Abstract
La presente investigación está orientado en determinar la autopercepción y estado emocional de los adolescentes con escoliosis. Esta investigación aborda aspectos sociodemográficos para comprender el contexto en que viven los adolescentes, asimismo analiza cómo perciben su propio cuerpo en relación a esta enfermedad y el impacto psicosocial y emocional que describen los adolescentes desde su experiencias personales y adultos responsables. Se trata de una investigación cualitativa, enfoque descriptivo. En las narrativas se obtuvieron mediante entrevistas semiestructuras, dirigidas a siete pacientes adolescentes con escoliosis y a siete adultos responsables.
Los principales hallazgos revelan que la escoliosis es más prevalente en adolescentes femeninas que masculinos, un dato que coincide con lo reportado en la literatura.
Además se identificó en los relatos de los participantes un retraso en el diagnóstico de adolescentes, particularmente en áreas alejadas, lo que resalta la necesidad de mejorar el acceso a servicios de salud y fomentar la detección temprana de escoliosis en zonas con menos recursos.
Otro aspecto que se evidencia una vez que asumen la escoliosis͏, los pacientes empiezan con un gran efecto en su parte emocional, mostrando miedos͏ y falta de seguridad. Esto muestra lo importante que es otorgar atención médica especializada a los adolescentes, pensando no solo en lo físico, sino también en los problemas que puedan presentar en la comunidad educativa.
The present research is aimed at determining the self-perception and emotional state of adolescents with scoliosis. This research addresses sociodemographic aspects to understand the context in which adolescents live, as well as analyzes how they perceive their own body in relation to this disease and the psychosocial and emotional impact described by adolescents from their personal experiences and responsible adults. It is a qualitative research, descriptive approach. The narratives were obtained through semi-structured interviews, aimed at seven adolescent patients with scoliosis and seven responsible adults. The main findings reveal that scoliosis is more prevalent in female adolescents than in males, a fact that coincides with what has been reported in the literature. In addition, a delay in the diagnosis of adolescents was identified in the participants' reports, particularly in remote areas, which highlights the need to improve access to health services and promote early detection of scoliosis in areas with fewer resources. Another aspect that is evident once they assume scoliosis, patients begin with a great effect on their emotional part, showing fears and lack of security. This shows how important it is to provide specialized medical care to adolescents, thinking not only about the physical, but also about the problems they may present in the educational community.
