Abstract
VANEGAS-SAENZ, Héctor D.; SOTO-CESPEDES, Juan C. and SANCHEZ-FRANK, José V.. Relationship between social determinants of health and functioning profile of people with disabilities from Los Patios Municipality, Norte de Santander, Colombia. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.1, pp.8-13. Epub June 24, 2020. ISSN 0124-0064. https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v22n1.78682.
Objective
To analyze the relationship between social factors in health with the functioning profile of people with disabilities in the municipality of Los Patios, Norte de Santander.
Method
A sample of 246 people with a type of disability in the municipality Los Patios, Norte de Santander, under intentional non-probabilistic selection, were studied using the Registry for the Location and Characterization of Persons with Disabilities (RLPCD) and the functioning profile of people with disabilities (CIF) to identify the social determinants of health and the functioning profile, and determine their relationship.
Results
The sample was characterized by a higher percentage of men with disabilities (60.2%), in relation to women (39.8%), members in socioeconomic strata 1, 2 and 3 and age groups between 5 and 93 years old, with a high percentage that does not receive any type of income (79.2%). The main disabilities identified were mobility and the degree of functioning located between no deficiency and moderate deficiency with a relationship of dependence with the social determinants of health.
Conclusions
The study shows an evident relationship between the social determinants and the functioning profile of people with disabilities. Gender, level of education, income and socioeconomic status are elements that determine the degree of functionality of people with disabilities. It is fundamental, in the development of public policies aimed at the well-being of this type of population, that these factors are considered to ensure success in the implementation of appropriate policies.
