Resumen
La presente investigación tuvo como propósito evaluar la cognición y el apoyo social percibido en consumidores de sustancias psicoactivas, dado que el consumo problemático en jóvenes y adultos representa un fenómeno de alto impacto individual y social. El objetivo central fue analizar la relación entre la cognición y el apoyo social percibido en usuarios entre 18 y 45 años atendidos en el Hospital Mental Rudesindo Soto de la ciudad de Cúcuta.
Se desarrolló un estudio cuantitativo de tipo correlacional, con un muestreo por conveniencia compuesto por 41 participantes. Para la evaluación de las variables se emplearon la Escala GEOPTE de Cognición Social y la Escala Multidimensional de Apoyo Social (MSPSS). Los datos fueron organizados en Microsoft Excel y analizados mediante el coeficiente de Spearman en el software SPSS.
Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de los participantes son adultos jóvenes, hombres, pertenecientes a estratos socioeconómicos bajos y con nivel educativo medio. Presentan un funcionamiento adecuado tanto en funciones cognitivas básicas como en cognición social. En cuanto al apoyo social, se evidenció un mayor respaldo familiar y de personas significativas, mientras que el apoyo proveniente de amigos fue menor.
Finalmente, no se encontraron correlaciones estadísticamente significativas entre cognición y apoyo social percibido, aunque se observó una tendencia inversa entre la cognición y el apoyo recibido por parte de los amigos
The present study aimed to evaluate cognition and perceived social support in individuals who use psychoactive substances, given that problematic substance use among youth and adults constitutes a phenomenon with significant individual and social impact. The central objective was to analyze the relationship between cognition and perceived social support in users aged 18 to 45 years receiving care at the Rudesindo Soto Mental Hospital in the city of Cúcuta. A quantitative, correlational study was conducted with a convenience sample of 41 participants. To assess the variables, the GEOPTE Social Cognition Scale and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) were administered. Data were organized using Microsoft Excel and analyzed with Spearman’s correlation coefficient in SPSS. Results indicate that most participants were young adults, male, from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and with intermediate educational levels. They demonstrated adequate performance in both basic cognitive functions and social cognition. Regarding social support, greater support from family members and significant others was observed, whereas support from friends was comparatively lower. Finally, no statistically significant correlations were found between cognition and perceived social support, although an inverse trend was observed between cognitive functioning and support received from friends.
