| description | Introduction: COVID-19 does not distinguish between age, race or sex. Children and young people constitute a sector of the population that does not escape this reality.
Objective: to design an educational intervention aimed at raising awareness and preparedness about COVID-19 in adolescents aged 15 to 18 years, admitted to Facultad de Ciencias Médicas de Guantánamo isolation center for suspected cases of SARS-CoV-2.
Method: between January 2021 and March 2021, an experimental study of an educational intervention type was carried out. The population was made up of adolescents admitted in the center, all included in the aforementioned age range. A total of 97 intentionally selected adolescents were included in the study. Inquires about the level of information they had on the subject were made, before and after applying the educational intervention.
Results: before the implementation of the educational intervention, 50.5% of the adolescents expressed having an insufficient level of information regarding COVID-19, and this proportion decreased to 21.6% after applying it; which meant a 57.2% reduction in adolescents with theoretical deficiencies regarding the subject. The percentage that increased their preparation was 36.9% (p <0.05), which indicated the advantage of implementing the educational intervention.
Conclusions: the educational intervention aimed at adolescents suspected of SARS-Cov-2 infection makes it possible to improve knowledge regarding COVID-19. |
