• Resumen

  • A pre-experimental before-after study was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the application of an educational intervention program to increase knowledge related to alternative therapies for arthropathies in clinic 5 of the Baraguá polyclinic, in the period from January 2021 to January 2022. The universe was constituted by 236 patients belonging to this area, a sample of 70 patients was chosen by means of a simple random sampling. The Mc. Nemar statistical test was used to find significant differences between the level of knowledge before and after the intervention. The participants had a low level of knowledge about alternative treatments for their pathologies. It was possible to increase the level of knowledge since almost all the patients finished the research with an adequate general level of knowledge.
