Colombia presents a progressive increase in overweight and abdominal obesity in adults, with a higher impact on women.\u0000Objective. To design percentile curves of the waist-height index of Colombian adults by sex and age.\u0000Materials and methods. We did a secondary analysis of the data from the Encuesta Nacional de la Situación Nutricional 2015, which contained waist, weight, and height measurements of adults between 20 and 60 years of age. Generalized additive location, scale and shape additive models with box-cox power exponential transformation to construct the curves. An internal validation was performed to ensure the models fit the data.\u0000Results. We studied 23,759 multiethnic adults from Colombia, 49.8% of whom were women. The waist-height index curves of men were visualized with slight curvature, while those of women appeared flatter. The median waist-height index increased continuously in both sexes: up to 45 years in women (0.45 to 0.49) and up to 55 years in men (0.44 to 0.49). In men, a value of 0.50 was maintained after 55 years, but not in women, since it remained at 0.50 until 53 years and thereafter increased to 0.51.\u0000Conclusion. The curves fitted with the box-cox power exponential distribution explained the increasing behavior of the waist-height index by age and sex and the predictive capacity of the model. The total increase in the median of the waist-height index by age and sex was similar and incremental (women: 0.45-0.51; men: 0.44-0.50).","PeriodicalId":101322,"journal":{"name":"Biomedica : revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud","volume":"45 2","pages":"228-243"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144268368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected from December 2018 to March 2019 using separate focus groups of victims and workers. Thematic content analysis established five deductive categories: perceptions of mental health; the impact of forced displacement and its relationship with mental health; knowledge or perception of institutional support; community networks; and knowledge or perception of the state measures concerning care, assistance, and reparation. We also included some inductive categories that emerged from the analysis.Results: Victims demonstrated deteriorated mental health, expressed by emotional, cognitive, and behavioural disturbances. Many of these conducts were exacerbated by the traumatic stress of displacement and exposure to other forms of violence, in addition to social and material deprivation. Emotional avoidance and active search for self-improvement emerged as coping mechanisms used by the victims. Workers experienced high levels of stress assisting trauma victims, and they also needed support for their mental health.Conclusions: The findings showed complex and mainly negative impacts on mental health in both groups. Interventions should aim to address poor mental health and strengthen cultural identity and support networks for victims.","PeriodicalId":101322,"journal":{"name":"Biomedica : revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud","volume":"45 1","pages":"133-150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12200218/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144000992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To determine and describe the relationship between teamwork and burnout perceived by health workers from a tertiary-level hospital in Colombia.\u0000Materials and methods. We conducted a cross-sectional, observational, analytical study with a convenience sample of 510 participants. We applied the TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Perceptions Questionnaire and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory to assess burnout. An additional survey was conducted to collect demographic and employment data. Data was collected digitally. Descriptive analyses were carried out to compare teamwork and burnout across units, by occupation, and according to the average number of hours worked per week. Finally, correlation matrices were calculated with the scores from both tests.\u0000Results. Teamwork levels were moderate to high, and 31.4% of workers reported moderate or high levels of burnout. No significant differences were found based on sex or work unit. Results from the TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Perceptions Questionnaire and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory were correlated with a low and moderate strength of association, showing an inverse relationship between them.\u0000Conclusion. Teamwork and burnout may have an inverse relationship, where better teamwork results in a lower perception of burnout among healthcare workers.

Entomological indices were calculated to monitor mosquito population dynamics, and the infection frequency of the captured mosquitoes with dengue, zika, and chikungunya virus were assessed. The rates of trap approval and adherence were evaluated, and risk maps were developed based on mosquito abundance. These maps facilitated the identification of specific areas for targeted vector control interventions.Results: A total of 1,475 mosquitoes were captured, of which 99.1% were identified as A. aegypti. The trap positivity index ranged from 85.7 to 42.9% per inspection, with a mean female Aedes index of two to three mosquitoes per house. Evidence of Ae. aegypti infestation was observed in both neighborhoods, although specific hotspots of high mosquito abundance were identified. No viral infection was detected in the captured mosquitoes.Conclusions: MosquiTRAP™ traps are useful for Ae. aegypti surveillance as a potential tool to guide vector control and prevention measures for diseases transmitted by this mosquito species.","PeriodicalId":101322,"journal":{"name":"Biomedica : revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud","volume":"45 1","pages":"118-132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12187046/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144039678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study sample included nursing students who met the inclusion criteria (n = 369). Data were collected using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Self-Handicapping Scale, and Self-Compassion Scale questionnaires.Results: The questionnaire scores of the nursing students were above the average, with 63.91 ± 14.54 for the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and 82.68 ± 11.32 for the Self-Handicapping Scale; their self-compassion level was high, with a mean of 13.92 ± 2.87 points on the Self-Compassion Scale. We found a significant negative correlation between the mean scores of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (r = -0.409; p = 0.000) and the Self-Compassion Scale (r = -0.524; p = 0.000) with the Self-Handicapping Scale. We also obtained a positive and significant correlation between the mean scores of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and the Self-Compassion Scale (r = 0.486; p = 0.000). According to the regression analysis, the effect of these two scales on the Self-Compassion Scale was 30.2%.Conclusions: Considering the study results, we can argue that as the students' resilience and self-compassion increase, their tendency to self-handicap decreases. For health professionals and patients' safety, it is very important to determine the levels of resilience, self-handicapping, and self-compassion because these factors may increase anxiety and stress in nursing students, affecting the proper care of patients during the work period.","PeriodicalId":101322,"journal":{"name":"Biomedica : revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud","volume":"45 1","pages":"39-50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12173476/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144049819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
