RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Community mobilisation for prevention requires engagement with and buy in from those communities. In the Mexico state of Guerrero, unprecedented social violence related to the narcotics trade has eroded most community structures. A recent randomised controlled trial in 90 coastal communities achieved sufficient mobilisation to reduce conventional vector density indicators, self-reported dengue illness and serologically proved dengue virus infection. METHODS: The Camino Verde intervention was a participatory research protocol promoting local discussion of baseline evidence and co-design of vector control solutions. Training of facilitators emphasised community authorship rather than trying to convince communities to do specific activities. Several discussion groups in each intervention community generated a loose and evolving prevention plan. Facilitators trained brigadistas, the first wave of whom received a small monthly stipend. Increasing numbers of volunteers joined the effort without pay. All communities opted to work with schoolchildren and for house-to-house visits by brigadístas. Children joined the neighbourhood vector control movements where security conditions permitted. After 6 months, a peer evaluation involved brigadista visits between intervention communities to review and to share progress. DISCUSSION: Although most communities had no active social institutions at the outset, local action planning using survey data provided a starting point for community authorship. Well-known in their own communities, brigadistas faced little security risk compared with the facilitators who visited the communities, or with governmental programmes. We believe the training focus on evidence-based dialogue and a plural community ownership through multiple design groups were key to success under challenging security conditions.

Resumen OBJETIVO: Estimar la ocurrencia y los factores asociados con la violencia física y psicológica ejercida a las embarazadas por parte de sus parejas. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio de cohorte, retrospectivo y transversal efectuado en las pacientes atendidas entre los meses de junio a noviembre de 2019 en el Hospital de la Madre y el Niño Guerrerense, México. Mediante un cuestionario electrónico (Abuse Assessment Screen), autoadministrado, se indagaron los datos sociodemográficos, de violencia física y psicológica y los antecedentes ginecoobstétricos. La estimación de factores asociados se hizo mediante razón de momios y análisis multivariado. RESULTADOS: Se reunieron 463 registros útiles para el análisis; 125 (27%) reportaron violencia psicológica y 7% (n = 32) violencia física. Los factores asociados con la violencia psicológica fueron: antecedente de este tipo de violencia en la infancia (razón de momios ajustada [RMa] 2.5; IC95%: 1.3-4.8) y antes del embarazo (RMa: 33.9; IC95%: 18.9-60.6). Los factores asociados con la violencia física fueron: antecedente de este tipo de violencia antes del embarazo (RMa: 24.6; IC95%: 10.4- 58.6) y en la infancia (RMa: 3.6; IC95%: 1.5-8.5) además, consumo de alcohol durante el embarazo (RMa: 5.5; IC95%: 1.3-24.4). Estar casada o en unión libre fue un factor protector en contra de la violencia psicológica (RMa: 0.33; IC95%: 0.11-0.97) y física (RMa: 0.29; IC95%: 0.08-0.99). CONCLUSIONES: La violencia psicológica fue mayor que la reportada para la física. Ambas se experimentaron durante los años de infancia o antes del embarazo e incrementaron el riesgo de sufrirla durante el proceso reproductivo. Las embarazadas casadas o en unión libre tuvieron menor riesgo de sufrir violencia física y psicológica.
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To estimate the occurrence and factors associated with physical and psychological violence exerted on pregnant women by their partners. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cohort, retrospective and cross-sectional study carried out in patients attended from June to November 2019 at the Hospital de la Madre y el Niño Guerrerense, Mexico. An electronic questionnaire (Abuse Assessment Screen), self-administered, was used to inquire about sociodemographic data, physical and psychological violence and gynecological and obstetric history. The associated factors were estimated by odds ratio and multivariate analysis. RESULTS: We collected 463 records useful for analysis; 125 (27%) reported psychological violence and 7% (n = 32) physical violence. Factors associated with psychological violence were history of such violence in childhood (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.5; 95%CI: 1.3-4.8) and before pregnancy (aOR: 33.9; 95%CI: 18.9-60.6). The factors associated with physical violence were history of this type of violence before pregnancy (aRI: 24.6; 95%CI: 10.4-58.6) and in childhood (aRI: 3.6; 95%CI: 1.5-8.5) and alcohol consumption during pregnancy (aRI: 5.5; 95%CI: 1.3-24.4). Being married or in union was a protective factor against psychological (RMa: 0.33; 95%CI: 0.11-0.97) and physical violence (RMa: 0.29; 95%CI: 0.08-0.99). CONCLUSIONS: Psychological violence was higher than that reported for physical violence. Both were experienced during the childhood years or before pregnancy and increased the risk of suffering it during the reproductive process. Pregnant women who were married or in union had a lower risk of suffering physical and psychological violence.
RESUMO
Resumen OBJETIVO: Estimar la prevalencia de depresión posparto y los factores asociados en usuarias del Hospital General Progreso, Acapulco, Guerrero, México. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio prospectivo, observacional y transversal de serie de casos. El instrumento para medir la depresión fue un cuestionario que incluyó la Escala de Depresión Posnatal de Edimburgo (EPDS por sus siglas en inglés). Además, a las pacientes se les preguntaron sus datos sociodemográficos, antecedentes de control prenatal, historial obstétrico, atención del parto y otros datos relacionados con su pareja. Mediante análisis bivariado y multivariado se estimaron los factores asociados con la depresión posparto. RESULTADOS: Se analizaron 485 pacientes con media de edad de 24.6 años y límites de 14 y 43 años. La prevalencia de depresión posparto fue de 16%. En el modelo final del análisis multivariado los factores asociados con la depresión posparto fueron: complicaciones en el parto (IC95%:1.61-6.54), antecedente de alcoholismo antes del embarazo (IC95%:1.17- 3.30) y recibir apoyo emocional del esposo durante el embarazo (IC95%: 0.17-0.68). CONCLUSIONES: El antecedente de consumo de bebidas alcohólicas, previo al embarazo, y tener alguna complicación del parto, fueron indicios de posible aparición de depresión posparto. Quienes la padecieron tuvieron la referencia temprana a los servicios de Psicología. La pareja debe estar informada que su apoyo emocional ayuda a reducir el riesgo de depresión posparto en la paciente.
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of postpartum depression and associated factors in users of the Hospital General Progreso, Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prospective, observational, cross-sectional case series study. The instrument to measure depression was a questionnaire that included the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). In addition, patients were asked about their sociodemographic data, prenatal control history, obstetric history, delivery care and other data related to their partner. Factors associated with postpartum depression were estimated by bivariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: We analyzed 485 patients with a mean age of 24.6 years and cut-offs of 14 and 43 years. The prevalence of postpartum depression was 16%. In the final multivariate analysis model, the factors associated with postpartum depression were: delivery complications (CI95%:1.61-6.54), history of alcoholism before pregnancy (CI95%:1.17- 3.30) and receiving emotional support from husband during pregnancy (CI95%: 0.17-0.68). CONCLUSIONS: A history of alcoholic beverage consumption prior to pregnancy and having some complication of childbirth were indicative of possible occurrence of postpartum depression. Those who suffered from it had early referral to psychology services. The couple should be informed that their emotional support helps to reduce the risk of postpartum depression in the patient.
RESUMO
Introducción: La caries es una de las enfermedades bucodentales más frecuentes y, por ser las primeras en emerger, los primeros molares permanentes son las piezas más susceptibles a esta afección. Objetivo: Estimar la prevalencia de caries y factores asociados a esta en los primeros molares permanentes en escolares de segundo grado de primaria. Métodos: Estudio transversal, en estudiantes de segundo grado en 17 de 67 escuelas públicas de Acapulco, Guerrero. Un cuestionario autoadministrado se utilizó para obtener datos sociodemográficos y hábitos de higiene dental. La caries y la presencia de placa dentobacteriana se midieron a través de índices epidemiológicos, el CPOD (diente cariado, obturado y perdido) y el O'Leary. Se estimó la razón de momios e intervalo de confianza de 95 por ciento, ajustada por conglomerado, como medida de la fuerza de asociación mediante análisis multivariado. Resultados: Se revisaron 3332 primeros molares permanentes, el 21 por ciento tuvo caries, el 6 por ciento tuvo obturaciones y el 1 por ciento ya se había extraído. El índice CPOD de caries grupal fue 0,27. Cinco factores estuvieron asociados a la caries de los primeros molares permanentes: higiene dental deficiente (RMa = 2,87), técnica de cepillado dental inadecuada (RMa = 1,70), tomar alguna bebida dulce antes de ir a dormir (RMa = 1,68), visitar al dentista (RMa = 0,67) y aplicación de flúor (RMa = 0,61). Conclusiones: La prevalencia de caries en los primeros molares permanentes fue 21 por ciento dentro del rango reportado en otros estudios. Fueron identificados cinco factores asociados a la caries: higiene dental deficiente, técnica de cepillado inadecuado, consumo de azúcares antes de dormir, visitas al dentista y aplicación de flúor. Estos factores orientan sobre qué medidas preventivas se deben promover en los escolares para la preservación de sus piezas dentales(AU)
Introduction: Caries is the most frequent oral disease and the first permanent molars are very susceptible to this condition because they are the first teeth to emerge. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of caries its associated factors in the first permanent molars in second grade primary school children. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in second grade students in 17 out of 67primary public schools in Acapulco, Guerrero. We applied a self-administered questionnaire to obtain sociodemographic data and dental hygiene habits. Caries and the presence of dentobacterial plaque were measured through epidemiological indices, CPOD (decayed, blocked and lost tooth) and O'Leary index. The odds ratio and 95 percent confidence interval, adjusted by cluster, were estimated as a measure of strength of association through multivariate analysis. Results: We reviewed 3 332 permanent first molars, 21 percent had cavities, 6 percent had seals and 1 percent had already been removed. The CPOD index of group caries was 0,27. We found five factors associated with caries of the first permanent molars: deficient dental hygiene (RMa=2,87), inadequate tooth brushing technique (RMa=1,70), drinking a sweet drink before bedtime (RMa=1,68), visiting the dentist (RMa=0,67) and fluoride application (RMa=0,61). Conclusions: Prevalence of caries in the first permanent molars was 21 percent, within the range reported in other studies. Five factors associated with caries were identified: poor dental hygiene, inadequate brushing technique, consumption of sugars before going to sleep, visits to the dentist and application of fluoride. These factors guide what preventive measures should be promoted in schoolchildren for the preservation of their teeth(AU)
