Abstract

Este artículo tiene como sustento teórico a la psicología de la salud, en general, y a la psicología de la salud infantil, en particular. La línea de investigación en la cual se enmarca es la de enfermedades crónicas, abordadas desde una perspectiva biopsicosocial. Se dan a conocer datos que demuestran la eficacia de las intervenciones psicológicas a nivel hospitalario. En esta investigación se muestra que los programas holísticos fomentan la calidad de vida del paciente pediátrico con leucemia. La razón fundamental para abordar esta neoplasia es porque es la más frecuente en la población pediátrica a nivel mundial y porque existen pocos programas de apoyo de orden psicológico para estos niños y sus familias. La creciente investigación en el área representa la posibilidad de incidir en diferentes instituciones logrando la inclusión del psicólogo y demostrando que una intervención multidisciplinaria es la opción más acertada.

Translated abstract

This article has a general theoretical support on health psychology, but it focuses on child health psychology. The line of research focuses chronic illnesses from a biopsychosocial perspective. There is data that demonstrates the effectiveness of psychological interventions in hospitals. This research shows that holistic programs foment the quality of life on pediatric patients with leukemia. Approaching leukemia is essential because it is the most frequent disease in the pediatric population and psychological programs to support these children and their families are few. Increasing research in this area represents the impact and possibilities of holistic programs in different institutions by including psychological programs and demonstrating that multidisciplinary intervention is the best option.

Stress, Appraisal, and Coping

PhD Richard S. Lazarus, PhD Susan Folkman (1984)

The reissue of a classic work, now with a foreword by Daniel Goleman!Here is a monumental work that continues in the tradition pioneered by co-author Richard Lazarus in his classic book Psychological Stress and the Coping Process. Dr. Lazarus and his collaborator, Dr. Susan Folkman, present here a detailed theory of psychological stress, building on the concepts of cognitive appraisal and coping which have become major themes of theory and investigation. As an integrative theoretical analysis, this volume pulls together two decades of research and thought on issues in behavioral medicine, emotion, stress management, treatment, and life span development. A selective review of the most pertinent literature is included in each chapter. The total reference listing for the book extends to 60 pages. This work is necessarily multidisciplinary, reflecting the many dimensions of stress-related problems and their situation within a complex social context. While the emphasis is on psychological aspects of stress, the book is oriented towards professionals in various disciplines, as well as advanced students and educated laypersons. The intended audience ranges from psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, nurses, and social workers to sociologists, anthropologists, medical researchers, and physiologists.
