ELABORACIÓN DEL MANUAL DE INTERVENCIÓN NUTRICIONAL PARA PACIENTES CON ENFERMEDADES CRÓNICAS NO TRANSMISIBLES ATENDIDOS EN EL CENTRO DE SALUD D0709 DE LA CIUDAD DE GUAYAQUIL

Abstract

This research focuses on the study of the main chronic noncommunicable diseases such as Diabetes mellitus 2, Hypertension and Dyslipidemias and its relation with the feeding practices of the individuals treated between the months of July and September of this year, in the Health Center D0709 from the city of Guayaquil, with a total of 105 patients. The objective of this work is to prepare a manual of nutritional intervention to complement the treatment of patients with chronic noncommunicable diseases attended in the health center D0709. For the development of this study, we proceeded to the use of nutritional and nutritional surveys, socioeconomic cards, clinical data sheets, review of medical records and the taking of anthropometric measures such as height, weight, and waist circumference. The design of the study is descriptive, transversal and retrospective. From the results it was obtained that the perception of nutritional counseling is medium, since 57% of the patients said that if they had received nutritional consultancies, only 22% of the study population does not apply the counseling, and most of them of these are about the decrease in calorie intake. Regarding nutritional status, we found that more than 90% of patients presented anthropometric alterations, almost 100% presented alterations in lipid profile and glycemia. And finally, it was found that one of the main nutritional problems is the ignorance of healthy eating practices. This is why the nutritional intervention must be implemented in a timely and concise manner.
