Asociación capacidad autocuidado del personal de salud frente a los factores de riesgo cardiovascular modificables

Abstract

Las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) constituyen un conjunto de trastornos del corazón y los vasos sanguíneos, con factores de riesgo clasificados como no modificables y modificables. Entre estos últimos se encuentran el tabaquismo, la mala alimentación, la obesidad, la hipertensión, la diabetes y la hiperlipidemia. A pesar de los esfuerzos globales para reducir su impacto, las ECV siguen cobrando vidas. La OMS y la OPS consideran esta situación una epidemia, destacando la importancia de abordar los factores de riesgo modificables. Un estudio realizado en la Clínica del Occidente de Bogotá buscó asociar los factores de riesgo modificables de ECV con la capacidad de agencia de autocuidado en el personal de salud. Se empleó una metodología de análisis descriptivo multivariado, incluyendo Análisis de Correspondencias Múltiples (ACM) y análisis K-means para formar grupos de individuos con características similares.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) comprise a set of heart and blood vessel disorders, with risk factors classified as non-modifiable and modifiable. Among modifiable risks are smoking, poor diet, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. Despite global efforts to reduce their impact, CVDs patients are dying. The WHO and PAHO consider this situation as an epidemic, and these organizations highlighted the modifiable risk factors to address it. Accordingly, the Clinica de Occidente´s decides to do a research in Bogotá, it was performed using the methodology of multivariate descriptive analysis, including Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) and K-mean, analysis for clustering groups of individuals with similar characteristics. Research´s results showed that nursing staff who practiced a regular self-care agency capacity, with certain risk factors such as cholesterol, had elevated levels. A relationship between risk factors and self-care capacity was identified, where higher levels of self-care generate normal risks values. with a low risk of CVD detected in the next 10 years In conclusion, increasing Self-care capacity among nursery staff is of vital importance to reduces ECV risks.
