ABSTRACT

El envejecimiento demográfico acelerado de la población de Chile supone un aumento en la prevalencia no solo de enfermedades crónicas, sino también de personas con discapacidad, y necesidad de ser cuidadas en forma permanente. En este sentido, tomando como grupo de estudio a los cuidadores de los adultos mayores institucionalizados de la comuna de Quilaco, Región del Biobío, analizamos las creencias en salud oral que los cuidadores poseen al momento de llevar a cabo la atención de los adultos mayores que se encuentran a su cargo.


The rapid aging of the population of Chile will produce an increase not only in the prevalence of chronic diseases, but also of people with disabilities, and their need to be cared for permanently. In this sense, taking the caregivers of the institutionalized elderly population of the Quilaco commune, Biobío Region, as a study group, we analyzed the oral health beliefs that caregivers have at the time of undertaking the care of older adults.
