Diagnostico situacional del Subcentro de Salud La Libertad situado en un área urbano marginal de la ciudad de Quito

Abstract

Abstract: Among the main sections that make up this situational diagnosis, the first involves a preliminary approach to the community through participation in its activities, dialogues with leaders and community groups, researching relevant aspects of the community's history, and developing empathy with the community by understanding its problems and needs. The second section involves observation and data collection, followed by the creation of a workshop that allows for working with the community and socializing the findings. This community participation is essential, as it is a dynamic, participatory, comprehensive, and multisectoral process aimed at all areas of social life within the community. It reflects the capacity and willingness of citizens to participate in improving health and quality of life in the community. Moreover, it enables health education, aiming to positively change the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of individuals and groups concerning health. Finally, the last section of the diagnosis includes the analysis and reflection of the collected data, and the formulation of strategies that allow for interventions through the execution of activities to address the issues. One of the proposed strategies is a training program aimed at the community focusing on eating habits as a preventive health measure.
