ABSTRACT

Objetivos: describir el perfil sociodemográfico de las cuidadoras familiares,las características del cuidado, su nivel de autoestima e identificar el apoyo familiar y social percibido. Método: estudio observacional descriptivo. Población: personas cuidadoras principales (PCP) de sus allegados dependientes atendidos en domicilio. Muestra: 76 cuidadores familiares del ámbito de la AP. Fuentes de información: escala de autoestima de Rosenberg (RSE), Apgar familiary cuestionario de elaboración propia. Resultados: perfil de la persona cuidadora: mujer, ama de casa, entre 45 y 65 años, que cuida al padre o madre, casada, con estudios primarios y convive con la persona cuidada. Suelen ser cuidadoras permanentes y únicas, aunque un 27,6% rotan en el cuidado y 1/3 reciben ayuda de otros familiares. Dedican 132 h/semanales de promedio al cuidado, la duración es alta (media 9 años). Valor medio de autoestima (RSE) fuede 34,36 (autoestima elevada considerada valor normal). El 78,4% tiene puntuaciones de autoestima elevada. La mayoría se considera satisfecha con la ayuda recibida por la familia, el valor medio es 8,4; la proporción de sujetos con carencias en la función familiar es el 16%. Los apoyos sociales son escasos: un 10% se siente apoyado por vecinos, asociaciones o amigos. El 24% percibe falta de apoyo social. Conclusiones: el cuidado del familiar dependiente continúa siendo asumido fundamentalmente por las mujeres con papel de amas de casa que,a pesar de la intensidad y dedicación al cuidado y de no percibir el suficiente apoyo social, tienen buena autoestima. No se aprecia un reemplazo generacional, ni reparto equitativo de la carga de cuidado según el género, es necesario investigar la causa (AU)


Objectives: to describe the sociodemographic profile of family members who take on the role of caregiver, the characteristics of this care, and theirself-esteem level, and to identify perceived family and social support. Method: descriptive observational study. Population: primary caregivers of dependant family members who receive care at home. Sample: 76 family caregivers of the PC setting. Information sources: Rosenberg selfesteem scale (RSE), family APGAR and self-elaborated questionnaire. Results: caregiver profile: woman, housewife, between the ages of 45and 65 years, who looks after her mother or father, is married, has aprimary education level, and lives with the person who receives her care.They are usually the permanent and only caregivers in the household, eventhough 27,6% do care rotation, and 1/3 receive help from other family members. They dedicate an average of 132h/week to care, and the duration of this care is high (mean 9 years). The mean self-esteem value(RSE) was 34,36 (elevated self-esteem considered a normal value). 78,4%has elevated self-esteem scores. Most feel satisfied with the help receivedfrom the family, with a mean value of 8,4; the proportion of subjects with lacks in family function is 16%. Social support is scarce: 10% feels supported by neighbours, associations or friends. 24% perceives a lack of social support.Conclusions: care of the dependant family member continues to be take non primarily by women who are housewives and who, in spite of the intensity of the care, the dedication it requires and limited perceived social support, have good self-esteem. A generational replacement or equal distribution of the care load by gender is not observed, leading to the need to investigate the cause of this reality (AU)

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Our purpose was to establish, by means of a survival analysis, the duration of therapeutic compliance and the probability of abandonment or prescription drugs in cardiovascular patients, as well as the prognostic factors that determine it. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Longitudinal observational study (1996-1998). By means of a consecutive sampling, 493 patients who initiated a cardiovascular treatment were selected. Through interviews, we obtained information on cardiovascular problems and treatment, concomitant diseases, consumption of other drugs and social and demographic variables. The consumption of prescribed drugs was established across 6 periodic observations. RESULTS: During the observational period, 39.4% of drugs prescribed by the general practitioner (GP) were abandoned, as compared to 22.4% of those prescribed by specialists (p < 0.05). The degree of abandonment was significantly higher among consumers of vasodilators and vasoprotective agents. Cardiac glycosydes and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors were among the therapeutic subgroups in which a longer survival time was observed (average: 19.8 and 16.5 months, respectively). By a Cox regression analysis, we noticed that the risk of abandonment was higher in patients who took two or more doses of the drug per day (OR = 2.8; 95% IC, 21-37), in consumers of medicines with a daily cost lower than ptas. 100 (OR = 1.4); 95% CI, 1.0-1.8) and in subjects younger than 65 years (OR = 1.3; 95% CI, 1.0-1.8). CONCLUSIONS: A higher degree of abandonment of cardiovascular medication occurs when it is administered in primary health-care (i.e., drugs prescribed by the GP), mainly in relation to a greater prescription of agents with a low therapeutic effectiveness. Abandonment is influenced by patients' social and demographic factors and also by the specific characteristics of the treatment.

ABSTRACT

FUNDAMENTO: Establecer, mediante análisis de supervivencia, la duración del cumplimiento terapéutico y la probabilidad de abandono de la medicación en pacientes con enfermedades cardiovasculares, así como los factores pronósticos que los determinan. PACIENTES Y MÉTODO: Estudio observacional longitudinal (1996-1998). Mediante muestreo consecutivo, se seleccionó a 493 pacientes que iniciaron tratamiento cardiovascular. A través de entrevista se obtuvo información sobre problemas cardiovasculares y tratamiento, enfermedades concomitantes, consumo de otros fármacos y variables sociodemográficas. A lo largo de 6 observaciones periódicas se constató el consumo o abandono de la medicación prescrita. RESULTADOS: Durante el período observado se abandonó la toma del 39,4 por ciento de los fármacos prescritos por el médico general, frente al 22,4 por ciento de los originados en el medio especializado (p < 0,05). Dichos abandonos fueron significativamente superiores entre los consumidores de vasodilatadores periféricos y vasoprotectores. Los glucósidos cardíacos e inhibidores de la enzima conversiva de la angiotensina fueron los subgrupos terapéuticos en los que se observó un mayor tiempo de continuidad de toma de medicamentos (medianas de 19,8 y 16,5 meses, respectivamente). Mediante regresión de Cox, se comprobó que el riesgo de abandono fue superior en los que tomaban dos o más dosis de fármaco al día (odds ratio [OR] = 2,8), en consumidores de medicamentos con un coste diario inferior a 100 ptas. (OR = 1,4); (IC del 95 por ciento, 1,51,9) y en sujetos de edad inferior a 65 años (OR = 1,3) (IC del 95 por ciento 1,0-1,8). CONCLUSIONES: Se produce un mayor abandono de los tratamientos cardiovasculares originados en atención primaria, en relación con una mayor prescripción en dicho nivel de fármacos de utilidad terapéutica baja. En el abandono de la medicación intervienen tanto las variables sociodemográficas de los pacientes como las características del tratamiento (AU)
