Esta tesis aborda el conocimiento de la Fiebre Hemorrágica Argentina, una zoonosis viral endémica grave, entre docentes de escuelas secundarias en Pergamino. La investigación, centrada en los Conocimientos, Actitudes y Prácticas de docentes, reveló un panorama preocupante: los/as docentes poseen conocimientos fragmentados y una baja percepción de riesgo, lo que se traduce en prácticas deficientes y una baja tasa de vacunación. El problema principal identificado es una deuda estructural en el sistema educativo: la Fiebre Hemorrágica Argentina no figura en los diseños curriculares ni es una prioridad educativa. Este estudio concluye que es urgente implementar políticas educativas y capacitación docente que incorporen la educación sanitaria territorializada para fortalecer el rol de la escuela en la salud pública.
This thesis examines the level of knowledge of Argentine Hemorrhagic Fever, a severe endemic viral zoonosis, among teachers in secondary schools in Pergamino, Argentina. The research that focuses on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the teaching staff reveals a concerning situation: teachers demonstrate fragmented knowledge and a low perception of risk, which translates into inadequate preventive practices and low vaccination rate. The main problem identified is a gap within the educational system, as Argentine Hemorrhagic Fever is neither included in the school curricula nor established as an educational priority. This study concludes that there is an urgent need to implement educational policies and teacher training programs that incorporate territorialized health education in order to strengthen the role of schools in public health promotion and disease prevention.
