Ítem Acceso Abierto Ajustes psicosociales en jóvenes que utilizan una prótesis debido a un accidente de tránsito: Una revisión Bibliográfica.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) García Tenesaca, Mónica P.; Yange Castro, Karelys N.; Ormaza Ulloa, Luis M.; 0107584484; 0706712841The present study aims to identify, from a literature review, the psychosocial adjustments in young people who use prostheses due to a traffic accident. Also, it analyzes the individual's resilience and level of coping and describes adaptation strategies that allow the individual to reintegrate in all areas. Even though the primary goal of amputation is to save a life, the procedure comes as a shock due to the consequences on both their physical and functional limitations; it comes to influence the significant impact on their new body image and other associated aspects. The research aims to analyze and study the scientific literature to learn about the psychosocial adjustments in all aspects of the individual's life and to investigate the mental health of amputees through the studies. A non-experimental descriptive literature review was conducted. The review was developed with scientific studies published in English and Spanish between 2016 and 2022 and registered in the database of high-impact journals. The studies reviewed indicate problems in the mental health of amputees, such as alterations in their body image and difficulties in social, occupational, family, and academic reintegration. In addition, resilience and coping capacity have become a slow process; despite the publications in the network on psychological problems, the presence and need for further studies in the field of psychological intervention for first-hand care with this group is discussed.
