La Fibrosis Quística (FQ) es la enfermedad congénita con la tasa de mortalidad más alta en la población caucásica. Se estima que 1 de cada 2,500 personas es portadora del gen de la fibrosis quística. El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar el nivel de conocimiento de los padres de los pacientes con fibrosis quística atendidos por el Servicio de Neumología de un hospital pediátrico de Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, durante el período febrero-marzo de 2016. Fue un estudio prospectivo, descriptivo, analítico y transversal en el que se evaluaron 40 padres para determinar el nivel de conocimiento que poseen sobre la fibrosis quística.En los resultados encontrados se establece lo siguiente: el nivel de conocimiento reflejado por los padres de pacientes con fibrosis quística fue regular, representado por un 42.5%. El principal obstáculo para que los padres aprendan acerca del proceso patológico fue la incomprensión de la terminología utilizada por los prestadores de salud, obteniendo un 31.37%. Con respecto a la relación del nivel de conocimiento versus el sexo, se muestra que el sexo femenino mostró tener un mayor conocimiento, representado por un 43.75%. El método que prefirieron para su aprendizaje fue recibir charlas educativas, significando un 35% del total. En conclusión, los padres de pacientes con fibrosis quística presentaron un nivel de conocimiento regular, lo que fue causado por la incomprensión de la terminología médica. Según la mayoría de ellos, su conocimiento podría mejorar a través de la implementación de charlas educativas por parte del personal médico.
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the congenital disease with the highest mortality rate in the Caucasian population. It is estimated that 1 in every 2,500 people carries the gene for cystic fibrosis. The objective is to assess the level of awareness of parents of patients with cystic fibrosis attended by the pulmonology department of a pediatric hospital in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, during the period from February to March 2016.This was a prospective, descriptive, analytical study and cross in which 40 parents were evaluated for level of knowledge they have about cystic fibrosis. The results, following the level of knowledge reflected by the parents of patients with cystic fibrosis was regularly, represented by a 42.5%. The main obstacle for them to learn about the disease process was the lack of understanding of the terminology used by health care providers, obtaining 31.37%. With respect to the relationship of the level of knowledge versus sex, it shows that females presented greater knowledge, represented by 43.75%. The preferred method for learning was to receive educational talks, meaning 35% of the total. In conclusion, parents of patients with cystic fibrosis showed a normal level of knowledge, which was caused by misunderstanding of medical terminology. According to most of them, their knowledge could be improved through the implementation of educational lectures by medical personnel.
