Resumen
Antecedente: Las enfermedades parasitarias siguen siendo trascendentales en el
medio generando muertes, afectación en la salud y daño económico lo que estima
que más de un tercio de la población mundial sufre a causa de la parasitosis. El
Objetivo de este estudio será analizar la amebiasis intestinal en niños menores de 5
años del Distrito 24D01 de la provincia de Santa Elena. Metodología El trabajo es de
enfoque cualitativo, diseño no experimental, de corte transversal, y el método es
observacional y analítico. Resultados: existe una prevalencia de la enfermedad en el
sector norte de la provincia de Santa Elena, seguida por la población que asiste al
Hospital de Manglaralto, este estudio determina que la parasitosis prevalece en las
áreas rurales y su incidencia es más alta en los niños de 3 a 4 años, además de ello se
observa que el 13% de los casos presentaron alguna morbilidad subyacente, además
el 6,1% fue subsecuente en estas patologías. En la tabulación cruzada se encuentra
relación entre la edad, y los diferentes tipos de parasitosis como un factor de riesgo
dado que el valor p = 0. A esto se puede añadir como factores de riesgo asociados
tales como falta de higiene personal, consumir alimentos en mal estado, tomar agua
sin purificar, prácticas de salud. Por lo tanto, se concluye que el problema es la falta
de conocimiento frente a la enfermedad producida por parásitos, por lo que se
plantea realizar un proceso de capacitaciones orientadas a generar un aprendizaje
significativo que reduzca el índice de infectados por parásitos intestinales en el
sector
Background: Parasitic diseases continue to be transcendental in the environment, generating deaths, health effects and economic damage, which estimates that more than a third of the world population suffers from parasitosis. The objective of this study will be to analyze intestinal amebiasis in children under 5 years of age from District 24D01 of the province of Santa Elena. Methodology The work has a qualitative approach, non-experimental design, cross-sectional, and the method is observational and analytical. Results: there is a prevalence of the disease in the northern sector of the province of Santa Elena, followed by the population that attends the Manglar alto Hospital, this study determines that parasitosis prevails in rural areas and its incidence is higher in children from 3 to 4 years, in addition to this, it is observed that 13% of the cases presented some underlying morbidity, in addition 6.1% were subsequent in these pathologies. In the cross-tabulation, a relationship between age and the different types of parasitosis is found as a risk factor given that the p-value = 0. To this can be added as associated risk factors such as lack of personal hygiene, consuming food in bad condition, drink raw water, health practices. Therefore, it is concluded that the problem is the lack of knowledge about the disease produced by parasites, so it is proposed to carry out a training process aimed at generating significant learning that reduces the rate of infection by intestinal parasites in the sector
