Unveiling Conceptions of Development and Health Status in Diaguita Children within the Framework of Primary Health Care

Abstract

Introducción: La supervisión del crecimiento y desarrollo infantil es un deber que responde a imperativos jurídicos, éticos y de salud pública, fundamentales para el bienestar biopsicosocial y el potencial humano. A pesar de los avances en políticas sanitarias, las infancias indígenas de Chile presentan peores indicadores sanitarios que la población general. Objetivo: Entender el significado de desarrollo y salud de las infancias diaguita atendidas en el marco de la atención primaria en salud. Metodología: Diseño cualitativo fenomenológico a través del análisis secundario de 11 entrevistas a 8 madres de familias diaguita y 3 profesionales de salud que atienden a esta población. Resultados: El análisis reveló 3 categorías principales: I. Percepciones sobre los aspectos tradicionales del desarrollo y bienestar infantil; II. Legado cultural y comunitario diaguita; y III. Experiencias con los sistemas de salud. Conclusión: Las familias diaguita de Atacama entienden el desarrollo infantil desde una visión holística, vinculada a su cosmovisión y legado ancestral compartida en las familias y comunidad. Su experiencia con la atención sanitaria afecta su evaluación y adherencia a la atención primaria y salud, al percibir escaso interés hacia su cultura y tratos discriminatorios. El personal de salud también reconoce la falta de herramientas para ofrecer una atención culturalmente pertinente.

Introdução: A supervisão do crescimento e desenvolvimento infantil é um dever que responde a imperativos jurídicos, éticos e de saúde pública, fundamentais para o bem-estar biopsicossocial e o potencial humano. Apesar dos avanços nas políticas sanitárias, as crianças indígenas do Chile apresentam piores indicadores sanitários do que a população geral. Objetivo: Compreender o significado de desenvolvimento e saúde das crianças diaguita atendidas no âmbito da atenção primária em saúde (APS). Metodologia: Desenho qualitativo fenomenológico, por meio da análise secundária de 11 entrevistas com 8 mães de famílias diaguita e 3 profissionais de saúde que atendem essa população. Resultados: A análise revelou 3 categorias principais: I. Percepções sobre os aspectos tradicionais do desenvolvimento e bem-estar infantil; II. Legado cultural e comunitário diaguita; e III. Experiências com os sistemas de saúde. Conclusão: As famílias diaguita do Atacama compreendem o desenvolvimento infantil a partir de uma visão holística, vinculada à sua cosmovisão e ao legado ancestral compartilhado nas famílias e na comunidade. Sua experiência com a atenção sanitária afeta sua avaliação e adesão à atenção primária à saúde, ao perceberem escasso interesse por sua cultura e tratos discriminatórios. A equipe de saúde também reconhece a falta de ferramentas para oferecer uma atenção culturalmente pertinente.

Introduction: Monitoring child growth and development is a duty that responds to legal, ethical, and public health imperatives, and is fundamental to biopsychosocial well-being and human potential. Despite advances in health policies, indigenous children in Chile exhibit worse health indicators than the general population. Objective: To understand the meaning of development and health for Diaguita children cared for within the framework of PHC. Methodology: A qualitative phenomenological design was used, involving secondary analysis of 11 interviews with 8 Diaguita mothers and 3 health professionals who serve this population. Results: the analysis revealed 3 main categories: I. Perceptions about traditional aspects of child development and well-being; II. Diaguita cultural and community heritage; and III. Experiences with health systems. Conclusion: Diaguita families in Atacama understand child development from a holistic perspective, closely linked to their worldview and ancestral heritage, which is shared within their families and communities. Their experience with healthcare impacts their assessment and adherence to primary care, as they perceive a lack of interest in their culture and discriminatory treatment. Healthcare personnel also recognize a lack of tools to provide culturally relevant care.
