Abstract
Desde el inicio de la pandemia, el personal del Hospital Regional de Ayacucho (HRA) ha trabajado incansablemente en beneficio de la población, enfrentando el SARS-CoV-2 y exponiéndose al virus más que la población en general. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la frecuencia de positividad del SARS-CoV-2 en el personal del HRA entre enero y abril de 2022. De tipo descriptivo-correlacional, el estudio incluyó a 1,186 trabajadores del HRA y siguió un diseño metodológico observacional transversal, recopilando información sin alterar el entorno. Esto permitió estimar la frecuencia del SARS-CoV-2 en un momento específico y estudiar la asociación entre variables demográficas y laborales con la positividad al virus mediante la prueba del Chi cuadrado (P<0,005) y el cálculo del odds ratio (OR) para cuantificar la magnitud de la asociación. La frecuencia de positividad del SARS-CoV-2 fue del 33.38% entre los trabajadores encuestados. Se observó un predominio de positividad en el personal femenino (78.8%) en comparación con el masculino (21.2%). El grupo ocupacional más afectado fue el área asistencial, con un 90.9%, mostrando una asociación estadísticamente significativa con la positividad al SARS-CoV-2 en comparación con el área no asistencial. Además, el 23.5% de los positivos presentaban condiciones de riesgo, mientras que el 76.5% no. Las variables demográficas y laborales estudiadas no mostraron una asociación significativa con la frecuencia de positividad del SARS-CoV-2.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the staff at the Regional Hospital of Ayacucho (HRA) has worked tirelessly for the benefit of the population, facing SARS-CoV-2 and being exposed to the virus more than the general population. This study aimed to determine the frequency of SARS-CoV-2 positivity among the HRA staff from January to April 2022. The study was descriptive-correlational and included 1,186 HRA workers. It followed a cross-sectional observational methodological design, collecting information without altering the environment. This allowed for estimating the frequency of SARS-CoV-2 at a specific moment and studying the association between demographic and labor variables with virus positivity using the Chi-square test (P<0.005) and calculating the odds ratio (OR) to quantify the magnitude of the association. The frequency of SARS-CoV-2 positivity was 33.38% among the surveyed workers. A higher positivity rate was observed in female staff (78.8%) compared to male staff (21.2%). The most affected occupational group was the healthcare area, with 90.9%, showing a statistically significant association with SARS-CoV-2 positivity compared to the non-healthcare area. Additionally, 23.5% of the positives had risk conditions, while 76.5% did not. The demographic and labor variables studied did not show a significant association with the frequency of SARS-CoV-2 positivity
