Resumen
La pandemia de COVID-19 interrumpió significativamente los esfuerzos de prevención de enfermedades crónicas (CDP, por sus siglas en inglés) en Canadá, lo que redujo el financiamiento, el personal y las actividades en las organizaciones de salud pública. El monitoreo continuo es crucial para la preparación para emergencias y la priorización del CDP durante las crisis de salud.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Salud pública
- Epidemiología
- Investigación en servicios de salud
Sus antecedentes:
- La pandemia de COVID-19 presentó desafíos sin precedentes para las iniciativas de salud pública a nivel mundial.
- Los esfuerzos de prevención de enfermedades crónicas (CDP) en Canadá experimentaron interrupciones significativas debido a la pandemia.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Describir el impacto de la pandemia de COVID-19 en los recursos y actividades del CDP dentro de las organizaciones canadienses de salud pública.
- Identificar los desafíos y cambios específicos experimentados por las organizaciones involucradas en el CDP.
Principales métodos:
- Se realizó una encuesta entre las organizaciones canadienses con mandatos primarios de CDP, incluidas las organizaciones de recursos y usuarios.
- Los informantes clave informaron sobre los cambios relacionados con la pandemia en los recursos y actividades del CDP.
- Las organizaciones de usuarios detallaron los cambios en las actividades específicas del CDP y el impacto de las medidas de contención.
Principales resultados:
- El 36% de las organizaciones informaron de una disminución de la financiación del CDP, y entre el 30% y el 41% experimentaron reducciones de personal.
- El 32% informó de una disminución en las actividades de CDP, siendo las organizaciones con mandato formal de los usuarios (OFM) las más afectadas.
- A pesar de las interrupciones, algunas organizaciones aumentaron las actividades, especialmente las dirigidas a la salud mental y a las poblaciones marginadas; el 53% encontró que las restricciones por COVID-19 eran barreras.
Conclusiones:
- La pandemia requirió adaptaciones en la entrega de CDP, destacando las vulnerabilidades en la infraestructura de salud pública.
- El seguimiento continuo de los recursos y actividades del CDP es esencial para una preparación eficaz ante emergencias.
- Mantener el CDP como una prioridad durante las crisis de salud pública es fundamental para los resultados de salud de la población a largo plazo.

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.

Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.

When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.
