Trayectorias Y Retraso Diagnóstico Del Cáncer en Servicios De Salud De Chile, Colombia Y Ecuador
Participatory action research for adapting an integrated care intervention to reduce cancer diagnosis delays
Fragmentation of healthcare in Latin America (including Ecuador) causes delays in cancer diagnosis, especially among vulnerable populations. The context of this study was the EU-funded EquityCancer-LA project, and we aimed to describe the co-design process and adaptation of an integrated care intervention to reduce cancer diagnosis delays in Quito. These study's results target the population of Quito, Ecuador, aiming to reduce cancer diagnosis de…
Understanding the health system drivers of delayed cancer diagnosis in public healthcare networks of Chile, Colombia and Ecuador
Although the greatest delays in cancer diagnosis in Latin America occur in the provider interval little is known about the related factors. This study aims to analyze factors influencing access to cancer diagnosis -from initial contact with health services to confirmation- from institutional stakeholders' perspective in public healthcare networks of Chile, Colombia, and Ecuador. A qualitative, descriptive-interpretative study was conducted in two…
Social Determinants as Mediators of the Emotional State of People With Type 2 Diabetes and/or Hypertension During the Covid‐19 Pandemic in Ecuador and Spain
INTRODUCTION: We aimed to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting restrictions on the emotional state of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and/or hypertension in Ecuador and Spain. Given the differences in sociopolitical and socioeconomic contexts between these two countries, the research focused on how these diverse environments and their management of social policies and pandemic strategies influenced the emotion…
Access to health services for chronic disease care during the Covid-19 pandemic in Ecuador
This qualitative study aims to explore how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted healthcare access for patients with chronic conditions in Ecuador from the patient's perspective. We interviewed 19 patients diagnosed with arterial hypertension or type 2 diabetes in rural and urban areas of Ecuador during August and September 2020. We used the Framework Method to analyse the interview transcripts with ATLAS.Ti 8.4 and organised the ideas discussed using c…
Social Inequalities in Mental Health and Self-Perceived Health in the First Wave of Covid-19 Lockdown in Latin America and Spain
COVID-19 lockdowns greatly affected the mental health of populations and collectives. This study compares the mental health and self-perceived health in five countries of Latin America and Spain, during the first wave of COVID 19 lockdown, according to social axes of inequality. This was a cross-sectional study using an online, self-managed survey in Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Spain. Self-perceived health (SPH), anxiety (measured t…
Prevalence and gender disparities of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity in Esmeraldas, Ecuador
We found alarming differences between the prevalence of T2DM and obesity in women and men that may be explained by gender roles, exacerbated in the rural context. Health promotion measures with a gender perspective should be adapted according to the characteristics of isolated rural contexts
What are the effects of energy poverty and interventions to ameliorate it on people's health and well-being
Effectiveness of an Energy-Counseling Intervention in Reducing Energy Poverty
Energy poverty, its intensity and health in vulnerable populations in a Southern European city
To describe and compare the health status between vulnerable population participating in a program to tackle energy poverty (Energía, la justa) and the non-energy poor Barcelona (Spain) population and to analyse among participants the effect of energy poverty intensity on health. Cross-sectional study based on data from program participants obtained before the intervention. Participants (1799 women and 671 men) were compared to non-energy poor po…
The association of energy poverty with health, health care utilisation and medication use in southern Europe
Energy poverty (EP) is defined as the inability of a household to secure a socially and materially required level of energy services in the home. The main objective of this study was to analyse the association between EP and distinct indicators of health status, health services utilisation and medication use in southern Europe, using the city of Barcelona as a case study. We conducted a cross-sectional study using the data of the Barcelona Health…
Energy poverty and health
The aim of this study is to analyse the time trends in the European Union (EU) before and during the economic crisis in 1) the energy poverty (EP) prevalence; 2) the association between EP and health and 3) the impact of EP on health. We analyse trends among women and men in two EU macro regions, defined by a novel index of structural vulnerability to EP. The study shows how EP and its impact on health worsened during the economic crisis and iden…
Perceived pathways between tourism gentrification and health
Midiendo los procesos de gentrificación en Barcelona y Madrid
Las ciudades occidentales están experimentando intensas transformaciones en su configuración socio-espacial. Por un lado, los espacios exclusivos se expanden rápidamente desde los centros metropolitanos, de la mano de una inmigración cada vez más cualificada y de un contexto de resurgimiento de los espacios centrales vinculado a la localización de nuevas actividades productivas y a la concentración de enclaves culturales, creativos y de innovació…
