Authors: Beltrán Salazar Óscar Alberto 
Published: April 2023

Objective: to describe the patients meaning of the experience of being hospitalized in an ICU.
Methodology: research study with phenomenological focus of nine mature people between 24 and 80 years of age who were critically sick and hospitalized in an ICU. The in- depth interview and non participant observation were the techniques for gathering information. The data were analyzed according to the outline proposed by Cohen, Kahan and Steeves. The study was carried out in Medellín, Colombia from April to October, 2006.
Results and discussion: the ICU is a place for loneliness, cold, special odor and silence where words were “absent”, “incomprehensible”, “not for hearing”, “not pronounced” and “agreeable”. The communication was not always adequate and the company was offered by other sick people; besides, patient played a secondary role in front of technology and was necessary to be “good patient”.
Conclusions: the hospitalization meant to be alone, isolated of the family, surrounded by other patients and the team of health members whose company sometimes was not enough. Staying in an ICU adds to the suffering during a serious illness
THE SO-CALLED “QUALITATIVE RESEARCH”: FROM THEIR EVOLUTION DYNAMICS TO THEIR UNDENIABLE ACHIEVEMENTS AND PRESENT CHALLENGES
Authors: Anadón Marta 
Published: April 2023

This document summarizes an analysis regarding studies classified as “qualitative”, research that is not independent from the general trend of developed social studies. Particularly, this study emphasizes that the qualitative focuses within studies have solidified their place in genuine science. Within these “qualitative” approaches, and procedures have become well established and even a point of reference for scientific analyses. This new balance within science brings us to think about these advancements because these qualitative studies, with aims to understand the diversity of human expression (within arts, dance, literature, and other esthetic forms), currently have been degraded with the outbreak of uncontrolled research aimed to disprove or legitimize claims.

Published: April 2023

Objective: to understand the process of receiving emergency care services for patients and their families.
Methodology: the research was performed with adult people from both genders who consulted the emergency room services in the city of Medellin (Colombia). A qualitative focus was used with focalized ethnographic tools, 9 interviews and 50 observation hours were conducted. The analysis was done from the field journals and interviews, codes were extracted and then grouped in categories that best represented the studied phenomenon.
Results: people assist to the emergency service looking for care, but when they get there they find themselves with a series of barriers that should be handled to be able to be admitted, to receive information and to be accompanied. In the emergency service there is a disagreement between three views: the first one is the one from the participants who consider it inhuman, the second one is the health system one that ensures timely and quality care, and the third one is the one shown in other researches: they have found access barriers for admission and information.
Conclusion: there are a number of barriers for patients to receive care in the emergency room services in the studied institutions.

Objective: to determine the overweight, obesity and dyslipidemias prevalence at a mexican northeastern university population.
Methodology: transversal cut descriptive study; stratified randomized sampling was made with proportional assignation of 292 people. Blood samples were taken to determine total cholesterol, low and high density lipoproteins, weight and height were measured to cal culate the body mass index (BMI).
Results: a total prevalence of 31,2% overweight was found (45.8% in men and 22.4% in women) and 15.1% of obesity. The hypercholesterolemia global prevalence was of 23.6% (31.4% in men and 18.4% in women) Being higher in manual workers and managers (53.8% and 52.8%, respectively). The people’s BMI above the normal range have 2.55 times the risk of dyslipidemia compared to the ones who have a normal weight (IC95:1.46–4.46). The multivariate analysis showed significant differences for the variables: total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein and triglycerides between the two groups compared; finally the Tuckey Post Hoc analysis showed significant differences in total colesterol and high and low density lipoproteins between normal weight and overweight.
Conclusion: there is ahigher prevalence of obesity in men than in women, the association between obesity and total colesterol suggests a bigger cardiovascular disease risk.
