Abstract
Objective: To determine the satisfaction of Quechua-speaking women in climacteric stage of a rural Peruvian area with respect to primary health care provided by midwives. Method: Descriptive cross-sectional observational study, with a total of 690 Quechua-speaking women in climacteric stage from the rural community of Macashca (3,384 masl), Huaraz province, Ancash-Peru, whose primary health care was carried out by midwives. A questionnaire was applied between October 2019 and February 2020. The information was processed using the IBM SPSS version 22.0® statistical package, applying a descriptive statistical analysis. Results: 72.1% of the women were totally satisfied with the health care provided by midwives, highlighting the interest shown in the health status of the users (71.3%), use of the Quechua language (75.4%), treatment received (74.3%), resolution of doubts (69.5%), information on the relief of climacteric symptoms (67.1%) and home follow-up (74.9%). Conclusions: The majority of Quechua-speaking women in climacteric stage stated that they were fully satisfied with the primary health care provided by midwives, where the most highly valued aspects were the use of the Quechua language, home follow-up, treatment received, and interest shown in the health status of the women; being able to consider improvements with respect to the information on the relief of climacteric symptoms and the resolution of doubts.
