Satisfacción Y Utilidad Del Tratamiento Rehabilitador A Traves De Material Educativo En Pacientes Con Covid-19
Abstract
\n Objective: In Madrid, during the pandemic, due to hospital saturation, medicalisation of hotels was required for the transfer of patients infected by SARS-COV-2 with favourable evolution. Their typical clinical situation was one of fatigue and physical deconditioning, requiring and benefiting from a rehabilitative approach. The Rehabilitation Department developed educational material in paper format on therapeutic exercise adapted to the different functional situations detected. To describe the profile of patients admitted to a medicalised hotel and to analyse the degree of satisfaction, utuility and adherence to the exercise prescribed during hospitalisation and at home and the related factors.\n Method: We conducted a descriptive study of patients admitted to the Hotel Colon during April and May 2020. We analyzed the socio-demographic and clinical variables, as well as the responses to the adherence and satisfaction questionnaires about rehabilitation management during admission and at discharge.\n Results: 100 patients participated in the study with a mean age of 52 ± 14.5 years, where 61% (n=61) were women. 99% (n=99) reported they understood the material with a 90% (n=90) adherence to exercise during admission and 58% (n=58) at discharge. 92% (n= 92) were very satisfied with the educational material and considered it easy to perform in 100% (n= 100) of cases.\n Conclusion: The use of paper-based educational material of therapeutic exercise appears to be an effective resource in the management of patients with SARS-COV-2 infection during admission, thus minimising the exposure of healthcare staff.\n
