Objetivou-se identificar as necessidades de aprendizado em saúde de pacientes hipertensos e diabéticos hospitalizados. Estudo descritivo, realizado com 10 pacientes internados em um hospital público da cidade de Fortaleza-CE, nos meses de setembro a dezembro de 2011, por meio de entrevista semiestruturada e observação de campo. Os pacientes possuíam elevado grau de dependência e incapacidades graves, além de déficit de conhecimento relacionado às patologias, levando à falta de adesão ao tratamento. O acidente vascular cerebral foi a principal complicação clínica. A terapêutica não medicamentosa foi citada como importante, contudo a medicamentosa melhor simboliza o autocuidado para os pacientes. Concluiu-se que o enfermeiro deve implementar educação em saúde no plano de cuidados a essa clientela.
ABSTRACT
This descriptive study to identify health education needs among diabetic and hypertensive hospital inpatients was conducted from September to December 2011 through semi-structured interviews and field observation of 10 inpatients at a public hospital in Fortaleza. The patients were highly dependent and severely disabled, besides lacking knowledge about their pathologies, leading to failure to adhere to treatment. Strokes were the main clinical complication. Non-drug therapy was cited as important, although drug treatment symbolizes the patients’ self-care better. It was concluded that nurses should perform health education in the care plan for this clientele.
