ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Las desigualdades en el acceso y la calidad de atención en salud persisten, especialmente en poblaciones andinas, como la colectividad Chopcca. Describimos la percepción sobre la atención en establecimientos de salud y las prácticas vinculadas al cuidado de la salud en residentes de centros poblados de la región Huancavelica. Realizamos un estudio transversal mediante cuestionario estructurado en 775 residentes de centros poblados urbanos y rurales de los distritos de Yauli y Paucará. 68,7% refieren usar siempre plantas medicinales para curarse, 86,7% nunca realizó pago a la tierra, 81,4% no ha practicado el coca qaway o sara qaway. 88,5% acude al establecimiento de salud cuando enferma. 57,4% refiere que el personal de salud siempre brinda confianza y seguridad, dicha proporción es mayor en zonas rurales que urbanas (64,6% versus 28,8%). Las comunidades estudiadas demandan los servicios de salud ofrecidos por el sistema formal. Sin embargo, persisten prácticas culturales tradicionales, siendo la más importante el uso de plantas medicinales.


ABSTRACT Inequalities in terms of access and quality of healthcare persist, especially among Andean populations, such as the community of Chopcca. Here, we describe the perception of healthcare provided in medical facilities as well as the practices linked to health care in residents of settlements in the Huancavelica region. We carried out a cross-sectional study by means of a structured questionnaire administered to 775 residents of urban and rural towns of the Yauli and Paucará districts. 68.7% refer always using medicinal plants to cure themselves; 86.7% never made a "payment" to Mother Earth; 81.4% has not practiced coca qaway or sara qaway. 88.5% of respondents visit the medical facility when they fall ill. 57.4% refer that the healthcare staff always transmits confidence and security, this proportion is higher in rural vs. urban areas (64.6% versus 28.8%). The communities under study demand the healthcare services offered by the formal system; nevertheless, traditional cultural practices persist, being the most important one the use of medicinal plants.
