Resumo
La ansiedad y la tristeza son respuestas emocionales naturales, que se dan en todos los seres humanos; sin embargo, altos niveles de estas respuestas pueden dar lugar a desórdenes emocionales, que con frecuencia se asocian a las mujeres en la época de la menopausia (Hunter, 1990; Sánchez-Cánovas, 1996).
En este trabajo, se presenta un programa de intervención cognitivo-conductual, cuyo objetivo es reducir los niveles de ansiedad y depresión en un grupo de mujeres (n=9), con edades comprendidas entre los 50 y 61 años. Se implantó en el C.I.S. de Arganzuela (Ayuntamiento de Madrid).
El programa de intervención se desarrolló en 15 sesiones, organizadas en tres fases: evaluación pretratamiento, tratamiento y evaluación postratamiento. Para la evaluación pre y postratamiento se utilizaron las siguientes pruebas: Inventario de Situaciones y Respuestas de Ansiedad -ISRA-(Miguel Tobal y Cano Vindel, 1986, 1988, 1994), el Inventario para la Depresión de Beck -BDI-(Beck, Ward, Mendelson, Mock y Erbaugh, 1961; Beck, Rush, Shaw y Emery, 1979) y el Inventario de Solución y Afrontamiento de Problemas -ISAP-(Miguel Tobal, J.J. y Casado, M.I., 1992). El tratamiento se centró en el aprendizaje y puesta en marcha de distintas técnicas cognitivo
-conductuales destinadas al control de las variables psicológicas mencionadas anteriormente.
Los resultados obtenidos cubren de forma positiva los objetivos planteados, reduciéndose los niveles de ansiedad y depresión significativamente, produciéndose, por tanto una mejora en su bienestar psicológico.
Anxiety and sadness are emotional responses which commonly ocurred in all human beings; however, high levels of such responses can lead to allow the onset of emotional disorders, often involved in women during the menopausal period (Hunter, 1990; Sánchez-Cánovas, 1996). In this paper, a cognitive-behavorial programme is presented for reducing anxiety and depression levels in group of women (n=9) with ages ranging between 50 and 61 years. This programme was carried out in the C.I.S. of Arganzuela (Madrid City Hall). The programme included 15 sessions structured in three phases: pre-treatment assessment, treatment, and post-treatment assessment. During pre and post- treatment phases the following assessment instruments were administared: The Inventory of Situations and Responses of Anxiety - ISRA- (Miguel-Tobal & Cano Vindel, 1986, 1988, 1994), the beck Depression Inventory -BDI- (Beck, ward, Mendelson, Mock & Erbaugh, 1961; Beck, Rush, Shaw y Emery, 1979), and the Inventory of Solving and Coping with Problems (Miguel Tobal & Casado, 1992). Treatment phase focused on the application of several cognitive-behavioral techniques for controlling the above mentioned variables. Results showed signifcante decreases in both anxiety and depression levels and an increase in psychological well-being.
