Knowledge: disease process in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

OBJECTIVES: To identify the relationship between socioeconomic variables and nursing outcome indicators Knowledge: disease process. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study involving 51 patients undergoing hemodialysis at a public nephrology hospital in a city in northeastern Brazil. A questionnaire covering sociodemographic information and the 15 nursing outcome indicators Knowledge: disease process. RESULTS: A statistically significant but weak correlation was found between age and the indicators Specific process of the disease (r=-0.28), Cause and contributing factors (r=-0.36), Signs and symptoms of the disease (r=0.30), Signs and symptoms of complications of the disease (r=-0.37), Precautions to prevent complications of the disease (r=-0.35); number of years of schooling and the indicators Specific process of the disease (r=0.29), Cause and contributing factors (r=0.28), and Signs and symptoms of the disease (r=0.34). There were significant and moderate correlations of age with the indicator Psychosocial effect of the disease in the individual (r=-0.41), in the family (r=-0.44) and benefits of disease control (r=-0.48). Sex was related only to the indicator Specific process of the disease (p=0.03). CONCLUSIONS: There was no relationship between some indicators of the outcome Knowledge: disease process with the sociodemographic variables in patients undergoing hemodialysis, a fact that underscores the importance of implementing nursing interventions that take into account the particularities of the individuals.

Objetivo. Identificar la relación de las variables socioeconómicas con los indicadores del resultado de enfermería Conocimiento: proceso de la enfermedad. Métodos. Estudio de corte transversal en el que participaron 51 pacientes sometidos a hemodiálisis en un hospital público de referencia en nefrología en una ciudad del nordeste de Brasil. Se utilizó un formulario que contenía preguntas sobre información sociodemográfica y de los 15 indicadores del resultado de enfermería de Conocimiento: proceso de la enfermedad. Resultados. Se encontró correlación significativa pero baja entre la edad y los indicadores de proceso específico de la enfermedad (r=-0.28), causa y factores colaboradores (r=-0.36), señales y síntomas de la enfermedad (r=-0.30), signos y síntomas de complicaciones de la enfermedad (r=-0.37), precauciones para prevenir complicaciones de la enfermedad (r=-0.35); años de estudio y los indicadores proceso específico de la enfermedad (r=0.29), causa y factores colaboradores (r=0.28), y señales y síntomas de la enfermedad (r=0.34). Se observaron correlaciones significativas y moderadas de la variable edad con el indicador efecto psicosocial de la enfermedad sobre el individuo (r=-0.41), con la enfermedad en la familia (r=-0.44) y con los beneficios del control de la enfermedad (r=-0.48). El sexo solamente se relacionó con el indicador de proceso específico de la enfermedad (p=0.03). Conclusión. Hay relación entre algunos indicadores del resultado Conocimiento: proceso de la enfermedad con las variables sociodemográficas en los pacientes sometidos a hemodiálisis, hecho que resalta la importancia de la implementación de intervenciones de enfermería que tengan en cuenta las particularidades del individuo.
