Abstract (English): Background: Health professionals serve as social role models, and when they present addictive risk behaviors, their credibility is compromised. Objective: To determine the prevalence of addictive risk behaviors among primary healthcare professionals in Mexico and Cuba during the period from January to March 2025. Material and methods: A descriptive and analytical study was conducted. The MULTICAGE CAD-4 was administered to 238 healthcare workers. The analysis included 93 professionals from a Family Medicine Unit in Michoacán (Mexico) and from a Polyclinic in Villa Clara (Cuba). Descriptive statistics were calculated, and the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test was used to determine statistically significant differences. Results: Mexican participants had a mean age of 35.33 years, and 55.7% were men. Cuban participants had a mean age of 36.43 years, and 75% were women. Self-identified addictive risk behaviors in both groups were pathological shopping, internet use, and alcohol consumption. Predominant feelings of guilt in both groups were associated with internet use, tobacco, and alcohol. Tobacco use generated greater lack of control. The only scale showing statistically significant differences was gambling (p = 0.035), which was more prevalent among Cubans. Conclusions: The predominant addictive risk behaviors among healthcare professionals in Mexico and Cuba were pathological shopping, compulsive internet use, and problematic alcohol consumption. Psychosocial interventions are urgently needed to prevent addictive risk behaviors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Introducción: los profesionales de la salud son modelos sociales, y cuando presentan riesgos adictivos se compromete su credibilidad. Objetivo: determinar la prevalencia de comportamientos de riesgos adictivos en profesionales sanitarios de la atención primaria de salud en México y Cuba, durante el periodo de enero a marzo del 2025. Material y métodos: estudio descriptivo y analítico. Se aplicó MULTICAGE CAD-4 a 238 trabajadores sanitarios. El análisis incluyó 93 profesionales de una Unidad de Medicina Familiar de Michoacán (México) y de un Policlínico de Villa Clara (Cuba). Se calcularon estadísticas descriptivas y se utilizó la prueba no paramétrica U de Mann-Whitney para determinar diferencias estadísticamente significativas. Resultados: los mexicanos tenían una edad promedio de 35.33 años y el 55.7% eran hombres. Los cubanos promediaban 36.43 años y el 75% eran mujeres. Los comportamientos de riesgo adictivo autoidentificados en ambos grupos fueron las compras patológicas, el internet y el alcohol. Los sentimientos de culpa predominantes en ambos grupos fueron los asociados al internet, tabaco y alcohol. El consumo de tabaco generó mayor incapacidad de control. La única escala que muestra diferencias significativas fue la del juego (p = 0.035) y predominó entre los cubanos. Conclusiones: los comportamientos de riesgos adictivos predominantes en los profesionales de la salud de México y Cuba fueron las compras patológicas, el uso compulsivo del internet y el consumo problemático de alcohol. Urgen intervenciones psicosociales para evitar comportamientos de riesgo adictivos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
