Delays in the attention of breast cancer in women of subsidized regime residents in bogota and soacha, served during 2014 and 2015.
This study takes into account the reasons of the patients within the delay process. It was evidenced that the median of attention time was greater when the patients had personal barriers. It is concluded that focusing the personal barriers from the beginning will considerably shorten the initial attention time.
• The personal delays said mainly by the participants, were:-I did not seem important- I was afraid to consult due to consequences and / or emotional decaythis work allows an approach to the delays in a first approach to those corresponding to the patients, there are emotional components (he was afraid to consult), economic components (lack of money to transport), components of the environment (work, time).
On the delays of the health system, the main reason associated with the care in the diagnosis and treatment is:-Complicated procedures in EPS, IPS, or diagnostic centers, delay in authorizations, delay in taking / delivering results, exams, without specialist agenda-.
The analysis of the evaluated group of the subsidized health regime shows that all the delay figures are greater than those of the contributory group, which means that patients with breast cancer of the subsidized regime have a worse prognosis from the beginning.
