of preventive measures and concern about COVID-19 infection and lifestyle changes in the Peruvian population during the health emergency. This was an analytical and cross-sectional study, with a voluntary non-probabilistic sample of 1101 Peruvian population over 18 years old, who answered the digital questionnaire between June and July 2021. The questionnaires 'Knowledge about preventive measures on COVID-19', PRE-COVID-19 and 'changes in lifestyles during the pandemic', instruments validated in the Peruvian population, were used. To determine the association of the variables, chi-square test and binary logistic regression were used, considering changes in lifestyles as the dependent variable. A p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. The descriptive analysis showed that 50.8% were not worried about COVID-19 infection, 72.2% knew about preventive measures and 56.4% stated that they had changed their lifestyles during the pandemic. A connection was found between educational level (p=0.000), having a job (p=0.048) and being worried about COVID-19 infection (p=0.001) with changes in lifestyle. In the regression analysis, technical/higher education (95% CI=1.51-2.67) and being worried about COVID-19 infection (95% CI=1.71-1.91) were associated with lifestyle changes during the pandemic. The greater the degree of education and concern or fear of COVID-19 infection, the greater the lifestyle changes. Funding Information: This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors. Conflict of Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest. Ethical Approval: The present study was approved by the ethics committee of the Universidad Peruana Unión. Informed consent was granted by all participants; this part was the first option to start the digital survey.

    Concern About Returning to Face-to-Face Classes After the Pandemic: Importance of Emotional Intelligence and Stress Coping Strategies in Health Science Students
    Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a new normality, a scenario where different circumstances trigger emotions such as concern about returning to face-to-face classes, to which higher education students adapt. The objective was to identify how emotional intelligence and coping with stress explain students' concern about returning to face-to-face classes post COVID-19. Methods: This was an explanatory and cross-sectional study. The sample by intention was 588 students from the Faculty of Health Sciences. The Rotterdam Emotional Intelligence Scale (REIS), the Stress Coping Questionnaire (CAE), and the ACAD-COVID-19 scale were used. For data collection, the instruments were digitized. Bivariate analysis with Chi-square and multivariate logistic regression was performed. Results: The mean age of the participants was 19.72 years; most were single and without children (96.9% and 96.8%, respectively). 74.3% did not work, 80.8% were from the first years of study, and 52.7% belonged to nursing school. About 94.2% of participants indicated having adequate emotional intelligence, 91.3% expressed coping with adequate stress, and 67.2% indicated serious concern about returning to face-to-face classes. An association was found between gender (p=0.042), age (p=0.002), year of study (p=0.027), emotional intelligence (p=0.001), and coping with stress (p=0.001) with concern for return to face-to-face classes. Emotional intelligence identified as adequate (OR: 2.580; IC95%: 1.117-5.960) and coping with stress identified as adequate (OR: 2.008; IC95%: 1.018-3.960) are more likely to express serious concern about the return to face-to-face classes after the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: According to the results, the need to safeguard the psychological aspects of students is highlighted, especially emotional intelligence, as well as to improve coping with stress so that they can better manage concerns about returning to face-to-face classes. The educational authorities should implement strategies to improve these aspects in order to ensure the adequate return to face-to-face classes in new scenarios.

    Association Between Perceived Access to Healthcare and the Perception of Illness Among Peruvian Adults with Chronic Diseases During COVID-19 Pandemic
    The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected the provision of care for patients with chronic diseases. Due to social restrictions and reductions in contact with health services, the negative perception of chronic disease is expected to have increased. The aim of this study was to determine the association between perceived access to healthcare and the perception of illness among Peruvian population with chronic disease. It was a cross-sectional analytical study, with a sample of 987 inhabitants to whom the questionnaires "Coverage of health services" and "The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire" (BIPQ) were applied. Having health insurance (PRa = 0.683; 95% CI = 0.613-0.761) acts as a protective factor for a positive illness perception of chronic disease, however, a waiting time greater than 3 months to obtain a medical appointment (PRa = 1.417; 95% CI = 1.319-1.522) and poor access to health services (PRa = 1.435; 95% CI = 1.226-1.681) resulted in the probability of a negative illness perception of chronic disease. Thus, there is an association between perceived poor access to healthcare and the negative illness perception of chronic disease in Peruvian population during pandemic COVID-19.

    The study was conducted to establish the association between knowledge of preventive measures and concern about SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) infection and lifestyle changes in the Peruvian population during the health emergency. This was an analytical and cross-sectional study, with a voluntary non-probabilistic sample of 1101 Peruvian population over 18 years old, from the three regions of the country (Coast, Highlands, and Jungle) who answered the digital questionnaires between June and July 2021. The questionnaires "Knowledge about preventive measures on COVID-19″, PRE-COVID-19, and "Changes in lifestyles during the pandemic," instruments validated in the Peruvian population, were used to determine the association of the variables, the Chi-square test and binary logistic regression were used, considering changes in lifestyles as the dependent variable. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Of the participants, 57.4% were women, 42.6% were men, with an average age of 30.9 years (SD = 13.14). The descriptive analysis showed that 50.8% of the participants were not worried about SARS-CoV-2 infection, 72.2% knew about preventive measures, and 56.4% stated that they had changed their lifestyles during the pandemic. A significant association was found between educational level (p = 0.000), having a job (p = 0.048), and being worried about SARS-CoV-2 infection (p = 0.001) with lifestyle changes. In the regression analysis, technical/higher education (95% CI = 1.51-2.67) and being worried about SARS-CoV-2 infection (95% CI = 1.71-1.91) were associated with lifestyle changes during the pandemic. The greater the degree of education and concern or fear of SARS-CoV-2 infection, the greater the lifestyle changes.

    (Universidad de Santander, 2025-01-01)
    Universidad Peruana Unión, Lima, Peru
    ;
    Introduction: Nursing home visits play a key role in healthcare by providing personalized care at home. However, their impact on the population's perception of health status remains not yet fully understood. Objective: To determine the relationship between the quality of nursing home visits and the perception of health status in the Peruvian population. Materials and Methods: An analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted with 482 people. The "Home Visits" and "SF-36" questionnaires were used to collect data. The analysis was carried out using binary logistic regression. Results: A total of 91.49% of participants reported an adequate perception of their health status, and 90.88% rated the quality of home visits as good. Bivariate analysis revealed significant differences according to age (p=0.005), having children (p=0.001), and the quality of home visits (p=0.001). In the multivariate analysis, having children (OR: 4.96; 95% CI: 1.38-17.74) and receiving good-quality home visits (OR: 20.79; 95% CI: 9.12-47.42) were associated with a more favorable perception of health status. Discussion: These findings suggest that higher-quality home visits are associated with a more favorable perception of health status, aligning with previous studies on the importance of home care. Conclusion: Strengthening the quality of home visits could improve the population's perception of health.
