Objective:to evaluate the protective and risk factors of urinary tract infection in pregnant women in a clinic. Materials and methods: retrospective study of cases and controls in pregnant women. The cases were 138 pregnant women with urinary tract infection and the controls were 138 pregnant women without the infections attended in a clinic in Lima. For the bivariate analysis Chi-square tests, Student's t test and the unadjusted model with Odds Ratio and 95%confidence intervals were used. Results: the protective factors of the urinary tract infection were receiving ferrous sulphate (OR: 0.5, p = 0.01) and obstetric psycho-prophylaxis (OR: 0.5,p= 0.02). A risk factor was not receiving vaccines (OR: 1.7, p= 0.05). Conclusion: receiving ferrous sulfate and obstetric psycho-prophylaxis are protective factors of the urinary tract infection and not receiving vaccines is a risk factor to present this infection. Given these findings, nurses are encouraged to take these into account in order to achieve the reduction of UTI in pregnant women through educational interventions on this pathology, promoting the importance of attending both prenatal check-ups and obstetric psycho-prophylaxis. Raiseawareness of the importance of ferrous sulfate consumption in pregnant women.

Objective:to determine the association between the characteristics of the child and pneumonia in children under five years of age. Materials and methods: a retrospective study of cases and controls in 293 children under five years of age. The cases were 114 children with pneumonia and the controls were 130 children without hospitalized pneumonia in a clinic in Lima. For the bivariate analysis, Chi-square, the student and the unadjusted model were used with the probability ratio and 95% confidence intervals. Results: one pneumonia protection factor was exclusive breastfeeding (OR: 0.5; p=0.05) and risk factors for presenting pneumonia inthe mother (OR: 1.4, p = 0.02)four to five years (OR: 2.2, p=0.02) and have a hospitalization (OR: 1.8, p=0.03) and previous respiratory disease (OR: 3.8, p=0.002). Conclusion: providing exclusive breastfeeding is a protective factor of pneumonia. Whilethe occupation of the mother, ages between four and five years and having a hospitalization and a previous respiratory disease are risk factors for pneumonia in children under five years. The search for information on pneumonia for mothers and caregivers,promoting the practice of exclusive breastfeeding.

Objective:to determine the relationship between resilience and the meaning of life in mothers of students of a special basic educational center. Materials and methods: study of correlational scope and cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 120 mothers from a special education college in Los Olivos. The main variables were resilience and sense of life. The STATA 14 program was used for descriptive and inferential data analysis.Results: 54.17 % of mothers showed moderate resilience and 82.5 % had high indicators of the presence of a sense of life. Likewise, it was found that there is a relationship between the meaning of life and resilience (p = 0.004), in the same way, between the meaning of life with the level of instruction (p=0.015) and occupation (p=0.026), respectively.Conclusion: the meaning of life is related to resilience, since difficult situations guide mothers to rethink and question the purpose of their reality, broadening the perception of the meaning of life. It also gives them the ability to adapt and deal with difficult situations, even transforming even stressful moments. Likewise, finding a sense of life, in spite of the adversities, was identified in the mothers who dedicate themselves to housework and who reached higher education or finished high school.

Objective:to determine the effect of an exercise program with fitball support on postural control in a group of students from Lima Norte. Materials and methods: analytical study with experimental research design. The sample size was 110 students, divided into 55 for the control group and 55 for the experimental group. The exercise program was applied for a period of 2 months with a frequency of 2 times per week. The T-student test was used for the statistical analysis.Results: the average age was 13 years for the control group and 14 years for the experimental group. Likewise, there is evidence of significant effectiveness between the proprioception and central stability dimensions of the Core with the exercises with fitball support. For the experimental group, proprioception with an average of reaches in right inferior member 5.47 cm (p=0.0001) and that of the left 6.99 cm (p=0.0000); similarly, for the central stability of the Core, the differences in scopes, in the lower right limb, medial 6.89 cm (p=0.0038)and posteromedial 5.47 cm (p=0.0126); on the other hand, in the lower leftanteromedial limb 6.68 cm (p=0.0069), medial 10.30 (p=0.0000) and posteromedial 11.03 cm (p=0.0002). For the control group we observed significant efficacy of the central stability in the difference of the anteromedial projection of the pretest and post test in the left lower limb (p=0.0025). Conclusion: the application of the program significantly influences the improvement of postural control.
