Cuidando a los que cuidan: diseño e implementación de un programa multinivel y multicomponente para el apoyo psicosocial y atención en salud mental de los trabajadores de la salud durante la pandemia por COVID-19
Resumen
La pandemia COVID 19 ha traído consecuencias a nivel social, económico, y sanitario en todo el mundo. Los funcionarios de la salud no sólo se encuentran más expuestos al contagio, sino también a múltiples estresores emocionales y mayores necesidades relativas al cuidado de su salud mental. Es fundamental desarrollar estrategias para asegurar el bienestar del personal de salud, el cual tiene un impacto relevante en la capacidad de respuesta ante la crisis sanitaria. Método: Se presenta y discute una estrategia de intervención desarrollada en el Hospital Clínico de la Universidad de Chile, el Programa de Apoyo a la Salud Emocional, formulado a partir de la revisión de literatura actualizada y experiencias de otras instituciones. Resultados: Se formula un programa con cinco niveles de intervención, grupales e individuales, el cual permite detectar y atender necesidades relativas a la salud mental en distintos niveles de complejidad. Discusión: Hay evidencia que respalda la necesidad de cuidado de grupos específicos en esta pandemia, entre ellos los trabajadores de la salud. El programa PASE es un intento de los funcionarios del Hospital para apoyar la labor de sus colegas y trabajadores que se encuentran en el primer frente de acción ante la pandemia.Palabras clave:
