Este artículo tiene como objetivo visibilizar vivencias sobre el daño cerebral adquirido (DCA) y la discapacidad cognitiva en Costa Rica, realizando un análisis de narrativas. Se llevaron a cabo entrevistas semiestructuradas a dos personas con DCA, una persona familiar y una persona profesional que trabaja con personas con DCA. A partir de un análisis fenomenológico se extrajeron las categorías: (1) disrupción biográfica; (2) disrupción ontológica desde el sistema familiar y laboral; (3) disrupción social desde las barreras y límites del entorno, incluyendo repercusiones de la pandemia por COVID-19; y (4) la resignificación como metaperspectiva de nuevos significados de la experiencia. Las narrativas recopiladas muestran los múltiples cambios que las personas suelen enfrentar en su reintegración al mundo social, con la particularidad de su vivencia en un país latinoamericano, caracterizado por un tejido vincular proximal y características sociosanitarias diferentes a otras latitudes.Se discute la importancia del acercamiento narrativo para rescatar resignificaciones de la identidad, así como su función de conexión y sentido en la construcción de andamiajes socioemocionales y psicosociales.
This article aims to make visible experiences about acquired brain injury (ABI) and cognitive disability in Costa Rica by analyzing narratives of the life distribution caused by brain damage. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with two persons with ACD, a family member and a professional who works with people with ABI. From a phenomenological analysis, four categories were selected: (1) biographical disruption; (2) ontological disruption in the family and work system; (3) social disruption in environmental limits and barriers, including repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic; and (4) the resignification as a metaperspective or attribution of new meanings to the experience. The compiled narratives show the multiple changes that persons with ABI usually face in their reintegration into society, with the particularity of their experience in a Latin American country, which is characterized by a proximal link and socio-sanitary characteristics that are different from other study samples in other latitudes.The importance of the narrative approach to rescue the experiences and the resignification process for the reconstruction of identity is discussed, as well as the role of this narrative mediation as a gear of connection and meaning, in the construction of socio-emotional and psychosocial scaffolding.
