Satisfacción y utilidad del tratamiento rehabilitador a través de material educativo en pacientes con COVID-19 / Satisfaction and utility of rehabilitative treatment through educational material in patients with COVID-19

Objetivo: En Madrid, durante la pandemia por COVID-19, debido a la saturación hospitalaria se precisó la medicalización de hoteles para traslado de pacientes infectados por SARS-CoV-2 con evolución favorable. Su situación clínica tipo era de fatiga y desacondicionamiento físico, precisando y beneficiándose de un abordaje rehabilitador. El Servicio de Rehabilitación desarrolló material educativo en formato de papel sobre ejercicio terapéutico adaptado a las diferentes situaciones funcionales detectadas. El objetivo es describir el perfil de pacientes ingresados en un hotel medicalizado y analizar el grado de satisfacción y adherencia al ejercicio pautado durante el ingreso y en domicilio y los factores relacionados. Material y método: Estudio descriptivo de pacientes ingresados en el Hotel Colón durante dos meses de 2020, con análisis de variables socio demográficas, y de cuestionarios con respecto al grado de adherencia y satisfacción del tratamiento rehabilitador durante ingreso y al alta. Resultado: Participaron 100 pacientes con una edad media de 52 años±14.5, donde el 61% (n=61) fueron mujeres. El 99% (n=99) refirió comprender los ejercicios, los realizaron durante el ingreso el 90% (n=90), mientras un 58% (n=58) los continuó al alta. El 92% (n=92) se mostró «muy satisfecho» con el material educativo, considerándolo fácil de realizar en el 100% (n=100) de los casos. Conclusión: Los pacientes se mostraron satisfechos con el material educativo, fueron ejercicios comprensibles y tuvieron adherencia durante el ingreso y en domicilio. El material educativo en formato papel podría considerarse una herramienta útil para el manejo de pacientes con infección por SARS-CoV-2.(AU)

Objective: In Madrid, during the pandemic, due to hospital saturation, medicalisation of hotels was required for the transfer of patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 with favourable evolution. Their typical clinical situation was one of fatigue and physical deconditioning, requiring and benefiting from a rehabilitative approach. The Rehabilitation Department developed educational material in paper format on therapeutic exercise adapted to the different functional situations detected. To describe the profile of patients admitted to a medicalised hotel and to analyse the degree of satisfaction, utility and adherence to the exercise prescribed during hospitalisation and at home and the related factors. Material and method: We conducted a descriptive study of patients admitted to the Hotel Colon during April and May 2020. We analysed the socio-demographic and clinical variables, as well as the responses to the adherence and satisfaction questionnaires about rehabilitation management during admission and at discharge. Results: 100 patients participated in the study with a mean age of 52±14.5 years, where 61% (n=61) were women. 99% (n=99) reported they understood the material with a 90% (n=90) adherence to exercise during admission and 58% (n=58) at discharge. 92% (n=92) were “very satisfied” with the educational material and considered it easy to perform in 100% (n=100) of cases. Conclusion: The use of paper-based educational material of therapeutic exercise appears to be an effective resource in the management of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection during admission, thus minimising the exposure of healthcare staff.(AU)
