O constructo de Expresión de Emocións (EE) amosou un alto valor predictivo do curso de diferentes transtornos. A propia evolución do modelo trouxo consigo o desenvolvemento de novas aproximacións para medir as actitudes que os familiares amosan acerca dun paciente. Un deses métodos é a Percepción do Nivel de EE (EE). Neste estudo tratamos de ver a relación entre este percepción, o nivel de sintomatoloxía e os estilos de afrontamento nunha mostra de 75 pacientes con sintomatoloxía mixta ansioso–depresiva. Os resultados amosan unha clara relación entre percibir un familiar como crítico, con falta de apoio, irritábel e intrusivo e o nivel de sintomatoloxía, o uso de determinadas estratexias de afrontamento, e o tipo de familiar do que se trate, fundamentalmente nais. Os resultados son acordes con estudos previos realizados.
Expressed Emotion has proven to be a valuable predictor of the course of various psychiatric disorders. The development of the model brought new ways for measuring family attitudes. One of them is “Level of Expressed Emotion”, designed to measure the perception of EE. In this study we examined the relationship among LEE, symptomatology and coping strategies, in a sample of 75 clinically patients with anxiety and depressive symptomatology. Results showed a clear correlation between perceiving a relative as critical, intrusive, lack of emotional support and irritate and intensity of symptomatology, as well as with the use of specific use of coping strategies. When we examined the type of relative, mothers showed significant difference as being more intrusive than other kind of relative. Results are according with previous research.
