La carga social y emocional del síndrome de Dravet en los cuidadores españoles

Estamos muy emocionados porque hoy os traemos una nueva publicación científica que acabamos de publicar en la revista Heliyon, concretamente de nuestro estudio titulado “La Carga Social y Emocional del síndrome de Dravet en los Cuidadores Españoles”, tan solo unos días después de que publicáramos nuestro estudio titulado “Navegando con el Síndrome de Dravet en España: Un Estudio Transversal de Diagnóstico, Manejo y Coordinación Asistencial” en la revista científica Epilepsy Open.

En este caso, el estudio se centra en profundizar en el impacto del síndrome de Dravet en el componente social y emocional de la vida de los cuidadores en España, gracias a la colaboración de todos aquellos que respondisteis a la encuesta correspondiente, ayudándonos a recopilar datos acerca del estado laboral, financiero, emocional y social de los pacientes y cuidadores de personas con síndrome de Dravet en nuestro país.

Algunos de los resultados y conclusiones son:

  1. Impacto en los cuidadores:
  • Más del 90% de los participantes (112) en el estudio eran cuidadores principales, y las madres eran más propensas a ser cuidadoras principales que los padres.
  • Casi el 75% de los cuidadores tuvo que dejar su trabajo o reducir su jornada laboral para cuidar a su hijo con síndrome de Dravet.
  • Casi el 85% de los cuidadores que trabajaban se sentían abrumados y ansiosos por equilibrar el trabajo y el cuidado del paciente con síndrome de Dravet.
  • Conclusión: El cuidado de personas con síndrome de Dravet impone una carga emocional significativa en los cuidadores, principalmente madres, afectando sus relaciones familiares y sociales, así como su bienestar emocional. Además, muchos tienen que dejar sus trabajos o reducir la jornada laboral, lo que genera una carga económica y emocional adicional.
  1. Desinformación:
  • Más del 85% de los cuidadores se sentían mal informados por el Sistema Nacional de Salud y los profesionales sanitarios.
  • Casi el 85% reemplazaron la información profesional con búsquedas en Internet, principalmente por la página web de nuestra Fundación (82%).
  • Conclusión: Muchos cuidadores se sienten mal informados por el Sistema Nacional de Salud y los profesionales sanitarios, lo que los lleva a buscar información en Internet. Esto resalta la necesidad de mejorar la comunicación y la educación sobre el síndrome de Dravet por parte de los profesionales sanitarios.
  1. Relaciones familiares:
  • El 63% de los cuidadores afirmaron que la enfermedad había fortalecido el vínculo familiar.
  • El 53% reportaron impactos negativos en su relación con otros miembros de la familia.
  • Casi el 70% de los pacientes con síndrome de Dravet duermen en la misma cama que sus padres o en la misma habitación.
  • Conclusión: Aunque el cuidado de una persona con síndrome de Dravet puede fortalecer los lazos familiares, también puede tener efectos negativos en las relaciones con otros miembros de la familia y en la intimidad de la pareja.
  1. Actividades sociales y de ocio:
  • Casi la mitad de los cuidadores pasaban 1 o 2 días a la semana en actividades de ocio, mientras que el 46% no dedicaban ningún día a estas actividades.
  • Casi el 90% de los padres buscaban entornos más adecuados para pasar tiempo con su hijo con síndrome de Dravet debido a la falta de espacios de ocio adaptados.
  • Conclusión: Los cuidadores tienen poco tiempo para actividades de ocio y enfrentan dificultades para encontrar espacios de ocio adaptados para sus hijos con DS, lo que afecta también a sus relaciones sociales y su bienestar emocional.
  1. Recursos y apoyo:
  • El 90% de las familias tenían acceso a algún tipo de recurso social, y el 90% de ellos podían beneficiarse de estos recursos.
  • El 65% de los cuidadores dijeron que no era fácil acceder a las ayudas del sistema público.
  • Más del 80% consideraron que no recibían suficiente apoyo de las administraciones públicas para el cuidado de una persona con DS.
  • Conclusión: Aunque la mayoría de los cuidadores tienen acceso a recursos públicos, el proceso para obtenerlos es complicado y lleva varios años. Muchos cuidadores consideran que el apoyo recibido es insuficiente.

En definitiva, el síndrome de Dravet no solo afecta profundamente la vida de los pacientes, sino que también impone una carga significativa en sus familias. Este estudio ha revelado la magnitud del impacto emocional, social y económico que enfrentan los cuidadores, destacando la necesidad urgente de reformas políticas y mejoras en el sistema sociosanitario. Es esencial que los profesionales adopten un enfoque más proactivo en la educación y el apoyo a las familias, y que se desarrollen y pongan en marcha programas específicos que aborden los desafíos únicos de enfermedades raras como el síndrome de Dravet, algo que ya venimos haciendo.

Además, la integración de los servicios de trabajo social en el sistema sanitario y la creación de espacios de ocio adaptados pueden mejorar significativamente la calidad de vida de las familias afectadas. La colaboración entre investigadores, clínicos, trabajadores sociales y familias es crucial para desarrollar un enfoque multidisciplinario que no solo aborde las necesidades médicas, sino también el bienestar social y emocional de los pacientes y sus cuidadores. Solo a través de un esfuerzo conjunto podremos avanzar hacia un futuro donde las familias de personas con síndrome de Dravet reciban el apoyo integral que merecen.


El artículo científico original que hemos publicado está en inglés, pero os lo dejamos aquí para aquellos que lo queráis leer: https://www.cell.com/heliyon/fulltext/S2405-8440(24)10802-X

Agradecemos a todas las familias que participasteis en este estudio. Vuestra colaboración a participar en estudios y a compartir vuestras experiencias es fundamental para avanzar en la comprensión y el manejo del síndrome de Dravet. Sigamos por tanto trabajando unidos, apoyándonos mutuamente y dando pasos hacia un mañana mejor.
