Resumen
Objetivo: Verificar el comportamiento de los síntomas depresivos, fatiga, equilibrio postural y marcha en mujeres con Esclerosis Múltiple (EM), antes del aislamiento y después del fin del aislamiento social, medida introducida por la pandemia de Covid-19. Métodos: La muestra de este estudio longitudinal prospectivo incluyó a 15 mujeres con EM. Utilizando la Escala de Enfermedad Determinada por el Paciente (PDDS), categorizamos dos grupos, sin discapacidad para caminar (GSI) y con discapacidad (GCI). Se evaluó, en dos momentos, la presencia de síntomas depresivos mediante el inventario de Beck (BECK-II), la gravedad de la fatiga (FSS) y su impacto (MFIS), el equilibrio postural (posturografía) y la marcha (test de marcha de 25 pies). Para comparar las variables recogidas en diferentes momentos se utilizó una prueba t pareada. Resultados: Encontramos mejoras significativas y un tamaño del efecto moderado (p<0,05 y ES>0,50) en los síntomas depresivos y la fatiga del GCI después del final del aislamiento. No encontramos diferencias significativas en las otras comparaciones. Conclusión: Como hallazgo principal, nuestro estudio mostró que para el GCI, regresar a la vida social fue suficiente para una mejora significativa en los síntomas depresivos y la fatiga. Por tanto, reforzamos la importancia de la atención sanitaria dirigida al ámbito psicosocial en la población de mujeres con EM e incapacidad para caminar.
