Undoubtedly, the health systems in the world collapsed at the same time as the increase in the number of positive cases of COVID-19. Medical personnel and members of other health care disciplines did not have and do not have the information, but above all the precise training to carry out the necessary protection when dealing with infected patients. However, it was a job that "had to be done". The death of the first doctors was the turning point, at which it became evident that high security measures were required, as well as sufficient training for them to continue their work. Despite the measures implemented, contagion continued to be a reality. Added to this, at least in our country, is the response of the population, which in many cases has been negative, accompanied by aggression towards personnel, damage to infrastructure and violation of the fundamental rights of other patients. The aim of this article is to present the current situation and to help raise awareness of the risk that physicians and other health workers have been experiencing on a daily basis since the beginning of this pandemic.

For this, within the institutional training strategies the Tutoring Program arises as part of the actions of the institution itself, and its complemented by other programs depending on the specific group and individual characteristics and needs. Thus, this document is a theoretical review, as the first phase of action research which aims to describe sociodemographic factors that influence the school performance of gerontologists, in order to generate an intervention proposal that seeks to strengthen the academic training of these health professionals; through the proposal of a diversified and flexible tutoring, to influence the academic performance of the students of the gerontology degree comprehensively. In this way, the configuration of the object of study that concerns us takes as an axis of analysis the influence that sociodemographic factors have on the school performance of gerontologists, through a study with qualitative, descriptive methodology, through documentary analysis.

Objective and methods: The prevalence and biopsychosocial conditions of DM in older adults in the State of Hidalgo, Mexico, are analyzed using the Health and Aging Survey 2014 (SABE-Hidalgo, Mexico). Results: DM in older adults presents a prevalence of 28.22% in the State, predominating in women and becoming more common with increasing age. The highest frequency occurs in residents of urban areas (57.2%), those with less schooling (79.6%), and those who live with relatives (77%). In addition, 54.7% of older adults with DM had cognitive impairment, 67.9% had arterial hypertension and 45.28% presented joint disease. 41.2% suffered falls, 68.52% visual problems and 87.3% tooth loss. Finally, 85.8% receive care but only 29.2% perceive improvement in their health. Conclusions: It is fundamental to develop integral programs and policies to care for older adults with DM.

Como es sabido, el proceso de envejecimiento y su complejidad abrumadora en ocasiones rebasa las expectativas de las personas dedicadas a su estudio. 1 Desarrollado a partir de los postulados de Sivan (1995).

Esto es, la calidad de vida entendida como la satisfacción de cubrir los requerimientos básicos tangibles o materiales pero a su vez, aquellos que aunque intangibles se convierten en fundamentales sobre todo en la última etapa del ciclo vital. El reconocimiento social, el mantenimiento y buen funcionamiento biológico así como la competitividad en las funciones cognitivas se hacen fundamentales. Iniciando con la propuesta de intervención social que a la par, es posible encontrar situaciones adversas de vida, tal es el caso de lo que se deriva en la discriminación, la comprensión del proceso de la construcción social que es parte, es responsable de la aplicación de estereotipos negativos que se traducen en viejismo, pérdidas, procesos de duelo derivados aspectos multifactoriales en...

Ha sido generado a través del Seminario Permanente de Estudios sobre la Vejez y de las ponencias derivadas del Simposio Salud, Sociedad y Vejez del Área Académica de Gerontología. Contiene trabajos que representan un enfoque multidisciplinario sobre el viejo, la vejez y el envejecimiento, formas teóricas complejas que determinan un derrotero a la vez académico y científico que conjuntan los infinitos intereses académicos ante una sociedad que envejece de manera acelerada y que en algunos casos no se ha percatado del proceso que se transforma en fenómeno. El texto en sí es una invitación al estudiante, al profesor, al investigador para reconocer lo hecho y lo pendiente. Es sin duda una nueva perspectiva que reúne en forma simple, pero bien elaborada, las diversas áreas de formación para aterrizar en un área específica del conocimiento. Ofrecido de manera breve y precisa, pe...

Por tanto, el objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar las dificultades para la realización de actividades instrumentales de la vida diaria de adultos mayores residentes en el estado de Hidalgo (México). Los resultados muestran que más de 90% de la muestra no reportó tener dificultades para manejar el dinero, aunque el porcentaje fue menor en cuanto a las dificultades para preparar alimentos y llevar a cabo los quehaceres del hogar, más entre los hombres que en las mujeres. Se concluye que la participación en actividades diversas favorece que tanto mujeres como hombres mantengan un estilo de vida activo, siendo las primeras quienes más se involucran en actividades relacionadas con el cuidado de su hogar.
