Item type:Publication, Personas mayores y cuidadores: experiencias con tecnologías digitales en salud en tres regiones de Chile(Centro de Estudios Publicos, 2025-07-24); ; ;Ximena Sgombich ;Teresa AbuslemeDaniel Jofré<jats:p>Este artículo da cuenta de las experiencias y expectativas de personas mayores, cuidadores y familiares con respecto al uso de tecnologías digitales para el cuidado de la salud en Chile, asumiendo como perspectiva de análisis la Teoría de Usos y Gratificaciones. Para la realización del estudio se utilizó un enfoque cualitativo con 9 grupos focales y 16 entrevistas individuales. Llevado a cabo entre marzo y noviembre de 2022, la investigación abordó aspectos como competencia digital, accesibilidad y usos. Los resultados indican que las personas mayores tienen una relación tardía con la tecnología, con barreras como miedo a la obsolescencia y falta de habilidades digitales. La tecnología es percibida como útil para las tareas cotidianas y la asistencia sanitaria, aunque existen preocupaciones acerca del fraude y el mal uso de información personal, lo que amplía la brecha digital. La alfabetización digital en personas mayores es sobre todo adquirida a través del apoyo familiar y de procesos de formación informales. La salud digital es vista como multifacética, beneficiando la gestión administrativa y el acceso a la información médica, aunque se requieren estrategias más efectivas de inclusión digital para mejorar la autonomía y la integración de las personas mayores en el entorno digital.</jats:p>1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Compliance with the smoking ban in enclosed, semiopen and open areas of workplaces and public places in Chile(2020); ;Xaviera Molina; ; <jats:sec><jats:title>Objective</jats:title><jats:p>To assess the national level of compliance with the Chilean comprehensive smoke-free legislation by observing healthcare facilities, education centres, government offices, hospitality venues and private workplaces, by type of area within workplaces and public places: enclosed, semiopen and open.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methodology</jats:title><jats:p>In this cross-sectional observational study, we studied a national representative sample of 3253 venues obtained through a two-stage cluster sampling design. First, 57 municipalities were randomly selected, proportionally to the total number of venues of interest. Second, within each selected municipality, a maximum of 12 venues of each sector was selected systematically from a list of existing sites. We determined the non-compliance level by estimating the percentage of the visited venues where smoking was observed or suspected in banned areas of the premises.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>Smoking or suspicion thereof was not observed in any enclosed area of any establishment. However, smoking violations were observed in semiopen areas ranging from less than 0.5% of schools and healthcare centres to around 10% of hospitality venues or 23.0% of higher education centres. Smoking violations were also observed in outdoor areas of 6.7% and 1.6% of the health centres and schools, respectively.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion</jats:title><jats:p>The stark contrast in compliance with the smoking ban between the enclosed areas and the semiopen areas may be a consequence of the complex definition of semiopen areas in the regulations. The study also reflects the need to improve the overall enforcement of the smoke-free law, particularly in universities and hospitality venues.</jats:p></jats:sec>Scopus© Citations 6 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Arsenic Exposure During Pregnancy and Childhood: Factors Explaining Changes over a Decade(MDPI AG, 2025-03-16); ; ; ;Camila AwadXaviera MolinaArsenic chronic exposure, particularly in its inorganic form, represents a significant public health concern. This study was conducted in Arica, the northernmost city in the country, whose inhabitants have been exposed to inorganic arsenic both naturally through drinking water and anthropogenically due to a toxic waste disposal site. We explored changes in inorganic arsenic levels in a cohort of pregnant women and their children over a decade, identifying exposure trends and their determinants. We used data on arsenic exposure through maternal urine samples during pregnancy, collected by the Health Authority between 2013 and 2016 (measurement 1), and followed up with assessments of their children in 2023 (measurement 2). Temporal changes in inorganic arsenic concentration were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test, and a mixed linear regression model was employed to determine which factors contributed to urinary inorganic arsenic levels. We did not observe significant differences in mean arsenic concentrations between the two-time points (p = 0.4026). The mixed linear regression model revealed that children consuming bottled water had 8.3% lower urinary inorganic arsenic concentrations than those drinking tap water (95% CI: −15.36 to −0.54%). Additionally, children from ethnic groups had 8.64% higher inorganic arsenic concentrations (95% CI: 0.49 to 17.5%), while those with caregivers with higher education showed a 13.67% reduction (95% CI: −25.06 to −0.56%). Despite mitigation efforts, these findings underscore the ongoing risk of inorganic arsenic exposure among vulnerable populations. They further emphasize the importance of addressing natural arsenic contamination in water and implementing targeted interventions to reduce disparities associated with socioeconomic and demographic factors.</jats:p>Scopus© Citations 1 6 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Exposure of 4-year to 24-year olds to tobacco imagery on prime-time Chilean television(2021); ;Urrejola, Oscar; ; <jats:sec><jats:title>Introduction</jats:title><jats:p>The extent of the population’s exposure to tobacco imagery across all genres of regular TV programming and the contribution of each of these genres is unknown, except for UK broadcast channels. The objective of this study is to estimate the exposure of young people to tobacco imagery on Chilean prime-time television and the programme source contributing to such exposure.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>Programmes aired during 3 weeks in 2019 from the 15 highest audience channels in Chile were content-analysed for the occurrence of tobacco categorised as actual use, implied use, tobacco paraphernalia, tobacco brand appearances and whether they violated Chilean smoke-free law for each 1 min interval (92 639). The exposure of young people to tobacco content was estimated using media viewership figures.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>Young people received 29, 11 and 4 million tobacco impressions of any type, explicit use and smoke-free violation, respectively, at a rate of 21.8, 8.0 and 2.1 thousand impressions per hour of TV viewing. The main sources of exposure to tobacco impressions were feature films and animated productions, which were almost entirely non-Chilean. Finally, young people were exposed to tobacco brand impressions primarily through films, effectively circumventing the advertising ban in Chile.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion</jats:title><jats:p>Television programming is a source of significant youth exposure to tobacco imagery, including branding impressions. To conform to the WHO FCTC, Chile should prohibit tobacco branding in any TV programme and require strong anti-tobacco advertisements prior to any TV programme portraying tobacco.</jats:p></jats:sec>23Scopus© Citations 3
