Resumen

Objetivo Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la autopercepción de las enfermeras y médicos de Atención Primaria para implementar la promoción y prescripción de ejercicio físico en sus centros. Material y métodos Dos entrevistas grupales semiestructuradas, con cinco enfermeras y cinco médicos que se encontraban trabajando en ese momento en el Sistema de Salud de la Comunidad de Madrid (España), fueron desarrolladas de forma independiente. Un psicólogo experto guio cada una de las sesiones. Las entrevistas grabadas, fueron transcritas y analizado su contenido de forma consensuada. Resultados La mitad de los profesionales sanitarios entrevistados se consideraron a sí mismos físicamente activos y convencidos de que dicho comportamiento podría facilitar la promoción y prescripción de ejercicio físico hacía sus pacientes. Ambos grupos mostraron una falta de conocimiento para prescribir ejercicio físico, pero se sentían interesados en adquirir la formación mediante cursos, así como de recibir formación para entrevistar de forma motivacional a sus pacientes. También mostraron liderazgo o colaboración para implementar la promoción y prescripción de ejercicio físico bajo un enfoque multi o interdisciplinar con otros profesionales. Algunas de las barreras sugeridas por ambos profesionales fue la falta de un método seguro para comprobar los niveles de actividad física y sedentarismo de sus pacientes. Además, de la falta de concienciación de sus compañeros de profesión, el limitado tiempo de consulta que poseen con cada paciente, y mejorar la colaboración con otros recursos comunitarios y desarrollar estrategias políticas adecuadas. Conclusiones Existen autopercepciones, barreras y facilitadores comunes entre los médicos y enfermeras de Atención Primaria para implementar la promoción y prescripción de ejercicio físico. Siguiendo un enfoque socio-ecológico, los datos de la dimensión de organización del Sistema Sanitario obtenidos podrían servir para diseñar en el futuro una estrategia costo-efectiva para mejorar la salud del paciente y la sostenibilidad del Sistema Nacional de Salud mediante la promoción y prescripción de ejercicio físico.
