Item Rol de enfermería en la adherencia al esquema de vacunación en menores de edad indígenas(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Enfermería, 2022-10-07) Freire Medina, Cristina Guadalupe; Fernández Nieto, Miriam IvonneThe role of nursing is fundamental in the adherence to vaccination of indigenous minors, thus achieving the avoidance of vaccine-preventable diseases in the future, its main complement being educational and promotional functions in indigenous people, breaking intercultural barriers. The main objective focuses on determining the role of nursing in adherence to the vaccination scheme in indigenous minors, at the Juan Benigno Vela Type A Health Center in the Ambato canton (Ecuador). A qualitative, phenomenological and applied approach was applied, developed in the Juan Benigno Vela Type A Health Center. For the study, 119 relatives of indigenous minors were taken into account within the immunization process, as well as four nurses from the health institution. The results indicate that 53.78% of the indigenous participants report not having received information about post-vaccination adverse reactions and 55.46% do not know how to act when they occur. 40.34% express dissatisfaction with the care provided, due to inadequate treatment of the staff in 41.67%. The staff must know the Kichwa language and find the time to provide personalized education on the applied vaccines. It is concluded that vaccination is a strategy to prevent and control childhood diseases, where it is necessary to improve the quality of education and information provided by nursing to relatives or companions of vaccinated children. Another aspect to improve is the indigenous nurse-user relationship, which must be inclusive, humanized and respectful.
