Summary:In this simple case study, it was aimed at providing psychological support to an elderly patient with a diagnosis of Type II Diabetes Mellitus and Grade III Diabetic Foot, in coping with supracondylar amputation. At the end of the treatment plan, it was evident in the patient: (1) increase in adherence to treatment, their health behaviors and their active role in the recovery process, (2) decrease in irritability and depressive symptomatology, (3) increase in the perception of control and use of internal / external resources, (4) decrease in the perception of pain intensity and increase in their ability to modulate pain and (5) increase in the participation of their family group and commitment in promoting the patient's quality of life. También se aplicó una batería de pruebas compuesta por el Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) (Folstein y Cols, 1975), el Test del dibujo del reloj (TR) (Freedman et al.,1994; Tuokko, 1990; Cacho, García-García, Arcaya, Vicente y Lantada, 1999), la Escala de depresión geriátrica (SDG-15) (Sheikh & Yesavage, 1986; Bacca, González & Uribe, 2005) y el Índice de Calidad de vida (QLI-sp) (Mezzich, 2000). Así mismo, respecto al TR, complementario en la valoración del estado cognitivo, se encontraron puntuaciones de 3 en el Test de reloj a la orden (TRO) y de 7 en el Test del reloj a la copia (TRC), lo que se considera una puntuación positiva para el deterioro asociado al Trastorno Neurocognitivo Mayor tipo Alzheimer.
