An egocentric or personal network is composed of an ego, who is the main actor, and it alters people with whom it relates. These studies focus their research on relational ties, so that network analysis is optimal for describing and understanding the influence of alters on the development of health-related behaviors Objective: To describe the characteristics (composition, structure, and support) of egocentric networks of women of childbearing age attending the gynecology service of a national hospital in Lima. Materials and methods: Seventy-one women of childbearing age who attended the gynecology service of the Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo during February-March 2020 were surveyed. Results: The networks were mainly composed of alters with sociodemographic characteristics similar to those of the ego. The networks were of 8 alters on average and a strong connection between alters was found. Likewise, the egos' networks were found to be connected by a family member. It was found that 81.7% of the women resorted to only one source of information, being mostly the health center. Conclusions: The networks of women of childbearing age show repetitive patterns consisting of interrelationships with people who have similar sociodemographic characteristics. Likewise, the results show that both family networks and health centers can be determinants for women of childbearing age to adopt preventive behaviors regarding their gynecological health.
