Abstract
Se obtuvo un desconocimiento moderado acerca de los cuidados paliativos en el adulto mayor
diabético-hipertenso ya que la mayoría de los cuidadores que corresponde al 66.7% no han recibido alguna
formación respecto a Cuidados Paliativos. Conclusión: Se debe implementar estrategias dirigida a los
cuidadores que desempeñan sus funciones en el Centro Gerontológico San Miguel de Bolívar, a través de
capacitaciones, talleres activos, charlas educativas acerca de la importancia que tienen los cuidados
paliativos en enfermedades crónica, porque a mayor conocimiento y formación en esta área, va existir mayor
conciencia en la toma de decisiones en el cuidado de pacientes que padezcan de enfermedades crónicas que
limiten su capacidad de vida, y por lo tanto tendrán la capacidad de ofrecer un cuidado humanístico,
mitigando el dolor y proporcionando apoyo espiritual y psicológico.
