ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The spread of the new coronavirus responsible for COVID-19 threatens the lives of millions of infants, for which, in most countries, children have been confined to their homes, which proportionally favors their protection. In general terms, the family has not shown preparation to handle with quality the permanent coexistence of the children at home and there are violations of the physical isolation of the minors.
Objective:
To analyze the perceptions of health personnel about the family care and protection of children through social isolation.
Methods: An exploratory study was carried out under a descriptive cross-sectional design, in “26 de Julio” People´s Council in Holguín municipality from December 2020 to May 2021. A survey was applied to health personnel (n = 17) associated with the investigations in said health area.
Results:
Strengths and weaknesses in medical care for families with children in the studied area were identified. One hundred percent of the participants identified the studies as an excellent tool for promoting compliance with the isolation of children. According to the criteria of 96.1% of the respondents, violations of children's physical distancing occurred in the selected health area.
Conclusions:
The family has a fundamental role in the fulfillment of the isolation of the children and, at the same time, it is committed to achieving quality in this process. However, the violation of childhood distancing is evident as a result of family indiscipline, which increases the vulnerability of childhood.
