RESUMEN

Objetivos:

El propósito de este trabajo es describir la experiencia con la estrategia de Atención Integral al Posaborto (APA) en 13 hospitales Colombianos en lo referente a tres componentes Consejería, tratamiento y planificación familiar.

Métodos:

Estudio mixto con un componente cuantitativo (corte transversal) y otro cualitativo. Población Hospitales en Colombia que recibieron capacitación en APA entre 1999 y 2002 y que cumplieron con criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Se hizo un muestreo secuencial por conveniencia, entrevistando 127 pacientes, 13 gerentes, y 39 proveedores.

Resultados:

Entre 1999 y 2002 se atendieron 26 199 mujeres con aborto incompleto. Se trataron con legrado uterino por aspiración manual (LUA) el 40 por ciento y con legrado uterino con cureta (LUC) el 60 por ciento. En los casos de LUA se brindó consejería en el 99,8 por ciento y en los de LUC en 57,3 por ciento. Utilizando LUA no hubo perforaciones uterinas aunque hubo 2 reacciones vagales mientras con LUC hubo 9 perforaciones uterinas (Chi² 2,16; p=0,14). Con LUC hubo necesidad de reaspiración por evacuación incompleta en 13 casos mientras que en LUA en un caso (Chi² 6,25 p=0,01). Las pacientes sometidas a LUA refirieron haber estado muy satisfechas y satisfechas en más del 90 por ciento mientras que para LUC el grado de satisfacción fue del 60 por ciento. Manifestaron satisfacción con la estrategia APA todos los proveedores y 12 de 13 gerentes.

Conclusiones:

La técnica LUA presentó menor morbilidad y mayor satisfacción en las usuarias. La mayoría de los gerentes y la totalidad de los proveedores manifestaron satisfacción con la estrategia APA.
ABSTRACT

Objectives:

This work describes Post-abortion Care strategy (PAC) experience in 13 Colombian hospitals regarding three components (counselling, suitable treatment and family planning).

Methods:

The study had quantitative (cross-sectional study) and qualitative components. Population Colombian hospitals receiving PAC training between 1999 and 2002 and fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria. Sequential convenience sampling was used; 127 patients, 13 managers and 39 health-care providers were interviewed.

Results:

26,199 women were treated for incomplete abortion during the study period. 40 percent were treated using Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA) and 60 percent using sharp curettage (SC). Family planning counselling was provided for 99,8 percent of MVA cases; however, only 57,3 percent of SC cases received it. There were 9 uterine perforations using SC and none in MVA cases (Chi square 2.16; p=0.14). There were 2 vagal reactions using MVA. Uterine evacuation was needed in 13 SC cases but in only one MVA case (Chi square 6,25 p=0.01). Patient satisfaction levels with hospital treatment were evaluated 90 percent of those receiving MVA treatment reported being satisfied or very satisfied, compared to just 60 percent of those treated with SC. All health-care providers and 12 out of 13 managers reported satisfaction with the PAC strategy and with 12 out of 13 managers as well.

Conclusions:

MVA treatment was associated with less treatment-related morbidity and higher levels of satisfaction amongst patients. Most managers and all health-care providers stated their satisfaction with the PAC strategy.
