The factors determining utilization of health care resources in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are poorly understood. In order to obtain insight into these factors, we studied the utilization of health care resources in 57 stable COPD patients with a forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) of 36±9% predicted.Patients were divided into two groups: admitted at least twice in the last year (high medical consumption; n=23) or not admitted in the last year (low medical consumption; n=34). Other variables related to utilization of health care resources studied were: the number of hospital days; the number of out-patient visits to a pulmonary department in the last year; and the average daily dose (ADD) of corticosteroids taken in the last 6 months. The actual cost of utilization of health care resources, however, was not studied. In addition, pulmonary function, serum electrolytes, blood gas values, 6 min walking distance, respiratory and peripheral muscle force, and appraisal of self-care agency (ASA score) were studied.Pulmonary function, serum electrolytes, blood gas values, ASA score and walking distance were not different between the two groups (e.g. FEV1 36±8 vs 36±10% pred). Respiratory muscle forces tended to be lower in the high medical consumption group, this tendency almost reaching statistical significance for maximal expiratory pressure (PE,max) (p=0.08). Peripheral muscle force, however, was clearly reduced in the high medical consumption group (quadriceps force 63±20 vs 82±26% pred; p<0.05). The number of admissions, the number of hospital days, the number of out-patient visits, and ADD were interrelated and also related to ventilatory and peripheral muscle force (r -0.18 to -0.38). This relationship was statistically significant for PE,max, whilst a similar tendency was present for maximal inspiratory pressure (PI,max). In stepwise multiple regression analysis, only quadriceps force was a significant determinant of utilization of health care services.We conclude that utilization of health care services in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is related to ventilatory and peripheral muscle force. Whether or not reduced muscle force is simply an expression of disease severity remains to be determined.

“…-The Appraisal of Self-care Agency Scale (ASA) proposed by Isemberg in 1983, (7) translated to Spanish as "Escala de Valoración de Agencia de Autocuidado (ASA)", which is a 24 item instrument, Likert type scale, modified for Colombia by Edilma de Reales with the author's authorization and validated by Manrique and Velandia for the population of Bogota (8) . Scoring is as follows: 1 corresponds to never, 2 to almost never, 3 to almost always, and 4 to always.…”

Objective: To measure the self-care capability and its relation with the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics in a group of patients from the peritoneal dialysis program according to their self-care capability. Methodology:A prospective-descriptive cross-sectional study was performed. Three data collection instruments were applied: A socio-demographic and clinical characteristics form, the Morisky-Green test and the Appraisal of Self-care Agency Scale (ASA) were used with 87 patients, male and female alike. They were all over 18 years old and they were going through a peritoneal dialysis treatment having been over a month in the program. A descriptive analysis was done which included absolute and relative frequencies, central tendency and dispersion measures for the Morisky-Green test and for the socio-demographic and clinical tendencies. A multiple correspondence analysis was also done, using as the illustrative variable the self-care capability and as the control differences the sociodemographic and clinical variables.Results: 60% of subjects reported sufficient self-care capability and the remaining 40% reported an insufficient self-care capability. In addition, the self-care activities that the subjects perform the most were defined.

“…Esse teste foi desenvolvido e adaptado do Teste de Morisky e validado para a língua portuguesa em 2001, apresentando boa consistência interna, com coeficiente de Cronbach de 0,74 (13) . Para a avaliação da capacidade de autocuidado exercida por pacientes com HAS, foi aplicado o instrumento a ASA-A (14) , que teve como marco conceitual a teoria de enfermagem do déficit do autocuidado de OREM (10) e o conceito de competência para o autocuidado. Conceitualmente, mede o poder para o desempenho de operações produtivas de autocuidado, sendo traduzida, validada e adaptada para a cultura brasileira em 2002 (15) .…”

AbstractIntroduction: Systemic Arterial Hypertension is one of the most important public health problems in Brazil and worldwide. Non-compliance with drug treatment may be an obstacle to achieving effective results for the treatment. Objective: Analyze the compliance with hypertensive patients to drug treatment, identify the capacity for self-care and verify the correlation between the compliance with drug treatment and the capacity for self-care. Patients and Methods: Cross-sectional and population study performed in patients with arterial hypertension diagnosis, registered in the assistance program to hypertensive patient Family Health Strategy of Monte Verde Paulista, São Paulo State. Data collection occurred through the following instruments: Measure of Compliance with Treatment and Instrument for Assessing the Capacity to Self-Care both validated in the literature. Results: Of the patients participating in the study, 85.2% were classified in category compliance; the average capacity for self-care of patients in this study was 88.3. Statistical significance was found in comparison between the values of blood pressure, measured at the time of the interview, and scores of the Self-Care Capacity Assessment. There was no correlation with statistical significance between the variables measured by instruments. Conclusion: Actions that promote compliance with the hypertension treatment should be strengthened at all levels of health care.
