Question

Functional gastrointestinal symptoms (FGS), of which irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most prevalent, represent a considerable burden on the global public health system, reflected in their high incidence, recurrence, and negative impact on the quality of life of those who suffer from them. In Honduras, recent studies indicate that approximately 15% of the population between 25 and 55 years of age has IBS, with women being the most affected group (El Mundo, 2024; La Prensa, 2022). These disorders manifest mainly with abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation, symptoms that, although functional, generate significant demand on the health system and affect productivity and social well-being. In this context, the study focused on the prevalence and factors associated with FGS in the population aged 12 to 49 in the communities assigned to the 6th rotation of the Public Health IV course, which is of utmost importance for primary health care in Honduras. Primary health care (PHC) is the fundamental pillar of the Honduran National Health Model, oriented toward the promotion, prevention, early detection, and comprehensive management of diseases at the community level, which allows for a timely and efficient response to problems of high frequency and social burden. Understanding the local prevalence and sociodemographic and environmental factors associated with GFS will allow PHC professionals to identify at-risk patients in a timely manner, improve diagnostic quality, and design appropriate preventive strategies aligned with national policies and the capabilities of community services. Furthermore, the study will contribute to strengthening the practical training of medical students, preparing future physicians capable of comprehensively addressing gastrointestinal health challenges in the community. Therefore, this research is presented as an essential tool for planning and managing public health in Honduras, which aims to reduce morbidity and improve the quality of life of the affected population, fulfilling the strategic objectives of the National Health Model focused on primary care. humanize text

Los síntomas gastrointestinales funcionales (SGI), especialmente el síndrome del intestino irritable (SII), son comunes y representan una gran carga para la salud pública. Son frecuentes, tienden a reaparecer y reducen la calidad de vida de las personas. En Honduras, informes recientes estiman que alrededor del 15 % de los adultos de entre 25 y 55 años padecen SII, siendo las mujeres las más afectadas (El Mundo, 2024; La Prensa, 2022). Los síntomas típicos incluyen dolor abdominal, distensión abdominal, diarrea y estreñimiento. Si bien estos son trastornos "funcionales", aún generan muchas visitas clínicas y afectan la productividad y el bienestar social. Nuestro estudio analiza la frecuencia de la SGF y los factores asociados a ella en personas de 12 a 49 años de comunidades asignadas a la sexta rotación del curso de Salud Pública IV. Este enfoque se integra perfectamente con el enfoque de Atención Primaria de Salud (APS) de Honduras, pilar del Modelo Nacional de Salud. La APS prioriza la promoción, la prevención, la detección temprana y la atención integral a nivel comunitario para que los problemas se aborden con rapidez y eficiencia. Al comprender la prevalencia local y los factores sociales, demográficos y ambientales asociados a la FGS, los equipos de APS pueden identificar precozmente a los pacientes en riesgo, mejorar la precisión diagnóstica y diseñar estrategias de prevención que se ajusten a las políticas nacionales y a la capacidad de los servicios comunitarios. El proyecto también fortalece la formación práctica de los estudiantes de medicina, preparándolos para abordar problemas gastrointestinales en entornos comunitarios reales. En resumen, esta investigación constituye una herramienta práctica para la planificación de la salud pública en Honduras. Su objetivo es reducir la incidencia de enfermedades, mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas afectadas y avanzar en los objetivos de atención primaria del Modelo Nacional de Salud.
