The purpose of the study was to describe the modality of the research hotbed as extracurricular work in university education. From June to September 2021, the research hotbed project "Formando y Formando" was carried out for teachers and students of the Universidad Nacional "San Luis Gonzaga", Ica, Peru. The academic areas that participated were: Pharmacy and Biochemistry, Environmental and Sanitary Engineering, as well as Dentistry where the students corresponded to the academic cycles of 1st, 6th and 8th. Three levels of training instructions were considered: 1st) identification of what to do, 2nd) execution of what to do and 3rd), communication of what to do. The research seedbed (SI) was carried out from the extracurricular work in university education (TEFU) through a development model that consisted of five instructions: title, introduction, objectives, measurement and proposed imp...

The aim of the study was to describe the intellectual function of working memory capacity (WMC) in university students from a case study. The study was conducted from June to July 2022 and in a random probabilistic way, six research seed students belonging to the National University "San Luis Gonzaga" (Ica, Peru) were selected. The WMC analysis was done through two types of didactic games (DG) with different degrees of complexity: 1st) the Divinance of colored cubes and 2nd) the marking and recognition of three sea shells between a total number of 100 shells. Each DG was replicated twice the first for stimulation of mental concentration in the face of the WMC analysis. The DG was replicated twice and in the case of the second, the immediate time (s) of recognition was measured where the comparison of the medians was, through the U-Whitney test. It was observed that the time of each repli...

Introduction: Non-responsible self-medication leads to low effectiveness and insecurity in treatments, damage of health and patient dissatisfaction. Objective: To identify factors associated with non-responsible self-medication in the Peruvian population. Material and Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted based on the secondary analysis of the National Survey of Users Satisfaction in Health performed in Peru in 2016. It included 3849 users of pharmaceutical establishments. Chi-square statistic with p-value, crude odds ratio (cOR) and adjusted odds ratio (aOR) with its 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated. Results: When the dispenser of the medicine did not request the prescription from the user, the risk of non-responsible self-medication was very high (aOR=29.057). Additionally, going to the pharmaceutical establishment to ask for advice (aOR=1.884), eve...
