Resumen

Los trastornos emocionales como la ansiedad, la depresión o las somatizaciones son los más frecuentes en la población mundial. En el caso concreto de los trastornos de ansiedad y por somatización la incidencia se sitúa en el 11 y 12%, respectivamente. La relación entre sendos trastornos ha sido ampliamente estudiada, mostrando la existencia de una relación bidireccional entre ambos. Sin embargo, los mecanismos que explican dicha interrelación todavía requieren de mayor estudio. El objetivo del presente trabajo es estudiar el rol mediador de las estrategias cognitivas de regulación emocional adaptativas y desadaptativas en la relación entre la ansiedad y los síntomas somáticos. Para ello, se ha utilizado una muestra de 1,730 participantes españoles. La muestra fue recogida mediante encuestas online dentro de un diseño observacional transversal. Para analizar los datos recogidos se plantean análisis correlacionales de las variables implicadas, así como tres modelos de mediación multivariable entre los síntomas de ansiedad (ansiedad generalizada, ansiedad cognitivo-afectiva o ansiedad somática), las estrategias cognitivas de regulación emocional adaptativas y desadaptativas, y los síntomas somáticos. Los resultados muestran que las estrategias de regulación emocional desadaptativas juegan un rol mediador solo entre la ansiedad de tipo somático y los síntomas somáticos, mientras que este efecto no se observó entre los síntomas de ansiedad generalizada y ansiedad cognitiva. Se debaten las implicaciones clínicas a la hora de abordar los trastornos de ansiedad y las somatizaciones.
