Resumen
En los últimos años, el estudio de la satisfacción por los tratamientos en pacientes con adicciones, se ha convertido en un recurso valioso para evaluar la calidad de los abordajes y predecir sus resultados. Sin embargo, no se han encontrado investigaciones que estudien condiciones de los pacientes predictoras de satisfacción. En este estudio se analiza la relación entre características de los pacientes y sus niveles de satisfacción por el tratamiento, conformando una muestra probabilística de 216 pacientes de instituciones del Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires especializadas en adicciones. Los participantes debieron completar un cuestionario que indagaba su satisfacción respecto de diferentes elementos de los abordajes. Los análisis estadísticos mostraron que algunas variables de los pacientes se asocian con diferentes niveles de satisfacción. La pertenencia al género masculino, el estar en pareja y tener menores niveles de instrucción, se vincularon significativamente con mayor satisfacción. Menor cantidad de sustancias consumidas y motivo de consulta, se asociaron, a su vez, con un grado superior de satisfacción. Los resultados presentan la necesidad de valorar estos rasgos preexistentes al momento de diseñar los tratamientos, para adecuarlos a las especificidades de los pacientes, en busca de mejores niveles de satisfacción y, en última instancias, mejores resultados.
In the last years, studies of patients’ satisfaction in drug abuse treatments have become a valuable tool for assessing the quality of treatment and predicting their outcome. However, no previous research has been found that examine patients´ conditions that could predict satisfaction. This study analyzes the relationship between patients’ characteristics and their degrees of satisfaction in treatment using a probabilistic sample of 216 patients from institutions specializing in addictions within the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires. Participants complete a questionnaire about their satisfaction with different elements of the treatment. Statistical analysis shows that some patients’ variables are associated with different levels of satisfaction. Belonging to the male gender, having a significant other, and having lower levels of education were significantly linked with greater satisfaction. Fewer amounts of substances consumed as well as fewer substances that motivated the reason for consultation were associated with a higher degree of satisfaction. The results show the importance of assessing these existing features when designing treatments to suit the specific needs of patients; to seek higher levels of satisfaction, and ultimately, better overall results.
