    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Enfermería, 2024-10-03) Montaguano PLaza, Nelly Tannia; Velasco Acurio, Evelin Fernanda
    Introduction: alcohol and tobacco, present in society for centuries, represent serious risks during pregnancy. Alcohol can cause serious fetal disorders, such as FASD, while tobacco is linked to low birth weight and breathing problems. Both increase the probability of premature birth and neonatal complications, requiring preventive actions and urgent treatment. Objective: to determine neonatal complications in pregnant women with alcohol and tobacco addiction. Methodology: it is a literature review of the literature between 2019 and 2024. Academic databases such as Sciencie Direct, Google Scholar, SciELO, PubMed and Boolean operators were used to broaden the search. The PRISMA method is used to assess the quality of the studies. Results: the initial information search revealed a total set of 1532 articles, of which 60 met the eligibility criteria. Of these, 46 were not relevant, leaving a total of 15 records that contributed to the fulfillment of the study objectives and were used to carry out the meta-analysis.

    Causas de las infecciones vaginales en mujeres embarazadas
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2023-03-01) Peñaranda Pérez, Erick Santiago; Noriega Puga, Vicente RubénDr. Mg.
    Introduction: Pregnant women are prone to acquiring infections, being the affections to the female reproductive system the most common, due to various factors. In this way, the causes, consequences, and types of infections attributed to the female reproductive system (vagina) are described below. Material and methods: A bibliographic study was carried out through articles, books and information certified as reliable on digital platforms such as Google Scholar, PubMed and Latindex in each period. Results: According to studies carried out, pregnant women today have good knowledge about vaginal infection, causes and the processes involved in acquiring it, but there is a lack of knowledge about its repercussions. In addition, another study emphasizes the poor feedback of information regarding the subject and associates it with the early age of women in entering a pregnant period. Discussion: The knowledge of pregnant women is mediated by technological means such as social networks, blogs, and web pages on the Internet. At the same time, the information collected by pregnant women is implicitly completely true, causing gaps in adequate knowledge about vaginal infections in pregnant women. Detection and prevention is mediated through laboratory analysis and the lifestyle of pregnant women, there being a wide variety of techniques and methods for the detection and identification of pathogens of vaginal infections, the main ones being those techniques and methods in samples of blood, urine and cervicovaginal secretion. Conclusion: The information found on the subject in question must be verified and consulted to guarantee correct knowledge of its effectiveness when identifying or preventing any infection in such a delicate period.

    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Enfermería, 2022-03-01) Tandalla Toapanta, Gissela Paola; Cusme Torres, Nadiehzka Amanda Lic. Mg.
    Objective: The level of knowledge of mothers about neonatal screening to detect congenital metabolic diseases attending the local health center was evaluated. Methodology: Quantitative study with a descriptive cross-sectional approach that applies the deductive method to generate conclusions from the results of the application of a survey to 45 selected participants through inclusion and exclusion criteria, respecting the bioethical principles of research in humans stipulated in the Declaration of Helsinki. Results and Discussion: After analyzing the information we can highlight that the study identified the predominant age between 21 to 30 years with 64.4%. The level of knowledge possessed by mothers is 84.4% in general characteristics and 31.1% in specific characteristics, while acceptance through the role played by the nurse obtained quite satisfactory levels, 100% say they have observed that. The nurse had all the materials available to carry out the test in this way, through the education and experience that the patient has, compliance with the examination is guaranteed. Conclusions: It is possible to identify the level of knowledge of the mothers who go to the health center to perform the screening test on their children, the level of knowledge is optimal when we talk about general characteristics, but we must emphasize in the education of the diseases that prevent examination and strengthen strategy
