Journal Title: Más Vita - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is a rele-vant disease due to the increase in its pre-valence in people over 50 years of age. Objective: To determine the family partici-pation in the prevention of complications in patients with type 2 diabetes admitted to the Intensive Care Unit - General Hos-pital IESS Milagro, January to June 2019. Methodology: it had a quantitative, des-criptive-deductive, non-experimental cross-sectional approach. A form with 13 questions in order to answers the objec-tives of the study, was designed. From the universe of 210 admitted patients, a sample was made up of 68 patients with their respective relatives, selected by means of non-probability sampling, of which 64.7% belong to the male gender, the most affected ages being those be-tween 61 and 80 years of age, who live in the rural area (33.82%). Results: they showed that the ignorance of the relatives about the disease and its complications is one of the most relevant factors, with 85.29%. The evolution time of the disease is six to eight years (52.94%). Your spou-se (38.24%), mostly provides participa-tion in the administration of medications. The labor situation is the main limitation in patient care (55.88%), with the level of moderate-severe dependency being the main problem (44.12%); non-complian-ce with medical indications represented by 54.41%, presenting hyperglycemia (44.12%), and kidney disease (65.45%), hypertension (43.75%) as the most rele-vant complications; the mortality rate is 27.94%. Conclusion: It was found that family participation significantly influen-ces the care of these patients, since they allow preventing complications from type 2 diabetes, as part of public health strate-gies to deal with chronic non-communica-ble diseases
