Abstract
MORALES-VIANA, Liliana Cristina. Self-care for teenagers on dialysis. Univ. Salud [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.1, pp.88-99. ISSN 0124-7107. https://doi.org/10.22267/rus.192101.142.
Introduction:
Self-care for adolescents with chronic end-stage renal failure who are on dialysis has been understudied; although, it constitutes an important mechanism for health care.
Objective:
To identify the scientific evidence on the self-care of adolescents with chronic end-stage renal failure on dialysis.
Materials and methods:
The Biomed Central-Open Acces, E-books collation EBSCO, EBSCO, Global Health, ISI Web of Science, OVID, PubMed Central, SciELO, ScienceDirect, SCOPUS and Springer Link databases were consulted by using the keywords: self-care, adolescents, chronic noncommunicable diseases, chronic end-stage renal failure, adherence, pharmacological adherence, adherence to treatment, in Spanish and English.
Results:
From 452 articles consulted, 84 were selected because they met the inclusion criteria and four chapters of analysis were built: adherence to treatment, restriction in the intake of fluids, interventions aimed at strengthening therapeutic adherence and qualitative approximations to the self-care of adolescents with chronic end-stage renal failure.
Conclusions:
Self-care of adolescents with chronic end-stage renal failure on dialysis has been addressed mainly from a quantitative approach. Multiple factors interfere with adherence to treatment; therefore, the need for new approaches to cope with the challenge of self-care both in practice and in research is evident.
Keywords : Self-care; adolescent; renal insufficiency, chronic; treatment adherence.
