Cuidados paliativos en personas sin hogar: una revisión narrativa

Abstract

Objetivo: este trabajo pretende describir la situación de los Cuidados Paliativos (CP) en Personas Sin Hogar (PSH) Métodos: revisión narrativa. Se realizó una búsqueda en cinco bases de datos especializadas en Ciencias de la Salud: CUIDEN, Cochrane, SciELO, PUBMED y CINAHL, desde 2007 hasta marzo de 2017. Resultados: 17 artículos cumplían los criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Los miedos que sienten las PSH incluyen el anonimato y la pérdida de dignidad y respeto. Las barreras de acceso a los CP engloban la falta de entendimiento con el personal sanitario, experiencias anteriores negativas o falta de recursos económicos o de vivienda. Los profesionales acusan una mala formación, incomodidad tratando temas sobre el final de la vida y escasez de herramientas y tiempo para tratarlo. Los documentos de Voluntades Anticipadas (VA) permiten el empoderamiento de las PSH y ayudan a plasmar por escrito sus deseos. En estos documentos de VA expresan la necesidad de ser tratados con compasión y respeto, ser reanimados (en un alto porcentaje) en caso de parada cardio-respiratoria y designan en su mayoría a un familiar como representante legal. Conclusiones: se debe considerar a la PSH de manera holística y se deben llevar a cabo campañas de sensibilización para visibilizarlos y guías y adecuación de políticas sanitarias para asegurar la provisión de unos CP de calidad.

Aim: This paper aims to describe the situation of the Palliative Care (PC) in Homeless People (HP). Methodology: narrative review of a research on the topic in five databases specialized in Health Sciences: CUIDEN, Cochrane, SciELO, PUBMED y CINAHL, from 2007 until March 2017. Results: 17 articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The fears that HP feel are mainly anonymity and loss of dignity and respect. The barriers they find to their access to PC include lack of understanding with the health professionals, negative past experiences or lack of economic or housing resources. The healthcare professionals report a lack of quality training, discomfort treating end-of-life issues and lack of tools and time to deal with it. The completion of Advance Directives (AD) allows for the HP’s empowerment and allows them to express their desires in writing. In these AD, HP convey their need of a compassionate and respectful treatment, resuscitation (in a high percentage) in case of a cardio-respiratory arrest and, in most cases, the designation of a relative as their legal representative. Conclusions: HP require a holistic approach when it comes to their palliative care, and their situation calls for public awareness campaigns to make them visible, and protocols to accommodate health policies to ensure they receive a high-quality PC.
