The objective of this research was to determine the knowledge and practices of nursing staff regarding surveillance of vaccine-preventable diseases such as rubella, measles and poliomyelitis.A descriptive transversal study was designed and a questionnaire validated by experts’ judgment was used after reliability was verified to interview 26 nurses who work at ambulatory centers in the municipality of Roscio.It was observed that 98% of the interviewed professionals knew of these vaccinepreventable diseases and 73% knew there were surveillance forms; however, only 8% could identify the adequate sample to investigate a suspicious case of poliomyelitis. Thus, we conclude that there are weaknesses in epidemiological surveillance since nurses do not report or take actions within the appropriate period of time because they ignore fundamental aspects of Surveillance. El personal de enfermería es quien inicia la investigación epidemiológica, evidenciándose ciertas debilidades en la ejecución de acciones tendientes al control del Programa Ampliado de Inmunizaciones. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar los conocimientos y prácticas de los profesionales de enfermería sobre la vigilancia de enfermedades Inmunoprevenibles por vacunas como rubéolasarampión y poliomielitis.Se diseñó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal y con el uso de un cuestionario previamente validado por juicio de expertos y verificada la confiabilidad, se entrevistó a las 26 enfermeras que laboran en los ambulatorios del municipio Roscio. Se evidenció que 98% de los profesionales encuestados conocían las enfermedades prevenibles por vacunas y un 73% sabían la existencia de las fichas para la vigilancia, no obstante solo en un 8% identifico correctamente la muestra adecuadas para investigar un caso sospechoso de poliomielitis. De esta manera, se concluye la existencia de debilidades en la vigilancia epidemiológica ya que no notifican, ni realizan acciones en el tiempo adecuado por desconocimiento de aspectos fundamentales en la Vigilancia.

Nursing staff initiates the epidemiological research; certain weaknesses have been seen in the performance of actions aiming to control the Extended Immunization Program. The objective of this research was to determine the knowledge and practices of nursing staff regarding surveillance of vaccine-preventable diseases such as rubella, measles and poliomyelitis.A descriptive transversal study was designed and a questionnaire validated by experts’ judgment was used after reliability was verified to interview 26 nurses who work at ambulatory centers in the municipality of Roscio.It was observed that 98% of the interviewed professionals knew of these vaccinepreventable diseases and 73% knew there were surveillance forms; however, only 8% could identify the adequate sample to investigate a suspicious case of poliomyelitis. Thus, we conclude that there are weaknesses in epidemiological surveillance since nurses do not report or take actions within the appropriate period of time because they ignore fundamental aspects of Surveillance. |
