RODRIGUEZ RAMOS, Jorge Félix e HERRERA MIRANDA, Guillermo Luís. Educational strategy on chronic kidney disease at the Turcios Lima Polyclinic in Pinar del Río. Medisur [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.5, pp. 854-863. Epub 30-Out-2022. ISSN 1727-897X.
Background
Chronic kidney disease is increasingly recognized as a public health problem, due to the great economic and social impact it generates in the population. Knowledge of aspects related to self-care and risk factors by patients can contribute to a better quality of life for them.
Objective
to present the results of an educational intervention strategy on chronic kidney disease.
Methods
a descriptive study was carried out, before and after, in patients with chronic kidney disease from 16 urban clinics (N=60) belonging to the Luis A. Turcios Lima Polyclinic, during 2019. Surveys were applied to patients before and after the intervention, which was aimed at raising the knowledge level about aspects of interest related to the disease. McNemarˈs test at 95% certainty was used to compare the results.
Results
before the intervention about 70% of the patients did not properly identify the disease; after it, more than 93% of the patients reported having acquired this knowledge. The same happened with risk factors, clinical manifestations, complications, diagnosis, prevention and treatment, with a statistically significant difference in all cases.
Conclusion
providing education to patients about chronic kidney disease and its treatment options increases their level of knowledge, their ability to understand reason and take actions favorable to their health status.
