Item Programa de entrenamiento respiratorio mediante Threshold IMT en adultos mayores con EPOC(2025-03-17) Guzmán López, Ángela del Rocío; Espín Pastor, Victoria Estefanía; Universidad Técnica de Ambato / Facultad de Ciencias de Salud / Centro de PosgradosItem Entrenamiento Respiratorio y sus efectos en el índice Bodex en pacientes con Enfermedad Pulmonar Obstructiva Crónica(2025-03-17) Carvajal Escobar, María Belén; Sandoval Velásquez, Gloria Gabriela; Universidad Técnica de Ambato / Facultad de Ciencias de Salud / Centro de PosgradosRespiratory training has emerged as a crucial strategy in the management of chronic respiratory diseases, especially in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This therapeutic approach aims to optimize lung function and improve quality of life through specific breathing techniques and physical exercise. The effectiveness of respiratory training can be evaluated using the BODE index, a comprehensive tool that measures the severity of COPD and its impact on patient health. Given the details outlined above, respiratory training can positively influence the components of the BODE index, providing a clear understanding of its benefits and its role in the treatment of COPD. Objective: To determine the impact of respiratory training on the BODE index in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Methods: To comprehensively evaluate the status of COPD, the BODE index was used. Lung function was measured using spirometry, while PImax was used to assess the strength of the inspiratory muscles and the elastic recoil of the lung tissue. Additionally, BMI was calculated considering the height and weight of each patient. Various scales, such as the mMRC, were used to assess dyspnea, and vital signs were monitored both at the beginning and at the end of respiratory training. Results: Respiratory training can lead to an improvement in the BODE index, with reductions in dyspnea symptoms and increased functional capacity. Patients showed an improvement in quality of life, a greater ability to perform daily activities, and a decrease in COPD exacerbations. Conclusions: Respiratory training represents an effective intervention for improving the BODE index and, consequently, the quality of life in patients with COPD. The implementation of respiratory training programs should be considered as an integral part of the management of COPD, with the aim of improving lung function, reducing dyspnea, and enhancing exercise capacity, contributing to better overall health and well-being of patients.Item Estimulación Cognitiva para personas adultas mayores en situación de pobreza.(Universdidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Centro de posgrados, 2021-09-01) Valencia Sánchez, Nilda Jazmina Ps. Cl.; Cueva Rubio, María AugustaPs. Cl. Mg.The objective of the current study was to implement a cognitive stimulation program that favors the development of autonomy and prevents cognitive deterioration in older adults living in poverty in the town of Juan Benigno Vela, for which a design of A quasi-experimental research with a quantitative approach of a longitudinal type and descriptive scope, twelve older adults participated and due to the health emergency, there was no control group. Cognitive function was measured by the Folstein Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), 1975. The intervention was carried out during ten sessions, in ten consecutive weeks, with an average duration of forty-five minutes. For the data analysis, the SPSS version 24 program is used. It was shown that cognitive stimulation significantly improves the cognition of the elderly (t = 5.29; p = .000), finding a significance in time orientation (t = 6.51; p = .000), orientation in space (t = 4.05; p = .002), attention in calculation (t = 3.34; p = .007), deferred memory (t = 3.44; p = .005), comprehension and execution of an order (t = 2.55; p = .027) and copy of a drawing (t = 2.35; p = .039). It is concluded that cognitive stimulation for older adults strengthens autonomy and independence in daily living activities and preventing cognitive deterioration.Item Calidad de vida y depresión en los adultos mayores del sector rural, parroquia Juan Benigno Vela.(Universdidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Centro de posgrados, 2021-04-01) Salvador Aguilar, Andrea Daniela Md.; Vela Chasiluisa, Mayra Alexandra Dra. Esp.In this context, the research seeks to demonstrate the relationship between depression and quality of life in the elderly in the rural parish of Juan Benigno Vela, depression is a mood disorder that interferes with the quality of life of 65-year-olds henceforth, depressive levels and dimensions of quality of life are investigated, and thus, assess at what level older adults are, from their own perspective (1). The elderly deserve a dignified life; however, this is not always the case, there are certain diseases such as depression that empower this group of people, affecting certain spheres such as social, physical and psychological (2). Therefore, the cause that affects the quality of life must be reversed, and thus restore health so that the person feels life positively (3). This research provides information on the relationship between depression and quality of life, which in the future will allow effective interventions that contribute to the health field.Item Calidad de vida y funcionalidad familiar en pacientes con hipertensión arterial(Universdidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Centro de posgrados, 2021-04-01) Carrillo Bayas, Gabriela Patricia Md.; Edwin Patricio , Llerena Guachambala Dr. Esp.Hypertension is a chronic, polygenic and multifactorial disease, which is defined as uncontrolled if the blood pressure values are ≥ 140/90 mmHg in all patients between 18 and 60 years and if the systolic blood pressure is ≥150 mmHg in patients> 60 years. Because there are hypertensive patients who do not meet the blood pressure goals and therefore have a higher risk of complications, previous research has determined that when a person suffers from some type of chronic disease, the evolution and response to treatment depends on the functioning family, we have seen the need to investigate this association. When talking about health we have to consider it as a process where the active participation of the individual, the family and the community is necessary. In 1976 a group of WHO experts defined family health as the health of all members in terms of effective family functioning. Communication, affectivity, development, adaptability, emotional, financial and information support are essential functions that have a positive effect on health recovery.
