Perception of sources of support that facilitate adherence to the treatments
Abstract
Introduction: Non-adherence to treatments increases the probability of therapeutic failure and unnecessary complications.
Objective: To explore the sources of support perceived by patients with chronic diseases that facilitate adherence to treatment.
Method: Qualitative descriptive study with a phenomenological approach, in which eight complex chronic patients were recruited, without distinction of gender or age, residents of Barcelona, and who, after evaluating pharmacological adherence with the Morisky-Green test and the test of Batalla resulted in being adherent to the therapeutic regimen. After which, two open questions were asked that were recorded on an audio device and transcribed verbatim. For data analysis, the method Colaizzi was used.
Results: Three thematic groups emerged: 1) Having family support; 2) Understanding of the disease and strategies that facilitate adherence to treatments; and 3) Relationship with reference professionals.
Conclusions: The most important source of support perceived by the participants is the family, coinciding with other authors. The finding of this study is that shows medicine and nursing are evidenced as instigators that promote their empowerment and as a recognized source of influence that has allowed their assimilation and training to adopt measures that help them follow the pharmacotherapeutic guidelines.
