Amputation is seen as a big physical loss, which causes so many complications
to the person who suffers it. However, this event affects not only on a physical
level, but also on a psychologically. Currently there are different physical and
psychological therapies, aids and grants for these people. The only
disadvantage is that there are no programs that incorporate the two kinds of
therapies and that help in a holistically.
For that reason, the aim of this research project is to evaluate the satisfaction
obtained and the improvement of the quality of life of the amputees of a lower
member who attend a social support group, where different group therapies will
be given and information on different topics of interest will be provided.
A transversal study of mixed research design will be carried out on a sample of
amputees from a lower member belonging to the province of Girona and who
have been treated at the Dr. Josep Trueta hospital, in the amputation procedure
during the years 2015 and 2020. As a study tool, a Likert survey and the
validated WHOQOL-BREF scale will be used as a quantitative methodology,
followed by semi-structured interviews, as a qualitative methodology. Variables
such as sex, age, level of amputation of the lower limb and years with the
amputation will be studied, among others. Then, the responses will be analyzed
and the quantitative and qualitative results managed by the programs SPSS
(Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) and ATLAS.ti will be compared.
Subsequently, they will be used in a complementary way to obtain objective
conclusions but with nuances that help us understand the results
