Abstract

Objective: To describe the social determinants of health related to the appearance of extreme maternal morbidity in pregnant women from a health institution in the department of Sucre during the years 2018 - 2019. Materials and methods: Mixed study with secondary sources (Epidemiological surveillance system), direct observation at the places of residence and the application of a semi-structured interview to the group of survivors. Results: The incidence of the event was 1.4% of pregnant women attended. The average age was 24 years old, 37.5% belong to an ethnic group, 69.7% come from rural areas, with low educational levels (38%), living together in a free union (68.7%), First pregnant (56.2%), income late to prenatal controls (68.7%), average attendance of 3.5 controls. The determinants that are statistically related to the occurrence of the event were: educational level, ethnicity, possession of a romantic partner and number of controls attended. The quality of health services, poverty, geographic inaccessibility, and administrative barriers of insurance companies were the most prominent for pregnant women. Conclusion: The event occurs mainly in young pregnant women, with a low educational level and in rural areas. The determinants that were associated were: ethnicity, the number of prenatal check-ups attended, educational level and marital status; for pregnant women with maternal morbidity, low income, inaccessibility to health services and the presence of previous illnesses were the most important.
