The study sample consisted of a single 59-year-old female patient, a widow who had undergone lower limb amputation (leg) due to diabetes and was admitted to Ahmed Madghari Hospital – Ain Temouchent. We employed a clinical approach using clinical interviews and clinical observation, as well as the Davidson Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Scale and the Psychological Resilience Scale (PRS) We concluded that the patient was suffering from psychological distress resulting from the trauma of amputation. The outcome was the emergence of depressive disorder, as the amputation affected her psychological resilience and left her with post-traumatic symptoms of avoidance, re-experiencing and arousal, as well as a range of behavioural, physical, cognitive and emotional symptoms due to the extent of (physical disability). She also suffers from feelings of inadequacy and grief associated with the loss, which has led to a failure to adapt to her new reality characterised by reduced physical abilities, resulting in a diminished capacity to perform daily functions and activities.otherpost-traumatic stress disorderpsychological resiliencelimb amputationdiabetic patientsThesis
