RESUMO

Many global health volunteer experiences and research projects are focused on the needs of the host country participants, which perpetuates a sovereign or superior relationship towards low- or middle-income countries (LMIC). The purpose of this paper is to discuss ethical and culturally sensitive practices in LMIC when providing health care as a volunteer or researcher. International ethical standards for providing global health care are discussed. The author participated in a volunteer global health experience for three months in Kenya. An evaluation of a nongovernmental organization (NGO)-sponsored community health worker (CHW) program was conducted and is presented here. Health indicators such as prenatal care visits, birth attendance by skilled personnel, and full vaccination of children improved by 34%, 36%, and 24%, respectively, following 5 years of implementation of the CHW program. Global health care can be provided in a more socially responsible and sustainable manner by supporting NGO-sponsored CHW programs affiliated with local ministries of health in LMICs.

RESUMO

Existe una alta prevalencia de dolor musculoesqueletal en odontólogos y estudiantes de odontología alrededor del mundo. El objetivo de esta investigación será determinar la prevalencia de síntomas asociados a trastornos musculoesqueléticos en estudiantes de odontología de la Universidad Austral de Chile. Un cuestionario de auto respuesta fue aplicado a 206 estudiantes entre segundo y quinto año al finalizar el semestre académico. El cuestionario incluyó preguntas de antecedentes generales y de presencia de síntomas según tipo, localización, intensidad, frecuencia y momento del día en que aparecen. El 83 por ciento de los estudiantes reportaron molestias musculoesqueléticas encontrando en general una mayor prevalencia en mujeres. En hombres la zona más reportada fue la espalda media, y en mujeres la zona del cuello y hombro. La mayor intensidad se concentró en mujeres con nivel de dolor 4 y en hombres con nivel 3 (según escala EVA). El momento del día con más molestias fue al terminar el trabajo clínico. Según el año de la carrera que cursan, la mayor prevalencia se observó en cuarto año y el síntoma más frecuente fue el cansancio y la fatiga. El incremento en la carga académica y clínica estaría relacionada con una alta prevalencia de trastornos musculoesqueléticos en estudiantes de odontología.


There is a high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in dentists and dental students around the world. The aim of the study is to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorder symptoms in dental students of the Universidad Austral de Chile. A self responded questionnaire was applied to 206 students between second and fifth year, at the end of the academic semester. The questionnaire included questions of general background and symptoms presence depending on type, location, intensity, frequency and time of the day in which they appear. An 83 percent of the students reported musculoskeletal discomfort, finding a higher prevalence among women. According to the school year, the highest prevalence was observed in fourth year and the most frequent symptom was tiredness and fatigue. In men, the most reported area was mid back, and in women neck and shoulder. The highest intensity was focused on women with pain level 4 and in men with level 3 (depending on the scale (VAS). The moment of the day with higher discomfort was at the end of the clinical work. A high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders was found, probably related to the progressive increase of clinical work.

RESUMO

Se aplicó una encuesta a mujeres profesionales del área de la Salud, con el fin de evaluar la utilización de la técnica de Papanicolaou, PAP, como examen preventivo del cáncer cervico-uterino. La encuesta fue contestada por 234 profesionales. En el resultado resalta que una de cada cuatro profesionales nunca se ha realizado el PAP, y que sólo 34% de las profesionales que se lo han practicado lo repitan periódicamente
