Dieta Vegetariana, Personal de Salud, Médicos, Nutricionistas, Enfermeras y Enfermeros, Asistentes de EnfermeríaResumen
Introducción: Un adecuado estado de salud se relaciona con una óptima nutrición. Existe una creciente evidencia que indica que las dietas basadas en plantas como la vegetariana, adecuadamente planeadas, pueden ser completas y aportar una óptima cantidad de calorías y nutrientes para mantener y mejorar la salud y el estado nutricional. Los profesionales del área de la salud y especialmente los nutricionistas dietistas deben guiar a los pacientes que quieren tener una adecuada alimentación vegetariana. El objetivo fue evaluar las actitudes y conocimientos de médicos, nutricionistas, enfermeras y auxiliares de enfermería de una región de Colombia, con relación a las dietas vegetarianas.
Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo transversal, por medio de la aplicación de una encuesta anónima y voluntaria. La encuesta preguntaba sobre la disposición del profesional frente a las dietas vegetarianas y sobre el conocimiento que tenía de las mismas.
Resultados: La mayoría de los profesionales (61,7%) se muestran dispuestos a apoyar una dieta vegetariana y el 34% la recomendaría. No obstante, el 18,9% considera que es apropiada para cualquier grupo de edad. Pocos profesionales consideran útil esta dieta para la prevención de enfermedades. También se evidenció que el 55,3% manifestaron que en el entorno hay pocas posibilidades para llevar este tipo de alimentación, destacándose la falta de conocimiento o información.
Conclusiones: Se evidencian actitudes desfavorables y brechas en el conocimiento entre los profesionales de la salud en el tema de alimentación vegetariana.
