LOPEZ-SANCHEZ, Pilar et al. Changes attributed to a program based on the action-training of health agents. What do the associations say?. Rev. Esp. Salud Publica [online]. 2018, vol.92, e201809054.  Epub 24-Set-2018. ISSN 2173-9110.

Background:

Interventions aimed at improving health must take into account the health inequalities and the target the population in need. The mihsalud program (Women, Children and Men creating health) promotes health in vulnerable populations through engaging and collaborating with the local third sector. The objective of the study was to describe the changes attributed to the mihsalud programme and the process of action-training of community-based health volunteers (ASBC in Spanish) as perceived by the local organizations where they work or volunteer.

Methods:

Qualitative descriptive study through semi-structured interviews with representatives of organizations that trained ASBC during 2012 in Valencia. Twelve semi-structured interviews were conducted with representatives of organizations which had trained some of their volunteers to become ASBC during the 2012 action-training session. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed with the programme for qualitative analysis Nvivo. Themathic analysis was performed: transcripts were coded line by line from an inductive perspective.

Results:

Three main categories were identified: 1) The role of the ASBC: The associations recognise the role of the ASBC among their peers and the importance of the training received in the program; 2) Perceived changes: The associations recognize having a broader vision of health, identify the role of the figure ASBC that coordinates with health professionals in their health area and networking with other associations that were previously unknown; 3) Challenges and opportunities: Lack of support for the continuity of projects with ASBC due to the precariousness of small organisations and coordination with services, recognition at the local level and promotion of participation and interculturality through ASBC and their peers.

Conclusions:

The organizations recognize that the program and ASBC have made collaboration with health sector possible, have promoted health among their peers and have encouraged networking with other organizations and areas.
