Propuesta metodológica para el análisis situacional de salud bucodental

Abstract

Oral health is a necessary aspect for personal and collective well-being. The Health Situation Analysis (ASIS) allows \na broad observation of health in a given context, in addition to propose possible solutions. Study objective: to build a \nmethodological proposal for the description of the oral health process through the situational health analysis. Method: \nit is a type of projective research and a non-experimental design. Results: the recommended steps to follow for the \napplication of the Oral Health Situation Analysis (ASISB) are described, which contemplate: looking for information \non component 1 (health conditioning factors) in official bodies, collecting information on components 2 (health-disease \nprocess) and 3 (social response to health events) in official health organizations. Then, go to community organizations to \ncomplement the information, synergistically describe components 1, 2 and 3 of the ASIS, then carry out the component \n4 (identification and prioritization of health problems). To prioritize the problems, a way of evaluating is outlined in the \nAnnex, then the SWOT matrix is made and action plans are drawn up. It is concluded that the ASISB methodology will \nserve to study the phenomenon in detail, which will allow taking actions for the prevention and cure of oral diseases, \nimproving the performance of the healthcare activity, in addition to the construction of activities to promote the oral \nhealth.
