ABSTRACT

Es bien conocido que las enfermedades somáticas padecidas por los pacientes, afectan el estado psicológico de las personas con quienes estos guardan un vínculo cercano. Intentamos corroborar este hecho aplicándoles test de Hamilton a 58 padres de pacientes, hospitalizados en las alas de oncología pediátrica de diversos centros de salud de Caracas. Se observó una prevalencia de depresión en el 90% de los padres y además pudimos ver que los grados de depresión variaban de acuerdo a ciertos determinantes como el tiempo de desarrollo de la enfermedad y el ambiente del centro hospitalario. Siendo por ende necesario brindar atención psicológica especializada a los acompañantes de los pacientes en los distintos centros de salud
