Published: January 2025

De behandeling van chronische lage rugpijn blijft een enorme uitdaging voor de geneeskunde én de maatschappij. Artrose (slijtage van de wervels), een hernia en ingedeukte rugwervels zijn belangrijke oorzaken van lage rugpijn. De meeste patiënten kunnen adequaat behandeld worden met oa. pijnmedicatie. Het KCE heeft op vraag van het RIZIV enkele nieuwe technologieën onderzocht, namelijk totale discusprothese voor de behandeling van chronische lage rugpijn ten gevolge van slijtage of hernia, en vertebroplastie/ballon kyfoplastie voor de behandeling van rugpijn bij ingedeukte rugwervels.

Le traitement du mal de dos chronique reste un défi majeur pour la médecine et la société. L’arthrose (usure des vertèbres), l’hernie discale et le tassement des vertèbres constituent des causes importantes de lombalgie. La majorité des patients peuvent être soignés de manière adéquate, grâce entre autres aux anti-douleurs. A la demande de l’INAMI, le KCE a investigué quelques technologies innovantes, à savoir la prothèse discale dans le traitement du mal de dos résultant d’une usure ou d’une hernie, la vertébro/cyphoplastie par ballonnet dans le traitement du mal de dos suite au tassement de vertèbres.

Die Wahl zum Europäischen Parlament in Deutschland am 9. Juni 2024: Debakel für die Ampel-Parteien, Erfolg für Parteien mit restriktiver Migrationspolitik
Authors: Gothe Heiko
Published: January 2025

Die Europawahl am 9 . Juni 2024 fand unter deutlich veränderten Rahmenbedingungen gegenüber der Wahl 2019 statt . Nach 47 Jahren Mitgliedschaft hatte das Vereinigte Königreich am 31 . Januar 2020 die Europäische Union verlassen, so dass das Europäische Parlament (EP) in nur noch 27 Mitgliedsländern gewählt wurde . Die im Frühjahr 2020 ausgebrochene Corona-Pandemie hatte die EU-Staaten vor massive gesellschaftliche und wirtschaftliche Herausforderungen gestellt . Im Februar 2022 begann Russland seinen Angriffskrieg auf die Ukraine und löste damit unter anderem eine verteidigungspolitische Neuausrichtung der EU und des westlichen Verteidigungsbündnisses NATO aus . Eine weitere Folge waren Energiepreiserhöhungen und Inflationsschübe in vielen Ländern . In etlichen Mitgliedstaaten wurde die Zuwanderung als großes Problem wahrgenommen . Insgesamt fand die Europawahl also vor dem Hintergrund multipler Krisen statt . Auch die deutsche innenpolitische Ausgangslage war deutlich verändert, denn die Regierungsverantwortung in der Bundesrepublik lag in anderen Händen als beim Urnengang fünf Jahre zuvor . Bei der Bundestagswahl im Herbst 2021 war die bis dahin regierende Große Koalition aus Union und SPD durch die von Olaf Scholz geführte „Ampel“-Regierung aus SPD, Grünen und FDP abgelöst worden .
Zum Sozialprofil der in Deutschland gewählten Abgeordneten des Europäischen Parlaments nach der Wahl am 9. Juni 2024
Authors: Rütters Peter
Published: January 2025

Since the European elections in 2014, the number of parties elected to the European Parliament (EP) in Germany has more than doubled . The removal of the 5-percent threshold in electoral law gave seven small(est) parties with an increasing number of MEPs (2024: 12) continuously access to the EP . At the same time, the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) gained also access to the EP with a growing number of seats in the EP (2024: 15 seats); finally, the Sahra Wagenknecht Bündnis (BSW), founded a few months before the election, entered Parliament in 2024 with six MEPs . As a result, the six established parties (CDU, CSU, SPD, Grüne, FDP, Linke) together only account for around two thirds of the 96 MEPs (2019: 79 .2 percent) . In 2024, the gains in seats made by the minor parties, AfD and BSW were offset by losses for the Grünen (9), SPD (2) and Linke (2), primarily as a reaction to the policies of the so-called traffic light government in the numerous conflict situations with a partly domestic and European dimension . With regard to the social profile of MPs – and the prerequisites for a competent and responsible performance of the mandate –, there are hardly any differences in the overall high educational backgrounds among MPs . However, pre-parliamentary political and institutional experience – as elements for the professionalization of politics and parliamentary representation – can be found above all in the established parties as informal prerequisites for nomination for a parliamentary mandate . Otherwise, these informal recruitment requirements for a mandate are also gradually gaining ground in the AfD . Differences between established parties and those newly elected to the EP since 2014 can also be seen in the length of parliamentary membership of MEPs; this continuity of membership and experience of MEPs over several electoral terms, which is functionally necessary for a parliament, is almost exclusively borne by the established parties in the EP . Although the ‘renewal’ of MEPs required for functional reasons was in line with the long-term average of around one third in the 2024 EP elections, the ‘new’ parties accounted for a very high proportion (71 .4 percent) . The AfD in particular, with 12 new MEPs (80 percent), continued its renunciation of the development of (constructive) European parliamentary competences, in line with its anti-EU program .
Das österreichische Mitglied im Europäischen Parlament: ein unbekanntes Wesen? Zum Sozialprofil der EP-Abgeordneten 1995 bis 2024
Authors: Brocza Stefan
Published: January 2025

Since joining the EU on January 1, 1995, Austria has been represented in the European Parliament by directly elected members . After 30 years of EU membership, this article analyses the social profiles of all Austrian MEPs to date . Age, education, gender parity, renewal rate and previous political experience take center-stage . The rather short length of time spent in the European Parliament and the frequent political inexperience of MEPs are identified as particularly ‘significant’ . However, the eighth EP electoral term (2014-2019) was characterized by extraordinary personnel changes for Austria . The ninth period (2019- 2024) saw a rejuvenation of Austria’s MEPs and an increase in the proportion of women . For the first time, there was gender parity . With the start of the tenth period (2024-2029), Austria has taken a step backwards in this respect: its MEPs have become more male and older again . The persistent theory that those who enter the European Parliament no longer play a role in domestic politics can no longer be upheld, at least since the eighth and ninth legislative periods .
Revolte im Maschinenraum? Namentliche Abstimmungen deutscher MdEPs in den Ausschüssen des Europäischen Parlaments
Authors: Wiesenthal Moritz
Published: January 2025

Roll-call votes play an important role in parliamentary research, but have so far focused almost exclusively on plenary votes due to a lack of data . In a transparency offensive, the European Parliament (EP) decided in 2014 to make roll-call votes compulsory for most votes in committees. This article presents a new dataset containing all roll-call votes of EP committees from 2014 until 2019 . The dataset offers a variety of interesting insights beyond the limelight of plenary and opens up a multitude of potential research perspectives .
Die niederländischen und deutschen Grünen auf der europäischen Bühne (1968 bis 1984)
Authors: Beutler Pieter , Meurs Wim van , Oprel Marieke
Published: January 2025

With a special focus on the Dutch Politieke Partij Radikalen (PPR) and its sister party Die Grünen in the period 1968 to 1984, this historical study of the early years of the alliance of green parties in Europe provides a new perspective on the roots of green politics in Europe . Comparing the origins of Die Grünen and the PPR shows how the differences in parliamentary structure and political context between the Netherlands and Germany led to similar green ideals taking shape in different party forms . While her green colleagues were still in the early or even preliminary stages of their party formation during the late seventies, the PPR already had representation in the Dutch parliament for more than a decade and more than four years of government experience . The first direct elections to the European Parliament forced parties to look across borders, which led (precursors of) Die Grünen and the PPR to join the same European networks . Due to the unique position of the PPR, they were able to take a leading role in these networks while providing an example of green politics in Europe for their German sister party .
Zugangs- und Einflusschancen von Interessengruppen in der Gesundheitspolitik
Authors: von Winter Thomas
Published: January 2025

This paper focuses on a subset of the interest group population in the German health policy sector . Analyzing the invitation lists to all public hearings the health committee of the German Bundestag carried out between the 15th and the 19th election term it is shown in which way the size of the interest group community in the health policy sector and the practice of invitations to the committee hearings developed over time . Another purpose of the analysis is to build up a ranking of interest groups based on the frequency of invitations to hearings that mirrors the distribution of opportunities to get access to, and to exert influence on decisions in health policy . In a next step, propositions are developed on how changes in the invitation practice of the committee and in the composition of the interest group community over time can be explained . For testing these propositions three explanatory factors are taken into consideration: First the development of the total interest group population, second the size of legislative and consultation activities of the German health committee and third the political and institutional context .

Roboter und rechtliche Verantwortung
Authors: Günther Jan-Philipp
Published: January 2025

Die technische Entwicklung im Bereich der Robotik schreitet voran: Wurden Roboter in der Vergangenheit vornehmlich im industriellen Kontext eingesetzt, begegnen uns diese technischen Systeme zunehmend in anderen Bereichen. Auch ist zu beobachten, dass einige solcher Systeme »intelligenter« werden, über einen höheren Grad an Autonomie verfügen und für den Menschen nicht immer einschätzbar sind. Das Werk widmet sich der Frage, wer für Aktionen von solchen technischen Systemen rechtlich verantwortlich ist. Insbesondere wird diskutiert, wer im Schadensfall haften kann. Aus zivil- und strafrechtlicher Perspektive wird ein Blick auf die Verantwortung des Benutzers und des Herstellers geworfen. Überdies werden zukünftige Haftungskonzepte vorgestellt.

Geschlossene Stromverteilernetze im EnWG 2011 – Neue Optionen für Betreiber bisheriger Objektnetze
Authors: Lawendel-Harte Britta Janina
Published: January 2025

Das Energiewirtschaftsgesetz enthielt im Jahr 2005 eine Vorschrift für „Objektnetz“-Betreiber, die der Regulierung weitestgehend entzogen waren und Dritten keinen Netzzugang gewähren mussten. Letzteres war der Grund, weshalb der EuGH die Vorschrift für europarechtswidrig erklärte. Der europäische Gesetzgeber knüpfte hieran an und nahm mit den „Geschlossenen Verteilernetzen“ eine neue Netzkategorie in die Richtlinie 2009/72/EG auf, die deutlich weniger Privilegierungen vorsah. Diese Vorgaben wurden national in § 110 EnWG 2011 umgesetzt. Zugleich wurden die regulierungsfreien Kundenanlagen neu kodifiziert, die nun die attraktivere Option für bisherige Objektnetzbetreiber zu sein scheinen. In der Dissertation wird daher untersucht, ob Objektnetze nun als Netz, teilprivilegiertes geschlossenes Verteilernetz oder als regulierungsfreie Kundenanlage einzustufen sind. Es wird zudem geklärt, ob die Umsetzung europarechtskonform erfolgt ist und wo gesetzgeberischer Nachbesserungsbedarf besteht.

 
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Features and Diagnostic Accuracy in Pediatric Brachial Plexus Neuropathy: A Retrospective Analysis
Authors: Zang Lili , Duan Xiaomin , Zhang Xiaoyan , Zhang Jiexin , Wang Jie , Yu Tong , Yin Guangheng
Published: January 2025

Background: Brachial plexus neuropathy is a common and frequently occurring disease that may present with upper limb numbness and dysfunction, leading to a high disability rate. Objectives: To analyze the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of brachial plexus neuropathy in children. Methods: This study included 60 children who underwent MRI of the brachial plexus at our hospital from July 2019 to May 2024. The MRI scans included axial T1WI and T2WI sequences, axial and coronal T2-STIR sequences, and coronal 3D-FIESTA sequences. The imaging results were analyzed to identify features of brachial plexus neuropathy. Results: In this study, all 60 children underwent MRI of the brachial plexus. It was found that 34 (56.67%) cases were diagnosed as brachial plexus nerve injury via imaging, including 12 (20.00%) cases on the left side, 18 (30.00%) cases on the right side, and 4 (6.67%) cases on both sides. The imaging diagnoses were consistent with the clinical diagnoses in 32 cases and inconsistent in 2 cases. Meanwhile, 4 (6.67%) cases were diagnosed as other types of brachial plexus neuropathy, including 1 (1.67%) case of neurofibroma, 2 (3.33%) cases of neurosheathoma on the left side, and 1 (1.67%) case of right radicular sleeve cyst. The results were consistent with the clinical diagnoses in 3 cases and inconsistent in 1 case. Additionally, 7 (11.67%) cases were diagnosed as non-brachial plexus neuropathy, while 15 (25.00%) cases showed no obvious abnormality of the brachial plexus nerve. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive/negative predictive values were 100.00% (14/14), 78.95% (15/19), 91.11% (41/45), and 100.00% (15/15), respectively. The imaging features of brachial plexus nerve injury included thickening and thinning of nerve roots, high signals on T2 fat-suppression sequences, small cystic low signals at the level of the intervertebral foramen, cystic dilatation of nerve roots, formation of spinal cysts, and irregularly shaped long T1 and T2 signals at the C6 intervertebral foramen. The imaging features of neurofibroma included spike-shaped isometric T1 and T2 signals in the cervical soft tissues and high signals on T2 fat-suppression sequences, with relatively homogeneous signals, a clear boundary, and an irregular morphology of the lesion wrapping around the brachial plexus nerve. Additionally, the imaging features of neurosheathoma included space-occupying lesions, predominantly oval-shaped isometric T1 and slightly longer T2 signals, located at the lateral upper edge of the thorax, the lower part of the posterior clavicle, and the left side of the brachial plexus. Conclusions: The MRI can effectively show the location, range, and type of lesions, providing a valuable imaging reference for the early diagnosis and treatment of brachial plexus neuropathy in children.
Prekarita práce v období pandemie Covid-19 v perspektivě struktury a subjektivity
Authors: Kolářová Veverková Martina
Published: January 2025

The Covid-19 pandemic can be seen as an event that, amongst other things, fundamentally affected the world of work. In particular, the precarity of work has been thematized by researchers. This overview paper builds on contemporary theoretical concepts of precarious work and presents the various manifestations of precarity of work during the pandemic captured in social science research to date. The identified mechanisms of pandemic precarity are liminal phase, the disabling and labour market exclusionary effect of pandemic measures, and various aspects of precarity at work and power in the workplace - the theme being both non-compliance with the safety measures and their enforcement in ways that workers perceive as stressful. Another important theme is the experience of work-life conflict, particularly among the group of parents with pre-school and school-age children. The penultimate topic is pandemics as limitation on the life chances of certain socio-demographic groups, based on life course theory. The last section is devoted to issues of emancipation and agency of workers during the pandemic. The identified forms of precarity are then compared with the aforementioned theories in order to identify which can be considered conceptually new. These are found in particular in the area of precarity at work and include challenges related to safety measures, extreme work and new forms of work-life conflict. The ambiguous nature of these phenomena requires exploration of subjectivity of the actors.
Analysis Of The Development Of An Early Detection System For Cryptographic-Based Ransomware Attacks In A Cloud Environment
Authors: Hartono Bryan , Zaejuli Hamdoni
Published: January 2025

In the digital era, ransomware attacks have become a significant threat to security systems, especially in cloud computing environments. These attacks encrypt victim data and demand ransom, causing considerable financial and operational losses. This Study aims to develop a cryptography-based early detection system for ransomware attacks to protect data in cloud environments. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, this Study analyzes literature related to ransomware attacks, cryptographic algorithms, and cloud security. Data are obtained from indexed journals, books, and conferences.
The Study's results showed that the implementation of cryptographic algorithms, such as Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of ransomware detection. This system managed to reduce detection time by 48.28%, increase the success rate of data protection from 60% to 95%, and almost double the amount of data protected. This implementation strengthens data security, minimizes the impact of ransomware, and ensures the continuity of cloud user operations. The implications of this Study support the existing literature on the importance of cryptography in mitigating digital security threats while providing practical guidance for organizations in adopting this technology. Further research is recommended to integrate cryptographic algorithms with technologies such as blockchain to increase the scale and complexity of data protection in a broader cloud environment.

Evaluasi Kebijakan Kurikulum Merdeka dalam Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam di Sekolah Dasar Islam Amanah Ummah
Authors: Sukari Sukari , Hasan Ismail
Published: January 2025

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka (Independent Curriculum) in Islamic Education (Pendidikan Agama Islam, PAI) at SDI Amanah Ummah. The research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach to deeply explore the curriculum's effectiveness as well as the supporting and inhibiting factors in its application. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with teachers and the school principal, classroom observations, and analysis of curriculum-related documents. The findings indicate that the Kurikulum Merdeka provides teachers with flexibility to design more contextual and student-centered learning. The project-based approach in this curriculum helps students understand Islamic values in an applied manner. However, several challenges were identified, such as varying levels of teacher understanding, limited learning resources, and resistance from some parents toward the new methods being implemented. This study recommends enhancing teacher training, conducting more intensive outreach to parents, and optimizing the use of technology in learning as strategic steps to improve the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka at SDI Amanah Ummah.
High-Grade Astrocytoma With Piloid Features
Authors: Rudolf Mark A. , Ferris Sean P.
Published: January 2025

Context.—

High-grade astrocytoma with piloid features (HGAP) is a newly recognized glioma defined by its methylation profile. Understanding of its clinical, histologic, and molecular characteristics continues to evolve.

Objective.—

To review the HGAP literature, emphasizing updates in our understanding of the entity since its codification in the 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) Blue Book. Additionally, to present a case series illustrating a single institutional experience with HGAP.

Data Sources.—

The English-language HGAP literature from 2018 to 2024 was reviewed. Four cases of HGAP were reviewed, along with relevant medical records.

Conclusions.—

HGAP is an important consideration in the differential diagnosis of isocitrate dehydrogenase–wild-type gliomas and is more frequently encountered in adults. A handful of studies published following the entity’s codification in the 2021 WHO Blue Book have refined our understanding of its clinical, histologic, and hallmark molecular characteristics. The most substantial updates include the description of 3 provisional subtypes, further characterization of an association with neurofibromatosis 1 syndrome, identification of new rare molecular alterations, and documentation of a unique case of possible transformation of pilocytic astrocytoma into HGAP. Clues to the diagnosis of HGAP include histologic infiltrating glioma with moderate pleomorphism, posterior fossa location, CDKN2A/B (cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A/B) deletion, MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) pathway alterations, ATRX (alpha thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked) loss, and association with neurofibromatosis 1 syndrome in some cases; these findings should prompt further molecular testing, including genome-wide DNA methylation analysis, which is currently essential for diagnosis.

Salud de la mujer en el curso de vida

Introducción

Durante la pandemia por COVID-19, los servicios de prevención y tratamiento de las enfermedades no contagiosas se interrumpieron, y en especial, controles y actividades de pesquisa y prevención de cáncer ginecológico, y Chile no fue la excepción.

Objetivos

Identificar las características del acceso a la pesquisa de cáncer cervicouterino y de mamas durante la pandemia de COVID-19 en los CESFAM del Servicio de Salud Concepción desde la perspectiva de las usuarias y profesionales de la matronería.

Metodología

Estudio cualitativo, exploratorio-descriptivo con perspectiva fenomenológica. Se realizó un muestreo teórico intencionado que incluyó dos perfiles: profesionales de matronería de APS (n=7) y usuarias de los programas de pesquisa precoz de cáncer cervicouterino y de mamas (n=9). Se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad que fueron grabadas y transcritas, y el guión se elaboró a partir del modelo de Tanahashi. Se realizó análisis de contenido con apoyo del software ATLAS.ti.

Resultados principales

Las matronas reconocen en su experiencia cuestiones sobre recursos humanos, equipamiento, infraestructura, acceso físico, y prestaciones, y en las estrategias de rescate de los programas de CaCu y CaMama reconocen las actividades telemáticas y campañas. También identificaron el proceso de atención para CaCu/Mama, continuidad de la atención, modalidad de asignación de atenciones, espacio físico y la distancia. Las usuarias identifican barreras de acceso, espacios o salas de espera, box de atención, medidas de protección y personal sanitario, así como el conocimiento de CaCu y CaMama como barreras de acceso.

Conclusiones

Ambas poblaciones de estudio identificaron que las mayores barreras para acceder a la atención de los programas de pesquisa de CaCu y CaMama fueron las derivadas de las medidas sanitarias para evitar contagio de COVID-19 y el miedo a éste por parte de las usuarias. Se desplazó la pesquisa de ambos cánceres, privilegiando la atención respiratoria y telemática. Y la disminución del rendimiento por hora de atención matronil supuso un beneficio para lograr brindar más atención a las necesidades de las usuarias.

Published: January 2025

Introducción

A través de esta revisión bibliográfica se resalta la importancia del manejo de la diabetes pregestacional tipo 1 (DMPG) durante el embarazo debido a las complicaciones para la madre y el feto. Las gestantes con diabetes tipo 1 tienen un mayor riesgo de complicaciones como preeclampsia (PE), macrosomía fetal y riesgo aumentado de hipoglucemia neonatal. El control glucémico estricto previo y durante el embarazo es de suma importancia para prevenir estas complicaciones. A partir de la necesidad del manejo estricto durante el embarazo en usuarias con diabetes tipo 1, es que se ha propuesto la interrupción programada de embarazo, de esta forma prevenir ciertas complicaciones que pueden presentarse a mayor EG, determinar seguridad y eficacia de la interrupción programada del embarazo será el objetivo de esta revisión bibliográfica.

Objetivos

Evaluar la eficacia y seguridad de la interrupción del embarazo en gestantes con diabetes tipo 1.

Metodología

Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica para evaluar la eficacia y seguridad de la interrupción del embarazo en gestantes con diabetes tipo 1. Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática en varias bases de datos utilizando el marco PICO (paciente, intervención, comparación y resultado). La revisión inicial desde Pubmed incluyó 22 artículos, de los cuales se seleccionaron 3 para análisis detallado, desde otras plataformas se seleccionaron 7 artículos más que cumplieran con los criterios de elegibilidad.

Resultados principales

Las guías clínicas sugieren la interrupción de la gestación en casos de DMPG para reducir las complicaciones perinatales. El momento óptimo para el parto depende de múltiples factores, y se describen protocolos específicos para la interrupción del embarazo. Los resultados de la revisión destacan la importancia del manejo multidisciplinario y la cooperación entre diferentes especialistas para obtener resultados exitosos en mujeres con diabetes durante el embarazo.

Conclusiones

Se concluye que las decisiones sobre el momento y modo de parto deben basarse en una evaluación detallada y personalizada para cada gestante, considerando factores como comorbilidades y factores relevantes. Agregar que no hay suficiente investigación.
Experiences of mothers of children with trisomy 21 hospitalized in the neonatal period related to the breastfeeding process
Authors: Marcela  , Ulloa Goldsack , Yizmeyian Mella , Miguel Maria Emilia Labadia
Published: January 2025

Introducción

La trisomía 21, comúnmente denominada Síndrome de Down (SD), es la anormalidad genética más prevalente en humanos. En Chile actualmente nacen en promedio 2.7 niños con SD cada mil recién nacidos vivos. Se describe esta condición como causa de abandono del amamantamiento y a su vez se observa un menor porcentaje de adherencia a la Lactancia Materna (LM) de estos niños, en comparación a niños que no padecen esta alteración genética.

Objetivos

Explorar las vivencias de madres de hijos con Trisomía 21 que fueron hospitalizados en el periodo neonatal relacionada al proceso de lactancia materna, identificando las expectativas y necesidades, las barreras y factores facilitadores y la percepción sobre los profesionales de salud.

Metodología

Estudio cualitativo con enfoque fenomenológico. La recolección de datos fue por entrevista individual semiestructurada a 12 mujeres de la fundación “Complementa” que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión y firmaron consentimiento informado. Se realizó un análisis narrativo de contendido de los discursos.

Resultados principales

Las expectativas maternas cambian teniendo conocimiento previo del diagnóstico de síndrome de Down. Las madres manifestaron necesidades respecto a educación y apoyo durante la lactancia. Las barreras identificadas fueron: la propia condición de SD, la falta de apoyo, limitaciones de la unidad de neonatología, exceso de información entregada por los profesionales de salud, vivir en región, poca información atingente a la lactancia en niños con SD, entre otras. Los facilitadores identificados fueron las redes de apoyo, la institución privada de salud, experiencia previa de lactancia, entre otras.

Conclusiones

Teniendo el diagnóstico prenatal de SD las madres se centran en la sobrevida de su recién nacido. La mayor necesidad referida por las madres fue la educación, el apoyo y acompañamiento por parte de los profesionales de salud. La vivencia del proceso de amamantamiento es única para cada madre. Este proyecto se realizó sin conflictos de interés y contó con la aprobación del comité de ética de investigación en seres humanos de la Universidad de Chile (CEISH), Proyecto: No 204-2022, Archivo acta: N° 197

Introducción

El parto humanizado es considerado como la atención centrada en las necesidades y percepciones de la usuaria y su familia respecto al proceso del parto, la pandemia por COVID-19 trajo consigo obstáculos para la implementación de esta atención, por lo que surge la duda si a pesar de estos obstáculos, se pudieron seguir implementando las recomendaciones de la OMS para una atención humanizada del parto.

Objetivos

Conocer las estrategias implementadas durante la pandemia por COVID-19 en la atención del parto humanizado en la Unidad de Pre-Parto y Parto del Hospital Carlos Van Buren (HCVB).

Metodología

Estudio cualitativo descriptivo en matronas y matrones con una antigüedad mayor o igual a 2 años previo a la pandemia en la unidad de preparto y parto del HCVB de Valparaíso, a través de entrevista en profundidad, analizando sus percepciones sobre la problemática planteada y contrastando con lo que sugiere la evidencia científica actual. Autorizado por comité de Ética Facultad Medicina Universidad de Valparaíso.

Resultados principales

El estudio en el HCVB evaluó la implementación de la atención humanizada del parto según la OMS antes de la pandemia. Se constató la presencia de acompañantes, comunicación efectiva, estrategias de alivio del dolor, vigilancia regular y la importancia de la continuidad en la atención. Durante la pandemia, se enfrentaron desafíos en infraestructura, recursos humanos y gestión. La falta de espacio y personal adecuado dificultó la implementación de estas prácticas, aunque se hizo un esfuerzo significativo para mantener la atención humanizada. La investigación resalta la necesidad de mejorar la infraestructura y el apoyo institucional.

Conclusiones

La pandemia de SARS-CoV-2, iniciada en 2019, transformó la vida de todos y planteó desafíos significativos para los profesionales de salud, quienes debieron implementar soluciones transitorias pero efectivas. El estudio realizado evaluó la implementación de la atención humanizada del parto según las recomendaciones de la OMS. Se evidenció un alto grado de cumplimiento, aunque es crucial abordar las limitaciones persistentes. Durante la pandemia, los profesionales de matronería enfrentaron desafíos en infraestructura, recursos humanos y gestión, demostrando su capacidad para manejar crisis. Se destacó la necesidad de mantener una atención integral y humanizada, a pesar del estrés y las dificultades. A futuro, es esencial fortalecer estas prácticas, reducir las brechas existentes y promover guías clínicas y protocolos para consolidar la atención humanizada del parto en Chile. La investigación busca fortalecer y empoderar la matronería, apoyando la consolidación de estas prácticas en el país.

Authors: Santarán Yanina Daniela Miragaya
Published: January 2025

Introducción

La actualización y ampliación de las competencias de las obstétricas, junto con el fortalecimiento de su formación y rol dentro de los equipos de salud, es crucial para reducir la morbimortalidad materna y proteger los derechos sexuales y reproductivos. En Argentina, la regulación profesional de las obstétricas ha generado disparidades entre jurisdicciones y ha dejado muchas normas desactualizadas tras cambios legales recientes. REDAAS, creada en 2011 e institucionalizada en 2014, trabaja para implementar la Ley 27.610 y promover la calidad de la atención en salud sexual y reproductiva (SSR).

Objetivos

Describir el grupo de trabajo de obstétricas/os de REDAAS y sus líneas estratégicas; Analizar el estado actual de la regulación profesional de obstétricas/os en Argentina; Visibilizar las prácticas, experiencias, disputas y desafíos enfrentados por las obstétricas/os en Argentina; Identificar las oportunidades y amenazas actuales para la práctica de la obstetricia en Argentina; Divulgar la agenda de las obstétricas en Argentina, basándose en las recomendaciones internacionales y las posibilidades actuales.

Metodología

Se trata de un estudio descriptivo y exploratorio con un enfoque cualitativo

Resultados principales

Este estudio documentó las características del grupo de obstétricas/os de REDAAS, sus líneas estratégicas y el estado de la regulación profesional en Argentina. Ha visibilizado las prácticas, experiencias, disputas y desafíos enfrentados por las/os obstétricas/os, y ha identificado las oportunidades y amenazas actuales para la obstetricia en Argentina. La evidencia muestra que las/os obstétricas/os pueden ser agentes de cambio y su fortalecimiento puede mejorar significativamente la salud reproductiva. Los organismos internacionales de salud reconocen su aporte crucial y promueven el desarrollo de entornos normativos y materiales propicios para maximizar su potencial en las comunidades y los sistemas de salud.

Conclusiones

Impulsar la agenda del colectivo de obstétricas/os es esencial para fortalecer su liderazgo y capacidad en la provisión de servicios de salud sexual y reproductiva (SSR). Mejorar el acceso y la calidad de la atención requiere fortalecer su autonomía y proporcionar seguridad jurídica a su práctica. La actualización de competencias y la emisión de resoluciones y documentos técnicos por parte de los ministerios de salud son cruciales para armonizar la regulación con las normas vigentes. Los colegios profesionales pueden apoyar esta tarea. Actualizar los programas de formación de grado es vital para maximizar los aportes de las/os obstétricas/os a la salud pública. La capacitación continua y el trabajo articulado entre centros de formación y el sistema de salud asegurarán coherencia y sinergia entre los espacios educativos y de atención, dignificando la profesión y mejorando la salud de las personas.
The Mediating Role of Customer Satisfaction Between Dimensions of CSR and Customer Loyalty
Authors: Sadegh Mohammadsadegh Omidvar , Deen Anisah
Published: January 2025

Customer satisfaction and customer loyalty are essential attributes of corporate social responsibility (CSR) which build up competitive advantage. While existing research emphasizes the importance of these attributes, few studies explore how customer loyalty is affected by various dimensions of CSR. This study examines the mediating role of customer satisfaction between the CSR dimensions identified by Carroll as well as environmental responsibility and customer loyalty in the restaurant industry. The conceptual model representing these relationships was tested using a structural equation model and data collected from 247 customers visiting restaurants in the city of Tehran. Four dimensions of CSR — economic, legal, ethical and environmental — were found to significantly affect customer satisfaction. Results also show that customer satisfaction plays a mediating role in the relationship between economic responsibility, environmental responsibility and customer loyalty. This study adds the dimension of environmental responsibility to Carroll’s pyramid of CSR and gives a clearer guidance to restaurant managers as to which environmental responsibilities can increase the customer satisfaction.
