Abstract
El trabajo ofrece una revisión actualizada de las principales con-
tribuciones de la Medicina Psicosomática a la medicina clínica y preventiva.
Su contenido se basa en los resultados de revisiones sistemáticas, meta-
análisis y estudios controlados. La evidencia acumulada indica que la pers-
pectiva psicosomática podría contribuir significativamente a mejorar los re-
sultados de la atención sanitaria, mediante una práctica clínica holística, la
evaluación de los factores psicosociales implicados en la vulnerabilidad in-
dividual y la integración de intervenciones psicológicas en medicina. Dicha
evidencia constituye el terreno ideal para afrontar necesidades emergentes
en sanidad, como la gestión de enfermedades crónicas y de síntomas inex-
plicables, el paciente como productor activo de salud, la prevención tem-
prana y una valoración de resultados que supere el reduccionismo biomédi-
co.
This paper provides an updated review of the main contribu- tions of Psychosomatic Medicine to clinical and preventive medicine. Meta- analyses, comprehensive reviews and controlled studies were selected. Cur- rent advances in the field indicate that health care can be improved by us- ing a psychosomatic approach that takes into account psychosocial factors affecting individual vulnerability, the holistic consideration of patient care, and the integration of psychological interventions in medicine. Consolidat- ed evidence in Psychosomatic Medicine provides the ideal background for dealing with new needs emerging in medical practice, including chronic ill- ness management, somatic unexplained symptoms, the shift in the role of patients from health consumers to actively health producers, primary early- life prevention, and the appraisal of health outcomes beyond the biomedi- cal reductionism.
