FUNIBER consulted teachers from the business owner phone number data university network in which it participates to find out how they analyse the lessons learned in 2020 and what changes there may be in different areas for 2021.
Health, in the center of attention
The teaching team of the Health and Nutrition area explains how the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus has greatly impacted the health of the world's population and has marked our daily lives. Difficult times have been experienced:
Health professionals have shown great courage and worth, but the fragility of health systems and the need for their reinforcement have also been made evident. Decision-making was extreme, reaching the point of having to assess not only the prioritization but also which patients to allocate health resources to.
High rates of obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes , etc. have contributed significantly to the increase in mortality from coronavirus. The prior health status of individuals should be a priority for public health policies.
Elderly and vulnerable people have been the most affected. This fact has highlighted the need for greater and better care for the elderly and the need to give them the importance they deserve.
We have had to distance ourselves and situations of loneliness have increased .
However, the so-called “new normal” has also given rise to a series of positive aspects and new learnings such as the following:
The scientific community has joined forces to better understand COVID-19. As a result of this international collaborative work, the long-awaited vaccines against COVID-19 have been developed in record time, which fortunately are already being administered to the population .
The importance of people's responsibility in taking care of their own health, starting with prevention, has been valued. The changes we have had to make in our daily lives (social distancing, use of masks, hand washing, home confinement, teleworking, etc.) have made us more aware of the importance of maintaining healthy lifestyle habits and in many cases there have been changes in our diet, physical activity, hygiene measures, among others.
We are more aware of the importance of actions and health care at an individual level , as they have a great impact not only on personal health but also on the people around us, especially those in situations of fragility and vulnerability.
The challenge for health professionals is to continue studying COVID-19 in order to overcome it, to place older people in the place they deserve, and to ensure that the population does not decline, and continues to improve its lifestyle habits to maintain an optimal state of health in every sense: sufficient and balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, maintaining emotional balance and adequate hygiene practices.
