It is endemic from tropical regions such as Latin America and it is considered a neglected public health issue. Therefore, the stated objectives were to identify the annual recorded cases of leishmaniasis in Yantzaza canton from 2013 to 2022 by sex, age, and climate condition; to establish the proportional annual trends based on climate conditions in Yantzaza canton from 2013 to 2022; and to design an audiovisual educational proposal for health centers and in Hospital Básico Yantzaza that supports the prevention of leishmaniasis cases in the canton. The study was carried out with data obtained from the MSP’s epidemiological bulletin previously reported through the Integrated Epidemiological Surveillance System (SIVE-Alert), using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for data processing. The study method was analytical with a mixed approach, descriptive with a cross-sectional design, and the study unit comprised 56 cases with confirmed diagnosis. Results demonstrated a higher prevalence of cases in the male sex at 82.1%, with the most affected age group being 20 to 49 years at 50%, primarily in males. Additionally, there was a slight difference in cases based on temperature, being higher in warm conditions (n=59); however, the difference was almost negligible, and no difference was observed in rainy versus dry climates. There was no predominance of cases by climatic season, and a slight decrease was observed over the past two years. An audiovisual resource was created with clear and concise information for the target audience, using images that aid in identifying lesions as an educational resource |
