Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the level of Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices on the nutritional traffic light in the personnel of the Huambaló Type "B" Health Center. The tool used for the respective data collection was a CAP survey carried out by the student in charge of this study, to be later validated by health professionals and applied; the data collected is tabulated using the Excel 2017 and JAMOVI programs. General data of 47 people from the health area, men and women, as well as the role they play are taken into account. The results indicate that the staff surveyed has a medium level of knowledge with 58%, an average attitude of 67% in almost the majority of the participants and finally the practices at the medium level of 57% with respect to the subject matter. Based on these results, an educational intervention was carried out for a month where information was provided on the nutritional traffic light found in processed products and at the end a second survey was applied. It is concluded that after the intervention the professionals reflected greater knowledge, their attitudes improved, and the practices in the same way, but in less response because it takes time, in addition the proposed hypothesis is rejected since the knowledge is related to the variable attitudes with a correlation within 0.05, while practices are less than the established range. It is recommended in the study to involve more health personnel with the nutritional traffic light to promote its use.
