Factores asociados a la diabetes mellitus tipo dos en adultos mayores pertenecientes al GAD parroquial de Sayausí durante el periodo abril-julio 2025
(Instituto Superior Tecnológico Particular Sudamericano, 2025) Amay Nugra Valeria Salome; Lazo Gutama Ana Belén
The risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus are diverse, but they can be drastically reduced by changing habits. The objective was to identify the factors associated
with type 2 diabetes mellitus in older adults belonging to the Sayausi parish GAD during the period April-July 2025. The methodology was quantitative, field-based, descriptive, and cross-sectional. The results of the study showed that women visit the Sayausi parish GAD more frequently, with a higher prevalence in people between 65 and 75 years of age, followed by those between 76 and 85 years of age. Almost the entire population surveyed lived in rural areas of the community, mainly with incomes below the minimum wage. The highest level of education was primary school, followed by no education. On the other hand, a large number of participants were unaware that DM2 can be prevented, however, they said they knew that a balanced diet and exercise reduce their risk. With regard to tobacco, overweight, and obesity as risk factors, just over half knew this. A large number of respondents indicated that they did not maintain a healthy lifestyle, but they reported exercising and consuming foods low in carbohydrates and sugars. In conclusion, the participants' lack of knowledge may be due to the low importance they place on their health and quality of life or to misinformation from the relevant authorities.

Type II diabetes mellitus is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases among older adults, leading to multiple microvascular and macrovascular complications that affect their quality of life. In this context, the present study was conducted with the aim of identifying the main chronic complications associated with this condition in older adults participating in the “Mis Años Dorados” program, promoted by the Sayausí GAD, during the period from April to July 2025. A quantitative approach was used, with a descriptive cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 60 older adults diagnosed with type II diabetes mellitus, to whom a structured survey validated by expert judgment was applied. The results showed a high prevalence of complications such as peripheral neuropathy, diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, and cardiovascular diseases, the latter being the most reported. A significant relationship was also observed between the duration of the disease, poor glycemic control, and the onset of complications. The research also included an educational intervention aimed at improving self-care habits, glycemic control, and regular attendance to medical check-ups. It is concluded that comprehensive management and continuous education are key factors in preventing or delaying the onset of chronic complications. In addition, it is recommended to strengthen institutional support for older adults through community programs, early detection campaigns, and nutritional follow-up. This proposal highlights the need to develop local health policies that promote healthy aging and timely care of non-communicable chronic diseases, with a preventive and humanized approach.

Impacto de las redes sociales y medios digitales en la educación sexual de los adolescentes de 12 a 17 años en el colegio Alicia Loza Meneses de la ciudad de Cuenca-Ecuador en el año lectivo 2024-2025
(Instituto Superior Tecnológico Particular Sudamericano, 2025) Saeteros González Alexandra Tatiana; Fernández Rivas Oscar Eduardo
This research project addressed the impact of digital media and social networks on the sexual education of adolescents aged 12 to 17 at Alicia Loza Meneses School in Cuenca, Ecuador. The identified problem centered on the growing exposure of young people to sexuality-related content on platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, without proper guidance or formal education to help them correctly interpret such information. The main objective was to assess how these platforms influenced students’ knowledge and opinions regarding consent, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), contraceptive methods, and emotional relationships. A quantitative research approach was used, employing structured surveys administered to 120 students, followed by statistical analysis. The novelty of this study lies in its exploration of how the digital environment, in which adolescents are deeply immersed, can replace or distort formal sexual education content. Key findings revealed that most participants accessed sexual content on social networks from an early age, with many showing confusion or misinformation regarding fundamental topics related to their sexual and emotional health. The results highlighted the importance of strengthening sexual education within schools, using an updated approach that incorporates new forms of informal learning. The study concluded that while
digital media can serve as a source of information, its use without pedagogical guidance poses a risk, leading to the recommendation of implementing educational strategies adapted to this reality.

The problem addressed stems from the rise of non-communicable chronic diseases among educational staff, associated with inadequate nutrition, sedentary lifestyles, and occupational stress. This not only affects their well-being but also their performance and role as educators within the school environment. The study employed a mixed-method approach, applying anthropometric measurements and structured surveys on eating habits to a purposive sample of 60 workers. The goal was to identify health risks and provide a basis for nutritional interventions. Key findings indicate that a Significant portion of the staff, particularly women, are overweight or obese. While some positive habits were identified such as regular consumption of fruits and vegetables there was also a low frequency of healthy food preparation and poor caloric intake control, especially when eating outside the home. The results highlight the need to implement institutional strategies to promote nutritional health. It is concluded that improving the eating habits of educational staff it benefits as their individual health as strengthens the school environment and fosters a culture of comprehensive well-being. This study offers a clear view of the nutritional status of the staff and can serve as a reference for programs by the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, and future research focused on strengthening occupational health in educational settings.
