Objetivo

Se pretende llevar a cabo una evaluación económica de un centro de día psicogeriátrico (CD), comparándolo con los cuidados comunitarios habituales (CC).

Material Y Método

Se ha estudiado a 96 pacientes psicogeriátricos: 51 que acudían a CD y 45 que recibían CC. Para la recogida de datos se diseñó un protocolo que incluía variables sociodemográficas, clínicas y de costes, tanto del paciente como del cuidador familiar. Los dos grupos eran homogéneos en cuanto a la edad, el sexo, el deterioro cognitivo y la capacidad funcional al inicio del estudio, y se realizó un seguimiento durante un año.

Resultados

No se encontraron diferencias en cuanto al estado de salud del paciente ni a la situación del cuidador, aunque se observó una tendencia no significativa a presentar menos trastornos conductuales entre los pacientes que acudían al CD. Únicamente la satisfacción con los cuidados era significativamente mayor entre los familiares de los pacientes atendidos en estos centros. En cuanto al coste, éste era superior en el CD, con diferencias distributivas en los componentes de los costes en ambos recursos asistenciales.

Conclusión

El CD supone mayor coste que los CC sin modificar de forma significativa la salud del paciente ni la de su cuidador, con la excepción de una mayor satisfacción con los cuidados.

Objective

The aim is to carry out a financial evaluation of a Psychogeriatric day center (DC), comparing it with the usual community care (CC).

Material and Method

96 psychogeriatric patients were studied, 51 who were attending a DC and 45 who were receiving CC. A protocol was designed for the collection of data which included sociodemographic, clinical and cost variables for both the patient and the family caregiver. Both groups were homogeneous in terms of age, gender, cognitive impairment and functional capacity at the start of the study, and follow-up was performed for a period of one year.

Results

No differences were detected in terms of patient health status or situation of the caregiver although a non-significant tendency to present fewer behavior disorders among DC patients was observed. Only satisfaction with the care received was significantly higher among the relatives of patients seen at DC. In terms of cost, it was higher in DC and differences in the distribution of cost items were observed in healthcare resources.

Conclusion

The DC results in higher costs than CC with no significant changes in the patient's health or in that of his/her caregiver, with the exception of a higher degree of satisfaction regarding the level of care received.
