Abstract
El estudio pretendió determinar la presencia de depresión y/o ansiedad en
adultos con retinosis pigmentaria (RP) y en sus familiares, frente a un grupo
control. También trató de averiguar si la agudeza visual (AV) de los afectados
tenía relación con estas variables. Se utilizó el Cuestionario de Ansiedad
STAI y el Inventario de Depresión de Beck. Los resultados mostraron depresión
leve en los afectados y mayores niveles de ansiedad, como estado y
como rasgo, tanto en ellos como en sus familiares; aunque no se encontró
relación con la AV. Se recomienda evaluar la ansiedad y la depresión tras el
diagnóstico de la enfermedad y transcurrido un tiempo, para proporcionar
apoyo psicológico adecuado a los afectados y a los familiares.
The aim of this study was to determine the possible presence of depression and / or anxiety in adults with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), as well as their families, compared to a control group. It was also intended to determine if the Visual Acuity (VA) have any impact on the variables analyzed. It was used the State – Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Beck Depression Inventory. Results showed that anxiety was higher in people with RP and their families, as a state and as a feature, and the presence of mild depression in RP group. No relationship was found between VA and these variables. It is recommended to evaluate anxiety and depression variables just after the diagnosis of the disease and again over time, in order to provide psychological support to those affected and their families.
