Implementación de un proceso de sensibilización en torno al manejo del proceso de duelo con familias en el centro de neurodesarrollo y estimulación iSMART en el año 2021

Abstract

The loss of a loved one entails a process of psychological changes in the individual and his or her environment. The crisis of change experienced by individuals and family members involves the development of a grieving process. When this process deviates from its usual course, pathological grief occurs, which negatively affects the individual and prevents them from carrying out their daily activities. iSMART is a neurostimulation, psychology and learning center, focused on the physical and psychological health of: children, adolescents and adults, offering Psychopedagogy, Psychology and Psychorehabilitation services, so it was taken as a context in which it is intended to implement a process of sensitization around the management of the grieving process with families. The methodology used was mixed (quantitative-qualitative), since surveys and interviews with the center's therapists were used to carry out the diagnosis, then the information collected was systematized and the main problems presented by the center's users were identified, which allowed the development of a planning of workshops aimed at the center's parents and therapists, sensitizing the community on the subject and enabling the use of appropriate tools to deal with this situation. As a result, teachers and parents of the institution developed strategies to deal with these situations. In conclusion, we could point out that systematizing the psychoeducation process made it possible to identify the main lessons learned by parents and therapists, and that the workshops were also a space in which a therapeutic effect was achieved.
