ABSTRACT

Introduction: Skin and fat excess on the abdomen, flanks and gluteal ptosis are usual alterations in patients after massive weight loss induced by bariatric surgery, and poor quality of life should be considered in such circumstances. Objective: To evaluate the modifications on the quality of life of patients that underwent circumferential abdominoplasty on affective/relational and professional aspects. Method: Sixteen female patients that underwent circumferential abdominoplasty were submitted to semi-directed psychological interviews. One used the Operational Adaptive Diagnostic Scale (OADS) and observing the adaptive patterns as the main criterion, the answers were classified. Through grades attributed to each answer, it was possible to evaluate quantitatively and to establish a classification of the patients relative to their adaptive adequacy. Results: On the aspect affective/relational, ten (62.5%) patients presented fairly adequate answers. On the productivity aspect, 10 (62.5%) patients presented fairly adequate answers. Seven (43.75%) patients presented effective adaptation and six (37.5%) slightly ineffective. Conclusion: The qualitatively and quantitatively analysis made through OADS showed that there was effective benefit to the patients submitted to circumferential abdominoplasty so on affective/relational and productivity aspects, as in the improvement of the quality of life.

RESUMO

Introdução: Excessos dermogordurosos em abdome, flancos e ptose glútea são alterações frequentes nos pacientes após intensa perda de peso induzida pela cirurgia bariátrica, e a piora da qualidade de vida deveria ser considerada em algumas circunstâncias. Objetivo: Avaliar as alterações na qualidade de vida dos pacientes submetidos a abdominoplastia circunferencial, nos aspectos afetivo-relacional e produtividade. Método: Dezesseis pacientes submetidos a abdominoplastia circunferencial foram submetidas a entrevistas psicológicas semidirigidas. Utilizando-se a Escala Diagnóstica Adaptativa Operacionalizada (EDAO), e tendo como princípio norteador o critério adaptativo, as respostas foram classificadas. Por meio de notas atribuídas a cada resposta, foi possível a avaliação quantitativa e a classificação diagnóstica das pacientes quanto à adequação. Resultados: No setor afetivo-relacional, dez (62,5%) pacientes apresentaram respostas adequadas. No setor produtividade, dez (62,5%) pacientes apresentaram respostas adequadas. Sete (43,75%) pacientes apresentaram adaptação eficaz e seis (37,5%), ineficaz leve. Conclusão: As análises, qualitativas e quantitativas, concluíram que houve benefício efetivo aos pacientes submetidos a abdominoplastia circunferencial, tanto nos aspectos afetivo-relacional e produtividade, quanto na melhora da qualidade de vida.
