    El objetivo del estudio fue explorar las diferencias en el estado general de salud y psicopatología entre cuidadores principales y secundarios de pacientes con trastorno del com-portamiento alimentario. Se suministró una batería de cuestionarios a una muestra de 186 familiares (93 cuidadores principales y 93 secundarios). Los resultados indicaron que los cuidado-res principales presentaban peores valores en malestar psicológico, ansiedad, depresión, y síntomas psicopatológicos en comparación con el grupo de cuidadores secundarios. La fre-cuencia de sujetos (cuidadores primarios versus secundarios) que alcanzaron el punto de corte de gravedad psicopatológica (GSI del SCL-90-R) fue similar para ambos grupos. Aunque los dos grupos de cuidadores presentaban una prevalencia de psicopatología similar, los resultados sugieren que sobre todo los cuidadores primarios se encuentran en situación de riesgo para su salud mental general, ansiedad y depresión.

    The purpose of this work was to assess differences in general health and psychopathology between primary and secondary caregivers of patients with a diagnostic of eating disorder. A battery of questionnaires was administered to a sample of 186 family members (93 pri-mary caregivers and 93 secondary caregivers). Findings indicate that primary caregivers pre-sented worse scores in general health, anxiety, depression and psychopathological symptoms compared with secondary caregivers. The frequency of subjects (primary versus secondary caregivers) who reached the cut-off point in the SCL-90-R Global Severity Index (GSI) of psychopathology was similar for both groups. Even though the two caregiver groups presented similar prevalence of psychopathology, results suggest that mainly primary caregivers find themselves in a situation with risk for their general mental health, anxiety and depression.
