Objetivo: analizar las capacidades de investigación en determinantes sociales de la salud (dss) existentes en Colombia a partir de la información registrada en la plataforma de Colciencias entre enero del 2005 y abril del 2012, así como la opinión de coordinadores de grupos de investigación. Metodología: se diseñó un estudio observacional descriptivo sobre la base Scienti de Colciencias, específicamente sobre aspectos relacionados con los grupos, los investigadores y la producción científica sobre dss. Se complementó con cuestionarios y grupos focales con previo consentimiento informado y estudio del sistema nacional de investigación. Resultados: entre los 65 grupos registrados en el Programa de Ciencias de la Salud de Colciencias (6%) se han publicado 123 productos, mediante artículo científico en idioma español (48%). Privilegian estudios de poblaciones demográficamente relevantes sobre sistemas de salud, inequidad en salud y enfermedades prevalentes, elaborados con métodos empírico analíticos y algunos en proyectos en red de carácter nacional. Las dificultades se refieren al escaso respaldo político e institucional local y nacional para investigar en DSS, poca interacción con formuladores de políticas y con otros grupos en otros idiomas. Conclusiones: predominan los estudios con el enfoque propuesto por la Comisión de Determinantes Sociales de la Salud en 2005. Recomendaciones: fortalecer capacidades de investigación en dss desde diversos enfoques, especialmente los latinoamericanos, desarrollar proyectos colaborativos en red y movilizar acción colectiva con incidencia en políticas de investigación en salud pro equidad. - Objective: This paper focuses on the research groups registered in the Colciencias platform from January 2005 to April 2012 in order to analyze their ability to conduct research on the social determinants of health (sdh) as well as the opinion of the coordinators of such groups. Methodology: a descriptive observational study focusing on the Colciencias Scienti platform (which holds information on Colombian research groups) and particularly on aspects such as the groups, the researchers and the sdh-related research products. The study was complemented with questionnaires, focus groups and a study on the national system for research. In addition, researchers signed an informed consent form before participating in the study. Results: the 65 groups registered in Colciencias’ Health Sciences Program (6%) have published 123 products in the form of scientific papers written in Spanish (48%). Moreover, the predominant studies are those conducted with demographically relevant populations, focusing on health systems, health inequity and prevalent diseases, and based on empirical and analytical methods, as well as the network projects of national scope. The difficulties identified were: scarce political and institutional support for local and national research on the sdh and reduced interaction with policy makers and with other groups speaking other languages. Conclusions: studies based on the approach proposed by the Commission on Social Determinants of Health in 2005 were predominant. Recommendations: it is essential to strengthen the ability to conduct research on the SDH using different approaches -particularly the Latin American approaches-; likewise collaborative network projects should be developed and collective actions should be taken which affect the health research policies for equity

Resumen Objetivo:este artículo presenta una revisión crítica para desentrañar el rol de los profesionales de la salud en atención primaria en salud. Metodología:mediante revisión narrativa se analizan conceptos de atención primaria en salud, sus conexiones con diferentes modelos de salud, el papel del equipo de salud tanto en la Atención Primaria en Salud como en sus diferentes enfoques. La revisión se amplía a las funciones del profesional de la salud en este campo y del médico general, en particular, así como sobre su accionar y capacitación. Discusión: se argumenta a partir de algunas preguntas sobre cuál es el papel de los profesionales de la salud en el sistema y el rol que deben jugar en la atención primaria y en la organización de los servicios de salud. Se particulariza en el sistema de salud colombiano y se hace énfasis en el cambio que se requiere del médico general, históricamente más ligado a la clínica y al hegemonismo del modelo biomédico. Conclusión: se presenta un boceto sobre la formación para las nuevas demandas en el actual momento, en tres dimensiones macro, meso y micro de la realidad sociosanitaria, sin desconocer las limitaciones estructurales del sistema colombiano que lo afectarán./ Abstract Objective: this paper presents a critical review of the role of health professionals in primary health care.
