Of the virtual as a promotor of interpretations in the acting of the contemporary subject
Get PDFA reflection on the concept of the virtual from a psychoanalytic perspective is elaborated, and its epistemological trajectory up to the present day is analyzed in order to identify its composition and its elements in relation to the structure of the subject, in order to locate its participation in the mechanisms of interpretation of the unconscious in psychoanalytic devices. Starting from the axiom that psychoanalysis is a praxis dedicated to acts, especially failed ones, and that the virtual, proposed as a performance without act, provides a power detached from signification, it is proposed that it finds expressions constituted either as symptoms -which are the ones of interest here, as language phenomena-, or as social representation scenarios such as "virtual reality", "virtualization phenomena", or "virtuality". The pertinence of this approach is sustained to the extent that the virtual has acquired not only a greater weight in the constitution of social relations, but its semblance is already seen as an inescapable factor to deepen the interpretation of that knowledge not known, or not wanted to know, of the subject of the unconsciou
Treatment abandonment-continuity factors
Get PDFAdherence to medical treatment is a fundamental process for patient well-being, but can be affected by a number of factors both internal and external. Factors that can influence adherence include economic and social problems, urgency of treatment, fear of side effects, and the stigma associated with the disease. The importance of establishing a collaborative relationship and therapeutic alliance between the patient and the health professional to improve adherence is emphasized. The need for awareness on the part of both health care actors is highlighted, recognizing that therapeutic adherence is fundamental for successful treatment. The importance of overcoming the economic gap and patient resistance to spending to ensure effective medical care is also suggeste
Use of videos as a method of learning in social service projects
Get PDFThe impulse that accelerated the adoption of digital resources in education was the COVID-19, although many teachers and students were already using these resources effectively, they did not represent the majority and did not cover all educational levels, the transition was gradual, which required a great effort from both parties and everyone had to use new resources and digital tools to meet current educational demands, in addition to using teaching-learning strategies, which resulted in new skills and better opportunities for professional development. The support and collaboration between different areas and disciplines was fundamental for the success of education in this new modality. The use of video as a virtual learning resource is one of the challenges that add to this experience of digital transformation, in which the teacher must face the current challenges with the intention of innovating and adapting to changes quickly. The purpose of this project is to describe the process of creating a didactic video to reinforce the knowledge of a particular subject

The dynamic nature of scientific knowledge: an epistemological look at the research activity of human hand anthropometry
Get PDFThis research focuses on analyzing the dynamic nature of scientific knowledge from an epistemological perspective, focusing specifically on anthropometric research of the human hand. The main objective of this study is to examine how knowledge is generated and evolves in this field, in the light of epistemological theories such as Lakatos\u27. Key concepts of epistemology and philosophy of science are addressed, including the theories of Lakatos, Popper, Kuhn and Feyerabend. Subsequently, Lakatos\u27 theory of Scientific Investigation Programs (SIPs) is applied to the field of hand anthropometry, identifying its fundamental core (which refers to the belief in the relevance of hand measurements) and its protective belt (comprising auxiliary theories and methods). It discusses how both heuristics and empirical evidence drive the evolution of knowledge in this field, also emphasizing the importance of creative inquiry, scientific debate, and methodological rigor. Ultimately, it is concluded that anthropometric research eloquently exemplifies the inherent dynamic nature of scientific knowledg
Condition, Working Environment and Health Effects on the Medical Personnel
Get PDFObjective: the objective of this investigation was to determine the conditions, work environment and the effects on health in the medical personnel of a health center located in the Carabobo State - Venezuela, during the year 2022.Method: it was carried out within the positivist paradigm, quantitative approach, under a field study, observational design, descriptive level and cross section; the population was made up of 47 workers; An intentional non-probabilistic sampling was applied, leaving the sample represented by 41 workers, the inclusion criteria being that they wished to participate in the research and that they were not on leave due to comorbidity.Results: through the tools: number 11 and 14 of the Manual for Managers and Administrators: Health and Safety of Workers in the Health Sector, it was determined that medical personnel are exposed to occupational risks such as physical, chemical, psychosocial, biological, mechanical , non-ergonomic and those related to the content and organization of work, resulting in a serious danger to your health; in addition, the referred effects survey was applied to establish the health effects, estimating the mean at 2,38; therefore, there were references from workers with great concerns about their health.Conclusion: therefore, it is necessary to design strategies both at the organizational and individual level, on the working conditions and environment, to reduce the adverse effects on the health of workers that these could generate
The impact of fibromyalgia on society
Get PDFFibromyalgia is a disease characterized by intense generalized chronic musculoskeletal pain. Its etiology is not known and there is no curative treatment but only symptomatic and focused on pain management. The lack of empathy on the part of family, work, friends, and health professionals increases the psychosocial discomfort. Educating the population and health professionals on the behavior of the disease could be an opportunity to improve social ties, including friendships, family, health, and work. The development of the community approach in the study of fibromyalgia is of significant importance in the understanding and management of this complex chronic disease. Fibromyalgia not only affects the individual sufferer, but also has a profound impact on their social and family environment. By adopting a community approach, it is recognized that community support and understanding is crucial to improving the quality of life for those living with fibromyalgia. This approach involves building support networks and promoting public awareness of fibromyalgia, which in turn reduces the stigma associated with the disease. In addition, the development of community education programs and support groups can help empower people with fibromyalgia to better manage their symptoms and find effective coping strategie
Empathy in nursing professionals for care subjects with depression
Get PDFIntroduction: empathy in nursing professionals and its impact on quality of care, as well as the challenges they face, are highlighted. Compassion fatigue" due to frequent use of empathy is explored. The study seeks to improve communication and empathic care, especially in patients with psychological health disturbance. The research aims to identify strategies for better care management. Methods: a literature search was conducted in PubMed with the keywords "empathy", "empathy", "nursing" and "depression", establishing inclusion and exclusion criteria to select 7 relevant articles on empathy in nursing professionals for care subjects with depression in the last 5 years and open access. Results: the studies provide valuable information on the psychological health of health professionals and the importance of empathy in their practice. The results highlight the need to implement effective interventions to improve the mental health of these professionals and their empathic capacity in patient care. Conclusions: empathy is crucial in nursing care, but the presence of negative mental states, such as depression, can affect it. The high prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders in mental health also influences empathy towards patients with eating disorders. Addressing stress, burnout, and stigma is essential to improve empathy in health professional practice and benefit patient
Rehabilitation of occupational stress from the perspective of Health Education
Get PDFJob stress is linked to mental, physiological and neurobiological alterations that contribute to the development of cognitive problems and the depletion of workers\u27 health. This problem has led to an increase in prolonged periods of work inactivity, the emergence of chronic diseases, unfortunate occupational accidents and even, in the most serious cases, the loss of human lives. This tragic situation could be prevented to a large extent through solid Health Promotion and Education. The paper we present adopts a critical perspective with respect to Health Education, considering it not only as a preventive strategy that disseminates information and seeks to maintain optimal health in the economically active population, but also as an interdisciplinary task that involves the redesign of the work organization. Emphasizes the complexity of this alternative approach and its importance in addressing work-related stress more effectivel
The educational and pedagogical intervention in scientific research
Get PDFEducational intervention requires professionals to act responsibly by employing methods and procedures that ensure appropriate outcomes. In addition, they must submit their interventions to an analysis based on scientific research for accurate evaluation. It is important to note that educational intervention and pedagogical intervention are not identical concepts, and it is necessary to establish the differences between the two. Educational intervention implies respecting the agency of the learner, which means that the educator\u27s actions should result in a response on the part of the learner that does not necessarily have to be intentionally educational in nature, but may be a genuine outcome. On the other hand, pedagogical intervention refers to intentional actions that are carried out in the context of the educational task, with the purpose of achieving objectives and using resources supported by sound knowledge about education and the functioning of the educational system. This paper addresses the uniqueness of educational intervention and highlights its strength and validity when based on scientific researc
