Metodología: Estudio transversal, con pacientes del Distrito Málaga atendidos por una enfermera de enero 2012 a marzo 2013 y por equipos con médico en 2012. Se hizo un análisis descriptivo, Chi cuadrado y regresiones logísticas multivariantes. Resultados: 641 pacientes atendió la enfermera.

El equipo médico atendió 7430 motivos similares de 21226 demandas. El incumplimiento y manejo inefectivo del tratamiento se asoció a demandas por dolor no oncológico, hipo/hipertensión e hipo/hiperglucemia. El manejo inefectivo de dispositivos sanitarios y las respuestas inadecuadas de afrontamiento se asociaron a demandas sin patología.

Methods: Cross-sectional study, including patients from Málaga District attended by a nurse from January 2012 to March 2013, and by medical teams in 2012. Statistical analysis included descriptive data analysis, Chi-squared test and multivariate logistic regression. Results: 641 patients were attended by the nurse. The causes were: Cervical-Back-sciatica pain (13.9%), dizziness/vertigo (9.5%), No pathology (8.4%), High/Low blood pressure (7.8%), etc. Three patients, with high blood pressure or restlessness, required attention by the medical team 24 hours later.
