Abstract
Objetivos: Analizar la información que tienen las mujeres sobre la terapia hormonal sustitutiva (THS), de quién proviene esta información y cómo se relaciona con la prescripción. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo transversal mediante encuesta telefónica. En relación con la THS, se recogió información sobre su prescripción, el conocimiento sobre la misma y las fuentes de información, sus beneficios y riesgos para la salud y el tipo y fuente de información sobre éstos. Resultados: Se realizaron 371 entrevistas (el 80% de la muestra seleccionada originalmente). El 66% de las mujeres refería conocer los beneficios y el 42% los conocía a través de los profesionales sanitarios. El 36% de las encuestadas creía que la THS tenía riesgos para la salud. El 91% de las mujeres a las que se les prescribe este tratamiento refiere conocer sus beneficios, frente a sólo el 57% de las mujeres a las que no se les prescribe (odds ratio [OR] = 7,32; intervalo de confianza [IC] del 95%, 2,86-18,74). Los profesionales sanitarios son la principal fuente de información de estos beneficios entre las mujeres que reciben la prescripción (93%) (OR = 83,47; IC del 95%, 26,83-278,63). El 57% de las mujeres a las que se les prescribe este tratamiento refieren conocer sus riesgos, frente al 28% de las mujeres a las que no se les prescribe (OR = 3,11; IC del 95%, 1,59-6,05). Conclusiones: Las mujeres a las que se les prescribe THS tienen un nivel de información superior. La inmensa mayoría de las usuarias menciona algún beneficio, pero un 43% refiere desconocer los riesgos que implica su uso. En cuanto a la fuente de información, los aspectos beneficiosos del tratamiento se conocen mayoritariamente a través de los profesionales sanitarios, mientras que los riesgos se conocen tanto a partir de los profesionales sanitarios como de los medios de comunicación.
Objectives: To analyze the information that women have on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), the sources of this information and how it is related to prescription. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study through a telephone survey. Information was collected on prescription of HRT, knowledge of HRT and of its health benefits, risks and type of risk, and sources of information. Results: 371 interviews (80% of the original sample) were completed. 66% of the sample reported knowledge of the benefits of HRT and 42% learnt of them from health professionals. 36% thought that HRT could pose health risks. 91% of the women prescribed this treatment reported knowledge of its benefits compared with 57% of those not prescribed it (OR = 7.32; 95% CI, 2.86-18.74). Health professionals were the main source of information about these benefits among women prescribed HRT (93%) (OR = 83,47; 95% CI, 26.83-278.63). 57% of the women prescribed HRT reported knowledge of its risks compared with 28% of those not prescribed this therapy (OR = 3.11; 95% CI, 1.59-6.05). Conclusions: Women prescribed HRT were better informed than those not prescribed this therapy. Among users, more than 90% mentioned some benefits, but 43% reported not knowing about its risks. Information on the benefits of HRT was mainly provided by health professionals whereas information on the risks was provided by both health professionals and the mass media.
