description Introduction: In Family Medicine, the use of genograms and ecomaps is useful for clinical, family and community practice, in the field of primary health care; however, its role has only been evaluated in the clinical setting. Objectives: To characterize the families participating in the community project from the genograms and ecomaps made by the resident doctors in a neighborhood of the city of Tunja, (Boyacá). Materials and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out, compiling information from the genograms and ecomaps applied to the participating families. Results: 49 families were described mainly nuclear, small and bi-generational, with strong internal parental, conjugal and fraternal relationships, with solid external relationships with religion, work and the exterior family. Significant variability was found in the completion of the instruments by the residents. Conclusions: Genograms and ecomaps are instruments that have been used in the clinical context, and are relevant for knowing and analyzing health conditions in the community and family environment, since they can identify weaknesses and strengths, to facilitate the intervention in internal relationships and outside the family.

Introducción: En la medicina familiar, el uso del genograma y el ecomapa es útil para la práctica clínica, familiar y comunitaria, en el ámbito de la atención primaria de la salud; sin embargo, solo se ha evaluado su función en el ámbito clínico. Objetivos: Caracterizar las familias participantes en un proyecto comunitario a partir de los genogramas y ecomapas realizados por los médicos residentes en un barrio de la ciudad de Tunja (Boyacá). Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, recopilando la información de los genogramas y ecomapas aplicados a las familias participantes. Resultados: Se describen 49 familias, principalmente nucleares, pequeñas y bigeneracionales, con fuertes relaciones internas parentales, conyugales y fraternales, con relaciones externas fuertes con la religión, el trabajo y la familia externa. Se encontró importante variabilidad en el diligenciamiento de los instrumentos por los residentes. Conclusiones: El genograma y el ecomapa son instrumentos que se han usado en el contexto clínico, y tienen relevancia para conocer y analizar las condiciones de salud en el ámbito comunitario y familiar, dado que identifican debilidades y fortalezas que facilitan intervenir en las relaciones internas y externas de la familia. Introdução: Na medicina familiar, o uso do genograma e do ecomapa é útil para a prática clínica, familiar e comunitária, no cenário da atenção primária à saúde; entretanto, seu papel só foi avaliado no cenário clínico. Objetivos: Caracterizar as famílias participantes de um projeto comunitário baseado em genogramas e ecomapas realizado por médicos residentes em um bairro da cidade de Tunja (Boyacá). Materiais e métodos: Foi realizado um estudo descritivo de corte transversal, compilando informações dos genogramas e ecomapas aplicados às famílias participantes. Resultados: São descritas 49 famílias, principalmente nucleares, pequenas e bigeneracionais, com fortes relações internas parentais, conjugais e fraternas, com fortes relações externas com religião, trabalho e família externa. Foi encontrada uma variabilidade significativa no preenchimento dos instrumentos pelos residentes. Conclusões: O genograma e o ecomapa são instrumentos que vêm sendo utilizados no contexto clínico e têm relevância para o conhecimento e a análise das condições de saúde no âmbito comunitário e familiar, uma vez que identificam pontos fracos e fortes que facilitam a intervenção nas relações internas e externas da família.
