          Abstract

          Resumen Introducción: El grado de conocimiento de los pacientes sobre sus medicamentos está altamente asociado a la mejora de su uso racional y de los resultados de la farmacoterapia. El objetivo fue evaluar el conocimiento y cumplimiento del tratamiento farmacológico en pacientes hipertensos y diabéticos tipo 2 en una unidad de salud de la familia de la ciudad de Luque. Método: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, de corte transverso. La selección se realizó por conveniencia y la información se obtuvo a través de entrevistas, durante las visitas domiciliarias de mayo a junio 2021, utilizando un cuestionario estructurado que incluía datos sociodemográficos, y preguntas de la metodología de Dáder y del test de Morisky-Green modificado. Resultados: De los 50 pacientes entrevistados, el 80 % fueron mujeres, con una edad promedio de 63,04 ± 11,39 años, y con un bajo nivel de estudios. El 100 % eran hipertensos y el 38 % también diabéticos. Los antihipertensivos más prescriptos, ya sea solo o combinados, fueron losartán potásico (50 %), y enalapril maleato (18 %). El 42 % de los diabéticos utilizaban antidiabéticos orales y el 58 % insulina. El 100 % de los pacientes desconoce su tratamiento, y el cumplimiento no superó el 22 %, para ambas patologías. Conclusiones: Los pacientes no son conocedores adecuados de su tratamiento, y el cumplimiento es muy bajo, por lo que es necesaria la intervención del farmacéutico y la implementación de estrategias educativas que puedan ayudar a mejorar el grado de conocimiento y la adherencia a su tratamiento.

          Abstract Introduction: The level of patients’ knowledge about their medications is highly related to the improvement of their rational use and the results of the pharmacotherapy. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and the compliance with the pharmacological treatment in hypertensive and type 2 diabetic patients in a family health unit of the city of Luque. Method: It was carried out an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study. The selection was done by convenience and the information was obtained through interviews which took place during the home visits from May to June, 2021. A structured questionnaire was used and included social demographic data and questions of the Dader method and the Morisky-Green test modified. Results: Among the 50 interviewed patients, 80% were women, with an average age of 63,04 ± 11.39 years with a low level of education. 100% were hypertensive and 38% were diabetic too. The most prescribed antihypertensive, both, alone or combined, were Ioasartan Potassium (50%) and Enalapril Maleate (18%). 42% of the diabetic patients used oral antidiabetics and 58% insulin. 100% of the patients ignored their treatment and the compliance did not exceed 22% for both diseases. Conclusions: The patients do not know their treatment and the compliance is very low. Thus, it is necessary the intervention of a pharmacist and the implementation of educational strategies that can help to improve the level of knowledge and the adherence to treatment.

          Achievement of goals in U.S. diabetes care, 1999-2010.

          Tracking national progress in diabetes care may aid in the evaluation of past efforts and identify residual gaps in care. We analyzed data for adults with self-reported diabetes from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System to examine risk-factor control, preventive practices, and risk scores for coronary heart disease over the 1999-2010 period. From 1999 through 2010, the weighted proportion of survey participants who met recommended goals for diabetes care increased, by 7.9 percentage points (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.8 to 15.0) for glycemic control (glycated hemoglobin level <7.0%), 9.4 percentage points (95% CI, 3.0 to 15.8) for individualized glycemic targets, 11.7 percentage points (95% CI, 5.7 to 17.7) for blood pressure (target, <130/80 mm Hg), and 20.8 percentage points (95% CI, 11.6 to 30.0) for lipid levels (target level of low-density lipoprotein [LDL] cholesterol, <100 mg per deciliter [2.6 mmol per liter]). Tobacco use did not change significantly, but the 10-year probability of coronary heart disease decreased by 2.8 to 3.7 percentage points. However, 33.4 to 48.7% of persons with diabetes still did not meet the targets for glycemic control, blood pressure, or LDL cholesterol level. Only 14.3% met the targets for all three of these measures and for tobacco use. Adherence to the recommendations for annual eye and dental examinations was unchanged, but annual lipid-level measurement and foot examination increased by 5.5 percentage points (95% CI, 1.6 to 9.4) and 6.8 percentage points (95% CI, 4.8 to 8.8), respectively. Annual vaccination for influenza and receipt of pneumococcal vaccination for participants 65 years of age or older rose by 4.5 percentage points (95% CI, 0.8 to 8.2) and 6.9 percentage points (95% CI, 3.4 to 10.4), respectively, and daily glucose monitoring increased by 12.7 percentage points (95% CI, 10.3 to 15.1). Although there were improvements in risk-factor control and adherence to preventive practices from 1999 to 2010, tobacco use remained high, and almost half of U.S. adults with diabetes did not meet the recommended goals for diabetes care.
