Resumen
VEGA-ANGARITA, Olga Marina y GONZALEZ-ESCOBAR, Dianne Sofía. Social Support Perceived and Competence for Care in the Home, Ocaña, Colombia. Nova [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.32, pp.95-108. ISSN 1794-2470.
Objective.
Describe and determine the relationship between the level of perception of social support and the competence to care at home for family caregivers of adults with chronic disease.
Method.
Correlational study with a quantitative and cross-sectional approach performed on a sample of 103 caregivers from the municipality of Ocaña. Three instruments were used: Characterization card Caregiver - person with chronic disease GCPC-UN-C, Social Support in chronic Hilbert disease (SSCI) and Competence for care - Caregiver abridged version- GCPC-UN-CPC.
Results.
Regarding social support, satisfaction was found in all dimensions of the Hilbert scale and globally. The level of global competence for caregiving at home was adequate. However, needs for strengthening knowledge, instrumentality and uniqueness are identified. We identified a weak correlation with low statistical significance among the variables under study.
Conclusions.
The competence to care at home in the caregiver is developed independently of the level of satisfaction with the perceived social support.
