RESUMEN
ANTECENTES Impulsividad y asertividad son dos de los rasgos más estudiados en los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA), aunque la impulsividad no ha sido suficientemente caracterizada y la evidencia en cuanto a asertividad es insuficiente.

OBJETIVO:

Analizar niveles de impulsividad y asertividad en mujeres con y sin TCA.

MÉTODO:

Se llevó a cabo un estudio analítico transversal, con muestreo no probabilístico en pacientes de sexo femenino con TCA, contrastándolas con mujeres controles sin TCA. Se aplicaron el Test de Actitudes Alimentarias (EAT-40), las escalas de Barratt (BIS) y de Rathus (RAS) a 42 sujetos controles y 42 con TCA.

RESULTADOS:

No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre grupos en cuanto a características sociodemográficas. El puntaje del EAT-40 fue mayor en las pacientes con TCA (p=0,000). No hubo diferencias significativas en RAS total, excepto en las subescalas R1 (p= 0,004) y R3 (p=0,035). El puntaje BIS total también tuvo diferencias significativas (p=0,003) así como las subescalas de Impulsividad Cognitiva (IC) (p=0,000) y de Impulsividad Motora (IM) (p=0,0032). Hubo correlación positiva, estadísticamente significativa entre los puntajes totales del EAT-40 y RAS, y las subescalas R1 y R2, y negativa entre EAT-40 y BIS, y las subescalas IC e IM.

CONCLUSIONES:

Las pacientes con TCA presentan niveles más elevados de impulsividad y más bajos de asertividad.
ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Impulsivity and assertiveness are two of the most studied features in eating disorders (ED), although impulsivity has not been sufficiently characterized and the evidence regarding assertiveness is scarce.

OBJECTIVE:

To analyse levels of impulsivity and assertiveness in women with and without ED.

METHOD:

A cross-sectional analytical study, with non-probabilistic sampling in female patients with ED was carried out, contrasting them with women without ED as controls. The Eating Attitude Test (EAT-40), the Barratt (BIS) and Rathus (RAS) scales were applied to 42 control subjects and 42 patients with ED.

RESULTS:

There were no statistically significant differences between groups in terms of sociodemographic characteristics. EAT-40 scores were higher in eating disordered patients (p = 0.000). There were no statistically significant differences between groups in total RAS scores, except for R1 (p = 0.004) and R3 (p = 0.035) subscales. Total BIS score also had statistically significant differences (p = 0.003) as well as Cognitive Impulsivity (CI) (p = 0.000) and Motor Impulsivity (IM) subscales (p = 0.0032). There was a statistically significant positive correlation between total scores of EAT-40 and RAS, and R1 and R2 subscales, and a statistically significant negative one between EAT-40 and BIS, and IC and IM subscales.

CONCLUSIONS:

Patients with ED have higher levels of impulsivity and lower levels of assertiveness.
