Abstract

Objective

Families of individuals with hoarding symptoms report substantial burden; however, there has been no investigation of potential positive experiences. The objective of this study was to examine the experiences reported by individuals with a relative with elevated hoarding symptoms using a cross-sectional design. The current investigation expands on the literature in this area by incorporating a detailed interview of experiences in conjunction with validated measures of hoarding symptomology.

Methods

Twenty-nine adults with relatives with elevated hoarding symptoms completed self-report measures of hoarding severity for themselves and their relative and a clinician-administered assessment of their experiences with their family member with hoarding symptoms.

Results

Participants endorsed significant burden across a range of areas, including permanent changes in their daily routine. The majority (93%) of participants reported at least one positive experience, with 69% endorsing companionship as a benefit of the relationship. Greater symptom severity of the relative with hoarding symptoms was associated with greater subjective burden and decreased positive experiences.

Conclusion

Our results add further evidence to the potential for interpersonal psychotherapy to lead to a reduction in hoarding symptomology.

对有囤积行为者亲属的客观和主观体验的初步调查。

目的：据报告，有囤积症状的人的家庭承受着巨大的负担；然而，却没有对潜在的积极体验进行调查。本研究的目的是采用横断面设计，调查有亲属囤积症状加重的人所报告的经历。本次调查将详细的经历访谈与经过验证的囤积症状测量方法结合起来，从而扩展了这一领域的文献：29名有亲属有严重囤积症状的成年人完成了对自己和亲属囤积严重程度的自我报告测量，以及由临床医生对他们与有囤积症状的家庭成员的经历进行的评估：结果：参与者认为自己在各方面都承受着巨大的负担，包括日常生活的永久性改变。大多数参与者（93%）都报告了至少一次积极的经历，其中 69% 的人认为陪伴是这种关系带来的好处。有囤积症状的亲属症状严重程度越高，主观负担越重，积极体验越少：我们的研究结果进一步证明，人际心理治疗有可能减轻囤积症状。
