The aim of the study was to compare the Camberwell Family Interview (CFI) and the Expressed Emotion Scale (EES) in determining the level of expressed emotion in caregivers of patients with schizophrenia.
The study sample included caregivers of 22 schizophrenic patients followed in two psychiatric clinics. The level of expressed emotion in the caregivers was assessed by the CFI and the EES. CFI was applied to caregivers of the inpatients and the procedure was audio recorded. These records were later used for the ratings. EES was completed by the caregivers. Total EES scores were used to determine the level of expressed emotion in the caregivers.
Forty point nine percent and 50% of the caregivers had high level of expressed emotion based on the analysis of the data obtained from the CFI and EES. Fifty-nine percent and 50% of the caregivers had low level of expressed emotion based on the data obtained from the CFI and EES. The proportion of the caregivers with high level of expressed emotion as measured by the CFI and the EES were not statistically significantly different within the sample (χ= 0.727).
The CFI and the EES were similar in determining the level of expressed emotion in caregivers of schizophrenic patients. It can be suggested that the EES, a user friendly tool, may be preferred to determine the level of expressed emotion in caregivers of patients with schizophrenia. However, further studies with larger samples are needed to obtain more reliable results.
本研究旨在比较坎伯韦尔家庭访谈（CFI）和情感表达量表（EES）在确定精神分裂症患者照料者情感表达水平方面的作用。
研究样本包括在两家精神病诊所随访的22名精神分裂症患者的照料者。通过CFI和EES评估照料者的情感表达水平。CFI应用于住院患者的照料者，过程进行了音频记录。这些记录后来用于评分。EES由照料者完成。EES总分用于确定照料者的情感表达水平。
根据CFI和EES获得的数据进行分析，分别有40.9%和50%的照料者情感表达水平较高。根据CFI和EES获得的数据，分别有59%和50%的照料者情感表达水平较低。在样本中，CFI和EES所测量的情感表达水平较高的照料者比例在统计学上无显著差异（χ=0.727）。
CFI和EES在确定精神分裂症患者照料者的情感表达水平方面相似。可以认为，EES作为一种用户友好型工具，在确定精神分裂症患者照料者的情感表达水平时可能更受青睐。然而，需要进行更大样本量的进一步研究以获得更可靠的结果。
