ABSTRACT

A longitudinal study of Community intervention occurred in the popular Council 12 of Manzanillo, located in the community of San Francisco in order to describe the behavior of peripheral vascular disorders in diabetic patients and to evaluate the effect of the preventive treatment in them. There were chosen 57 patients according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and there were applied within a period of 2 years: interviews, surveys, questionnaires, and it was performed a guidance strategy for health education and its promotion. Lectures, talks and conferences were developed. The 71.92% of patients had peripheral vascular disorders, the 54.38% were obese, only the 10.52% had a good diabetes education at the beginning of the study. At the end of the study there were obtained changes, increasing the level of knowledge and clinical improvement in patients. The diabetes education classified as good, was about 29.82% as well as the overall improvement of the patients was about 56.09%. We concluded that diabetic patients with the increase in the age presented a greater predisposition to suffer from peripheral vascular conditions. Patients do not have an adequate level of knowledge about their disease, for this reason it is necessary to continue increasing the horizon of knowledge of these patients about their illness and complications.
