Abstract

Introduction: Expressed emotion (EE) is a global index of attitudes, emotions, and behaviors of relatives who have family members with a mental or psychiatric disorder. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to study EE in relatives and patients’ perceived EE in a borderline personality disorder (BPD) outpatient sample. Methods: The sample was composed of 134 relatives and 111 BPD outpatients who were receiving psychological treatment. Relevant clinical outcomes, number of medical visits, EE in relatives and perceived EE in BPD patients were measured. Subsequently, descriptive statistical analyses, dependent-samples t tests, and correlation analyses were performed. Results: Relatives' EE was not significantly different than patients' perceived EE. Expressed emotion factors were weakly associated to emergency department visits and hospital admissions. Discussion: Contrary to EE studies in other diagnoses, results show that the BPD patients' emotional climate in their proximate relationships might not influence health care use.

边缘型人格障碍患者及其亲属的情绪表达与保健使用

表达情感(EE)是一种全球性的态度、情绪和行为指数，反映的是有精神或精神障碍家庭成员的亲属。本横断面研究的目的是研究边缘型人格障碍(BPD)门诊样本中亲属的情感表达和患者感知的情感表达。方法:以134名亲属和111名门诊接受心理治疗的BPD患者为研究对象。测量相关临床结果、就诊次数、亲属情感表达和BPD患者的感知情感表达。随后进行描述性统计分析、相关样本t检验和相关分析。结果:亲属情感表达与患者感知情感表达无显著差异。表达情绪因素与急诊科就诊和住院率呈弱相关。讨论:与其他诊断的情感表达研究相反，结果表明，BPD患者在其亲密关系中的情绪气候可能不会影响医疗保健的使用。

期刊介绍： This journal is devoted to the application of theory and research from social psychology toward the better understanding of human adaptation and adjustment, including both the alleviation of psychological problems and distress (e.g., psychopathology) and the enhancement of psychological well-being among the psychologically healthy. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) traditionally defined psychopathology (e.g., depression), common emotional and behavioral problems in living (e.g., conflicts in close relationships), the enhancement of subjective well-being, and the processes of psychological change in everyday life (e.g., self-regulation) and professional settings (e.g., psychotherapy and counseling). Articles reporting the results of theory-driven empirical research are given priority, but theoretical articles, review articles, clinical case studies, and essays on professional issues are also welcome. Articles describing the development of new scales (personality or otherwise) or the revision of existing scales are not appropriate for this journal.
