Get PDFLa presente investigaci贸n tuvo como objetivo comparar los niveles de alexitimia seg煤n la severidad de la sintomatolog铆a depresiva en un grupo de pacientes con depresi贸n. Adem谩s, se busc贸 comparar los diferentes grados de sintomatolog铆a depresiva entre s铆, comparar los tres factores de la alexitimia seg煤n la intensidad de la sintomatolog铆a depresiva y comparar los niveles de alexitimia seg煤n los datos sociodemogr谩ficos. Para dicho fin, se aplic贸 a 51 pacientes el Inventario de Depresi贸n de Beck (BDI-II) y Escala de Alexitimia de Toronto (TAS-20). Se encontr贸 una alta correlaci贸n entre depresi贸n y alexitimia, donde los pacientes con mayor severidad de sintomatolog铆a depresiva presentaron niveles m谩s altos de alexitimia. Los factores 1 y 2 del TAS-20 presentaron puntuaciones mayores, mas no se observ贸 una relaci贸n con el factor 3. Los resultados sugieren que los pacientes con mayor severidad de sintomatolog铆a depresiva, tienden a puntuar m谩s alto en la escala de alexitimia debido a las dificultades en la identificaci贸n y verbalizaci贸n de las emociones que se encuentran en ambas, adem谩s de una tendencia a somatizar todo aquello que no entienden ni pueden expresar.The aim of present study was to compare the levels of alexithymia according to the severity of depressive symptoms in a group of depressed patients. Furthermore, the other aims were to compare the different degrees of depressive symptomatology among themselves, compare the three factors of alexithymia according to the intensity of depressive symptoms and compare the levels of alexithymia with sociodemographic data. 51 patients with depression were assessed using Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) and Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20). Significant correlations were found between depression and alexithymia, where patients with more severe depressive symptoms had higher levels of alexithymia. Factors 1 and 2 had higher scores, but a relationship with factor 3 was not found. The present findings suggest that patients with more severe depressive symptoms tended to score higher on the TAS-20 due to the difficulties in identifying and verbalizing emotions, along with a tendency to somatize anything that they cannot understand or express..Tesi
