ABSTRACT
Objetivo: Determinar la relación entre las habilidades de autorregulación, autoeficacia percibida, locus de control y la adhesión terapéutica en pacientes que se les ha colocado el balón intragástrico BioEnterics. Pacientes: Se incluyeron 75 obesos (56 mujeres y 19 hombres), entre los 18 y 65 años (M= 39,29; DT= 11,82), que asistieron a cinco centros de Caracas. Materiales y métodos: Se utilizaron los Inventarios de: autoeficacia percibida para el control del peso, auto-regulación y locus de control del peso corporal, y dos cuestionarios ad hoc, autoeficacia percibida para la adhesión al tratamiento farmacológico y de comportamientos de adhesión terapéutica. Inicialmente se contactó a los centros y se seleccionó la muestra. Posteriormente, se aplicaron los inventarios antes y al tercer mes posterior a la colocación del balón. Resultados: Las variables arrojaron niveles moderados. Quienes se sienten capaces de controlar su ingesta alimentaria y su actividad física y a la vez perciben que tienen las estrategias para lograrlo, son aquellos que reportan adhesión terapéutica. Conclusiones: A partir de estos resultados se sugiere entrenar habilidades de autorregulación y estimular las creencias de autoeficacia. Asimismo, se hace necesario estudiar la variable locus de control para aclarar su papel en la adhesión terapéutica.
Objective: Determine the relationship between the skills of self-regulation, self-efficacy, locus of control and adherence to therapy in patients who had been placed on bioEnterics intragastric balloon treatment. Patients: 75 obese (56 women and 19 men) between 18 and 65 years old (M = 39,29; SD = 11,82), who had been attended at five centers in Caracas city. Materials y methods: self-regulating body weight, perceived self-efficacy for weight control, Locus of control of weight and two ad hoc questionnaires, perceived self-efficacy for adherence to drug therapy and treatment adherence behavior respectively. The procedure was contacted the centers and the sample was selected. Subsequently, the inventories were applied before and three months after the balloon set. Results: Show that participants were characterized by moderate levels in the variables. On the other hand, those who feel able to control their food intake and physical activity at the same time perceive that they have the strategies to achieve it, are those who report adherence to therapy. The locus of perceived control seems to have no relationship. Conclusions: From the results it is suggested to train skills and boost self-efficacy beliefs. Also, it is necessary to study the locus of control variable to clarify its role in adherence to therapy in patients with BioEnterics intragastric balloon.

Objective To study the therapeutic effects of Bioenterics Intragastric Balloon (BIB) on obesity under gastroscopy.Methods Data of 47 patients treated with Bioenterics Intragastric Balloon under gastrscopy were reviewed from July,2010 to May,2011.Results Weight loss ( mean 15.4 kg ) was successfully achieved in all the patients during 6 months.BMI decreased by 3.2-6.4 kg/m2 ( mean 4.7 kg/m2 ).There was no serious side effect with a better result for obesity according to the follow-up.Conclusion BIB is effective for obesity for noninvasiveness,stable speed of weight loss and less pain.
