Methods: the sample consisted of 200 students of the FES Zaragoza (UNAM). The Systematic Inventory of Academic Stress (SISCO) was used to obtain the data. Results: it was found that the environmental stimuli most frequently identified as stressors were work overload, teacher evaluations, as well as the character and personality of the teachers. The most frequent stress indicators are sleep disorders, chronic fatigue, and drowsiness. Being thus the most frequently used coping strategies, assertive ability, elaboration of a plan and execution of their tasks as well as self-praise. Conclusions: it can be concluded that there are differences in the frequency of presentation of the characteristics of academic stress, the importance of these is highlighted, since this will allow implementing some solutions such as the design and implementation of workshops or programs for better stress management in the academic environment with this type of population.

However, this leads to a confrontation of sick people against their social group since an invisible and controlling force shapes and leads the patient into developing a disposition opposed to their required treatment plan, this element is better known as culture. The purpose of this study is to encourage reflection about the influence of culture in the lack of control regarding this type of diseases. It is proposed to differentiate between disease and illness, calling patient when treating the disease and sufferer when treating the illness. Hence, treating the suf ferer includes considering worries, fears, beliefs, expectations, emotions, and feelings, as well as repercussions of the disease on their life. To proof this statement, the concept of culture is described and conceptualized, as well as its function, and why it is of vital importance to intervene in the socio-cultural context of the sufferer.

Para esto, se realizó un rastreo de información con motores de búsqueda en internet. La selección de los documentos identificados fue conforme a lo requerido para el estudio; los hallazgos se examinaron, compararon y analizaron; posteriormente se efectúo una sinopsis. Se presentan aspectos sobresalientes que sitúan a la diabetes mellitus como un problema de salud pública, su epidemiología, los determinantes causales de la misma, los factores de riesgo, los estilos de vida, las secuelas de la enfermedad, el manejo no farmacológico y las acciones para evitarla. Además, evidencia los vacíos de atención para la salud, la multicausalidad de la enfermedad y de sus complicaciones, así como, la complejidad de su manejo y prevención, con propuestas de i...

Lo anterior demanda un modelo de atencion medica diferente al establecido para atender enfermedades agudas y transmisibles, en las que el individuo enfermo puede recuperar su salud en un tiempo relativamente corto, no asi en las enfermedades cronicas, en las que el individuo enfermo las “padece” por tiempo prolongado, con grandes repercusiones en su vida familiar, laboral y social. Proponemos utilizar el termino “paciente” para los individuos con enfermedad aguda o trasmisible y “padeciente” para aquellos con padecimientos cronicos, lo cual implica la exploracion de nuevas alternativas para la atencion medica efectiva

Son importantes en todos los aspectos de la vida, pues influyen en las relaciones interpersonales y la forma en que enfrentamos la realidad. Segun Spranger, existen seis tipos basicos de valores: teorico/cientifico, estetico, religioso/espiritual, politico, economico y social/humanistico. Los profesionales de la medicina deben contar con valores bien arraigados, tanto humanisticos como cientificos, para un buen desempeno con sus pacientes. Estos valores deberian estar presentes en los estudiantes de medicina y fomentarse en su formacion profesional. Realizamos un estudio descriptivo en 75 alumnos del primer ano de la Carrera de Medico Cirujano de la FES (Facultad de Estudios Superiores) Zaragoza, UNAM (Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico), con el fin de identificar los valores predominantes. Los valores mas altos fueron los teoricos, mientras que los mas...

La DM provoca complicaciones que trastornan la calidad de vida y llevan a una muerte prematura, además de generar costos elevados para su atención. Los enfermos con DM realizan atribuciones causales acerca de su enfermedad, y conocerlas ayuda a explicar y entender lo que le pasa al enfermo y permite llevar a cabo acciones preventivas. Objetivo: Diseñar y validar un instrumento que permita conocer las atribuciones causales que los enfermos con DM realizan en relación a sus complicaciones crónicas. Métodos: Se desarrolló una escala tipo Likert de 36 ítems y se sometió a validación de contenido por 10 jueces de varias disciplinas del área de la salud. Resultados: Los ítems que fueron calificados con un porcentaje superior o igual a 80 en las categorías de suficiencia, claridad, cohe...
