Resumen

Fundamento. Se analiza la relación entre las necesidades de atención médica no cubiertas (UHN) y la situación laboral, y si esta relación se vio modificada por la recesión económica de 2008-2012.

Metodología. Se obtuvieron datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud de España de 2006 y de 2011-2012. La variable de resultado fue la existencia de UHN, describiéndose sus motivos. Se consideró el periodo (pre-crisis/crisis) y variables demográficas (sexo, edad, ciudadanía española), de empleo, sociales (nivel de estudios, estado civil, clase social) y de salud (autoevaluada, cronicidad y limitaciones). Mediante regresión logística se predijo la existencia de UHN según periodo, situación laboral y variables de control.

Resultados. La frecuencia de UHN fue baja y disminuyó aún más durante la crisis (5 vs 3%). Las UHN se asociaron más con el estado de salud que con la situación laboral. En todo caso, las necesidades de atención médica no cubiertas de los desempleados aumentarían en el período de crisis en comparación con el período anterior a la crisis.

Conclusiones. Los grupos más vulnerables (con más necesidades de atención médica no cubiertas) fueron las mujeres, las personas con menos nivel educativo, y los individuos menos sanos, por lo que requerirían una atención más pormenorizada. Estos hallazgos deben interpretarse considerando que el Sistema Nacional de Salud español, completamente descentralizado, brinda atención médica y protección a todos los residentes.
