Full description
Chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are the cause of increased consumption of socio-health resources, this in time and costs of medication these patients, added to this is the aging population that has drawn the attention of economists, politicians, health workers and researchers. At present, the change in the population pyramid is one of the factors that caused the increase in chronic diseases, which are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. (Campos, M. Moya, D. Mendoza, D. Child, E., 2014).
The presence of chronic non-communicable diseases makes it of interest of the whole society including the government, private sector and academia, twenty-one making it more advantageous and cost-effective strategies are needed as new media and thus strengthen the capacity of health services to respond to NCDs. (World Health Organization, 2012).
For other part of the (NCCD) usually are long and slow evolution, affecting all age groups and all regions regardless of condition social, besides also they characterized by total or partial loss of autonomy seeing the person who has it must depend wholly or partly from a caregiver who provides security and support during his illness and in the process of recovery, This requires that promote the development of knowledge and skills in people with chronic non-communicable diseases and their caregivers and form social and support networks to facilitate better adaptation process against disease, through sources that allow you to collect systematize and disseminate information in order to improve the level of knowledge and induce changes to behaviors and lifestyles that promote physical and mental health care cuidadorsujeto dyad. (Herrera, A. Florez, I. Romero, E. Montalvo, A. Physical, psychological, social and spiritual implications of chronic non-communicable disease (NCD), affect not only the sufferer, but also their family caregiver (5), which substantiates the need to go beyond the organic approach the same; thus the social support family caregivers of people with NCDs takes importance. (Barrera, L. Campos, M. Carreño, S. Carrillo M, Chaparro,L. Jaimes, M. Ortiz, S. Piratoba, B. Rosales, R. Sánchez, B., 2013) According Colliere quoted by Campos, CARE is an act of life that means an infinite variety of activities to sustain life and enable continuity and reproduction. Garcia says that caring is a habitual simple activity in humans, continually practiced as an integral part of the daily activities of people, to answer the essential aspiration to meet the needs. (Campos, M. Moya, D. Mendoza, D. Child, E., 2014) Escudero says Sitter is "the person or family, which provides most of the care and daily support who suffers from a disease or require assistance for the development of activities of daily living, without receiving financial remuneration" (Campos, M. Moya, D. Mendoza, D. Child, E., 2014) In Colombia in the study by Barreto and collaborators reported that most care for his family since the beginning of the NCCD, with exceeding seven months and more than seven hours per day times, which can mean an oppressive and incompatible work with a good quality of life. However, just over half report not only carers and have braces, spiritual and social family.
Additionally it was found that 8.6% of caregivers reported dysfunction and, particularly, 3.6% reflecting deterioration in mental status, thus the risk of the occurrence of adverse events for themselves and their families with NCDs is very high. (Barreto, R. Campos, M. González, G. Coral, R. Chaparro, L. Duran, M, et al, 2015) This study also found that knowledge and access to information and communication technologies (ICT), mostly middle and upper part, constitute an invaluable opportunity for social support for this group; only 42.8% of caregivers reported healthy.
The results corroborate the charge that the role of caregiver is associated with extensive wear and confirm findings from different studies analyzing the burden of care. (Barreto, R. Campos, M. González, G. Coral, R. Chaparro, L. Duran, M, et al, 2015).
This study adopts the concept of skill care proposed by Nkongho as a multidimensional concept with three dimensions including knowledge, courage and patience. From these principles Nkongho ability develops the concept of care as "the ability to help others grow in a relationship that involves process development." (Eterovic, C. Mendoza, S. Saenz, K. 2015) This project is a research derived "Program Decreased Burden of Chronic Disease Transmissible No (NCDs) in Colombia". In which a pilot test where the results showed the felt need for an educational program on the ability of care in family caregivers of patients with chronic disease was made.
This justifies the realization of this project will allow participation in Extension and Social Outreach, an effective educational model for caregivers of people with non-communicable chronic disease in Colombia. In addition, the consolidation of the alliance between Everest group at the University of Santander with the Latin American Network of chronic patient care and teaching hospital in Bucaramanga The Communards projects. Finally it is expected to consolidate training in the area of research students in undergraduate and graduate programs in specialization in Quality Management and Audit in Health at the University of Santander.
