RESUMEN Objetivo: adaptar el modelo de Kristen M. Swanson para el cuidado de enfermería en adultas mayores, enfocado en sus necesidades de salud, tomando como referencia la valoración integral y la interpretación de su vivencia. Método: el estudio fue cualitativo con enfoque hermenéutico. Se entrevistaron diez adultas mayores, de 65 a 84 años de edad, que asistían la Casa de Día en Toluca, a quienes se les aplicaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a profundidad, las cuales se transcribieron, codificaron y agruparon en las dimensiones de análisis de los contenidos centrales de cada unidad temática. Se tomó como referencia el círculo hermenéutico de Heidegger para la comprensión e interpretación de los códigos sustantivos. El análisis fue de contenido mediante la técnica del discurso. Resultados: son seis las categorías de cuidado identificadas en las acciones terapéuticas que intervienen para el logro del bienestar. El acompañamiento familiar, la esperanza, el movimiento, la orientación en salud, el diálogo terapéutico y el amor son factores que propician el bienestar de las mujeres mayores. La disposición de las categorías se organizaron en campos semánticos de donde emergieron tres dimensiones: la de ser mujer, adulta mayor y estrategias de afrontamiento, y el cuidado de enfermería. A partir del análisis hermenéutico se construyó el Modelo de Kristen Swanson para el cuidado de enfermería en adultas mayores con sus cinco procesos de cuidado: Mantener las creencias; El conocer; El estar con; El hacer por; y El permitir o posibilitar. Conclusión: el modelo de cuidado dirigido a mujeres mayores se fundamenta en: el diálogo, esperanza, movimiento y orientación de salud centrado en el ejercicio de la autonomía.

The objective was to evaluate the Modified Early Warning Score in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 plus chronic disease. Methods: Retrospective observational study, 430 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and chronic disease. Instrument, Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS). Data analysis, with Cox and logistic regression, to predict survival and risk. Results: Of 430 patients, 58.6% survived, and 41.4% did not. The risk was: low 53.5%, medium 23.7%, and high 22.8%. The MEWS score was similar between survivors 3.02, p 0.373 (95% CI: −0.225–0.597) and non-survivors 3.20 (95% CI: −0.224–0.597). There is a linear relationship between MEWS and mortality risk R 0.920, ANOVA 0.000, constant 4.713, and coefficient 4.406. The Cox Regression p 0.011, with a risk of deterioration of 0.325, with a positive coefficient, the higher the risk, the higher the mortality, while the invasive mechanical ventilation coefficient was negative −0.757. By providing oxygen and ventilation, mortality is lower. Conclusions: The predictive value of the modified early warning score in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 and chronic disease is not predictive with the MEWS scale. Additional assessment is required to prevent complications, especially when patients are assessed as low-risk.

Objective. To evaluate the nursing educational researches completed in the nursing and obstetrics faculties of the Autonoma university of Mexico State between the years 1995 and 2008. Methodology. Exploratory, documentary and retrospective study. it has a functional and structural approach with a quantitative focus. Nursing educational area researches as well as other primary sources that showed research work such as books, thesis, magazines and memories were evaluated. Results. 49 research products that referred to nursing education were found (22 degree thesis, 8 of masters, a professional experience report, 12 articles published in magazines and memories and 6 books). 100% of the researchers found are descriptive and diagnostic. There is no evidence that such diagnostics had been used as intervention research basis, evaluation and creation of new proposals for the educational area. 10% of the researched is related with the nursing professionals’ labor market and the remaining 90% study the educational process actors. There is no followup on the researches’ diffusion and disclosure neither on the application or implementation of the results obtained in each study. Conclusions. The reviewed researches had limitations, specially the non-attachment to the educational policies at the federal level.
