Myths and beliefs about diabetic foot: A cultural study in outpatients with type 2 diabetes at the Hospital Regional de LambayequeMitos y creencias sobre el pie diabético: Un estudio cultural en pacientes ambulatorios con diabetes tipo 2 del Hospital Regional de LambayequeCórdova López , Eglee Tais Loayza-Enríquez , Blanca KatiuzkaLeón Jimenez, FrancoPie diabéticoculturamiedoeducación del pacienteentrevistamedicina tradicionalDiabetic footculturefear patient educationinterviewtraditional medicineObjective: To analyze and explore beliefs, myths, and fears about the care of diabetic foot (DF) in a hospital in northern Peru. Methods: A qualitative and analytic study was carried out using semi-structural interviews applied to patients recruited through a convenient sample limited by thematic saturation among individuals attending the Diabetic Foot Unit of Hospital Regional Lambayeque. The results were registered, transcribed, coded, and categorized manually with thematic analysis. Results: Ten individuals were interviewed. Three categories were obtained: a. myths and beliefs about the genesis of DF; unknown and spontaneous origin, the religion imposes the belief that DF are the results of divine punishment, magico-religious causes (witchcraft), or inadvertent lesions. B. myths and beliefs around management: avoid food that exacerbates DF, use of anti-inflammatory herbs, and request for a sorcerer consultation or auto prescription. C. living with fears and anxiety: amputation and limitations. Conclusion: Myths and beliefs were identified that need to be taken into account by healthcare professionals to improve the management of DF.Objetivo: Analizar y explorar las creencias, mitos y miedos sobre el cuidado del pie en pacientes con pie diabético (PD) en un hospital del norte del Perú. Material y métodos: Estudio cualitativo, con paradigma interpretativo y tipo análisis temático, mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas a personas de la Unidad de Pie diabético del Hospital Regional Lambayeque, reclutados mediante muestreo por conveniencia y delimitado por saturación temática. Los resultados fueron registrados, transcritos, codificados y categorizados manualmente con análisis temático. Resultados: Se entrevistaron diez personas con Diabetes tipo 2; se obtuvieron tres categorías: a. Mitos y creencias sobre la aparición de úlceras de pie diabético (UPD): origen desconocido y generación espontánea, la religión impone la creencia de que las UPD son castigos divinos, causas mágico-religiosas (brujería) y lesiones inadvertidas; b. Mitos y creencias en torno al tratamiento: evitar alimentos que empeoren las heridas, uso de hierbas antiinflamatorias, recurrir a prácticas de brujería y automedicación; C. Vivir con miedos e inquietudes: amputación y limitaciones. Conclusión: Se identifican mitos, creencias y miedos que podrían impactar en la salud de los pacientes y que el personal de salud debe tener en cuenta para favorecer aquellas creencias positivas que complementan los tratamientos con eficacia comprobada.Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia2025-03-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed articleArtículo evaluado por paresapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://revistas.upch.edu.pe/index.php/RMH/article/view/543910.20453/rmh.v36i1.5439Revista Médica Herediana; Vol. 36 No. 1 (2025): Enero-Marzo; 26-36Revista Médica Herediana; Vol. 36 Núm. 1 (2025): Enero-Marzo; 26-36Revista Medica Herediana; v. 36 n. 1 (2025): Enero-Marzo; 26-361729-214X1018-130X10.20453/rmh.v36i1reponame:Revistas - Universidad Peruana Cayetano Herediainstname:Universidad Peruana Cayetano Herediainstacron:UPCHenghttps://revistas.upch.edu.pe/index.php/RMH/article/view/5439/6050https://revistas.upch.edu.pe/index.php/RMH/article/view/5439/6576Derechos de autor 2025 Eglee Tais Córdova López , Blanca Katiuzka Loayza-Enríquez , Franco León Jimenezhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistas.upch.edu.pe:article/54392025-08-14T07:32:42Z |
