Abstract

Evaluar la satisfacción de los pacientes con el programa ValCrònic, los dispositivos de telemedicina y con el resultado de la atención recibida tras 2 años de seguimiento. Estudio observacional descriptivo basado en encuestas telefónicas. Comunidad Valenciana. En total participaron 410 pacientes que presentaban una o varias de las siguientes patologías: hipertensión, insuficiencia cardíaca, diabetes o enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica. Se incluyó a 585 pacientes, de los cuales 104 abandonaron el programa (18 por fallecimiento) y 71 rehusaron participar. Se diseñó y validó una escala específica. Se consideraron los efectos techo y suelo. Se analizó la consistencia interna mediante alfa de Cronbach. Para comprobar la validez de constructo se empleó un análisis exploratorio de componentes principales con criterio de autovaloración igual a 1. Se aplicó el procedimiento de rotación Varimax. Se consideraron como pérdidas aceptables de información cargas factoriales ≥ 0,55. La escala se conformó con 7 preguntas cerradas y 1 abierta. Respondieron un total de 322 pacientes (tasa de respuesta del 78,5%). 118 (36.6%) fueron mujeres. En 48 (14,9%) casos respondió un cuidador. El valor del alfa de Cronbach fue de 0,7. ValCrònic supuso para 278 (86,3%) pacientes una ayuda para conocer mejor su enfermedad, 270 (83,9%) afirmaron hacer un uso más seguro de la medicación gracias a ValCrònic y 283 (87,9%) dijeron conocer ahora mejor su enfermedad. Para 288 (89,4%) los dispositivos fueron fáciles de manejar en casa. Solo en 12 (3,7%) casos el paciente consideró que los dispositivos de telemedicina suponían una carga de trabajo difícil de conciliar en su día a día. ValCrònic ha contribuido a la activación de los pacientes para autocuidado. To evaluate patient satisfaction with the ValCrònic program, telemedicine devices, and the results of the care received after a 2-year follow-up. Observational, descriptive study based on telephone surveys. The autonomous community of Valencia (Spain). Participants consisted of 410 patients with one or more of the following diseases: hypertension, heart failure, diabetes, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A total of 585 patients were included, of whom 104 left the program (18 due to death) and 71 refused to participate. We designed and validated a specific scale. Floor and ceiling effects were considered. Internal consistency was analyzed using Cronbach's alpha. Responses were obtained from 322 patients (response rate, 78.5%). Of these, 118 (36.6%) were women. In 48 patients (14.9%), the person responding was a caregiver. Cronbach's alpha was 0.7. For 278 patients (86.3%), the ValCrònic program helped them to understand their disease better, 270 (83.9%) reported that it helped them use their medication more safely, and 283 (87.9%) reported they had better knowledge of their disease. For 288 (89.4%), the devices were easy to manage at home. Only 12 patients (3.7%) found that the devices involved a heavy workload that was difficult to incorporate into their daily lives. The ValCrònic program promotes self-care among patients.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
