Proceso de atención de enfermería en paciente con insuficiencia venosa crónica basado en la teoría de Callista Roy

Abstract

Introduction: Chronic venous disease is a major source of morbidity in Western Europe and the United States. Varicose veins are a common manifestation of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition caused by weak or damaged vein walls and valves. Veins have one-way valves inside them to keep blood flowing toward the heart. Damaged or weakened valves can cause blood to pool and flow backward, commonly known as reflux. Although CVI is common in both men and women, it is twice as common in women as in men. Superficial venous insufficiency is treated medically with graduated compression stockings, or in advanced disease that is refractory to conservative therapy with surgery or endovascular procedures such as endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), chemical-mechanical ablation, and ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy. Deep venous insufficiency is also treated conservatively with graduated compression stockings, but those that fail can be treated with surgical valve reconstruction or valvuloplasty. The nursing care process is a method that guides the work of the nursing professional in his systematic, humanistic and scientific work, which focuses on evaluating how to improve the health of a person, family or group. Callista Roy, who affirms that human beings adapt through acquired learning processes, for this reason the nursing professional must consider the person as a unique, autonomous, free and dignified being that is part of a context that cannot be separated
