Resumen
El abandono en los adultos mayores se ha convertido en una problemática muy común en la actualidad. No amerita especificar lugares para presenciar la gran cantidad de personas de la tercera edad que sufren todo tipo de abandono, además la falta de recursos para poder cubrir sus necesidades básicas, entre muchas otras razones que los conlleva a la situación de calle a pedir ayuda en instituciones públicas o privadas. El presente proyecto de investigación de tipo cuantitativo surge por la necesidad de identificar los niveles de ansiedad que pueden presentarse por la condición de abandono familiar en adultos mayores entre los 60 – 90 años edad, en la ciudad de Barranquilla. Se evaluaron 12 adultos mayores (5 mujeres, 7 hombres)
en situación de abandono quienes realizaron el inventario de Beck y a quienes se les aplicó una entrevista semiestructurada para identificar datos personales, familiares y sociales. Los adultos mayores evaluados presentan abandono parcial, en cual se muestra un abandono emocional o afectivo. Una de las razones más comunes de abandono del adulto mayor por parte de su núcleo familiar se da cuando este ha cumplido con su vida laboral útil. También presentan sentimientos de tristeza, irritabilidad, ansiedad, desesperanza y angustia.
Abandonment in the elderly has become a very common problem nowadays. It is not necessary to specify places to witness the large number of elderly people who suffer all kinds of neglect, in addition to the lack of resources to meet their basic needs, among many other reasons that lead them to the street to ask for help in public or private institutions. This quantitative research project arose from the need to identify the levels of anxiety that may occur due to the condition of family abandonment in older adults between 60 and 90 years of age in the city of Barranquilla. Twelve older adults (5 women, 7 men) in a situation of abandonment were evaluated, who completed the Beck inventory and were given a semi-structured interview to identify personal, family and social data. The evaluated older adults presented partial abandonment, which shows emotional or affective abandonment. One of the most common reasons for abandonment of older adults by their families is when they have completed their useful working life. They also show feelings of sadness, irritability, anxiety, hopelessness and anguish.
