| Abstract (English): |
The family has an important role within the health-disease process. However, this area of knowledge has not been sufficiently studied and its inclusion in medical practice is variable. We conducted a literature review in order to analyze the conceptualization of family, the relationship between family and the health-disease process, the family typology classification and its characterization in Colombia, and the ways for addressing the family context among patients who require it. Some clinical conditions should include the family perspective in health care, particularly chronic diseases which represent an increasing burden in Colombia; thus, enhanced knowledge and skills for getting and using family information is necessary in different levels. Strengthening the curricula of medical career including the family perspective would be desirable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
La familia tiene un papel determinante en el proceso salud-enfermedad. No obstante, esta área del conocimiento no se ha es tudiado suficientemente y su consideración en la práctica médica es variable. Se realizó una revisión de la literatura con el propósito de analizar la conceptualización del término familia, las interrelaciones entre familia y proceso salud-enfermedad, la clasificación de la tipología familiar y su caracterización en colombia y el abordaje del contexto familiar en los pacientes que así lo requieran. Diversas circunstancias clínicas ameritan incluir este enfoque, particularmente las enfermedades crónicas que representan una carga creciente en nuestro medio, por lo que se requiere la adquisición de conocimientos y el desarrollo de habilidades para la obtención y uso de información familiar, lo cual puede realizarse con distintos grados de profundidad. Es recomendable fortalecer los currículos de la carrera de medicina, incluyendo la perspectiva familiar. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
