Resumen
La amputación es una condición discapacitante que genera importantes repercusiones físicas, emocionales y sociales, incrementando el riesgo de desarrollar depresión. El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar el nivel de depresión en pacientes adultos amputados atendidos en dos hospitales públicos de nivel III de la ciudad de Chiclayo durante el periodo mayo–octubre de 2024.Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, transversal y no experimental. La población estuvo conformada por pacientes adultos sometidos a amputación de miembros superiores o inferiores en el Hospital Regional de Lambayeque y el Hospital Nacional Almanzor Aguinaga Asenjo. La muestra fue censal e incluyó a 50 pacientes que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Para la evaluación de la depresión se utilizó el Inventario de Depresión de Beck-II, instrumento validado. El análisis de los datos se efectuó mediante estadística descriptiva. Los resultados mostraron que el 88% de los pacientes presentó algún grado de sintomatología depresiva, predominando la depresión mínima (46%) y leve (42%), mientras que el 10% presentó depresión moderada y el 2% depresión grave. La mayor afectación se observó en el área afectivo-emocional (98%), seguida del área físico-conductual (92%) y cognitiva (86%). Predominaron pacientes varones, adultos mayores, con inactividad laboral y amputaciones principalmente secundarias a pie diabético (70%). Se concluye que la depresión es una comorbilidad frecuente en pacientes amputados, por lo que resulta necesaria la evaluación sistemática de la salud mental como parte del abordaje integral y del proceso de rehabilitación.
Amputation is a disabling condition that produces significant physical, emotional, and social consequences, increasing the risk of depression. The aim of this study was to determine the level of depression in adult amputee patients treated at two level III public hospitals in the city of Chiclayo during the period from May to October 2024. A descriptive, cross-sectional, and non-experimental study was conducted. The population consisted of adult patients who underwent upper or lower limb amputation at the Hospital Regional de Lambayeque and the Hospital Nacional Almanzor Aguinaga Asenjo. A census sample of 50 patients who met the inclusion criteria was evaluated. Depression was assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory-II, a validated instrument. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that 88% of the patients presented some degree of depressive symptoms, with minimal depression in 46% and mild depression in 42%; moderate and severe depression were observed in 10% and 2%, respectively. The affective-emotional domain was the most affected (98%), followed by the physical-behavioral (92%) and cognitive (86%) domains. Most patients were male, older adults, unemployed, and had amputations mainly caused by diabetic foot (70%). In conclusion, depression is a frequent comorbidity among adult amputee patients, highlighting the need for systematic mental health screening and interdisciplinary management as part of comprehensive care and rehabilitation.
