Family members tend to modify their routine by assisting or participating in the patient's rituals. These behaviors have been identified as family accommodation (FA).
The aim of this study was to describe the relationship between family accommodation of relatives of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) patients and their perceptions about the obsessions and compulsions of the patient.
This was a cross-sectional study with family members of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in a Southern Brazilian city. The family perception of the OCD symptoms and their accommodation were assessed through the Family Accommodation Scale for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder - Interviewer-Rated (FAS-IR).
The level of family accommodation was higher in those family members who lived with the patient when compared to those who did not live with them ( = .011). The obsessions associated with higher levels of family accommodation were: contamination ( < .001), hoarding/saving ( = .001), symmetry/exactness ( = .001), religious ( = .019), and diverse ( = .003). Regarding compulsions, the perception of all symptoms was associated with higher levels of family accommodation ( < .05).
The family accommodation is present in family members of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder patients, regardless of the type of obsessive/compulsive symptom perceived.
家庭成员往往通过协助或参与患者的仪式来改变自己的日常生活习惯。这些行为被定义为家庭迁就（FA）。
本研究旨在描述强迫症（OCD）患者亲属的家庭迁就与其对患者强迫观念和强迫行为的看法之间的关系。
这是一项在巴西南部城市进行的强迫症患者亲属的横断面研究。通过强迫症家庭迁就量表-访谈者评定版（FAS-IR）评估家庭对 OCD 症状的认知和家庭迁就程度。
与不与患者同住的家庭成员相比，与患者同住的家庭成员的家庭迁就程度更高（ = .011）。与更高水平的家庭迁就相关的强迫观念包括：污染（ < .001）、囤积/保存（ = .001）、对称/精确（ = .001）、宗教（ = .019）和多样化（ = .003）。关于强迫行为，所有症状的感知都与更高水平的家庭迁就相关（ < .05）。
无论感知到哪种强迫症状，强迫症患者的家庭成员中都存在家庭迁就现象。
