Resumen
El Traumatismo Encéfalocraneal (TEC) es uno de los principales problemas de salud pública actual debido a la morbi-mortalidad que implica. Gran parte de aquellos que sobreviven son adultos jóvenes que sufren discapacidades graves, las cuales les ocasionan una dependencia funcional de sus familiares para las actividades de la vida diaria o bien precisan ingresar en centros de asistencia médica. Objetivo: identificar factores sociodemográficos, psicológicos y psicosociales asociados al Traumatismo Encéfalocraneal para esclarecer el impacto negativo de este fenómeno en el paciente y su cuidador familiar. Método: búsqueda bibliográfica a través de bases de datos electrónicas, completada manualmente sobre la base de listados de referencias de artículos publicados. Los trabajos seleccionados se correspondían al objetivo del estudio y fueron analizados cualitativamente. Resultados y conclusiones: fueron seleccionados 42 trabajos empíricos cuyos resultados indican que la medición del nivel de anosognosia en pacientes con Traumatismo Encéfalocraneal resultaría ser un elemento predictor de la inserción social del paciente. Asimismo, esta patología incide en los vínculos del paciente con su familia y grupo de pertenencia.
Introduction: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is one of the main problems of present public health, due to the morbid-mortality that it implies. Great part of the people that survive are young adults who undergo serious handicaps. For this reason they have a functional dependency on their relatives in daily life activities, and it is the cause for which they need to enter medical aid centers. Objective: To identify socio-demographic, psychological and psycho-social factors associated with TBI and to clarify the negative impact of this phenomenon in patients and caregivers. Method: Bibliographical search through electronic data bases, completed manually on the basis of reference lists of published articles The selected works corresponded to the objective of the study and were analyzed qualitatively. Results and conclusions: 42 empirical works were selected whose results indicate that the measurement of the level of anosognosia in patients with TBI would turn out to be a predicting element of the social insertion of the patient. Furthermore, this pathology affects the bonds of the patient with the family and group of belonging.
