Abstract
Desde 1990, la obesidad se ha más que duplicado entre los adultos y se ha cuadruplicado entre niños y adolescentes. Objetivo: Determinar cómo se percibe el bienestar psicológico y los factores asociados en pacientes candidatos a cirugía bariátrica. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, no experimental, tipo descriptivo correlacional, con una muestra de 213 pacientes. Resultados: La investigación revela que una proporción significativa de los pacientes candidatos a cirugía bariátrica experimenta un bienestar psicológico negativo, con una mayor prevalencia entre las mujeres. Se encontró una asociación importante entre el bienestar psicológico, la comorbilidad y los grados de obesidad y destaca que la Diabetes y la Hipertensión afectan negativamente la salud mental, especialmente en pacientes jóvenes y aquellos con obesidad grado I. Estos hallazgos subrayan la necesidad de estrategias integrales de evaluación y tratamiento psicológico. Conclusiones: La investigación indica que la cirugía bariátrica es más solicitada por mujeres de 28 a 38 años. Además, el bienestar psicológico es alarmante, ya que el 50.7% reporta un estado negativo y el 52.1% percibe su situación emocional como desfavorable, junto con altos niveles de ansiedad, depresión y conductas alimentarias negativas.
