- ItemCapacitación sobre primeros auxilios básicos al personal que labora en el Centro Geriátrico Hogar Miguel de León, periodo abril-junio 2024(Instituto Superior Tecnológico Particular Sudamericano, 2024) Matute Cuzco Yoderth Santiago; Guamán Chinchilima Erika MicaelaCaregivers' abilities have improved significantly because of receiving first aid training. Along with the skills they need, this training gives them the assurance and self assurance to respond correctly in an emergency. The ability to respond effectively to emergencies is crucial in an environment where resident vulnerability is high, such as in a nursing home. Investment in continuing education is essential to ensure a safe, high-quality care environment for residents. By being better prepared, caregivers can more effectively handle situations such as falls, suffocation, heart attacks, and other medical emergencies. This knowledge not only protects residents, but also improves the peace of mind of their families, who trust that their loved ones are in capable hands. In the first survey, the majority of results had 68% to 71% correct answers in each question, that is, between questions there were 32% to 29% incorrect answers, taking into account that the topic discussed is about basic first aid, having 30% that represents 11 people who work in the geriatric center and lack a clear understanding of what to do in an emergency. When we saw the results, we realized that it was possible to fill gaps in basic first aid among workers who previously did not have in mind how to act in emergency situations. We obtained that 99% 100% of the questions were answered correctly, the questions that in the first survey gave us 69% certainty, now in the second test after the training it gives us results of 99% to 100%, making the training provided effective.
- ItemNivel de conocimientos generales sobre protocolos de bioseguridad en el personal de salud de la Fundación Hogar del Ecuador durante el periodo mayo-julio de 2024(Instituto Superior Tecnológico Particular Sudamericano, 2024) Reyes Reyes Jhon StevenUsing a quantitative approach and a structured evaluation, 30 professionals from various areas were surveyed. The analysis indicated that the professionals at the medical center have a high level of knowledge of biosafety protocols, although some failures were found in the correct sequence of hand washing. This finding underscores the need for specific training in basic but fundamental practices. The evaluation showed that knowledge levels vary depending on work area, medical specialty, and work experience, indicating that training and experience are essential to master biosafety protocols. These results underscore the need for ongoing training and targeted educational programs to ensure that all staff are up to date with the latest best practices and protocols in biosafety. To address the identified gaps, it is recommended to implement a series of practical trainings and workshops, not only on standard procedures, but also on the principles and objectives of biosafety and the risks associated with non-compliance. In addition, it is suggested to create discussion and learning spaces where staff can share experiences, resolve doubts and stay updated on developments in biosafety. These measures would improve the safe field, reducing the risk of hospital infections and other related problems. The introduction of accessible educational materials adapted to the level of professionalization of each staff member, as well as the regular evaluation of competencies, would contribute to maintaining high biosafety standards in the institution. Finally, the study suggests that promoting a culture of safety and prevention through continuing education and active participation in workshops and training is essential to consolidate a safe and efficient clinical practice.
- ItemNivel de conocimiento acerca del síndrome de Burnout en relación a docentes a tiempo completo del Instituto Superior Tecnológico Particular Sudamericano en la ciudad de Cuenca, periodo abril-junio 2024(Instituto Superior Tecnológico Particular Sudamericano, 2024) Rosales Tenecota Victoria Emilia; Viñansaca Merchán Karla GabrielaBurnout syndrome is an issue with a high level of importance within the educational field because it significantly affects the performance of teachers and their health status. This project aims to investigate the knowledge, prevalence and strategies that teachers present about this syndrome within the Instituto Superior Tecnológico Particular Sudamericano. To this end, a correlational and analytical investigation was carried out, using a sample of 31 teachers who, after obtaining their informed consent, were given the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) questionnaire. The data obtained demonstrated the absence of Burnout Syndrome within the South American Institute, however, the dimension with the highest percentage was depersonalization, being the main focus for subsequent training. In addition, relevant differences were identified based on sociodemographic factors, such as age, gender. and the years of work service within the Institute as a teacher. These data highlight the need to develop approaches for the management and prevention of stress within the work as educators, such as playing sports, carrying out recreational activities with students and policies at the institutional level that promote a healthy environment, which were expressed by the same teachers in the training that was carried out “Healthy Classrooms: Well-being and Burnout Prevention”. This seeks the well-being of teachers and, consequently, the educational level offered to students.

- ItemFactores 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 BelénThe 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.
