Crisis intervention for acute and chronic patients in the face of certain diseases and their care. Support for support groups made up of people with specific medical diagnoses (diabetes, kidney failure, avc or others)

Abstract

Chronicity or chronic disease refers to clinical-care situations where the patient has one or more complex pathologies (comorbidity) of long evolution. These situations are, in part, the result of population aging and advances in medicine, biology, pharmacology, etc., which results in an increase in the life expectancy of the population. Regional health administrations promote the development of strategic action plans and standardized procedures that allow to address chronicity. Crisis intervention for the acute and chronic patient has standardized care procedures that must act under the biopsychosocial care model or paradigm, far from the mere biologic approach focused on clinical hegemony. There are currently procedures in place for crisis situations in emergency and health emergencies, epidemics and pandemics, mental health care, catastrophes, etc., which must meet minimum quality standards and provide adequate response to the critical situations for which they were designed, such as the SENECA project. With the birth of Law 39/2006, of 14 December, on the promotion of personal autonomy and care for persons in situations of dependency, the model of social and health care is undergoing a great transformation, thus, certain resources no longer remain dispersed and are grouped in the catalog of benefits of the law, although informal carers are maintained.
