Resumen
Este trabajo se propuso caracterizar la distribución espacial de la calidad de vida relacionada a la salud infantil en dos departamentos con diferente índice de bienestar de la provincia de Tucumán (Argentina). Específicamente, interesó determinar la prevalencia de niños y niñas con bajas apreciaciones de su calidad de vida relacionada a la salud y conocer sus manifestaciones territoriales, pormenorizando las diferencias urbano-rurales. Se realizó un estudio ecológico, exploratorio-descriptivo, transverso en 1647 escolares. Se administró el cuestionario internacional KIDSCREEN-52, que indaga la calidad de vida relacionada a la salud a partir de diez dimensiones; además, se desarrollaron índices espaciales. Los mapas temáticos permitieron detectar particularidades en los contextos estudiados. Se destacó que alrededor de la mitad de los niños/as evaluados/as se sintieron acosados/as y/o rechazados/as por sus pares, mientras que los sentimientos de tristeza comprometieron a uno de cada tres participantes. Los resultados de este trabajo identificaron y delimitaron zonas de actuación prioritarias, detectando problemáticas infantiles específicas que requieren especial atención. Finalmente, la cartografía resultante constituye un insumo susceptible de ser utilizado en el planeamiento territorial de la atención a la salud, mejora de la calidad de vida y reducción de las desigualdades.
The aim of this work was to characterize the spatial distribution of health-related quality of life in children from two departments with different welfare index in Tucumán (Argentina). Specifically, it was determined the prevalence of children with low appreciations of their health-related quality of life and their territorial manifestations, detailing urban-rural differences. An ecologi-cal, exploratory-descriptive, transverse study was carried out on 1647 schoolchildren. The KIDSCREEN-52 international questionnaire was applied, it explores ten dimensions of health-related quality of life, and also, spatial indexes were developed. The thematic maps allowed to detect particularities in the studied contexts. About half of the children evaluated felt harassed and /or rejected by their peers, while feelings of sadness compromised one in three participants. The results of this work identified and delimited priority ac-tion areas, detecting specific child problems that require special attention. Finally, the resulting cartography constitutes an input that can be used in the territorial planning of health care, improving the quality of life and reducing inequalities
