ABSTRACT
OBJETIVO: Analizar la prevalencia y el manejo de los episodios de dolor, su evaluación y registro en unidades de hospitalización de Medicina Interna en un hospital público de tercer nivel del Servicio Regional de Salud de Castilla y León. MÉTODO: Estudio descriptivo transversal sobre los pacientes ingresados en unidades de Medicina Interna. La prevalencia del dolor se detectó mediante el cuestionario Brief Pain Inventory. La gestión de los episodios se analizó mediante su registro en la historia clínica. RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 83 pacientes, el 73,5% manifestaron dolor y el 67,2% desconocían su pauta analgésica. Se identificaron más episodios de dolor en el caso de las mujeres (p = 0,006) con respecto a los hombres. La administración farmacológica se registró en todos los casos, el episodio de dolor dentro del evolutivo de la enfermera se registró en el 29,5% y en ningún caso se registró intensidad o grado de alivio con la Escala Visual Analógica, en la gráfica de constantes. CONCLUSIONES: Se ha evidenciado una alta prevalencia de dolor en los pacientes hospitalizados y una deficiencia en la gestión de los episodios de dolor por parte de las enfermeras, tanto en la evaluación como en el registro. Ello implica la necesidad de protocolizar el control del dolor implementando buenas prácticas basadas en la evidencia y dotar a las enfermeras de los medios y el apoyo necesario para poder realizar un manejo adecuado del dolor
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the prevalence and management of pain episodes, their evaluation and recording in internal medicine hospitalization units in a third level public hospital of the regional health service of Castilla y León. METHOD: A descriptive cross-sectional study. The study population comprised patients hospitalized in internal medicine units. Pain prevalence was detected by the Brief Pain Inventory questionnaire. The management of pain episodes was analyzed as recorded in the clinical records. RESULTS: 83 patients were included, 73.5% of them reported pain and 67.2% did not know their analgesia regimen. More episodes of pain were identified in the women (P=.006) than in the men. The pharmacological administration was recorded in all cases; however, nurses recorded the episode in the clinical history of 29.5% of the patients. In no case, was the pain intensity or degree of relief recorded using the visual analogical scale. CONCLUSIONS: There is evidence of a high prevalence of pain in hospitalized patients and deficiencies in the management of pain episodes by nurses, both in evaluation and recording. This implies the need for pain control protocols and the implementation of evidence-based best practice guidelines to provide nurses with the means and support for adequate pain management

INTRODUCCIÓN: El objetivo propuesto ha sido comparar la prevalencia de virus de papiloma Humano (VPH) en las mujeres españolas y extranjeras pertenecientes al programa de cribado de cáncer de cérvix de Castilla y León, y las mujeres extranjeras residentes en la comunidad que han participado en el programa. MÉTODOS: Se trata de un estudio observacional descriptivo transversal, retrospectivo, de prevalencia de periodo. La muestra consta de todas las mujeres incluidas en el programa de prevención de cáncer de cérvix de la Consejería de Sanidad de la Junta de Castilla y León a quienes se realizó una prueba de cribado de cáncer de cérvix, durante el periodo de 2012 a 2014, con edades comprendidas entre los 25 y los 64 años de edad. RESULTADOS: De las 190.203 muestras de frotis de cérvix recopiladas el 10,2% fueron extranjeras (n = 19.329). La prevalencia de VPH en mujeres extranjeras fue del 23,51%, significativamente mayor que en las mujeres españolas (p < 0,001). También resultó ser mayor la presencia de alteraciones morfológicas y microbiológicas en las mujeres extranjeras. CONCLUSIONES: El presente estudio realiza una importante aportación, al tratarse de una voluminosa muestra proveniente de un screening de tipo poblacional. Evidenciando, significativamente, la mayor prevalencia de VPH en mujeres extranjeras que en las mujeres nacidas en España. Siendo importante continuar estudiando este tipo de población que por motivos culturales no es fácil su captación
INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to compare the prevalence of human papilloma virus (HPV) in Spanish and foreign women in a cervical cancer screening programme of Castilla y León and foreign women living in the community who participated in the programme. METHODS: This was an observational, descriptive, cross - sectional, retrospective study of period prevalence. The sample consisted of all the women included in the cervical cancer prevention programme of the Regional Ministry of Health of the Junta de Castilla y León who were screened for cervical cancer during the period from 2012 to 2014, aged between 25 and 64 years of age. RESULTS: Of the 190,203 cervical smear samples collected, 10.2% were foreign (n = 19,329). The prevalence of HPV in the foreign women was 23.51%, significantly higher than in the Spanish women (P < .001). The presence of morphological and microbiological changes in the foreign women was also greater. CONCLUSIONS: This study makes an important contribution, since it comprised a voluminous population screening sample. The prevalence of HPV in the foreign women was significantly higher than in the women born in Spain. It is important to continue studying this type of population, who are difficult to recruit for cultural reasons
