SOCIO-CULTURAL FACTORS OF MATERNAL INFANT MORBIMORTALITY, WAYÚU COMMUNITY, JURISDICTION OF NAZARET, MUNICIPALITY OF URIBÍA DEPARTMENT OF LA GUAJIRA.

The research team identified a significant problem regarding maternal and infant morbidity and mortality rates in the Wayuu community of Nazareth, Colombia. They gathered information from two sources: a university student from the Wayuu ethnic group who reported the concerning situation within the village, and data from various agencies and reports, which confirmed a rise in morbidity and mortality rates from 2015 to 2019.

Further investigation revealed that several factors, including socioeconomic and cultural conditions unique to the Wayuu community and limited access to healthcare services, were contributing to this issue. The Wayuu community's customs and traditional health practices also played a role.

Given the complexity of the problem, the research aims to deeply study the sociocultural factors affecting maternal and infant health in the Wayuu community. The goal is to develop a scientific understanding of how these factors influence morbidity and mortality rates and, ultimately, to design public health policies that integrate traditional Wayuu medicine and worldview with state healthcare practices. This approach seeks to bridge the gap between two distinct cultures and improve the health and well-being of pregnant women and children in the Wayuu community, with the potential to extend these solutions to the broader Wayuu population in Colombia.

研究团队在哥伦比亚纳萨雷特地区的瓦尤社区中，识别出母婴发病率与死亡率存在显著问题。他们从两个来源收集了信息：一位来自瓦尤族的大学生，报告了村庄内令人担忧的情况，以及来自多个机构和报告的数据，这些数据证实了从2015年至2019年发病率与死亡率呈上升趋势。进一步的调查揭示了几个因素，包括瓦尤社区特有的社会经济和文化条件以及医疗服务获取的局限性，共同导致了这一问题的出现。瓦尤社区的风俗和传统医疗实践也扮演了角色。鉴于问题的复杂性，研究旨在深入探究影响瓦尤社区母婴健康的社文化因素。目标是为这些因素如何影响发病率和死亡率提供一个科学理解，并最终设计出能够将传统瓦尤医学和世界观与国家医疗实践相结合的公共卫生政策。这种方法旨在弥合两种不同文化之间的鸿沟，改善瓦尤社区孕妇和儿童的健康状况，并有可能将此方案扩展至哥伦比亚更广泛的瓦尤人群。
