<jats:sec><jats:title>Background</jats:title><jats:p>COVID-19-related restrictions led to an increase in overall loneliness and social isolation. Before the pandemic, care partners reported higher levels of loneliness and higher loneliness prevalence compared to non-care partners. Because of the spread and severity of the infections, and the access to support spread, we expect a different impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on LATAM care partners.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives</jats:title><jats:p>To describe the loneliness levels of LATAM caregivers and to identify socioeconomic and health factors associated.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design</jats:title><jats:p>An international online cross-sectional survey for care partners, embedded within the ‘Coping with Loneliness and Isolation during COVID-19’ (CLIC) Study conducted between June 2020– and November 2020.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Setting</jats:title><jats:p>We analysed data from 246 family care partners living in Latin American countries (46% Mexico, 26% Chile,18% Brazil, and 10% from Argentina, Peru, Venezuela, Panama, Guatemala y Costa Rica).</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Measurements</jats:title><jats:p>We assessed loneliness using the 6-items of De Jong Gierveld loneliness Scale. We described the levels of overall, emotional, and social loneliness pre and during Covid, and reported the distribution of care partners who improved, worsened or maintained their levels of loneliness. Moreover, we used longitudinal multiple linear regression models with bootstraps errors of 1,000 iterations to identify factors associated with the levels of overall, emotional, and social loneliness during the pandemic.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>Participants were mostly women, 50 years and older, in a partnership, highly educated and with finances meeting their needs, with good to excellent physical and mental health. Among the total of care partners, 55% perceived higher overall loneliness, 56% higher emotional loneliness, and 21% higher social loneliness during the pandemic in comparison with pre-COVID-19 levels. Perceived mental health was associated with the overall, emotional, and social loneliness.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title><jats:p>Regardless of their living and health situation, during the pandemic, loneliness increased in all groups of care partners. These should be taken in consideration when planning public health approaches for crises such as pandemics or other large-scale disruptive events.</jats:p></jats:sec>

<jats:p>El objetivo del presente manuscrito es revisar antecedentes históricos previos a la creación de la Sociedad Chilena de Pediatría (SOCHIPE) en el año 1922, con el propósito de reflexionar sobre su impacto en la profesionalización de la pediatría nacional, especialmente en la salud y sobrevida de los niños. Se revisaron documentos de la Junta de Beneficencia, libros y estudios especializados de la época. Hasta principios del siglo XX, el país ostentaba una de las tasas de mortalidad infantil más elevadas del mundo, y contaba con precarias instalaciones para enfrentarlas. En aquellos años, el único establecimiento cerrado para la atención de infantes era la Casa de Huérfanos, que estaba al cuidado de religiosas con apoyo de médicos; es ahí donde se desarrollaron los primeros cursos teórico-prácticos de la especialidad. Presionados por la alta mortalidad infantil y las mortíferas epidemias, la Junta de Beneficencia vio la urgencia de mejorar las condiciones higiénicas y crear instalaciones para el cuidado de los niños. El manuscrito aborda el surgimiento de espacios encargados del resguardo de la salud de los menores de cinco años, desde la creación de la cátedra de pediatría y del primer hospital de niños, el Hospital Roberto del Río, lo que marcó el inicio de las políticas de salud pública infantiles.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec> <jats:title>Background</jats:title> <jats:p>Globally, it has been reported that different social determinants of health -structural, sociodemographic, economic, living conditions and cultural factors- may affect opportunities to adhere to prevention measures against SARS-CoV-2. The objective of this study was to explore the perceptions around barriers and facilitators for adherence to COVID-19 prevention measures among the adult population residing in three large cities in Chile from a social determinants of health perspective.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods</jats:title> <jats:p>Qualitative paradigm, multiple case-study design. Online semi-structured interviews were conducted with men and women aged 18 and over from different socioeconomic groups residing in three large cities. For participant recruitment and selection, purposive contacts were made based on community and social media networks, followed by snowball sampling. Saturation was reached at 61 participants, after which a thematic analysis was carried out with the support of AtlasTi software. The Ethics Committee of the Universidad del Desarrollo in Chile approved this study.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Results</jats:title> <jats:p>The main perceived barriers to adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures are linked to structural social determinants of health such as income, occupation, gender, access to basic supplies, and housing. Perceived facilitators are the fear of contagion and the incorporation of measures into daily habits. The social communication of preventive measures by health authorities is perceived as punitive, affecting adherence once the fear of contagion decreased in the country. It is also perceived that the recommended preventive measures are disconnected from communities’ cultural practices and people´s identity, as well as affected by gender inequities and socioeconomic conditions that stakeholders in the country do not sufficiently address.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title> <jats:p>Study findings suggest that adherence to preventive measures, such as social distancing, mask use, and hand washing, could be promoted through their incorporation into the daily life habits of people and communities. These measures should consider the structural social determinants that generate multiple barriers to adherence, like poverty, occupational risks, and overcrowding. Socio-cultural dimensions of health and everyday risks need further understanding among the different communities in the country, allowing for differences in viewpoints and practices based on gender, age, place, and social identity.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
