RESUMEN
Resumen

Introducción:

La visita domiciliaria se constituye en la principal estrategia de atención primaria al acercar los servicios de salud a los domicilios y lugares de trabajo de las personas, lo cual permite conocer de primera mano las necesidades de la población. La visita domiciliaria efectuada por el ATAP representa el primer contacto del individuo, familia y comunidad con el sistema de salud, con importantes beneficios tanto a nivel individual como colectivo. La presente investigación responde a la necesidad de identificar los elementos que el programa de visita domiciliaria requiere mejorar, modificar o sustituir con el fin de maximizar la prestación de este servicio.

Método:

Se diseñó un estudio cualitativo, analítico observadonal. Se recolectó los datos mediante revisión bibliográfica, entrevista a informantes claves y grupo focal. El análisis se realizó a partir de la teoría fundamentada.

Resultados:

Los datos evidenciaron la existencia de elementos a nivel de sistema de salud, programa de visita domiciliaria y figura del ATAP que deben ser revisados, modificados o sustituidos con el fin de que la visita domiciliaria tenga mayores y mejores alcances para la población y el sistema de salud.

Conclusión:

El programa de visita domiciliaria representa una fortaleza del sistema de salud costarricense al abordar las inequidades en salud. Sin embargo, es imperativa la toma de decisiones e implementación de acciones que promuevan el mejoramiento y aumento de los alcances que tiene la visita domiciliaria en el abordaje de la población a nivel familiar y comunitario.
