Abstract

Este articulo expone el proceso de reflexión y discusión por el cual transitamos desde el análisis de los resultados de la tesis doctoral sobre medidas de protección integral y garantía de los derechos sociales de las personas con insuficiencia renal crónica en espera para trasplante renal, hasta llegar a la creación de una plataforma de comunicación en Brasil para compartir información personalizada sobre el tratamiento de la enfermedad renal crónica. Se realizaron entrevistas cualitativas a pacientes, equipos profesionales y familiares/cuidadores, datos textuales que fueron analizados en su contenido y permitieron la emergencia de tres temas: significados en torno a la enfermedad renal crónica y al trasplante renal, informaciones sobre la cirugía de trasplante renal y desarrollo de la aplicación móvil “Kiga” para la enfermedad renal crónica. Los resultados mostraron carencias en la atención, que no permiten la efectiva aplicación de las políticas públicas en salud, asistencia social y seguridad social. Específicamente, fallas en el proceso de comunicación entre equipos de salud, usuarios y familiares/cuidadores. Para poder mejorar el comportamiento del día a día de las y los pacientes y sus condiciones de salud, es necesario ofrecer mayores informaciones y un ambiente de atención personalizado. La aplicación móvil “Kiga” tiene como objetivo atenuar la desinformación sobre la enfermedad y el tratamiento. Ofrecer apoyo en el post-diagnóstico y acompañamiento y auxiliar al paciente en la autogestión de su tratamiento.
