ABSTRACT

Aunque se asume que la educación sanitaria mejora los estilos de vida de los pacientes hipertensos, no existe suficiente bibliografía que apoye esta asociación. Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto de la educación sanitaria ofrecida a los pacientes hipertensos sobre sus prácticas de ingesta de sal y ejercicio físico. Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo, transversal y basado en encuestas aplicadas a 179 pacientes hipertensos que acudieron entre junio y julio de 2009 a los servicios de medicina general, medicina interna y cardiología independientemente del motivo de atención. Se analizó con el programa SPSS versión 17.0 y aplicando el test de chi cuadrado. Resultados: El 67% fue del sexo femenino, 60,9% era mayor de 60 años y el 72,1% tenía educación secundaria o superior. El 25% había recibido charlas y 22% material educativo en salud en los últimos 6 meses. No se encontró asociación significativa entre haber recibido educación sanitaria con la práctica de actividad física regular ni de menor ingesta de sal. Conclusiones: En este estudio, la educación sanitaria no tuvo influencia sobre la práctica de ejercicio físico ni sobre la ingesta de sal.


Although it is assumed that health care education improves life style in hypertensive patients, there is no enough evidence to support its implementation. Objective: Evaluate the effect of health care education on salt ingestion and physical exercise in hypertensive patients. Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional study based on surveys applied to 179 hypertensive patients who attended the internal medicine and cardiology outpatient clinics from June to July 2009. Chi square test was performed using the SPSS statistical package version 17.0. Results: 67% were females; 69% were older than 60 years of age; 72.1% had secondary school level or superior education level. Health care education was received by 25% of the participants, 22% had received printed material in the last 6 months. Having received health care education was not associated with less salt ingestion or with more physical exercise. Conclusions: Health care education did not influence salt ingestion and physical exercise in this study.

ABSTRACT

En la atención primaria lidiamos con variados problemas de salud con diverso impacto en el individuo y su familia. Asimismo, circunstancias previsibles en la vida del individuo y su familia requieren atenuar el impacto de un evento crítico para su desarrollo. Existen 5 cinco niveles de intervención familiar basados en el grado de involucramiento familiar bajo la premisa de que ello posibilitaría una mejor comprensión del problema del individuo y por tanto, mayores posibilidades de resolverlo. Es importante, además, diferenciar cuando un problema familiar requiere derivación a otro nivel de intervención. En nuestro país requerimos adecuar los servicios, formar profesionales con habilidades específicas para trabajar con familias y reforzar las normas que posibiliten el avance en este campo.


We face different health problems in primary care, and they have variable impact in both individuals and their families. Also, some foreseeable circumstances in the lives of the individual and of his/her family are required in order to mitigate the impact of a critical event on family development. There are five levels for family interventions, which are based upon the degree of familial involvement, assuming this would lead to better understanding the individual's problems, and this may also lead to a greater likelihood for solving them. It is also important to know when a family problem may require referral to a next level for intervention. In our country, we need to have adequate services, we have to train professionals with specific abilities in working with families and we also have to reinforce regulations that may facilitate advances in this field.
