Apoyo social y adherencia al tratamiento en pacientes del programa de nefroproteccion de la clínica Asocabildos I.P.S.I. de la ciudad de Maicao

Abstract

The following work aims to interpret the influence of social support on treatment adherence in patients of the Nephroprotection program of the Asocabildos IPSI Clinic in the municipality of Maicao, due to Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases (CNCD) (diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, among others) as a global pandemic, since, according to their report, the first cause of death is cardiovascular disease, followed by cancer and thirdly by diabetes (World Health Organization - Non communicable Diseases –NCD- Country profiles, 2014). In addition to the efforts made by health entities, adherence for some patients remains difficult to manage and to comply with. In the same way, the qualitative methodology was used since reality was assumed as the construction of social interaction, using the phenomenological method strategy and where it was found that social support is strongly linked to adherence to treatment since according to the participants They stated that they felt good thanks to the treatments, but also thanks to the support network they have (family, friends, neighbors, health entities, among others.). It should be noted that using the phenomenological method strategy and using the semi structured and in-depth interview resulted in the obtaining of 30 codes which made it possible to delve much deeper into the aspects related to social support and treatment adherence of each patient.
