Attitude towards Older People According to Sociodemographic and Educational Variables in Students of a Chilean University2022-12 ;Yanez-Yanez, Rodrigo ;Antonia Parra-Rizo, Maria; ;Valdes-Valdes, Nathalie ;Rojas, Gabriel A. ;Gamin, Leslith ;Lorca, Paulina ;Acevedo-Carrizo, Francisca ;Zapata-Lamana, RafaelDiaz-Vargas, CaterinCurrent evidence suggests that attitude towards older people may be associated with sociodemographic and educational variables; hence, a positive attitude towards older people is key when training new university professionals. However, there is little evidence of this association in Chilean university students. The objective was to analyze students from a Chilean university's attitudes towards older people, according to sociodemographic and educational variables. Analytical and cross-sectional study; 515 students from a Chilean university were consulted online about their attitude towards older people using Kogan's Attitudes towards Old People scale. Additionally, sociodemographic and educational variables were recorded. The average score for positive attitude was 70.8 (+/- 9.7), while the negative attitude score was 68.3 (+/- 11.6). The total score was 139.1 (+/- 16.6). Mostly, university students perceive themselves with a low-level positive attitude (61.2%). Additionally, older university students (26-42 years old); women; Chileans; students of law, speech therapy, and occupational therapy; students in their final years of the programs; and those who had training in older people outside the university have a more positive attitude towards older people. In Conclusion, a profile of sociodemographic and educational characteristics of students with a lower and higher attitude towards older age was investigated. These results are relevant since the way of seeing the aging process could regulate the training of future professionals and consequently generate changes in dealing with older people. Young people's perception of ageing would affect the treatment and incorporation of the older people in society and the adaptation of policies in this age group.Scopus© Citations 8 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Calidad de vida relacionada a la salud de las personas con esclerosis múltiple en la Región de Magallanes, Chile2020-01-31 ;Héctor Felipe Retamal-Matus ;Ramiro Fernández-Calderón; ;Carolina Martínez-AlarcónGastón Montaña-YañezIntroducción: La esclerosis múltiple (EM) es una enfermedad autoinmune, crónica, inflamatoria
 y desmielinizante que afecta al sistema nervioso central (SNC) y la calidad de vida de las personas afectadas. Este último aspecto tiene especial relevancia por su impacto, ya que afecta a individuos jóvenes en etapa productiva. Objetivo: Describir las características demográficas y calidad de vida relacionada a la salud de personas con diagnóstico de EM de la región de Magallanes y Antártica Chilena. Materiales y métodos: Mediante un estudio descriptivo de pacientes con diagnóstico de EM, se registraron los antecedentes demográficos y se evaluó la Calidad de Vida Relacionada a la Salud (CVRS) con el cuestionario de salud SF-36 v.2. 
 Resultados: Se evaluaron 40 pacientes entre 21 y 65 años de edad (57,5% mujeres) con una evolución de EM de 7,59 ± 7,38 años. En la SF-36 v.2, los menores puntajes promedios fueron en las dimensiones Vitalidad (53,75 puntos) y Salud General (61,00 puntos), y los mayores fueron en las dimensiones Función Social (72,50 puntos) y Función Física (71,63 puntos). No hubo diferencias en la calidad de vida de las personas según el sexo. Conclusión: La EM deteriora de manera gradual y diversa diferentes funciones neurológicas; esto determina una disminución de la calidad de vida, principalmente en las dimensiones de Vitalidad y Concepción General del estado de salud. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

A Multicenter Study Evaluating the Stages of Change in Food Consumption with Warning Labels among Chilean University Students2020-1-16 ;Duran Aguero, Samuel ;Araneda, Jacqueline ;Ahumada, Danay ;Silva Rojas, Jaime ;Buhring Bonacich, Rodrigo ;Caichac, Astrid ;Fernandez Salamanca, Marcelo ;Villarroel, Pia ;Fernandez, EloinaPacheco, VivianaObjective. To analyze the stage of change in food consumption with warning labels among Chilean university students. Materials and Methods. Cross-sectional study which applied surveys in universities from all over the country. Study included 4807 participants of 18 to 40 years of both sexes who were asked about the level of knowledge of the new food law and food consumption with warning signals, including questions regarding their willingness to behavior change according to Prochaska's transtheoretical model. To compare continuous variables, Student's t-test was used in the statistical package SPSS 22.0, and p Results. Of the total number of respondents, 99.3% of the students indicated that they know about the food law, classifying foods with signals in the precontemplation stage. Compared by sex, we observed that women give greater importance to behavior change in all of foods (p <0.001). Underweight students give less importance to change in unhealthy foods, while obesity students give more importance but do not show more confidence in behavior change (p <0.05). Conclusion. The university students show a low importance and confidence to make behavior change, aspects associated with sex and nutritional status. It is necessary to strengthen nutritional food education and not just talk about structural measures.Scopus© Citations 6 3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

En la actualidad no existe una revisión que sintetice la información sobre características y usabilidad de geolocalizadores en personas mayores. Objetivo: Sintetizar la evidencia existente sobre las características y usabilidad de dispositivos de geolocalización en personas mayores. Metodología: Se realizó la búsqueda de artículos científicos en las bases de datos: Medline vía PubMed, Lilacs y Google Scholar que cumplieran con los criterios de elegibilidad, entre el 1 de agosto de 2018 hasta el 30 de noviembre de 2020, y se seleccionó 11 documentos. Para la identificación de artículos se utilizó las palabras clave "Geolocalizador", "elderly", "aged" y "older adults". Resultados: La edad promedio de las personas participantes fue de 60,5, predominaron los estudios en género femenino, la población residía en su mayoría (63 %) en la comunidad y el 36,6 % padecía algún trastorno cognitivo. En cuanto a las características de los geolocalizadores, el 72 % de los dispositivos tiene un alcance de radio urbano y el 54 % tiene un costo bajo o gratuito en su implementación o ejecución. Conclusión: Esta revisión caracterizó los dispositivos de geolocalización y su uso en personas mayores en cuanto a su radio de alcance, costo, objetivos de intervención y población objetivo. Estos resultados podrían ser útiles para futuras investigaciones en el área de la gerontolocalización.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Efectos de un programa de telerehabilitación sobre la funcionalidad en personas mayores2022-4-8; ;Rubén Loncon ;Valeria Elizama ;Nelson Mc Ardle-DraguicevicIgor CigarroaObjective: To determine the effects of a telerehabilitation (TR) program on the level of functional independence and the number of falls in older people attending a day care center. Materials and method: 14 older people (x̄ = 74 years), submitted to a kinesitherapy / physiotherapy / physical therapy (PT) program through telerehabilitation for a period of 12 weeks. The control group received educational intervention through a physical activity booklet which they had to develop independently, with weekly telephone supervision, while the experimental group received 15 kinesitherapy / physiotherapy / physical therapy sessions via video calls through WhatsAppTM application. Both groups were evaluated pre and post intervention with the Barthel index scale (BI) and the number of falls using the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). Results: The experimental group increased the Barthel index scale score (↑3,6) while the control group decreased this score (↓6,9). Both groups decreased the number of falls, without differences between groups. When comparing both groups, the elderly who underwent a kinesitherapy / physiotherapy / physical therapy program through telerehabilitation showed significantly greater improvements in Barthel index scale than the control group (p <0.05). Conclusion: Older people who participated in a kinesitherapy / physiotherapy / physical therapy program through telerehabilitation presented a higher level of functional independence compared to participants in the intervention with a phone call-guided physical activity booklet, which suggests a telerehabilitation programs as an alternative therapeutics to improve the level of independence in older people.
