The Faculty of Nursing of the UCAM has closed today the V National Nursing Congress 'Complex Chronicity: care focused on people'.

Various experts have treated in this event the importance of complex chronicity and care.

During the congress, Manuel Amezcua, president of the INDEX foundation, full professor of the University Center San Juan de Dios-University of Seville and extraordinary professor of the UCAM, has reflected on what are the dilemmas that the nursing profession is currently facing, about all in the development of research in the field of health, and the formulas that can be used to promote this type of knowledge.

"We must be innovative, research calls for creativity, we must promote the knowledge we produce, work with rigor and the most important element is to care about the social impact we produce to improve health" Manuel Amezcua.

Paloma Echeverría, dean of the Faculty of Nursing of the UCAM, explained that one of the main objectives of the congress is to familiarize students with research, and to make known the range of opportunities that are presented.

Aurora Tomas Lizcano, regional coordinator of nursing of the SMS, highlights about the opportunity that students have in this congress, the importance of the theme of it.

"In Murcia, research is becoming more accessible for nursing, above all it is necessary to present results that have an impact on better care for patients".

For his part, Francisco Javier Tebas, Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology and Nutrition, and General Pathology) at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Murcia, has given a presentation on childhood obesity ': "Really where obesity is increasing directly It is in India, China and Central America, in Europe, we are currently witnessing a parking lot of the progress of childhood obesity and even with figures that guarantee the backward movement ".

However, he says that "almost fifty percent of children are still at risk of excess weight."

"Can sick people also exercise?"

It has been the question on which the director of the Chair of Physiology at the Catholic University of Murcia, Javier López Román, who has lectured on the 'ACTIVA FAMILIAS Program', reflected.

López Román has argued that in some way a type of physical exercise can be recommended for each of the patients, whatever the pathology they may have.

The researcher has stressed that "the probability of dying after a person has suffered a heart attack decreases when physical activity increases."
