Summary: | In hospitals, the policy of encouraging patients discharge as soon as possible imposes the challenge of preparing the family to reorganize their lives at home so that they can take care of the sick person in few days. The aim of this research was to identify the knowledge of caregivers of bedridden patients about possible secondary complications, prevention and treatment, and to report major difficulties in caring for the patient suffering from chronic illness. Study participants were 29 caregivers of patients in a situation of special care dependency, at the Hospital da Providência in Apucarana, PR, Brazil. The interview comprised questions about the knowledge of caregivers about the patient's illness and its implications, risks of complications and actions and resources used in preventing them. Respondents were predominantly women, daughters or wives, married, elementary school educated, that did not perform activities outside the home and never took care of a sick person before. Analyzing the results, it was noticed that there was little knowledge about the disease and its possible secondary complications. The best known is the pressure sore, but little is known about the necessary preventive care. It can be concluded that the addition of a program to prepare family caregivers for hospital discharge should be considered by health institutions. |

O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar o conhecimento dos cuidadores de pacientes acamados acerca das possíveis complicações secundárias, sua prevenção e tratamento, além de relatar as principais dificuldades no cuidado do doente portador de doença crônica. Participaram do estudo 29 cuidadores de pacientes em situação de dependência de cuidados especiais, internados no Hospital da Providência de Apucarana, PR. A entrevista continha questões acerca dos conhecimentos dos cuidadores sobre a doença do paciente e suas implicações, riscos de complicações e medidas e recursos utilizados na prevenção destas. Os entrevistados eram predominantemente mulheres, filhas ou esposas, casadas, com escolaridade em nível de ensino fundamental, que não exerciam atividades fora do lar e que nunca tinham cuidado de alguém doente antes. Na análise dos resultados, observou-se pouco conhecimento sobre a doença em questão e suas possíveis complicações secundárias. As mais conhecidas são as escaras de decúbito, porém, pouco se sabe sobre os cuidados preventivos necessários. Pode-se concluir que a inserção de um programa de orientações de preparo para a alta hospitalar para cuidadores familiares deve ser escolha das instituições de saúde.Universidade Cesumar - UniCesumar2010-03-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por ParesEstudo Transversal; Pesquisa de Campo; Entrevista Estruturada.application/pdfimage/tiffimage/tiffimage/tiffhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/1315Saúde e Pesquisa; Vol 3 No 1 (2010): jan./abr.Saúde e Pesquisa; v. 3 n. 1 (2010): jan./abr.2176-9206reponame:Saúde e Pesquisa (Online)instname:Cesumar Diretoria de Pesquisainstacron:CESUMARporhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/1315/1042https://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/1315/3718https://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/1315/3719https://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/1315/3720Tsukamoto, Heloísa FreiriaAlmeida, Angela Fabiano deBortolloti, Lígia FrancieleRibeiro, Eliane AparecidaMaiola, Fernanda Rodrigues EgydioSalvador, Guilherme AndradeSilva, Priscila Longo Silvestre dainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-05-23T16:37:04Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/1315Revistahttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesqPUBhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/oainaep@cesumar.br2176-92061983-1870opendoar:2022-05-23T16:37:04Saúde e Pesquisa (Online) - Cesumar Diretoria de Pesquisafalse |
