ABSTRACT
Objetivos: Determinar la variación del nivel de conocimiento de los trabajadores de una empresa de construcción, posterior a una intervención educativa continuada en primeros auxilios médicos. Métodos: Estudio longitudinal de tipo experimental (intervención educativa), en un grupo de trabajadores de Lima. Se los dividió aleatoriamente y a todos se les dio una misma capacitación basal. Se utilizaron tests validados localmente para la medición del nivel de conocimiento en cada fase. Se analizaron los resultados de la medición del conocimiento adquirido según el tipo de intervención. Resultados: El promedio del nivel de conocimiento teórico basal fue de 1,3 puntos (de 10 puntos posibles), que se triplicó a 4,6, posterior a la primera capacitación y finalmente disminuyó pasados los meses. Se encontró diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los promedios de notas teóricas según las intervenciones educativas que recibieron (p=0,035), pero los promedios finales teóricos no alcanzaron el objetivo establecido. Conclusiones: Si bien hubo una diferencia en las notas según el tipo de refuerzos, no fue suficiente para obtener un adecuado nivel de conocimientos del tema; es necesario saber si las capacitaciones brindadas aseguran que el trabajador esté adecuadamente entrenado, ya que no basta con capacitarlos, también se tiene que asegurar que retengan el conocimiento adquirido (AU)
Objectives: To determine the variation in the level of knowledge of the employees of a construction company, after a continuous educational intervention in medical first aid. Methods: Longitudinal experimental study (educational intervention) in a group of workers in Lima. They were divided randomly and all were given the same basal training; locally validated tests were used to measure the level of knowledge in each phase. P values were obtained to determine the differences between the averages by type of intervention. Results: The mean level of basal theoretical knowledge was 1.3 points (from 10 possible points), which tripled to 4.6 after the first training and finally reduced after months. Statistically significant differences were found between the averages of theoretical notes according to educational interventions received (p=0.035), but the theoretical final averages were disapproving. Conclusions: While there was a difference in the notes according to the type of reinforcements, it was not sufficient to obtain an adequate level of knowledge of the subject; is necessary to know whether the training ensure that workers are properly trained, and that is not enough to train them, you also have to ensure that they retain the knowledge gained (AU)

The aim of this study was to meet the health insurance coverage received by recent graduates of universities in Lima during the Service Rural and Urban-Marginal in Health (SERUMS) during 2012-2013. 290 physicians were included. Data of the physicians' insurance to the social health Insurance (EsSalud) were reviewed monthly. 6.6% of physicians had been activated his insurance at the end of the third month of the beginning of his service. Differences between physicians who worked for the Ministry of Health (p<0.01), by gender (p=0.03) and if the locale was considered extremely poor (p=0.02) were found. We conclude that there is an deficient insurance coverage for the physicians who realize primary health care during the SERUMS exercise.

Con el objetivo de determinar la cobertura del aseguramiento en salud que recibieron los médicos recién graduados de universidades de Lima, que realizaron el Servicio Rural y Urbano Marginal en Salud (SERUMS) durante el periodo 2012 - 2013, realizamos un seguimiento mensual de los datos de afiliación al Seguro Social de Salud (Essalud). De un total de 290 médicos el 6,6% (19) tenía activado su seguro al fin de los tres primeros meses, incrementándose al 72% (209) el último mes, el 26,2% no tuvieron afiliación en ninguno de los meses. Se encontraron diferencias en la cobertura de aseguramiento según entidad que regula la sede (p<0,01), el sexo del médico (p=0,03) y la clasificación de pobreza de la sede (p=0,02). Se concluye que existe una deficiente cobertura de aseguramiento hacia los profesionales que realizan atención primaria de la salud en zonas alejadas del país, lo cual es un problema que debe ser vigilado.
The aim of this study was to describe the concentration of lead in umbilical cord blood (UCB) of neonates born from primiparous women who live in northern Lima. A cross sectional study was carried out at Cayetano Heredia National Hospital, from July 2011 to January 2012. 100 neonates born from primiparous women who lived in northern Lima in the previous 5 years or more were included. Umbilical cord lead levels were measured by the atomic adsorption method, and the demographic information and risk factors of the neonates were filled in a patient record designed to this purpose. 30% of the neonates had concentration of lead in UCB that was considered as increased risk (= 3,0 µg/dL), 16% of the cases had had toxic concentration of lead in UCB (= 5 µg/dL). We conclude that there are a high percentage of neonates contaminated with lead in the northern Lima.
