    Los trastornos alimentarios no solo afectan a la persona que los sufre sino también a sus familiares. La literatura señala que es frecuente que los familiares de estas pacientes presenten una elevada percepción de carga, malestar emocional y acomodación al síntoma. Estas variables se han relacionado con el pronóstico y evolución de estas pacientes. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar y describir la acomodación a la enfermedad, la percepción de carga y el malestar emocional en 93 familiares de pacientes diagnosticados con un trastorno alimentario, así como analizar las relaciones entre estas variables. Los resultados mostraron diferencias significativas entre hombres y mujeres en la percepción de carga, la acomodación y el malestar emocional, presentando las familiares mujeres mayores puntuaciones en estas variables. Estas variables presentaron relaciones positivas y significativas entre ellas. El aislamiento social predijo un 46.5% de la varianza del malestar emocional de los cuidadores. Estos resultados sugieren la importancia de apoyar a los familiares y diseñar intervenciones específicas para ellos.

    Eating disorders (ED) not only affect the person who suffers but also their family members. The literature indicates that the relatives of these patients frequently have a high perception of burden, emotional distress and accommodation to the symptom. These variables have been related to the prognosis and evolution of these patients. The objective of the present work was to evaluate and describe the accommodation to the disease, the perception of burden and emotional distress in 93 relatives of ED patients, as well as to analyze the relationships between these variables. The results showed significant differences between men and women in burden perception, accommodation and emotional distress, female relatives showed higher scores on these variables. These variables showed positive and significant relationships among them. Social isolation predicted 46.5% of the variance of the emotional distress of the caregivers. These results suggest the importance of supporting family members and designing specific interventions for them.
