[Results and evaluation of a pilot study for the implementation of a program of preventive activities in primary health care]. / Resultados y valoración de un ensayo piloto para la implantación de un programa de actividades preventivas en atención primaria.

Following the guidelines for preventive and health promoting activities in Primary Health Care presented by the S.E.M.F.Y.C., we developed a study to evaluate the adequacy of the parallel nurse clinic for their implementation. 209 individuals (94 males and 115 females, mean age 36,4 +/- 13 years) were included in the study. The results showed a remarkably high prevalence of risk factors in the study series and a good acceptance of the program by the users. The opportunistic screening by means of a referral to a nurse clinic was shown to be an adequate strategy for the development of the program, with a multimplicator effect on the whole of nursing activities to be evaluated at the time of planning their implementation rate.
