Objetivo. Estimar la
frecuencia de morbilidad percibida durante el embarazo en residentes de
áreas urbanas marginales, así como la relación entre ésta y el número
de consultas prenatales. Material y métodos. Se realizó un estudio
transversal en 15 asentamientos urbanos marginales de Chiapas. La
muestra incluyó a mujeres en edad reproductiva recientemente
embarazadas (n=230), entre quienes se indagó sobre morbilidad percibida
y atención prenatal. Se realizó un análisis bivariado estimándose la
razón de momios. El multivariado, mediante regresión logística binomial
tomó las variables que durante el bivariado mostraron un valor de p
hasta de 0.20. El análisis de varianza unidireccional estimó la
relación entre las distintas categorías de morbilidad y el número de
consultas prenatales. Resultados. Existe menor morbilidad de riesgo
reportada entre indígenas, asociada a un menor número de consultas
prenatales. Conclusiones. Es importante modificar la operación del
programa de salud reproductiva, especialmente entre las mujeres
indígenas y marginadas.
Objective. To estimate the
frequency of perceived morbidity during pregnancy in residents of
marginal urban areas, as well as to assess the relationship between
this and the number of prenatal visits. Material and methods. A
transversal study was carried out in 15 urban marginal settlements in
Chiapas. The sample included women of 15 to 49 years old, who were
pregnancy in the year previous this study (n=230). The investigation
assesses the perceived morbidity and prenatal care. The Odds Ratio was
estimate in the bivariate analysis. Multivariate analysis was performed
with binomial logistic regression; variables included in the model were
those that had a p-value under to 0.20 in the bivariate analysis. The
analysis of one-way analysis of variance estimated the relationship
between the different categories of morbidity and the number of
prenatal care visits. Results. A less risk of reported morbidity among
indigenous women was estimated, which was associated with a lower
number of prenatal care visits. Conclusions. It is important to modify
the practices of the reproductive health program, especially for
indigenous and marginal women.
