Abstract [en]

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.

Introducción: La falta de adherencia a los tratamientos aumenta la probabilidad de fracaso terapéutico y complicaciones innecesarias. Objetivo: Explorar las fuentes de apoyo percibidas por los pacientes con enfermedades crónicas que les facilitan la adherencia a los tratamientos. Método: Estudio cualitativo descriptivo con enfoque fenomenológico, en el que se reclutaron ocho pacientes crónicos complejos, sin distinción de género, ni edad, residentes en Barcelona, y que tras evaluar la adherencia farmacológica con los test de Morisky-Green y el test de Batalla diera como resultado ser adherente al régimen terapéutico. Tras lo cual se efectuaron dos preguntas abiertas que fueron grabadas en un dispositivo de audio y transcritas textualmente. Para el análisis de los datos, se utilizó el método Colaizzi. Resultados: Surgieron tres grupos temáticos: 1) Tener el apoyo familiar; 2) Comprensión de la enfermedad y estrategias que facilitan la adhesión a los tratamientos; y 3) Relación con los profesionales de referencia. Conclusiones: La fuente más importante de apoyo percibida por los participantes, es la familia, coincidiendo con otros autores. El hallazgo de este estudio, es que se evidencia a medicina y enfermería como instigadores que fomentan su empoderamiento y como fuente de influencia reconocida que ha permitido su asimilación y capacitación para adoptar medidas que les ayudan a seguir las pautas farmacoterapéuticas.
