Resumen
En la actualidad, cada vez son más las personas que sufren Enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA), una nueva epidemia de prioridad mundial y europea que está asociada al progresivo envejecimiento de la población. Esta enfermedad que se presenta con una alta prevalencia y una elevada morbi-mortalidad, supone que la persona que la padece sea especialmente vulnerable a los accidentes domésticos. Esta problemática afecta de primera mano a las personas cuidadoras familiares, que sufren el miedo de que el paciente se accidente y sufrirá junto con él las consecuencias de los mismos. Por todas estas razones, se pone de manifiesto la necesidad de realizar intervenciones educativas encaminadas a disminuir y
prevenir este problema. En el presente trabajo se pretende ofrecer una respuesta educativa mostrando la estructura de un Programa de Educación para la salud dirigido a personas cuidadoras de Enfermos de Alzheimer a fin de prevenir los accidentes domésticos y que son usuarias del Centro de Salud de Valdepeñas de Jaén.
