          Abstract

          Resumen: El objetivo es analizar las condicionantes sociales y de cuidado ante el COVID-19 en zonas agrícolas de Baja California y Sonora, México. La investigación, realizada de junio de 2020 a julio de 2021, fue de corte cualitativo por medio de 34 entrevistas semiestructuradas a personas que laboraron en campos agrícolas durante los primeros meses de la pandemia. El acceso a los sistemas locales de salud formal fue insuficiente en algunos momentos, pero también hubo resistencia a utilizarlos, y prefirieron poner en práctica saberes de medicina tradicional. Las precarias condiciones de las viviendas, el hacinamiento y las dificultades de acceso a los servicios públicos, como agua entubada, obstaculizaron las prácticas de prevención que se implementaron. Las condiciones de vulnerabilidad social contribuyeron para que en estas comunidades agrícolas se siguiera trabajando para sobrevivir, mientras que las precarias condiciones de vida imposibilitaron el cuidado cotidiano centrado en el distanciamiento social.

          Abstract: The objective is to analyze the social and care conditions before COVID-19 in agricultural communities of Baja California and Sonora, Mexico. The research carried out from June 2020 to July 2021 was qualitative, for which 34 semi-structured interviews were conducted with people who were working in agricultural fields during the first months of the pandemic. Access to local formal health systems was inefficient, in addition to an evident resistance to using them, so traditional medicine practices were implemented. The precarious conditions of the houses, the overcrowding and the difficulties of access to public services, such as piped water, hampered the prevention practices that were implemented. The conditions of social vulnerability contributed so that in these agricultural communities they continued working to survive, while the precarious living conditions made daily care focused on social distancing impossible.

          Epidemiology, causes, clinical manifestation and diagnosis, prevention and control of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) during the early outbreak period: a scoping review

          Background The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China beginning in December 2019. As of 31 January 2020, this epidemic had spread to 19 countries with 11 791 confirmed cases, including 213 deaths. The World Health Organization has declared it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Methods A scoping review was conducted following the methodological framework suggested by Arksey and O’Malley. In this scoping review, 65 research articles published before 31 January 2020 were analyzed and discussed to better understand the epidemiology, causes, clinical diagnosis, prevention and control of this virus. The research domains, dates of publication, journal language, authors’ affiliations, and methodological characteristics were included in the analysis. All the findings and statements in this review regarding the outbreak are based on published information as listed in the references. Results Most of the publications were written using the English language (89.2%). The largest proportion of published articles were related to causes (38.5%) and a majority (67.7%) were published by Chinese scholars. Research articles initially focused on causes, but over time there was an increase of the articles related to prevention and control. Studies thus far have shown that the virus’ origination is in connection to a seafood market in Wuhan, but specific animal associations have not been confirmed. Reported symptoms include fever, cough, fatigue, pneumonia, headache, diarrhea, hemoptysis, and dyspnea. Preventive measures such as masks, hand hygiene practices, avoidance of public contact, case detection, contact tracing, and quarantines have been discussed as ways to reduce transmission. To date, no specific antiviral treatment has proven effective; hence, infected people primarily rely on symptomatic treatment and supportive care. Conclusions There has been a rapid surge in research in response to the outbreak of COVID-19. During this early period, published research primarily explored the epidemiology, causes, clinical manifestation and diagnosis, as well as prevention and control of the novel coronavirus. Although these studies are relevant to control the current public emergency, more high-quality research is needed to provide valid and reliable ways to manage this kind of public health emergency in both the short- and long-term.

            Using Zoom Videoconferencing for Qualitative Data Collection: Perceptions and Experiences of Researchers and Participants

            Advances in communication technologies offer new opportunities for the conduct of qualitative research. Among these, Zoom—an innovative videoconferencing platform—has a number of unique features that enhance its potential appeal to qualitative and mixed-methods researchers. Although studies have explored the use of information and communication technologies for conducting research, few have explored both researcher and participant perspectives on the use of web and videoconferencing platforms. Further, data are lacking on the benefits and challenges of using Zoom as a data collection method. In this study, we explore the feasibility and acceptability of using Zoom to collect qualitative interview data within a health research context in order to better understand its suitability for qualitative and mixed-methods researchers. We asked 16 practice nurses who participated in online qualitative interviews about their experiences of using Zoom and concurrently recorded researcher observations. Although several participants experienced technical difficulties, most described their interview experience as highly satisfactory and generally rated Zoom above alternative interviewing mediums such as face-to-face, telephone, and other videoconferencing services, platforms, and products. Findings suggest the viability of Zoom as a tool for collection of qualitative data because of its relative ease of use, cost-effectiveness, data management features, and security options. Further research exploring the utility of Zoom is recommended in order to critically assess and advance innovations in online methods.
