Resumen
El objetivo de este trabajo consistió en determinar los rendimientos cognitivos (atención, memoria, lenguaje, funciones ejecutivas y praxias) y estados emocionales en adolescentes con VIH/SIDA. El método es tipo cuantitativo, con un diseño de corte Observacional-trasversal – descriptivo. Con una muestra conformada por un total de 53 adolescentes, de los cuales, 30 son VIH positivo y 23 son seronegativos – controles sanos, sin infección por VIH -. Los resultados evidenciaron diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos, siendo el grupo control el que obtuvo mayores puntajes en relación con aspectos de la atención – selectiva y sostenida – (1), memoria verbal (2), denominación verbal (3), memoria visual (4), funciones ejecutivas (5), e inteligencia – coeficiente intelectual – (6). En conclusión, los adolescentes con VIH presentan rendimientos cognitivos más bajos en comparación con el grupo control seronegativo. Esto sugiere déficits cognitivos que deben seguir estudiándose en investigaciones posteriores.
The objective of this work was to determine cognitive performance (attention, memory, language, executive functions and praxis) and emotional states in adolescents with HIV/AIDS. The method is a quantitative type, with an Observational-cross-sectional design - descriptive. With a sample made up of a total of 53 adolescents, of whom 30 are HIV positive and 23 are seronegative - healthy controls, without HIV infection -. The results showed significant differences between both groups, being the control group the one that obtained higher scores in relation to aspects of attention – selective and sustained – (1), verbal memory (2), verbal denomination (3), visual memory (4 ), executive functions (5), and intelligence – IQ – (6). In conclusion, adolescents with HIV have lower cognitive performance compared to the seronegative control group. This suggests cognitive deficits that should be studied further in further research.
