Educação na nefropatia diabética: aplicabilidade de uma cartilha educativa

Abstract

Resumo: A nefropatia diabética (ND) é uma complicação crônica microvascular frequente no paciente diabético. A obtenção de um controle glicêmico próximo da normalidade, o tratamento rigoroso da hipertensão arterial e o das dislipidemias tem sido medidas usadas para a prevenção de ND. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a aplicabilidade de uma cartilha educativa que continha informações para pacientes com diabetes para a promoção e prevenção da ND. A cartilha educativa foi distribuída à 200 pacientes no Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Goiás. Uma análise detalhada dos dados foi feita e a cartilha mostrou-se aplicável para a prevenção primária na ND. A prevenção primária protege indivíduos susceptíveis de desenvolver esta complicação comum do diabetes.

Education and knowledge in diabetic nephropathy

“…Observing the difference between categorized groups of the respondents who reported having knowledge about DN, it can be seen that there is no significant difference between groups that had a complete and incomplete graduate/postgraduate course, female and male, and age greater or less than 27 years. Diabetic nephropathy is a complication that affects about 10% to 40% of patients with DM, and is currently, the pathology which is more associated with new cases of patients with kidney problems who undergo hemodialysis (Braga et al, 2012;Adolfo Milech et al, 2016).…”
