RESUMEN
Introducción: Los pacientes con alteraciones neurológicas severas dependen del cuidado de terceros, muchas veces son las familias quienes asumen este rol, pero se desconoce cuánto logran integrar del manejo postural continuo. Objetivo: Determinar la percepción del nivel cognoscitivo de los cuidadores, en relación al manejo postural continuo, de pacientes en silla de ruedas, que asisten al Instituto Teletón Concepción, durante el año 2011. Pacientes y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio cualitativo fenomenológico con muestra de casos tipos en 8 cuidadores, que permitió profundizar en las experiencias individuales de estos, a través de entrevistas semi-estructuradas. Se realizó análisis semántico estructural sobre el discurso de los cuidadores. Resultados: Se estableció los códigos principales bajo los cuales los cuidadores comprenden el manejo postural continuo, el cual se entendió por el concepto de alineación corporal, la condición muscular del paciente y las expectativas de rehabilitación. Hay un mayor reconocimiento de los padres a la información entregada por sus pares, dándole mayor valor emocional. Las experiencias particulares de cada cuidador pueden ser una fuente positiva de refuerzo del programa de manejo postural continuo. Conclusiones: Los cuidadores refieren poseer amplios conocimientos del manejo postural continuo, pero no son capaces de detallar los aspectos básicos del mismo, evidenciando una falta de integración del conocimiento en esta área.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Patients with severe neurological disorders depend on a third party for their care. Usually it is within their own families, that someone takes over that role, however, it is unknown to what extent they are able to integrate “continuous postural management”. Objective: To determine caregivers’ cognitive perception level with regards to “continuous postural management”, of patients who use wheelchairs and who attended Teletón Institute at Concepción, Chile, during the year 2011. Patients and Method: A phenomenological qualitative research using type cases samples in 8 caregivers was carried out. This made possible to go in depth with their individual experiences by conducting semi-structured interviews. A structural semantic analysis about the caregivers’ speech was done. Outcomes: Main codes under which caregivers understand “continuous postural management” were established. This was understood as the concept of body or corporal alignment, patients’ muscular condition and rehabilitation expectancies. There is greater acknowledgment from parents regarding information provided by their peers, which adds greater emotional value. Therefore, each caregiver’s individual experience may become a constructive strengthening source for the “continuous postural management” program. Conclusions: Caregivers reported having broad knowledge regarding “continuous posture management”, however they were unable to provide details about its basic characteristics, thus showing lack of knowledge integration in this area.
