RESUMEN
Actualmente, las pruebas empíricas relativas al comportamiento asertivo de los familiares cuidadores de pacientes con trastorno mental grave (TMG) y a los efectos relacioneados con su déficit son escasas. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la asertividad de 140 familiares cuidadores de 54 pacientes con TMG y la relación entre asertividad y salud física y psicológica. Se utilizó el "Inventario de aserción" (Gambrill y Richey, 1075), el «Inventario de ansiedad, de Beck» el "Inventario de depresión de Beck-II", la "Escala de estrés percibido" y el "Cuestionario de salud SF-36". El 77,15 de los familiares se comportaba de forma asertiva y no hubo diferencias significativas según las variables sociodemográficas. La asertividad estaba relacionada con la ansiedad, la depresión, el estrés percibido y la valoración global del estado de salud, así como con seis (de los ocho) aspectos evaluados por el SF-36. La falta de asertividad era un factor de riesgo para todas estas variables. Estos hallazgos apoyan la importancia de incluir el entrenamiento asertivo en el tratamiento de los familiares de pacientes con TMG
ABSTRACT
At present, empirical evidence is scarce related to assertive behavior of family caregivers of patients with severe mental illness (SMI) and to the effects related to their deficits. The aim of this study was to examine the assertiveness of 140 family caregivers of 94 patients with SMI, and to examine the relationship between assertiveness and physical and psychological health. The Assertion Inventory (Granbrill and Richey, 1975), the Beck Anxiety Inventory, the Beck Depression Inventory-II, the Perveived Stress Scale, and the Health Questionnaire SF-36 were used. 77,1% of the participants were assertive and there were no significant differences in base to socio-demographic variables. Assertiveness was related to anxiety, depression, stress, and general wellbeing as well as six (out of eight) areas assessed by the SF-36. The lack of assertiveness was a risk factor for all these variable. These findings support the importance of including assertiveness training in the treatment of the families of patients with SMI BY staff at mental health units
