Objective: To identify subgroups of women with Acute Coronary Syndrome according to symptom experience: perception, evaluation and response, based on the Symptom Management Conceptual Model.
Methodology: Quantitative, descriptive, exploratory, cross-sectional study. The sample was made of 380 women positively diagnosed with Acute Coronary Syndrome, hospitalized in two institutions in Bogotá, Colombia. A measurement instrument was designed and validated.
Results: Final instrument was made of 37 items that reported content validity, scale validity, discriminant validity, and construct validity. A Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of 0,76 was obtained, which guarantees homogeneity in the measurement
according to the Maximum Validity-Maximum Reliability Model.
A total of 11 subgroups of women with Acute Coronary Syndrome were identified, those were characterized by atypical coronary heart disease symptomatology, evaluation processes
related to extra-cardiac causes and inadequate symptom management strategies. It was possible to demonstrate that psychosocial factors, previous coronary heart disease and delays were variables making a significant influence on the components of symptom experience.
Conclusions: Women with Acute Coronary Syndrome, belonging to the 11 subgroups that were identified
and studied, showed atypical symptoms. The instrument designed features a proven psychometric quality; it was valid, reliable, and useful for clinical research and practice.
Resumo
Objetivo: Identificar os subgrupos de mulheres com síndrome coronariana aguda na experiência da percepção dos sintomas , avaliação e resposta , de Modelo Conceitual de Gestão Sintoma
Metodologia: quantitativa , descritivo, exploratório , transversal . A amostra incluiu 380 mulheres com síndrome coronariana aguda confirmada hospitalizado em duas instituições da cidade de Bogotá, Colômbia diagnóstico . Para a coleta de dados de um instrumento de medição foi desenvolvido
Resultados: O instrumento final foi composta por 37 itens que relatam a validade de conteúdo , validade da escala , discriminante e validade de construto . Um coeficiente de Cronbach Alpha de 0,76 , o que garante consistência na medição de acordo com os valores de referência Modelo Validade de alta confiabilidade elevada foi obtida . 11 subgrupos de mulheres com síndrome coronariana aguda , caracterizada por sintomas atípicos de doença coronária, foram identificados processos de avaliação relacionados com extra- cardíacas inadequadas estratégias de gerenciamento de origens e sintomas. Era evidente que os fatores psicossociais , doenças coronárias e atraso vezes anteriores , foram variáveis influentes sobre os componentes da experiência do sintoma.
Conclusões: Os 11 subgrupos identificados mostram atípica estudado em mulheres com síndrome coronariana aguda . O instrumento desenvolvido provou qualidade psicométrica , válido, confiável e útil para a investigação e prática clínica.
