ABSTRACT

Objective: To measure the impact of life-events in the anxiety level of adolescent patients with spinal cord injury at the Teleton Pediatric Rehabilitation Center (CRIT Occidente). Design: Ambispective, prolective, cross-sectional, descriptive, comparative. Method: All adolescent patients with spinal cord injury at the CRIT Occidente with signed informed consent, were given individually two standardized and validated tests: life-events questionnaire and the anxiety scale test. Parametric statistics were applied. Results: 19 adolescents with spinal cord injury were included in the sample. Mean age: 14 years. 63% were females. All of them reported more negative life-events. A mean of 52/12 p ‹ .001 were reported with total anxiety in the 92 percentile. There was significant correlation of negative life-events with total anxiety (p = .04), physiological anxiety, (p = .007). Adolescents ‹ 14 years of age view more positive life-events (p = .009) and those › 16 years of age have more concern and hypersensitivity (p = .02). Women refer more negative life-events y lie less (p = .04). Those with tumoral etiology have more anxiety (p = .06). Conclusions: All patients showed anxiety levels above the expected values and were predictable in proportion to the negative life-events. There are differences according to age, sex and etiology.
