Dimensiones éticas de la prevención y planificación en los centros sociosanitarios durante la pandemia por SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19): una emergencia de salud pública. Rev Esp Salud Pública. 2020;94: 7 de septiembre e202009105.NIPO: 731-19-103-5http://hdl.handle.net/10668/3388La pandemia por SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) ha tenido un gran impacto en los residentes de centros sociosanitarios. Es probable que las características de estos pacientes y su especial fragilidad clínica hayan contribuido a una mayor vulnerabilidad a la infección, pero no se pueden descartar otros factores asociados a la misma como son la gestión de los centros y la falta de planificación de las actuaciones antes y durante la crisis sanitaria. Ambos aspectos pertenecen al ámbito de la salud pública, donde la ética del bien común entra en conflicto con la autonomía de las personas.The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (Covid-19) has had a major impact on residents of assisted-living facilities. While it is plausible that the characteristics of these patients and their special clinical fragility have contributed to their greater vulnerability to infection, other related factors cannot be ruled out, such as the quality of management at these centers and the lack of planning for actions taken before and during the health crisis. Both aspects pertain to the field of public health, where the ethics of the common good conflicts with the autonomy of the individual.8 p.spaSARS-CoV-2Centros sociosanitariosSalud públicaPlanificación de emergenciasÉticaSocial health centersPublic healthEmergency planningEthicMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Health Care Facilities, Manpower, and Services::Health Facilities::Residential Facilities::Assisted Living FacilitiesMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Virus Diseases::RNA Virus Infections::Nidovirales Infections::Coronaviridae Infections::Coronavirus InfectionsMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Health Care Economics and Organizations::Health Planning::Regional Health Planning::Community Health PlanningMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::HumansMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Environment and Public Health::Public Health::Disease Outbreaks::Epidemics::PandemicsMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Environment and Public Health::Public HealthMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Environment and Public Health::Public Health::Epidemiologic Factors::Causality::Risk FactorsMedical Subject Headings::Geographical Locations::Geographic Locations::Europe::SpainMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Health Care Quality, Access, and Evaluation::Ethicsresearch article32894259open access2173-9110
