Resumen


Resumen

Introducción: la leucemia es el cáncer más frecuente en niños y adolescentes, y tiene una alta prevalencia de depresión y ansiedad que deterioran la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud. Los síntomas de depresión y ansiedad pueden pasar inadvertidos por el médico al considerar que son una respuesta normal durante el tratamiento del cáncer.

Objetivo: determinar la prevalencia de depresión, ansiedad y calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en pacientes pediátricos con leucemia.

Material y métodos: estudio en el que participaron niños y adolescentes mexicanos con leucemia cuya depresión se estableció con el Inventario de Depresión Infantil, su ansiedad con la Escala de Ansiedad Infantil Spence y su calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS) con el PedsQL 4.0.

Resultados: fueron 37 participantes, con una mediana de edad de 11 años (8-14 años); 19 (51.4%) fueron del género masculino. Los padres de 25 pacientes (67.5%) estaban casados, los de 10 (27%) en unión libre, el de uno estaba divorciado (2.7%) y el de otro soltero (2.7%). La religión prevalente fue la católica en 29 (78.3%); 16 pacientes (43.2%) reportaron depresión, 10% ansiedad y 94.5% reportó adecuada calidad de vida relacionada con la salud, con un promedio de 74.2 ± 16.2.

Conclusiones: la depresión fue la más prevalente, seguida de la ansiedad; la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud se reportó como buena. El impacto nocivo aún sigue siendo prevalente en una población vulnerable, la cual se debe atender de manera integral y oportuna en todos los niveles de atención.

 

Abstract

Background: Leukemia is the most frequent cancer in children and adolescents, and it has a high prevalence of depression and anxiety which deteriorates the quality of life related to health. The symptoms of depression and anxiety may go unnoticed by the physician as a normal response during cancer treatment.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of depression, anxiety and health-related quality of life in pediatric patients with leukemia.

Material and methods: study with the participation of Mexican children and adolescents with leukemia whose depression was determined with the Childhood Depression Inventory, their anxiety with the Spence Childhood Anxiety Scale, and their health-related quality of life (HRQoL) with PedsQL 4.0.

Results: 37 participants, with a median age of 11 years (8-14 years); 19 (51.4%) were male. The marital status of the parents in 25 participants (67.5%) was married, in 10 (27%) had a domestic partnership, in one (2.7%) had divorced parents and in one it was single (2.7%). The prevailing religion was Catholic in 29 (78.3%); 16 patients (43.2%) reported depression, 10% anxiety and 94.5% reported an adequate health-related quality of life, with an average of 74.2 ± 16.2.

Conclusions: Depression was the most prevalent, followed by anxiety. Health-related quality of life was reported as good. The harmful impact is still prevalent in a vulnerable population, which must be attended in a comprehensive and timely manner at all levels of care.
