          Abstract

          RESUMEN: Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de la COVID-19 en el personal de enfermería, las condiciones de trabajo y sus factores asociados en tres hospitales de Lima-Perú. Método: Estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo de corte transversal del tipo web-survey realizado entre los meses de noviembre 2020 a febrero de 2021 con la participación de 495 integrantes del personal de enfermería de tres hospitales públicos de la ciudad de Lima. Resultados: El 63% de los participantes fueron del Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen, 20% del Hospital San Isidro Labrador, y 17% del Hospital II Vitarte. La prevalencia de la COVID-19 en el personal de enfermería fue de 47.3%. Al analizar las características demográficas de los participantes se evidenció asociación significativa de la variable escolaridad con la enfermedad (OR=1.50, p=0.04), mostrando que los que cuentan con estudios superiores tienen 1.5 veces mayor probabilidad de desarrollar la COVID-19 frente a los que poseen estudios de posgrado; las variables relacionadas con las condiciones de trabajo y factores de riesgo no evidenciaron asociación significativa (p>0.05) con la enfermedad. Conclusiones: A excepción de la escolaridad no existe evidencia suficiente para afirmar asociación significativa de la COVID-19 con las características demográficas, las variables relacionadas al trabajo y las consideradas como riesgo. La investigación aporta contribuciones importantes a la práctica, la investigación y la docencia en enfermería.

          ABSTRACT: Objective: To determinate the prevalence of COVID-19 in the nursing personnel, working conditions, and their associated factors in three hospitals in Lima-Peru. Method: A quantitative, descriptive cross-sectional study of the web survey was carried out between November 2020 and February 2021 with 495 nursing personnel members from the three public hospitals in Lima. Results: 63% of the participants were from the Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen National Hospital, 20% from the San Isidro Labrador Hospital, and 17% from the II Vitarte Hospital. The prevalence of COVID-19 in the nursing personnel was 47.3%. When analyzing the demographic characteristics of the participants, a significant association of the education variable with the disease was evidenced (OR=1.50, p =0.04), showing that those with higher education are 1.5 times more likely to develop COVID-19 compared to those with postgraduate studies; the variables related to working conditions and risk factors did not show a significant association (p>0.05) with the disease. Conclusions: Except for education, there is insufficient evidence to affirm a significant association of COVID-19 with demographic characteristics, work-related variables, and those considered a risk. This research makes significant contributions to nursing practice, research, and teaching.

          COVID-19 in people with diabetes: understanding the reasons for worse outcomes

          Summary Since the initial COVID-19 outbreak in China, much attention has focused on people with diabetes because of poor prognosis in those with the infection. Initial reports were mainly on people with type 2 diabetes, although recent surveys have shown that individuals with type 1 diabetes are also at risk of severe COVID-19. The reason for worse prognosis in people with diabetes is likely to be multifactorial, thus reflecting the syndromic nature of diabetes. Age, sex, ethnicity, comorbidities such as hypertension and cardiovascular disease, obesity, and a pro-inflammatory and pro-coagulative state all probably contribute to the risk of worse outcomes. Glucose-lowering agents and anti-viral treatments can modulate the risk, but limitations to their use and potential interactions with COVID-19 treatments should be carefully assessed. Finally, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection itself might represent a worsening factor for people with diabetes, as it can precipitate acute metabolic complications through direct negative effects on β-cell function. These effects on β-cell function might also cause diabetic ketoacidosis in individuals with diabetes, hyperglycaemia at hospital admission in individuals with unknown history of diabetes, and potentially new-onset diabetes.

            Diabetes in COVID-19: Prevalence, pathophysiology, prognosis and practical considerations

            Background and aims High prevalence of diabetes makes it an important comorbidity in patients with COVID-19. We sought to review and analyze the data regarding the association between diabetes and COVID-19, pathophysiology of the disease in diabetes and management of patients with diabetes who develop COVID-19 infection. Methods PubMed database and Google Scholar were searched using the key terms ‘COVID-19’, ‘SARS-CoV-2’, ‘diabetes’, ‘antidiabetic therapy’ up to April 2, 2020. Full texts of the retrieved articles were accessed. Results There is evidence of increased incidence and severity of COVID-19 in patients with diabetes. COVID-19 could have effect on the pathophysiology of diabetes. Blood glucose control is important not only for patients who are infected with COVID-19, but also for those without the disease. Innovations like telemedicine are useful to treat patients with diabetes in today’s times.

              Covid‐19: Supporting nurses’ psychological and mental health

              Abstract At the time of writing (11th April 2020) there are 1.72 million Covid‐19 infections and 104,889 deaths worldwide. In the UK the first recorded death was on the 5th of March 2020 and in just 37 days 9,875 deaths in hospital have been recorded. The 10th of April saw the highest number of UK daily deaths (980) to date. These UK figures do not include those who died in care homes or in the community. Similar death rates have been experienced in China earlier this year (3,339) and are rising globally with particularly high death rates in the US (18,761 with over half of deaths in New York State), Italy (18,939), Spain (16,353) and France (13,197).
