Abstract

Introducción. El  último  brote  de  la  enfermedad  por  el  virus del Ébola, constituyó un precedente a la hora de evidenciar la necesaria formación del personal sanitario para posibles eventualidades de casos sospechosos de enfermedades contagiosas. Se precisa estudiar el nivel de cualificación del personal sanitario ante dichas situaciones.

Material  y  métodos.  Estudio  descriptivo  mediante  en-cuesta post-taller al personal sanitario de un departamento de salud  de  la  Comunidad  Valenciana  sobre  los  conocimientos  y  aptitudes adquiridos tras la formación.

Resultados y conclusiones. El personal sanitario obtuvo una calificación global de aprobado en la encuesta post-taller, pero  con  diferencias  en  cuanto  a  categorías  profesionales  y  distintos bloques de la formación, cuyas calificaciones podrían ser consideradas como deficientes en algunos casos.Se debería revisar la formación del personal sanitario periódicamente  y  calibrar  dicha  formación  a  los  recursos  de  los  que se dispone para una correcta actuación.

Introduction. The last outbreak of the Ebola virus disease, was a precedent to demonstrate the necessary training of healthcare  personnel  for  possible  eventualities  of  suspected  cases of infectious diseases. It is required to study the level of qualification of healthcare workers in such situations.

Methods.  Descriptive  study  using  post-workshop  survey  of  healthcare  workers  in  a  Valencian  Community  health  department on acquired knowledge and skills after training.

Results  and  conclusions.  Healthcare  personnel  received  an  overall  passing  score  on  the  post-workshop  survey,  but  with  differences  in  occupational  categories  and  different  blocks of training.The ratings could be considered deficient in some cases. It should be reviewed periodically training health personnel and calibrate such training to the resources available for proper operation.
