Mr. Editor. It is expected that the vast majority of published articles deepen the importance of quality of care by health personnel in the gynecological environment through the innovation of new techniques, care and management to follow. In this way the gynecological practice is enriched to establish a safe environment in patient care.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, university students have adopted measures that completely transformed their educational environment, and this has generated an increase in psychological stress. The present study aimed to identify the factors associated with anxiety, depression, and stress in students at a university in Peru during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. We conducted a cross-sectional analytical study in students in Lima, Peru. The DASS-21 scale was used to measure levels of depression, anxiety, and stress and associate it with socio-educational and COVID-19-related variables using generalized linear models with Poisson distribution, log link, and robust variance. Of 400 students surveyed, 19.2%, 23.2% and 17.2% of students presented depression, anxiety, and stress, respectively. The frequency of depression (PR = 0.91, 95%CI: 0.84-0.99), anxiety (PR = 0.90, 95%CI: 0.83-0.99) and stre...

“Introducción: La familia representa el entorno más cercano al paciente y por ello, la funcionalidad familiar es el soporte más importante, pues con ello el paciente logra una óptima adherencia al tratamiento de enfermedades crónicas, entre ellas, la diabetes. Objetivo: Determinar la frecuencia y asociación entre la funcionalidad familiar y la adherencia al tratamiento de la diabetes en pacientes atendidos en el programa de pacientes crónicos en un establecimiento de salud de atención primaria de Lima. Métodos: Estudio transversal realizado en 2020. Se recopiló información sobre la adherencia al tratamiento y la funcionalidad familiar de los pacientes. Se midieron variables sociodemográficas y variables relacionadas a la diabetes. Se realizó un análisis de regresión simple y múltiple para estimar la asociación entre la adherencia al tratamiento y la funcionalidad famil...

“: During medical training, students are exposed to stressors that deteriorate mental health. This study determined depression and anxiety prevalence and their associated factors in students from four medical schools in northern Peru. A cross-sectional study was conducted among medical students from Lambayeque, Peru. The Goldberg Anxiety and Zung Depression tests were applied. The dependent variables were depression and anxiety, and their association with covariates (age, sex, type of university, socioeconomic level, experience, family problem, and physical activity) was evaluated. Prevalence ratios were calculated using generalized linear models. Of 482 students, the prevalence of anxiety was 61.8% and depression was 22.0%. A severe level of anxiety was observed in 6.2% in the group between 16 and 20 years old. It was observed that private university students had higher frequencies of...

“Introducción: La funcionalidad familiar influye en el proceso salud-enfermedad, es por ello que se destaca su importancia en el primer nivel de atención. No existe evidencia concluyente sobre los factores que influyen en la disfunción familiar en pacientes atendidos en el primer nivel de atención. Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia y factores asociados a disfunción familiar en pacientes atendidos en el primer nivel de atención. Métodos: Estudio transversal de análisis secundario de datos en pacientes atendidos en 7 establecimientos del primer nivel de atención de Lima, Perú, en 2019. Se utilizó el cuestionario Apgar Familiar y se indagó su asociación con factores demográficos-socioeconómicos. Se estimaron razones de prevalencia (RP) a través de modelos de regresión simple y múltiple. Resultados: De 150 pacientes, la mayoría fueron mujeres (81,3 %) y la mediana de e...
