Abstract(s)
A Diabetes é uma doença crónica metabólica caracterizada por elevados níveis de glicose no sangue que ocorre quando o corpo se torna resistente à insulina ou não a produz suficiente.
Relativamente à adesão ao regime medicamentoso, é uma das áreas de prioritárias em saúde em que os enfermeiros devem focar-se na promoção e prevenção da saúde fundamentando as suas intervenções baseadas em evidencia científica.
Neste sentido, os objetivos delineados foram: identificar se a pessoa portadora de diabetes mellitus se esquece de tomar os comprimidos / aplicar a insulina para a diabetes; identificar se a pessoa portadora de diabetes mellitus é descuidada com as horas de tomar os comprimidos / aplicar a insulina para a diabetes; identificar se a pessoa portadora de diabetes mellitus deixa de tomar os comprimidos / aplicar a insulina para a diabetes, por sua iniciativa, por se ter sentido melhor; identificar se a pessoa portadora de diabetes mellitus deixa de tomar os comprimidos / aplicar a insulina para a diabetes, por sua iniciativa, por se ter sentido pior; identicar se a pessoa portadora de diabetes mellitus toma os comprimidos / aplica a insulina para a diabetes em dose superior à prescrita, por sua iniciativa, por se ter sentido pior; identificar se a pessoa portadora de diabetes mellitus interrompe a toma dos comprimidos / aplica a insulina para a diabetes por ter deixado acabar os medicamentos e identificar se a pessoa portadora de diabetes mellitus deixou de tomar os comprimidos / aplicar a insulina para a diabetes por alguma razão que não a indicação do médico.
Tratou- se de um estudo descritivo, quantitativo e transversal que pretende verificar se existe adesão ao regime medicamentoso. A população foi composta por todas as pessoas adultas e idosas, com diabetes mellitus, do grande Porto, não institucionalizados. A técnica de amostragem utilizada foi Bola de Neve, na qual os indivíduos para incluírem a nossa amostra convidam novos participantes da sua rede de amigos e conhecidos. A amostra vai crescendo a medida que os indivíduos selecionados convidam novos participantes. Foram critérios de inclusão ter DM diagnosticada, residir no grande Porto, participar voluntariamente do estudo e ter capacidade cognitiva preservada para responder ao questionário. Para avaliar o nível de adesão ao regime medicamentoso dos indivíduos, aplicou-se o instrumento Medida de Adesão aos Tratamentos (MAT), desenvolvido e validado para a população portuguesa por Delgado e Lima em 2001.
Os resultados obtidos neste estudo demonstraram que os adultos e os idosos aderem ao regime medicamentoso.
Diabetes is a metabolic chronic disease characterized for high levels of glucose in the blood system; this occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or when it doesn’t produce enough. When speaking about the adherence to the drug regimen, this is one of the priority health areas that nurses should be focused on promoting and preventing, doing their interventions based on scientific evidences. Therefore, the objectives outlined are to understand if: the person with diabetes mellitus forgets to take the pills/insulin for diabetes, if the person with diabetes is careless with the timing of taking the pills/insulin for diabetes, if the person with diabetes stops taking the drugs or insulin for diabetes in order to feel better, if the person with diabetes stops taking the drugs or insulin for diabetes in order to feel worse, if the person with diabetes takes (by own initiative) the pills or insulin in higher doses, if the person with diabetes stops taking the pills or insulin because they let it end, if the person with diabetes stopped taking pills or insulin for diabetes for some reason other than the doctor's reccommendation. This was a descriptive, quantitative and cross - sectional study that meant to verify if there was an adherence to the drug regimen by the interviewed. The population was composed by adults and elderly people with diabetes mellitus (not institutionalized), from the Porto district. The sampling technique used was the Snowball, in which individuals included in our sample invited new participants from their network of friends and surroundings; as so, the sample grew. The inclused criteria are diagnosed with DM, lives in Porto district, and also voluntarily participated in the study; all confirmed to have a preserved cognitive capacity to respond to the questionnaire. In order to evaluate the level of adherence to the drug regimen in individuals, the instrument “Medida de Adesão aos Tratamentos (MAT)” - developed and validated for the Portuguese population by Delgado and Lima in 2001 - was applied. The results obtained in this study demonstrated that adults and the elderly are adhere to the drug regimen.
