MORAIS, António José Pinto de  e  QUEIROS, Paulo Joaquim Pina. Adherence to non-invasive ventilation: the perspective of the patient and family caregiver. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2013, vol.serIII, n.10, pp.7-14. ISSN 0874-0283.  https://doi.org/10.12707/RIII1227.

Context: Non-invasive ventilation for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is performed at home, after a brief period of training in the hospital setting, leaving the patient responsible for managing and executing it according to their medical prescription. Objectives: to build a theoretical framework of the process of adherence to a therapeutic regimen in chronic illness, on the basis of users and their family caregivers. The methodology used corresponds to Grounded Theory, originally developed by Glaser and Strauss. The principles and rules of open coding, axial coding and selective coding were used in data analysis. Results: the adherence of people with COPD to their therapeutic regimen takes place in a context of multidisciplinary intervention. Conclusion: nurses should be aware of strategies that require familiar support and involvement, knowledge acquisition and evaluation of the difficulties and benefits of implementing the therapy.
