Objetivo : Determinar los factores de riesgo asociados a la transmisión del virus de la Hepatitis B (VHB) en el Centro Médico Naval durante el período de estudio. Material y métodos : Estudio de casos y controles. Se evaluaron los pacientes hospitalizados en la Sala de Enfermedades Transmisibles con el diagnóstico de Síndrome ictérico mas hipertransaminasemia ( TGO y/o TGP > 500 u/l ). Los factores de riesgo reportados entre los sujetos infectados con el VHB (B+); fueron comparados con los sujetos no infectados (B-), mediante el análisis bivariado y multivariado. Resultados : Un total de 74 sujetos fueron evaluados serológicamente para VHB, de los cuales 37 fueron positivos ( 35 infección aguda y 2 infección no aguda ). Los sujetos B+ fueron en su mayoría de sexo masculino y tuvieron como factor de riesgo mas significativo una hospitalización previa ( OR:13.33 ). Además se describen los cuadros clínicos y exámenes de laboratorio encontrados en ambos grupos. Conclusión : La fuerte asociación encontrada entre hepatitis B y hospitalización previa, sugiere que la transmisión horizontal nosocomial tiene un rol protagónico en la transmisión del VHB en el Centro Médico Naval.

Objectives To systematically review all studies HBV screening and vaccination health behaviour according to the Health Belief Model theoretical framework including perceived susceptibility, severity, barriers and benefits, cues to action and self-efficacy. Methodology The literature search used PUBMED, MEDLINE, CINAHL plus, Wan Fang database, and Chinese Journal Net with English and Chinese language. About 73 studies (PUBMED: 33 MEDLINE: 10, CINAHL plus: 3, Wan Fang database: 16, Chinese journal net: 11) in total were identified; after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 11 studies met the criteria and in the final analysis. The target group included high infection rate groups (pregnant women, unprotected sexual behaviour, and immigrant group) and illness groups (chronic Hepatitis B and Hepatitis B virus carriers). Results and Discussion HBV screening and vaccination behaviour were determined by perceived the susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived barriers and benefits, and cues to action. The self-efficacy was seldom designed in the questionnaire of the reviewed articles. The Health belief model was a useful model for explaining HBV screening and vaccination behaviour. Screening- and vaccination-related beliefs of the screening and vaccination vary by high risk groups. From the review more attention to self-efficacy and perceived control may improve vaccination uptake. There were contrast results with the social economic characteristics, such as age, gender, income, in determining the HBV screening and vaccination behaviour. Conclusion and Implication As the policy maker, health care providers need to develop specific interventions paying attention to the different aspects of the Health Belief Model to improve the perceived of Hepatitis B virus. / published_or_final_version / Public Health / Master / Master of Public Health
