Abstract

Objective. To identify the demographic-occupational
characteristics and the training problems of the nursing
personnel in the private and social security sectors of La
Matanza.

Materials and methods. A quantitative-qualitative study
was carried out by means of surveys. The sample was
non-probabilistic for convenience. Date were collected
between the second semester of 2021 and the first semester of 2022.

Results: We worked with a sample of 152 units, 82.9% were female and the mean age was 38.33 years. Regarding their level of training, 38.42% were nurses, 53.64% were nursing bachelors, 3.97% were nursing assistants, and 5.30% had postgraduate studies. A total of 68.03% participated in some type of training not related to COVID-19 in the last four years. Among those who received training, 83.33% mentioned that they were mostly free. Regarding the type of training chosen, 33.84% attended talks given by their work institution. As per COVID-19, 72% received training, mostly free of charge and mainly through talks delivered by their work institution.

Conclusion: This investigation allowed us to fulfill the objective of characterizing the nursing staff of the private and social security sectors of La Matanza district. In relation to the level of training of nursing personnel, the private and social security sectors of La Matanza district are well above the national average and better positioned than the public sector of the district.
