Objective: To determine the perception the family has about the humane care in the Intensive Care Units of three Health Service Institutions in the city of Cucuta (Colombia). Materials and Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional descriptive study was performed with a sample of 220 family members that met the requirements of inclusion; for the recollection of the information, the instrument used was denominated Family perception about humanization in the intensive care units, designed and validated in Cucuta by students and teachers of VIII semester from the Nursing Program at the University Francisco de Paula Santander in 2016. To determine the liability the Cronbach’s Alpha was used, obtaining a value of 0.89. Results: The humane care perception by family members was moderate in 63% of the participants. The communication and information, emotional support and family participation were the highest rating categories, while coping and visits had the lowest ratings. Conclusions: The participants of the study perceive as moderate the humane care, since they relate this to the quality of the care provided, considering the evaluated categories in the research. On the other hand, the family members point out that they receive the necessary information and support to involve themselves in the care activities, allowing them for more interaction with the hospitalized familiar and the personnel.
Objetivo: Describir el nivel de adherencia terapéutica de los pacientes con prótesis valvular mecánica que reciben anticoagulación oral en una institución de IV nivel. Materiales y métodos: Estudio cuantitativo descriptivo y de corte transversal, realizado durante el segundo semestre de los años 2016 y 2017. La muestra estuvo representada por 89 pacientes con reemplazo valvular mecánico que fueron sometidos a cirugía cardiaca en una institución de IV nivel durante los años 2011 al 2016. Se utilizó el cuestionario como “Instrumento para evaluar los factores que infl uyen en la adherencia a tratamientos farmacológicos y no farmacológicos en pacientes con factores de riesgo de enfermedad cardiovascular versión 3”, elaborado por Bonilla y de Reales en el 2006. El cuestionario estuvo conformado por 53 ítems y 4 dimensiones: factores socioeconómicos, y los relacionados con el proveedor, la terapia y el paciente. El instrumento tiene un coefi ciente Alfa de Cronbach de 0.82. Resultados: El 90 % de los pacientes presentaron un nivel de adherencia bueno; los factores que intervinieron a favor son aquellos relacionados con el sistema y el equipo de salud; la dimensión vinculada a factores socioeconómicos infl uyó negativamente en la adherencia al tratamiento. Conclusión: Existe una buena adherencia terapéutica en los pacientes encuestados; de igual manera se deduce que es necesario promover acciones interdisciplinarias en los programas de seguimiento a pacientes anticoagulados, enfocadas en los factores que infl uyen en la adherencia terapéutica.
