Abstract
Objetivo: Identificar la efectividad de las plantas de interés medicinal sobre la
calidad de vida de la Comunidad Andina de Pampas, Tayacaja, Huancavelica, Perú.
Metodología: Estudio descritivo, no probabilístico, aplicándose 370 encuestas del tipo semiestructurada,
utilizando la técnica llamada “bola de nieve”, para la obtención de la
percepción de la “calidad de vida relacionada a la salud”, “índice de valor de uso” (IVU) de
las especies, “índice de factor de consenso del informante” (FCI) y teniendo en cuenta las
consideraciones éticas. Resultados: La Comunidad Andina de Pampas, disponen de 86
especies de plantas de interés medicinal; distribuyéndose en 82 géneros y 44 familias; donde
las Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Apiaceae, Cactaceae, Euphorbiaceae y Solanaceae, son las
representativas por las especies que contienen. Se muestran 21 especies con IVU > 0,50, que
reflejan la vital importancia que representan para la población. Se reportan 69 padecimientos
sufridos por la población, siendo asociados en 12 categorias; destacando las enfermedades
del sistema respiratorio (FCI: 0,80); seguidas del sistema digestivo y gastrointestinal (FCI:
0,75); sistema nervioso (FCI: 0,73); sistema músculo-esquelético (FCI: 0,73); sistema
urinario (FCI: 0,63); síntomas o padecimientos generales (FCI: 0,57); y, rituales (FCI: 0,50);
son aquellas, que en su gran mayoría son tratadas con medicina herbolaria. Conclusión: La
efectividad del empleo de plantas de interés medicinal en la Comunidad Andina de Pampas,
fue del el 100%, donde el 52% se “alivió” y el 48% se “curo”, no expresandose reporte
alguno sobre empeoramiento a causa del consumo. También se evidencia mejora del 82,8%
en la perspectiva de la calidad de vida.
Objective: To identify the effectiveness of plants of medicinal interest on the quality of life of the Andean Community of Pampas, Tayacaja, Huancavelica, Peru. Methodology: Descriptive, non-probabilistic study, applying 370 semi-structured surveys, using the technique called "snowball", to obtain the perception of "health-related quality of life", "value index of use” (IVU) of the species, “informant consensus factor index” (FCI) and taking into account ethical considerations. Results: The Andean Community of Pampas, have 86 species of plants of medicinal interest; distributed in 82 genera and 44 families; where the Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Apiaceae, Cactaceae, Euphorbiaceae and Solanaceae, are the representative ones for the species they contain. 21 species with IVU > 0.50 are shown, reflecting the vital importance they represent for the population. 69 illnesses suffered by the population are reported, being associated in 12 categories; highlighting diseases of the respiratory system (FCI: 0.80); followed by the digestive and gastrointestinal systems (FCI: 0.75); nervous system (FCI: 0.73); musculoskeletal system (FCI: 0.73); urinary system (FCI: 0.63); general symptoms or conditions (FCI: 0.57); and, rituals (FCI: 0.50); are those, which are mostly treated with herbal medicine. Conclusion: The effectiveness of the use of plants of medicinal interest in the Andean Community of Pampas was 100%, where 52% were "relieved" and 48% "cured", not expressing any report on worsening due to consumption. There is also evidence of an 82.8% improvement in the perspective of quality of life.
