RESUMEN
Resumen. Introducción. Gran parte de la investigación actual en el campo de la esquizofrenia se ha dirigido a comprender sus mecanismos etiológicos y a la detección de marcadores de vulnerabilidad en personas con riesgo de padecer el trastorno. Esta vulnerabilidad, denominada esquizotipia, puede identificarse en personas que no estén clínicamente afectadas. Objetivo. Comprobar si el trastorno esquizotípico de la personalidad como marcador de vulnerabilidad de los trastornos del espectro esquizofrénico predice la presencia de síntomas psicopatológicos y el consumo de alcohol y drogas. Sujetos y métodos. De una población de 442 estudiantes universitarios a los que se aplicó el cuestionario de personalidad esquizotípica, se seleccionó una muestra que incluyó el 20% superior e inferior de las puntuaciones en los factores que corresponden a síntomas positivos (cognitivo- perceptual), síntomas negativos (interpersonal) y trastorno del pensamiento (desorganizado) característicos de la esquizofrenia. Además, se evaluó la presencia de problemas y síntomas psicopatológicos y la información sobre consumo de alcohol y drogas como una estrategia de afrontamiento pasiva ante el estrés. Resultados. Los sujetos altos en trastorno esquizotípico de la personalidad, comparados con los bajos, muestran significativamente mayor presencia de problemas y síntomas psicopatológicos y mayor consumo de alcohol y drogas, principalmente en los síntomas asociados al trastorno del pensamiento y a los síntomas negativos, como el retraimiento y el aplanamiento emocional. Conclusiones. El trastorno esquizotípico de personalidad, con el apoyo de su consideración como vulnerabilidad, parece ir acompañado de un mayor volumen de síntomas, tanto somáticos como psicopatológicos, y por un mayor consumo de alcohol y drogas (AU)
ABSTRACT
Summary. Introduction. A large amount of current schizophrenia research has been centered on the understanding of its etiological mechanisms and the detection of vulnerability markers in people at risk. This vulnerability called schizotypy can be identified in people not affected by the illness at the clinical level. Aim. To check if the schizotypic personality disorder as a vulnerability marker of the disorders in the schizophrenic spectrum predicts the presence of psychopathologic symptoms and alcohol and drugs intake. Subjects and methods. From a population of 442 university students tested with the Schizotypy Personality Questionnaire (SPQ), it was selected a sample including people scoring on the 20% superior and inferior for the characteristic factors of schizophrenia corresponding to positive symptoms (cognitive-perceptual), negative symptoms (interpersonal) and thought disorder (disorganized). Furthermore, it was evaluated the presence of psychopathological problems and symptoms. Also, the participants gave information about alcohol and drugs intake as a passive coping strategy with stress. Results. Compared with the low scored, subjects with high scores in the schizotypic personality disorder showed a significant increase in the presence of psychopathological problems and symptoms and a higher alcohol and drugs intake. That occurs mainly when those scores are found in symptoms associated to thought disorder and negative symptoms as lack of interest in social activities and emotional flattening. Conclusions. The schizotypic personality disorder, in accordance with its role as vulnerability factor, seems to co-occur with a higher volume of somatic and psychopathologic symptoms, and alcohol and drugs intake(AU)
