ABSTRACT
Objective. To compare the clinical aptitude in preeclampsy
and eclampsy attention in medical personnel that work in first
level of attention.
Materials and methods. A cross-sectional,
prospective comparative study was performed to compare the
clinical aptitude in pre-eclampsy and eclampsy attention in family
practice physicians. A questionnaire comprising four clinical
real cases, that belong to maternal death cases developed in
the previous year of the study, was applied to 77 doctors that
work at a familiar medicine unit. This questionnaire was formed
by 109 statements, 54 were true correct answers and 55
were false correct answers. To compare the clinical aptitude
among the group of physicians evaluated, a Kruskal-Wallis and
U Mann-Whitney tests were used.
Results. In general any difference
were observed in the clinical aptitude in pre-eclampsy
and eclampsy according to the obtained academic degree and
the antiquity at work (p = NS). The clinical aptitude level identified
was the mean level, with a medium of 57 to 74 of a theoretical
total of 109.
Conclusions. The development grade about
clinical aptitude that present family practice physicians was not
the desirable, for the optimal attention in this pathology.
