Prácticas culturales postvacunales de cuidadoras de niños menores de 2 años

Introduction. In the field of child health, cultural practices play a fundamental role in the response of caregivers of children under 2 years of age to post-vaccination reactions. These generationally inherited practices influence decision-making regarding care and adherence to vaccination schedules. Therefore, caregivers use natural remedies to relieve symptoms when managing local reactions—such as pain, redness, and systemic reactions, such as fever and malaise. Objective. To consolidate the post-vaccination cultural practices of caregivers of children under 2 years of age available in the literature reviewed. Methodology. A descriptive, documentary, and cross-sectional study was conducted through the review and analysis of scientific articles from repositories and indexed scientific journals. Results. The most influential practices include the use of herbal infusions (cachurro, sage, chamomile), topical applications (potato slices, menthol ointment), and behavioral restrictions (avoiding bathing) and the administration of paracetamol. These practices, although not yet supported, can interfere with immunization efficacy. Therefore, education is necessary to build trust and to align medication between Western and traditional medicine. Conclusion. The influence of traditional knowledge, caregivers' previous experiences, and the sociocultural environment in child care after vaccination allows nursing staff to strengthen interculturality and respect for maternal beliefs to promote safe practices through educational communication skills such as posters that reinforce compliance with required immunizations.
