ABSTRACT
RESUMEN Objetivo: Evaluar el nivel de conocimiento de profesionales en salud frente a la donación de órganos y tejidos en Barranquilla. Metodología: Estudio de corte transversal con encuesta semiestructurada sobre el conocimiento de la donación de órganos y tejidos en el personal de salud entre junio hasta diciembre de 2019. Se incluyen 232 profesionales de la salud en los servicios de Unidad de Cuidado Intensivo (UCI) adultos o pediátrica y Urgencias en seis Instituciones Prestadoras de Salud (IPS) de Barranquilla. Resultados: El 75 % de nuestros encuestados fueron mujeres. Se incluyó auxiliares de enfermería (43,5 %), profesionales en enfermería (25,4 %), médicos (22,8 %) y fisioterapeutas (8,2 %). El 84,5 % de los evaluados definió correctamente la muerte encefálica (ME); 50,4 % tiene conocimiento adecuado sobre la presunción en donación; el 52,4 % identifica apropiadamente la legislación, y el 78,9% conoce la activación de alerta en donación. No se encontraron resultados estadísticamente significativos en nivel de conocimiento comparado entre IPS (p=0.42), aunque se encontró una diferencia entre el concepto de presunción legal de la donación entre los servicios UCI adulto, pediátrica y Urgencias (p=0.000) y la definición de ME entre los profesionales asociados (p=0.001). Conclusión: Este diagnóstico del nivel de conocimiento en donación y trasplantes identificó una contundente necesidad de educación y entrenamiento continuo que podría ser gestionada con esfuerzos regionales en pro del mejoramiento del proceso y la tasa de donación de órganos y tejidos.
ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the knowledge level of organ donation and transplantation in health care workers at Barranquilla city in Colombia. Methodology: We performed a cross-sectional study from June to December 2019. Data were collected with the use of a semi-structured questionnaire regarding organ and tissue donation for transplant. This questionnaire was applied to 232 health care professionals associated with six health institutions located at Barranquilla. The main medical areas were adult and pediatric critical care units and emergency departments. Results: 75% of the participants were female. The study included nursing assistants (43,5%), nurses (25,4%), physicians (22,8%) and physiotherapists (8,2%). 84,5% of the participants had a correct definition of Brain Death (BD) and 50,4% had adequate knowledge about presumption consent in organ donation, 52,4% knew organ donation laws correctly, and 78,9% knew how to activate an organ donation alert. here was no significant difference in organ and tissue donation knowledge comparing the six health institutions (p=0.42). However, we found a significant difference in presumption consent in organ donation regarding medical areas (p=0.000), and ME definition distinguish between health care staff (p=0.001). Conclusion: We identified a need for education and training regarding organ and tissue donation in health care staff. Regional efforts should focus on improving the level of knowledge in these areas to increase the organ donor pool and strengthen transplant programs.
