Abstract(s)
A dor crónica é uma problemática que afecta milhares de pessoas em todo o mundo, sem distinguir género, idade ou estrato social.
Este trabalho tem como objectivo, perceber a utilização e o impacto das medidas não farmacológicas no tratamento da dor crónica, por parte dos utentes controlados com medicamentos em ambulatório.
Realizou-se um estudo do tipo descritivo, baseado numa abordagem quantitativa e transversal sobre o tema: “A dor crónica, para além de uma abordagem farmacológica”. Para a concretização e realização deste trabalho de investigação foi feita uma pesquisa bibliográfica relacionada com a temática, evidenciando as diversas abordagens não farmacológicas na dor assim como a sua importância no controlo e auto-controlo da mesma. Foi ainda aplicado um questionário a utentes com dor crónica, que utilizam medicamentos para o controlo da sua dor, realizado em três farmácias comunitárias na cidade do Porto.
A maioria dos inquiridos referiu já utilizar medidas não farmacológicas no tratamento da sua dor, ainda que não como terapêutica de primeira linha. Os utentes reconhecem as mais-valias das técnicas para alívio e controlo da dor, no entanto, referem o elevado custo e fraca acessibilidade como motivos impeditivos à utilização das mesmas. O enfermeiro é visto como um profissional que faz parte do processo, embora com uma intervenção ainda pouco visível.
O presente estudo contribuiu para um crescimento humano e para a aquisição de conhecimentos em Enfermagem, sobretudo num contexto da dor, assim como para aumentar a capacidade de reflexão crítica.
Chronic pain is a problem that affects thousands of people around the world, without distinguishing gender, age or social background. This paper aims, to understand the use and impact of non-pharmacological treatment for chronic pain, by patients controlled with drugs as outpatients. For the realization of this investigation, there was the desire to take up a descriptive study, based on a quantitative approach and cross on the theme: "Chronic pain, more than a pharmacological approach." For the implementation and realization of this research, it was conducted a literature search related to the theme, highlighting the various non- pharmacological approaches in pain as well as its importance in self-control and enforcement. It was also applied a questionnaire to patients with chronic pain who use drugs to control their pain, conducted in three community pharmacies in the city of Porto. Most respondents agreed that already use non-pharmacological measures to treat their pain, though not as first-line therapy. Users recognize the gains of the techniques for relief and pain control, however, mention the high cost and poor accessibility as reasons hindering the use thereof. The nurse is seen as a professional who is part of the process, although with a little visible intervention This study contributed to human growth and the acquisition of knowledge in nursing, especially in a context of pain, as well as to increase the capacity for critical reflection.
