ABSTRACT

Background: leptospirosis is a zoonosis with worldwide distribution that can occur in urban and rural areas whose evident resurgence is illustrated in recent outbreaks on all continents.
Objective: to develop an educational program on leptospirosis in the Doctor´s Office 036-11, in the town of Jibacoa, Manicaragua.
Methods: a pre-experimental study of educational intervention approved by specialists was carried out at Doctor´s Office 036-11, in Jibacoa, Manicaragua from March 2020 to March 2022. Theoretical methods were used: analysis-synthesis, inductive-deductive and historical-logical; empirical: documentary analysis and questionnaire; and mathematical-statistical for the analysis of the data found.
Results: male workers predominated in the diagnosis, most of them at risk of contracting leptospirosis, the presence of domestic animals and rodents, and inadequate knowledge about the disease. The analysis of the health situation allowed to characterize the rural community with favorable conditions for the proliferation of leptospirosis, for which an educational program was designed to train the inhabitants of the place on the subject, which was valued by specialist criteria.
Conclusions: after being assessed as adequate, it was applied and demonstrated its effectiveness by positively modifying the knowledge of the inhabitants at risk within that rural community.
