Resumen
La terapia de activación conductual (TAC) a demostrando ser una estrategia eficaz para el manejo de la depresión y la ansiedad en pacientes con enfermedades crónicas, como la diabetes mellitus. El presente estudio evaluó la presencia de síntomas de ansiedad y depresión en paciente con diabetes hospitalizado, diseñando una intervención basada modelo de Terapia Cognitivo Conductual, con un enfoque en la activación conductual (TAC) para disminuir los síntomas y mejorar su calidad de vida. Se encontró que el paciente, inicialmente evasivo al tratamiento e intervención, mostró progresivamente un mayor compromiso y adherencia a la intervención. La activación conductual le permitió retomar actividades placenteras, mejorar su bienestar emocional y fortalecer su manejo de la diabetes. Estudios han demostrado que la TAC es tan efectiva como la terapia cognitivo-conductual en el tratamiento de la depresión, pero con la ventaja de ser más accesible y fácil de implementar en entornos clínicos. En pacientes diabéticos, se ha observado que la activación conductual no solo mejora el estado de ánimo, sino que también contribuye a un mejor control metabólico y reducción del estrés asociado a enfermedad. En conclusión, la TAC permite el manejo de la depresión y la ansiedad en pacientes
diabéticos hospitalizados. Su enfoque práctico y basado en la acción facilita una mejora en la salud mental y física, promoviendo una recuperación más efectiva y un mayor bienestar general. Integrar la terapia activación conductual en la atención hospitalaria de pacientes diabéticos puede ser una estrategia clave para optimizar su tratamiento y calidad de vida
Behavioral activation therapy (BAT) has proven to be an effective strategy for the management of depression and anxiety in patients with chronic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus. The present study evaluated the presence of anxiety and depression symptoms in hospitalized patients with diabetes, designing an intervention based on the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy model, with a focus on behavioral activation (BAT) to reduce symptoms and improve their quality of life. It was found that the patient, initially evasive to treatment and intervention, progressively showed greater commitment and adherence to the intervention. Behavioral activation allowed him to resume pleasurable activities, improve his emotional well-being and strengthen his management of diabetes. Studies have shown that BAT is as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy in the treatment of depression, but with the advantage of being more accessible and easy to implement in clinical settings. In diabetic patients, it has been observed that behavioral activation not only improves mood, but also contributes to better metabolic control and reduction of stress associated with the disease. In conclusion, BAT enables the management of depression and anxiety in hospitalized diabetic patients. Its practical, action-based approach facilitates improved mental and physical health, promoting more effective recovery and greater overall well-being. Integrating behavioral activation therapy into the hospital care of diabetic patients may be a key strategy to optimize their treatment and quality of life.
