Se realizó un estudio para establecer la prevalencia de consumo de sustancias psicoactivas (SPA) en médicos y enfermeros de dos Instituciones Prestadoras de Salud (IPS) de consulta externa de Bogotá, para identificar las frecuencias de consumo, para establecer la prevalencia de alcoholismo empleando el índice CAGE y para explorar el interés en participar en programas de prevención o reducción de consumo en el ambiente laboral. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio de corte transversal mediante la aplicación de una encuesta anónima autodiligenciada. Resultados: se aplicaron cincuenta y ocho encuestas (treinta y ocho en médicos y veinte en enfermeros). Las sustancias más consumidas en ambos grupos fueron alcohol, cigarrillo y bebidas energizantes, seguidas en médicos por marihuana y en enfermeros por barbitúricos, antidepresivos, anfetaminas y opiáceos. La prevalencia de alcoholismo fue superior a 8% en ambos grupos. Un 58% de los médicos y 70% de los enfermeros participaría en el diseño de programas de salud ocupacional para reducir el consumo de sustancias psicoactivas. Conclusiones: el consumo de SPA está por encima del encontrado en la literatura para la mayoría de las sustancias en la población general y es similar al revisado para personal de salud. Se recomienda la formulación e implementación de una política empresarial dentro del marco de trabajo en salud ocupacional de estas instituciones, encaminada a la reducción y prevención del consumo de sustancias psicoactivas.
