    El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar las diferencias entre una muestra clínica y una muestra control en las estrategias de afrontamiento ante la tristeza mediante el empleo del Inventario de Afrontamiento de la Depresión (Coping Inventory of Depresión, CID). La muestra total fue constituida por 491 estudiantes y 57 pacientes con diagnósticos heterogéneos. En comparación con la muestra control, los pacientes manifestaron emplear menos estrategias de afrontamiento y percibir una menor eficacia de las mismas. Asimismo, la muestra clínica mostró un menor uso de la reevaluación cognitiva, y un mayor empleo de medicación y expertos, así como una mayor búsqueda de apoyo social y de expresión emocional ante determinados síntomas depresivos y más estrategias de supresión cognitiva (ignorar) frente a sentimientos de ira o enfado. Además, comer para afrontar la tristeza estaba asociado en los pacientes con la búsqueda cognitiva de soluciones mientras que el uso de alcohol y otras drogas se asociaba con la falta de expresión emocional. Se analizan las implicaciones de los resultados para la optimización de intervenciones psicoterapéuticas.

    The aim of this study was to investigate differences between psychiatric outpatients (n=57) and normal subjects (n=491) in strategies to cope with depressed mood measured by means of the Coping Inventory of Depression (CID). Patients used less frequently than normal subjects coping strategies and they also perceived that their efforts were less effective to regulate their mood.

    Compared to normal subjects, psychiatric patients used less often cognitive reevaluation but used more social support and emotional expression to cope with certain depressive symptoms and more cognitive avoidance strategies to cope with anger symptoms related to depression. Furthermore, in the sample of patients, eating was associated with cognitive search of solutions whereas the use of alcohol and other drugs, to cope with sadness, was negatively related to emotional expression. We discuss the implications of these results for optimizing therapeutic interventions as well as to the broader area of affect regulation.
