Resumen
ARPASI QUISPE, Orfelina et al. Nursing personnel infected by COVID-19: working conditions and their associated factors in three hospitals in Lima-Peru. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2022, vol.21, n.66, pp.330-355. Epub 02-Mayo-2022. ISSN 1695-6141. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/eglobal.502991.
Objective:
To determinate the prevalence of COVID-19 in the nursing personnel, working conditions, and their associated factors in three hospitals in Lima-Peru.
Method:
A quantitative, descriptive cross-sectional study of the web survey was carried out between November 2020 and February 2021 with 495 nursing personnel members from the three public hospitals in Lima.
Results:
63% of the participants were from the Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen National Hospital, 20% from the San Isidro Labrador Hospital, and 17% from the II Vitarte Hospital. The prevalence of COVID-19 in the nursing personnel was 47.3%. When analyzing the demographic characteristics of the participants, a significant association of the education variable with the disease was evidenced (OR=1.50, p =0.04), showing that those with higher education are 1.5 times more likely to develop COVID-19 compared to those with postgraduate studies; the variables related to working conditions and risk factors did not show a significant association (p>0.05) with the disease.
Conclusions:
Except for education, there is insufficient evidence to affirm a significant association of COVID-19 with demographic characteristics, work-related variables, and those considered a risk. This research makes significant contributions to nursing practice, research, and teaching.
