Resumo
Em geral, os familiares tem um papel importante no cuidado e no suporte aos pacientes durante internacao. Muito se discute a respeito dos familiares de pacientes internados em UTI ou pacientes pediatricos, entretanto ha poucos estudos de familiares de pacientes adultos no hospital geral. Objetivo: Identificar as necessidades dos familiares dos pacientes internados no hospital geral. Metodos: Foi feito um estudo tranversal randomizado onde foram entrevistados 47 pacientes e 47 familiares que responderam a questionarios desenvolvidos para o estudo sobre o perfil socio-demografico dos pacientes e familiares, perfil de convivencia e parentesco dos familiares e perfil clinico do pacientes. Foram utilizados tambem as escalas Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Confusion Assessment Method, Karnofsky Performance Status e Inventario de Necessidades e Estressores dos Familiares de pacientes em Terapia Intensiva (versao brasileira do CCFNI). Resultados: Foi notado que os pacientes internados no Hospital São Paulo sao na maioria pacientes cronicos. A maioria dos acompanhantes e do sexo feminino e em relacao ao parentesco sao, predominantemente, conjuges e filhos. Eles visitam os pacientes com frequencia. As necessidades mais importantes sao aquelas que se referem aos fatores de seguranca e informacao da escala INEFTI. Conclusoes: Os familiares sentem necessidade de receber informacoes sobre os pacientes e consideram importante confiar no tratamento medico e na equipe de Saúde. Eles querem ver os pacientes com frequencia e tendem a deixar suas necessidades em segundo plano
Family members often play an important role in the care and support of patients during hospitalization. There are plenty of Critical Care and/or Pediatric inpatients families’ studies, yet little is known about adults inpatients’ family members. Purpose: To determine needs of general hospital inpatient’s families. Methods: This is a randomized transversal study, in which 47 inpatients and 47 family members were interviewed. They answered to questionnaires developed for this study to gather family members and patients’ social-demographic information, relationship to patient and patient’s clinical evolution data. It was also applied the following scales: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Confusion Assessment Method, Karnofsky Performance Status and Inventário de Necessidades e Estressores dos Familiares de pacientes em Terapia Intensiva (Brazilian version of CCFNI). Results: We find out that most of Hospital São Paulo’s inpatients are cronical. Most of the visitors are female and spouses or children. They often visit the patient. The needs considered most important are those regarding assurance and information on INEFTI. Conclusions: Families are willing to receive information about patient’s evolution and consider trust in physician and in health allies an important aspect. They want to see the patient frequently and they don’t take into account their own needs
