- Evaluation of acceptance of chronic disease: a need of health professionalsPublication . Baptista, Gorete; Galvão, Ana Maria; Pimentel, Maria HelenaAcceptance means recognizing and understanding the limitations and losses caused by the disease, being instrumental in the adaptation of the individual to the disease. Objectives: In this study we analyze the acceptance of the disease, translated by some type of disability in individuals with chronic disease. Methods: This is a quantitative descriptive and explanatory study in 210 patients on hemodialysis and 53 diabetic patients, in Portugal. The acceptance was evaluated using the Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS), (Felton, 1984), with only eight items and which directly focuses on the extent of acceptance of the disease, and analyzed their reliability. Results: The AIS is a scale to measure reliably the acceptance of the disease because it has good internal consistency (Cronbach’s a = 0.794). In descriptive statistics obtained for the behavior of the two samples, we find that the minimum and maximum values observed (10-40) are within the expected range (8-40). We observed no statistically significant differences in outcomes for the two groups analyzed. The hemodialysis and diabetic sample exhibit moderate levels of acceptance of the disease, respectively on average, 22.76/26.93. Conclusions: Regardless of the disease and the impact of your treatment, your acceptance is crucial in the adaptation process, by which healthcare professionals should consider as a positive variable, it is important to review the chronically ill.
- The person on chronic haemodialysis treatment: influence of " self-actualization" in accepting deseasePublication . Baptista, Gorete; Galvão, Ana Maria; Pimentel, Maria HelenaThis study of the emotional state of the haemodialysis (HD)patients, evaluates the success, or not, to feel acceptance and value, becoming fulfilled itself, although the incapacity, dependency and uselessness feelings that the illness causes. To assess the relationship between the emotional state related as acceptance and the level of self-actualization that the haemodialysis patients. This is a quantitative descriptive and explanatory cross-correlated study of 150 adults’ haemodialysis patients. We selected two scales to assess the phenomena in question: “Acceptance of Illness Scale, Felton’s, 1984, and the “Self-Actualization Scale”, Guerra, 1992. The statistical tests had been based on the application of the coefÀ cient of Pearson’s correlation, analysis of variance ANOVA, T test and Levene’s test. The majority of the sample is constituted by men (62%) and the average of ages is about 52.7 years old. We found a moderate positive correlation (r = 640) and statistical signiÀ cant (p < 0,001) between the changeable self-actualization and the changeable acceptance of the illness, allows us to infer that an increase in the self-actualization levels permits the increase of the acceptance and vice-versa. From all the results we can infer, with significant statistics that how much bigger it will be the self-actualization biggest will be the acceptance of the illness. The person on haemodialysis treatment, it is collated with limitations in its daily life but it must react searching a direction for life, a reason that makes it move and not adopt a state of passive resignation. The health professionals can help it in this process of development of its potentials, necessary and positive to its accomplishment as person.
