“…In Western countries, EE has been well accepted to be a generalized risk factor associated with caregiver stress in different mental health problems such as schizophrenia, depression and dementia [44]. For example, Tarrier et al [45] found high EE was associated with higher scores of caregiver distress and strain. In the Asian context, a Japanese study using the Camberwell Family Interview Schedule (CFI) [46] found that there was a tendency for lower expression of both positive and negative emotional reactions towards the family member with dementia [47].…”

Background/Aims: With an increasing life expectancy, the number of people suffering from dementia globally will rise to about 115.4 million by 2050. It is projected that in the 21st century, the majority of the world’s older people will be living in Asia. This paper examines the global issues of family caregiving for older persons with dementia from an Asian perspective. Methods: Literature review of published empirical studies from 1990 to October 2010. Results: A full understanding of the specific way that culture could influence family caregivers’ burdens may play an important part in the development of a holistic model for family-centered care. Well-designed psychoeducation interventions or multicomponent interventions could help in reducing caregivers’ burden. With socio-economical and demographical changes, families need to be supported when taking on the caregiving role and be offered alternatives of care. Conclusion: There is a need for future trials with more rigorous randomization and longitudinal follow-up to assess family caregiver burdens at different illness stages. Future studies could focus on protective factors that promote caregivers’ resilience. It is essential to develop psychometrically robust measures for family caregiver burden and gain.

“…It is difficult to say that they match exactly with the NAS's criticism and hostility; however, it is certain that the NAS captures aspects that are close to EE. There have been studies targeting families of dementia patients that investigated the relationship between EE and care burden and abuse 18,19,20,21 .…”

“…Así mismo, la literatura muestra que altos niveles de EE pueden provocar problemas del estado de ánimo en los cuidadores y se relaciona con una peor salud mental y mayor tensión en el cuidador (Scazufca y Kuipers, 1996;Terrier et al, 2002;Wagner, Logsdon y Pearson, 1997;Wearden, Tarrier, Barrowclouch, Zastowny y Rahill, 2000). En el caso de los TCA, los cuidadores con alta EE, a menudo tienen sentimientos de culpa con respecto a la enfermedad (Besharat, Eisler y Dare, 2001).…”

Resumen: El objetivo principal del presente estudio fue evaluar el nivel de emoción expresada y de malestar psicológico en cuidadores de pacientes con un trastorno de la conducta alimentaria, considerando las diferencias en función de las características sociodemográficas y clínicas. Participaron 53 cuidadores de pacientes con un trastorno de la conducta alimentaria que estaban siendo atendidas en la unidad de trastornos alimentarios del hospital de San Juan, Alicante. El 39.6% de los cuidadores fueron hombres y el 60.4% mujeres con edades comprendidas entre los 23 y los 69 años. El cuestionario utilizado para evaluar la emoción expresada fue el de Nivel de Emoción Expresada, (LEE) y para evaluar el malestar psicológico utilizamos la Escala de Ansiedad y Depresión Hospitalaria (HADS) y un cuestionario de salud general, (GHQ-12). Los resultados mostraron que no había diferencias estadísticamente significativas atendiendo al diagnóstico de la paciente, edad de los cuidadores y cuidadores primarios y secundarios, sin embargo se encontraron diferencias significativas en relación al género del cuidador, parentesco y al tiempo de evolución del problema. Además, los cuidadores con mayor emoción expresada presentaban más ansiedad y depresión que los cuidadores con menor emoción expresada.

Abstract: The main objective of this study was to evaluate the level of expressed emotion and psychological distress in caregivers of patients with an eating disorder, considering the differences in terms of sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Fifty-three caregivers of patients with an eating disorder participed. The 39.6% of caregivers were men and 60.4% women, aged between 23 and 69 years old. The questionnaire used to assess expressed emotion was the Spanish version of the Level of Expressed Emotion (LEE) and for assessing distress the Spanish version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HADS) and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). The results showed no statistically significant differences in expressed emotion in relation to the patient diagnosis and age of the caregivers. Significant differences were found regarding the type of relationship, the gender of the caregiver and illness duration; the caregivers with higher EE had more anxiety and depression than caregivers with lower EE.
