Resumen

Introducción

Las tasas de mortalidad en pacientes que sufren quemaduras ha disminuido, el reto ahora es la calidad de vida de los supervivientes, en quienes se han encontrado altas prevalencias de trastornos mentales.

Objetivo

Describir la prevalencia de trastorno de despersonalización en pacientes quemados.

Método

Revisión de la literatura médica publicada sobre el tema, utilizando las bases de datos MedLine, Ovid y Tripdatabase.

Resultados

Está bien documentado que los síntomas disociativos, entre ellos la despersonalización, acompañan las reacciones de estrés agudo que se desencadenan por traumas mayores, y que ciertos estilos cognitivos predisponen a los individuos que se exponen a traumas a desarrollar psicopatología, primordialmente trastorno por estrés postraumático.

Conclusión

A pesar de estos conocimientos, escasos estudios se han realizado para establecer la prevalencia de los fenómenos de despersonalización-desrealización en pacientes quemados, un campo de estudio que ofrece infinidad de oportunidades.

Palabras clave:

despersonalización

disociación

quemadura

dolor

Conclusion

Despite this knowledge few studies have been conducted to establish the prevalence of phenomena of depersonalization-derealization in burned patients.

Key words:
