Atención integral al adolescente en el centro de salud Eugenio Espejo, del cantón Otavalo, provincia de Imbabura en el año 2017.

Abstract

Being the adolescence a crucial age that marks the vital development, it was proposed to provide comprehensive care to adolescents among 10 and 19 years of the Eugenio Espejo parish. The clinical practice guide "Health of adolescents" of MSP was socialized to health personnel; adolescents and their parents. In addition they were trained on: development, self-acceptance, risk behavior, critical ability, sexuality, and adapted the clinic for differentiated care towards adolescents. Through surveys, health personnel, 415 adolescents and 320 parents were evaluated, whose results evidenced the need for information on the topics cited and the use of the socialized guide. According to the data obtained adolescents, mostly indigenous, are exposed to the risk of alcohol consumption associated with family influence; the lack of dialogue at home predisposes parents to attend trainings that strengthen these bonds. An increase in care for adolescents was obtained, in June and July, supported by comprehensive care and training, which guarantees the efficient delivery of health services to the population.
