Abstract
El objetivo de la siguiente investigación fue evaluar las dimensiones del patrón de conducta Tipo C y su relación con la
cognición hacia la enfermedad en 58 pacientes colostomizados, diagnosticados de cáncer colorrectal, de ambos sexos, seis
meses después del tratamiento médico-quirúrgico. Como instrumentos de medida se utilizaron tres de las escalas del Cuestionario
de Patrón de Conducta Tipo C (López Martínez, Ramírez Maestre, Esteve Zarazaga & Anarte, 2002) y el Cuestionario de
Cognición hacia la Enfermedad (ICQ), adaptado a partir de la versión holandesa de Evers et al. (2001). La fiabilidad de ambos
cuestionarios, a partir del cálculo del coeficiente alpha, arroja resultados satisfactorios en ambos casos. Los resultados indican que
existe una clara relación entre las respuestas a ambos instrumentos: concretamente, puntuaciones elevadas en Racionalidad se
asocian a una mayor capacidad por parte de los pacientes para adaptarse a su enfermedad; por el contrario, puntuaciones
elevadas en Comprensión y Represión emocional están asociadas a mayores dificultades para aceptar el estado de salud.
The aim of the following study was to evaluate the dimensions of the type C behavior pattern, and its relation with the cognition towards disease, in 58 diagnosed colostomized patients with colorectal cancer, of both sexes, 6 months after the surgical treatment. As measurement instruments were used three of the scales of the Questionnaire of Type C Behavior Pattern (López Martínez, Ramírez Maestre, Esteve Zarazaga & Anarte, 2002) and the Questionnaire of Cognition towards disease (ICQ), adapted from the Dutch version by Evers et al. (2001). The reliability of both questionnaires, from the calculation of alpha coefficient, throws satisfactory results in both cases. The results show that a clear relation between the answers to both instruments exists. Concretely, elevated scores in Rationality are associated to a greater capacity on the part of the patients to adapt to their disease; contrary, scores elevated in Understanding and Emotional Repression are associated to greater difficulties in order to accept the health state.
