Introduction. The figure of the main caregiver for people with motor disabilities is vital, not only for the direct assistance provided, but also for the role they play in the general well-being of the person with this condition. Aim. To analyze the psychosocial factors of the main caregiver of people with motor disabilities. Methodology. This investigative work will be developed by applying the observational, descriptive, non-experimental methodology, through a documentary review, of high-impact scientific documents. Results. Some similarities were found regarding the psychosocial burden experienced by caregivers of people with various disabling conditions or chronic illnesses. A consistent finding is the elevated level of stress and emotional exhaustion among primary caregivers. Conclusion. synthesize and efficiently organize the existing scientific evidence in relation to the psychosocial factors of the main caregiver of people with motor disabilities, from a comprehensive vision.

Introduction: Female sexual dysfunction is one of the gynecological consultations with the highest demand, being dyspareunia one of the disorders that afflict the female population in 26%. Pelvic floor muscle training exercises are a treatment to mitigate the adverse effects on sexual function. Some of the sexual health programs in physiotherapy are multimodal, integrating exercises with sexual education. Objective: To analyze physiotherapeutic programs aimed at pelvic floor muscle strengthening through literature reviews to mitigate female sexual dysfunction. Methodology: It is of bibliographic type with documentary design, inductive method, with data collected since 2017 from the following databases: PubMed, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, EBSCO, Semantic Scholar, SPRINGER LINK and Em Saúde. We were able to identify, filter and pre-analyze randomized clinical trials with the help of Boolean operators (AND, OR and NOT), along with inclusion, exclusion criteria and the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale. Results: It started with a population of 112 articles, after analyzing a sample of 27 articles was obtained, covering pelvic floor strengthening programs in female sexual dysfunction, starting by raising awareness of pelvic muscle contraction, along with instruments, sex education, partner support and self-directed work, being effective in dyspareunia and sexual dysfunction disorders.  Conclusions: It was demonstrated the effectiveness of multimodal programs in training the hypotonic pelvic floor musculature, increasing sexual desire, lubrication, orgasm, sexual satisfaction, and pain reduction in women with sexual dysfunction. General Area of Study: Physical therapy. Specific area of study: Pelvic floor. Type of study: Bibliography Review.

Introduction. Urinary incontinence (UI) is a social problem that is faced in a higher percentage of women with an affectation ratio of 1:4 suffering from UI. A UI is the involuntary loss of urine, affecting the productivity and quality of life of those who suffer from it, accompanied by depression, anxiety, and an increase in lower urinary tract infections. It is estimated that between 25% and 45% of the factors in women are due to aging, pregnancy, and vaginal births; The types of urinary incontinence are: stress urinary incontinence (SUI), urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) and mixed urinary incontinence (MUI). Work to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) has become a first-line conservative treatment for rehabilitation against this pathology. Aim. Explain the generalities of Urinary Incontinence, and the influence of strengthening the pelvic floor muscles and how it intervenes in the quality of life of women. Methodology. A narrative review of the literature was carried out, in the first instance a search was carried out in the databases; PubMed (69), Embase (407), Pedro (25) and Trip (0), finding a total of 501 articles, of which a first selection was made by title with the keywords “exercise and training and incontinence and quality of life”, 10 articles were respectively selected to carry out this study. Results and Conclusion: Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles is necessary to reduce episodes of urinary incontinence. Group-directed programs generate better benefits and results compared to individual work, due to the joint support between groups of women, improving quality of life. In a total of 2,449 women who underwent surgery in the studies reviewed, strengthening the pelvic floor, both in groups and individually, obtained results at 6 and 12 weeks, the intervention was conducted between 2 to 3 times a week with a duration of 40 to 50 minutes per session. General area of study: Physiotherapy. Specific study area: Pelvic floor. Type of study: Original articles.

Introduction. Breastfeeding is essential for child development, providing essential nutrients and strengthening the immune system. However, various sociocultural factors influence early weaning, which can affect the health and well-being of children under two years of age. In Ecuador, the rate of exclusive breastfeeding is variable, depending on the geographical area and the mother's educational level. Objective. Identify the determining factors in weaning from breastfeeding in children under two years of age. Methodology. A systematic review was conducted using the PRISMA-ScR methodology, analyzing scientific articles published between 2018 and 2023 in databases such as PubMed, SciELO and ScienceDirect. 27 studies were selected after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. The factors associated with weaning were classified into sociocultural, biological, and social categories. Results. The main factors identified include maternal age, educational level, access to breastfeeding information, labor regulations, and cultural beliefs about infant feeding. Mothers with less access to education or community support have higher rates of early weaning. Likewise, biological conditions such as hypogalactia or the perception of insufficient milk production affect the continuity of lactation. Work factors and the lack of adequate spaces to breastfeed also contribute to early abandonment. Conclusion. Weaning in children under two years of age is a process influenced by multidimensional factors. It is necessary to strengthen maternal education strategies, community support and breastfeeding protection policies to promote its continuity. Understanding these variables will allow the development of effective interventions to reduce early weaning and improve child health. General area of study: Health. Specific area of study: Nursing.
