“…7,15 More broadly, unawareness of social and emotional functioning is associated with poor treatment outcome and high burdens on caregivers. 15 The SEQ is an instrument that has been shown to be sensitive to social and emotional unawareness in relation to some diseases, including dementia. 15 The objective of this study was to culturally adapt the SEQ for the Brazilian population, while maintaining the original concept of the instrument and taking the distinct aspects of cultural and language into consideration.…”

“…11 Nelis et al 7 conducted the first validation study on the SEQ among people with dementia. Varimax rotation yielded three interpretable solutions: the 11-item emotional recognition and empathy (ERE) domain (3,5,8,9,11,12,15,18,20,23,30), the 7-item social relationship (SR) domain (16,17,19,25,26,28,29) and the 6-item prosocial behavior (PB) domain (2,4,6,10,13,22). There were small but significant differences between self-ratings and caregivers' ratings for all the domains: ERE: …”

“…11 The items that loaded most highly in each factor were used to form five subscales: emotion recognition (5,8,12,18,23); empathy (3,9,15,20,30); social conformity (11,14,25); antisocial behavior (1,6,13,24); and sociability (4,16,17,19,21,27,29). The total score for the patient version of the SEQ had good correlation with the patients' total score on the Patient Competency Rating Scale (PCRS) (P = 0.01) and the total score for the proxy version had strong correlation with the proxy-version total score of PCRS (P < 0.01).…”

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Impairments in social and emotional functioning may affect the communication skills and interpersonal relationships of people with dementia and their caregivers. This study had the aim of presenting the steps involved in the cross-cultural adaptation of the Social and Emotional Questionnaire (SEQ) for the Brazilian population. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-cultural adaptation study, conducted at the Center for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders in a public university. METHODS:The process adopted in this study required six consecutive steps: initial translation, translation synthesis, back translation, committee of judges, pretesting of final version and submission to the original author. RESULTS: In general, the items had semantic, idiomatic, conceptual and experiential equivalence. During the first pretest, people with dementia and their caregivers had difficulties in understanding some items relating to social skills, which were interpreted ambiguously. New changes were made to allow better adjustment to the target population and, following this, a new pretest was performed. This pre-test showed that the changes were relevant and gave rise to the final version of the instrument. There was no correlation between education level and performance in the questionnaire, among people with dementia (P = 0.951). CONCLUSION:The Brazilian Portuguese version of the Social and Emotional Questionnaire was well understood and, despite the cultural and linguistic differences, the constructs of the original version were maintained.

In keeping with the adult literature, cross-sectional studies of children and adolescents consistently report associations with eating pathology. There is some evidence from prospective studies that insecure attachment may be a risk factor for the development of eating pathology in adolescence. The literature on mentalization and eating pathology suggests that adolescents with anorexia nervosa may have difficulties in recognizing emotions. Further research using clinical samples and well-validated measures of attachment and mentalization are required to shed further light on this area.

Objective: In psychiatry, the presence of residual symptoms after treatment is linked to the definitions of remission and recovery. To identify the presence of residual eating disorder (ED) symptoms and associated non-ED clinical features in remitted and recovered EDs, the current systematic review with meta-analysis was performed.Method: A systematic review was conducted on residual ED symptoms and non-ED clinical features including comorbid psychopathology, neurophysiological functioning, cognitive functioning, and quality of life in ED patients considered remitted or recovered. To examine residual ED symptoms, meta-analyses were performed while considering age, study quality, remission, and recovery criteria strictness as moderators.Sensitivity, publication bias, and heterogeneity analyses were also conducted. Results: The 64 studies selected for the systematic review underscored the presence of residual ED symptoms in anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN), and impairments and deficits in the additional features examined. From the 64 studies, 31 were selected regarding residual ED symptoms in AN for meta-analysis. Large effect sizes indicated that remitted/recovered AN patients reported significantly lower body mass index (Hedges' g = −0.62[−0.77, −0.46]) and significantly greater symptomatology in terms of ED examination-questionnaire (Hedges'g = 0.86 [0.48,1.23]) and ED inventory (Hedges' g = 0.94[0.64,1.24]) than healthy controls, independently of remission and recovery criteria strictness, age, and study quality. Discussion: The presence of residual ED symptoms in AN is quantitatively supported, whereas the presence of residual ED symptoms in BN should be further investigated. Data on binge-eating disorder are missing. Future research should use consistent, multicomponent, and standardized comparable indicators of recovery. ResumenObjetivo: En psiquiatría, la presencia de síntomas residuales después de tratamiento está ligado a las definiciones de remisión y recuperación. Para identificar la presencia de síntomas residuales del trastorno de la conducta alimentaria (TCA) y características clínicas no de TCA asociadas en pacientes remitidos y recuperados de TCAs, se realizó la presente revisión sistemática con meta-análisis.

Empathy and social functioning in anorexia nervosa before and after recovery

Abstract: These results suggest that emotional empathy is reduced during acute AN. Lower levels of antisocial behaviour may reflect a contrasting desire of people with AN to minimise presentation of antisocial behaviour in the acute state.
