Description
Summary:Background: The pain in general, located in different areas of the body, presents with higher prevalence in adolescents. At the national level it is estimated that three out of four children between 6 and 17 years of age dedicate approximately 11 hours a week to activities within their home, which implies repetitive mechanics, muscle overloads and as a consequence the presence of pain. Objectives: Determine the association between the number of hours an adolescent does household activities and the presence of pain. Design: Cross sectional analytical observational that analyzes a secondary population data base of the INEI in urban and rural areas of the 24 departments of Peru and in the Constitutional Province of Callao. The data collection period was from October to December 2015. Patients/Materials: The secondary base of the INEI was included for children and adolescents from 10 to 17 years old. The dependent variable was defined as the presence of pain in the back, head or bones. The independent variable was defined as the number of hours dedicated to domestic activities and was categorized. The descriptive analysis shows absolute and relative frequencies for the categorical variables and in the bivariate, the Chi2 test was used. Finally, in the multivariate analysis, the Poisson model was used considering the 95% confidence intervals. Results: The results obtained according to our objectives show that adolescents who perform domestic activities for a time greater than 3 to 13 hours have a 10% lower risk of presenting pain compared to those of 1 to 3 hours (CI = 0.84 - 0.97) and a p value = 0.007. In a multivariate analysis adjusted to area, region, sex, age (years) -categorized, reason for which they carry out domestic work, adolescents who carry out dangerous tasks and work outside the home; adolescents who perform domestic activities in a time greater than 3 to 13 hours have a 5% lower risk of presenting pain compared to those of 1 to 3 hours (CI = 0.87 - 1.04) and a value of p = 0.320 Conclusion: Our study was able to determine that there is an association between the number of hours an adolescent performs domestic activities and the presence of pain. === Introducción: El dolor en general, localizado en diferentes zonas del cuerpo se presenta con mayor prevalencia en los adolescentes con un rango de 20% a 46% a nivel mundial. A nivel nacional se estima que tres de cada cuatro niños entre los 6 y 17 años dedican aproximadamente 11 horas semanales a las actividades dentro de su hogar, lo que implica mecánicas repetitivas, sobrecargas musculares y como consecuencia la presencia de dolor. Objetivos: Determinar la asociación entre el número de horas que un adolescente de 10 a 17 años realiza actividades domésticas y la presencia de dolor. Diseño: Estudio observacional analítico de corte transversal que analiza una base secundaria poblacional del INEI en zona urbana y rural de los 24 departamentos del Perú y en la Provincia Constitucional del Callao. El periodo de recolección de la data fue en los meses de octubre a diciembre del 2015. Participantes/Materiales: Se incluyó de la base secundaria del INEI a niños y adolescentes de 10 a 17 años. La variable dependiente se definió como presencia de dolor en espalda, cabeza o huesos. La variable independiente se definió como el número de horas dedicadas a actividades domésticas y fue categorizada. En el análisis descriptivo se muestran frecuencias absolutas y relativas para las variables categóricas y en el bivariado se utilizó la prueba de Chi2. Finalmente, en el análisis multivariado se utilizó el modelo de Poisson considerando los intervalos de confianza al 95%. Resultados: En el análisis multivariado ajustado a la variable Área, Región, Sexo, Edad (años) categorizada, Motivo por el cual realiza la labor doméstica y trabajo fuera del hogar se encontró que los adolescentes que realizan Actividades domésticas por un tiempo mayor de 3 hasta 13 horas tienen 8% menor probabilidad de presentar dolor de espalda cabeza o huesos en comparación a los adolescentes que realizan las actividades del hogar durante 1 a 3 horas y un valor estadísticamente significativo de p= 0.029 (IC= 0.85 – 0.99), Conclusión: Nuestro estudio logró determinar que sí hay asociación entre la cantidad de horas que un adolescente realiza actividades domésticas y la presencia de dolor. === Tesis
