Abstract

IGLESIAS GUERRA, José Antonio; CASADO VERDEJO, Inés  and  POSTIGO MOTA, Salvador. Situation of assets for health in Spain. A cross-sectional descriptive study. Index Enferm [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.3, pp.152-156.  Epub July 13, 2020. ISSN 1699-5988.

Objective:

to analyze the situation of the resources that are active for health in Spain, and its accessibility for the population.

Methods:

a cross-sectional descriptive study of the resources and activities cataloged by the Ministry of Health according to the Strategy of Health Promotion and Prevention of the National Health System.

Results:

there are only 5 resources per 100,000 population. In 4 of the 17 Autonomous Communities it is significantly higher (p <0.001), with large differences in the number of activities per resource. 51.36% of the municipalities joined or in the process of accession to the Strategy are only in 4 Communities. There is no equitable access to such resources and activities. They do not include assets to address safety and unintentional injury.

Conclusions:

there are territorial inequalities in the availability of resources, also within the Communities. Five lines of improvement are proposed where Primary Care Nursing professionals play a key role.

Keywords : Health promotion; Assets for health; Resources; Nursing; Health equity.
