ABSTRACT

Es un hecho inédito en la historia de la humanidad que hijos que han llegado a la ancianidad cuiden de sus padres. Se mostrarán las particulares vicisitudes y desafíos que se plantean en el seno de la familia extensa cuando se trata de hijos adultos mayores quienes asumen la tarea de cuidar a sus padres, ya que éstas difieren de aquellas que se formulan cuando los hijos se encuentran en la adultez media. Si bien muchas familias se adaptan sin grandes sobresaltos a esta transición biográfica, otras se enfrentan a auténticas crisis. Distinguirlas puede ayudar a los profesionales de salud a manejar de mejor modo a sus pacientes y también ayudar a quienes se encuentran abocados a esta tarea.


The growing aging population has given rise to unprecedented event in human history: elderly children in care of their parents. The work will show the particular vicissitudes and challenges within the extended family when it comes to elderly children who assume the task of caring for their parents because they differ from those that are made when children are in the middle adulthood. While many families adapt without major surprises to this biographical transition, others face a real crisis. Distinguishing between both, could help health professionals to best manage their patients and also help those who are working on this task.

ABSTRACT

Background: Self-esteem is positively associated to the well being of people and could be a good mental health indicator. Aim: To determine the reliability and validity of the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale in a Chilean adult sample. Material and methods: The instrument was applied to 473 subjects living in the Metropolitan Region of Santiago, evenly distributed according to gender, age, educational level and income. The Neugarten Life Satisfaction index (LSI-A) was also applied to the sample. Results: Cronbach's alpha for reliability of the scale was 0.754. There was no gender bias and factor analysis grouped items into two factors (5positive and 5 negative). The instrument had a correlation of 0.455 with the LSI-A. Conclusions: The Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale meets the criteria for validity and reliability of a quality instrument to measure self-esteem in Chile.

ABSTRACT

Este trabajo describe clínica y biográficamente tres casos típicos de pacientes ulcerosos pépticos, provenientes de una muestra secuencial de 40 casos estudiados desde el punto de vista psicosocial por los autores. Estos 40 casos provienen de los diagnósticoss endoscópicos realizados en el Departamento de Gastroenterología del Hospital del Salvador. Llama la atención la prevalencia de sintomatología ansiosa, que predomine entre los ulcerosos, duodenales, mientras que entre los gástricos las estructuras depresivas son más frecuentes. Los problemas familiares (alcoholismo paterno, muerte o abandono por parte de los hijos) representan eventos generadores de stress especialmente frecuentes en estos pacientes
