“…Various statistical reports have illustrated that in this region, there has been disproportionately higher mortality among men than women due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 45,46 This fact could be rooted in multiple factors, including gender disparities in access to healthcare, differences in health behaviors, or even biological variations between men and women in response to the virus. 47,48 It is possible that this higher risk scenario for men is reflected in the population of male nurses, leading to an increase in concern levels regarding the possibility of contracting the disease.…”

Objective: To determine the association between sociodemographic factors, stress, depression and anxiety, emotional eating, and concern about COVID-19 contagion in first and second-line Peruvian nurses. Methodology: The study was cross-sectional and conducted with 500 Peruvian nurses of both sexes, over 18 years of age. Validated questionnaires were used to measure sociodemographic aspects, concern about COVID-19, generalized anxiety, depression, self-perceived stress, and emotional eating. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to analyze the factors affecting concern about COVID-19 contagion. Results: The multiple linear regression analysis showed that stress, being between the ages of 18 and 29 years, being male, being from the coastal region or the jungle region, having a bachelor’s degree, severe anxiety, and severe depression were associated with higher concern about COVID-19. On the other hand, having more than 5 to 10 years of experience and more than 10 years of experience, low emotional eating, and non-emotional eating were negatively associated with concern. This model explained 44.05% of the variability among the participating nurses. Conclusion: These findings provide resources for future research on the comprehensive well-being of nursing staff by exploring various sociodemographic aspects and mental conditions associated with greater concern about COVID-19. Meanwhile, years of experience and emotional eating behavior were associated with lower concern about COVID-19. Future studies could incorporate this information to preserve the mental and physical health of nurses in the face of potential occupational threats.

“…In Spain, for example, there have been more cases of COVID-19 in women than in men (10); however, there is a lower percentage of lethality in women (11). In Latin American countries such as Argentina, Mexico, Colombia and Peru, the highest number of confirmed cases corresponds to males (12,13,14,15).…”

Objective: to describe the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of adult women with COVID-19 diagnosis in an EsSalud Cajamarca Hospital during 2020 -2021. Method: the methodology is descriptive, retrospective, observational and cross-sectional. The population consisted of adult women, and the sample consisted of 216 women. A data collection form was applied to the NOTI COVID registry and the clinical history was used. Results: Of the 216 confirmed cases, 67.6% of the cases were women between 30 and 49 years of age. Ninetyseven percent were from the department of Cajamarca. Of these, 11.2% were pregnant women, 58.3% of whom were in the third trimester of pregnancy. More than half (81.1%) had a positive serologic test result, and 50.9% were IgG. Of the COVID-19 women, 41.7% had contact with a positive case and only 0.9% had contact with a suspected COVID-19 case. The most frequent comorbidities were arterial hypertension (21.2%), diabetes (15.4%) and obesity (13.5%). The degree of severity was mostly mild (57.9%), they presented general malaise (14.3%), and cough (13.3%). 63.5% presented interstitial ground-glass pattern and 34.9% presented hypertransaminasemia and 27.9% lymphopenia. Conclusions: adult women with a COVID-19 diagnosis had comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes and obesity.

“…Al separarlo por género se identifica un puntaje medio (±DS) de 72 (±16) puntos para el género femenino y de 69 (±16) para el género masculino. Estos resultados concuerdan con otros de la región realizados en Colombia por Cortés, García-Ubaque y Becerra (2020) donde exponen el comportamiento por sexo y género de la pandemia de COVID-19 en Colombia Cortés et al (2020). expone que los casos confirmados son similares entre ambos sexos sin embargo la mortalidad en hombres es casi el doble que la mortalidad en mujeres (62,0% vs 38,0%).…”

Introducción: La pandemia del COVID-19 ha tenido gran impacto en el mundo, y la sociedad guatemalteca no ha sido la excepción. En el departamento de Guatemala se concentra la mayor cantidad de casos acumulados de COVID-19 del país, concentrando el 47,0% de casos totales y el 44,0% de muertes hasta julio del 2021. Los Campamentos Centros de Bienestar Respiratorio (CCBR) pertenecen al eje de Mitigación del Plan Santiago, establecido por la Alcaldía Municipal de la Ciudad de Guatemala en coordinación con el Ministerio de Salud Pública y Asistencia Social (MSPAS). Los CCBR buscan implementar de una solución gratuita de Atención Primaria para pacientes con enfermedades respiratorias leves o sospechosos con COVID-19 que permita acercar estos servicios a los vecinos invitándolos a consultar de forma oportuna. Objetivo: Realizar una evaluación económica en salud de costo-utilidad para determinar el costo por años de vida ajustados a calidad (QALY) desde la perspectiva del paciente que consulta a los CCBR, Ciudad de Guatemala 2021. Metodología: Evaluación económica en salud tipo costo-utilidad, transversal, descriptivo, desde la perspectiva del paciente que acudió a los CCBR comparando costos directos (medicamentos, honorarios médicos y transporte) e indirectos (tiempo y dinero descontado del paciente y del acompañante) con los del sector privado. Muestra no probabilística de 188 pacientes. Se recolecta información sociodemográfica, clínica, y de costos. Par calcular los QALY se utiliza instrumento EQ-5D-3L y escala visual análoga (VAS) y para la conversión de los estados de salud al índice se usa el índice de constante de Argentina. Los datos fueron tabulados en Microsoft Excel. La información de costos en Quetzales (Q.) se presenta en cifras en dólares americanos (USD) fijado con la tasa de cambio al 25 de febrero del 2021 de Q. 7,56 por 1 USD. Resultados: La razón costo-utilidad incremental obtenida es negativa de USD $ 278 por QALY, por usarse la perspectiva del paciente, este valor se considera un ahorro. El costo por QALY fue de USD 1,74 para los CCBR y de USD 20,17 para el sector privado. El índice del perfil de salud general fue 0,745 y el estado de salud general VAS fue 70 puntos, para ambos resultados el género masculino presentó valores inferiores a los del género femenino. Discusión: Se ha demostrado que diagnosticar de forma temprana el COVID-19 puede mejorar el pronóstico. La alternativa para consultar de no haber asistido ese día al CCBR sería con médico en el sector privado posponiendo en promedio 2,3 días el tiempo de consulta. Buscar atención médica para casos sospechoso o confirmado de COVID-19 en el sector privado puede implicar comprometer el 59,0% de los ingresos de alguien que devenga el salario mínimo. Conclusión: La atención primaria ofrecida en los CCBR que articula con el MSPAS para la atención de pacientes respiratorios sospechosos o confirmados de COVID-19 es una alternativa de bajo costo para el paciente, cercana a las personas que invita a la población a que consulte de forma oportuna disminuyendo la carga financiera al paciente y su familia.
