Evaluación de la resiliencia hospitalaria del personal de salud con respecto al manejo de crisis ambientales de origen telúrico en el Hospital Teodoro Maldonado Carbo en el año 2018.

Abstract

Introduction: Natural disasters are unpredictable and cause great damage, not only at the level of structures but also at life, which test the resilience of hospitals. According to the WHO Health System, all health facilities must have a plan of action against crises and health personnel must be able to act and care for all people. Materials and Methods: Observational and descriptive cross-sectional study. The data were obtained from questionnaires carried out to the medical and nursing staff of the areas of internal medicine, intensive care unit, traumatology, general surgery, and anesthesiology during the year 2018. Results: A total of 204 questionnaires were carried out. Meaning that the level of knowledge of the health personnel was 25.8, which according to the questionnaire score gives a level of knowledge and hospital resilience classified as moderate. Conclusions: This study notes the lack of thorough knowledge about how to manage hospitalized patients prior to the state of crisis. With this research we can also demonstrate the importance of the dissemination of normative documents in a health institution, in addition to the need to take into account all staff and schedules assigned by the health entity.
