Nivel de incertidumbre en adultos con enfermedades reumáticas en un hospital de Chiclayo, 2018 / Level of uncertainty in adults with rheumatic diseases in a Chiclayo hospital, 2018

RESUMEN

Objetivo. Determinar el nivel de incertidumbre según marco de estímulos, capacidad cognitiva y proveedores o fuentes de la estructura, en los adultos con enfermedades reumáticas que se atienden en un hospital de Chiclayo, 2018. Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo transversal, tuvo como población 117 adultos con enfermedades reumáticas, la muestra fue censal con muestreo no probabilístico. Se utilizó como instrumento la Escala de Incertidumbre de Mishel que cuenta con confiabilidad de alfa de Cronbach de 0,81. Resultados: La mayoría de adultos con enfermedades reumáticas (79,49%) presentaron un nivel de incertidumbre regular. La media del nivel de incertidumbre fue de 79,68 ± 9,39. Conclusión: Los adultos presentaron un nivel de incertidumbre regular en relación al patrón de síntomas, familiaridad y congruencia del evento, consideraron que el tratamiento y cuidado son difíciles de cumplir, sin embargo, la información que les brindan es compleja y no pueden distinguir cuál es la más importante.

ABSTRACT

Objetive. To determine the level of uncertainty according to the framework of stimuli, cognitive capacity and providers or sources of the structure, in adults with rheumatic diseases that are treated in an Chiclayo hospital, 2018. Material and methods: this study was descriptive, cross-sectional, had as a population 117 adults with diseases rheumatic, the sample was census and the sampling was not probabilistic. The Mishel Uncertainty Scale with reliability of Cronbach's alpha of 0.81 was used as an instrument. Results: the majority of adults with rheumatic diseases (79.49%) presented a level of regular uncertainty. The mean uncertainty level was 79.68 ± 9.39. The minimum score obtained was 59 and the maximum score was 111. Conclusion: Adults with rheumatic diseases presented a level of regular uncertainty, evidencing within the framework dimension of stimuli specifically, pattern of symptoms, familiarity of the event and congruence of the event. Likewise, in the cognitive capacity dimension and structure sources, it was obtained that adults considered that treatment and care were difficult to comply with; and the health personnel explained how to treat their disease, however, the information they provided was complex and they did not know how to distinguish the most important one.
