Resumen

Antecedentes/Objetivo Las intrusiones mentales no deseadas (IM) son la variante normativa de obsesiones en el Trastorno Obsesivo-Compulsivo (TOC), preocupaciones por defectos en el Trastorno Dismórfico Corporal (TDC), imágenes sobre enfermedad en Hipocondría (TH) y pensamientos sobre alimentación en los Trastornos Alimentarios (TA). El objetivo fue examinar similitudes y diferencias en las relaciones funcionales de los cuatro contenidos de IM, adoptando una perspectiva intra-sujeto. Método 438 estudiantes universitarios y participantes de la comunidad (Medad=29,84; DT=11,41; 70,54% mujeres) completaron el Inventario de Pensamientos Intrusos Desagradables, que evalúa las relaciones funcionales (emociones, valoraciones y estrategias de neutralización/control) de las IM más molestas con contenidos TOC, TDC, TH y TA. Resultados Las IM-TH evocaron más emociones negativas, las IM-TOC fueron las que más interfirieron y las IM-TA las que menos. Todas fueron igualmente egodistónicas. Las IM-TOC fueron las más disfuncionalmente valoradas por las mujeres, pero los hombres valoraron los cuatro contenidos de forma similar. Todas las IM promovieron la necesidad de “hacer algo” para controlarla/neutralizarla. Conclusiones Las similitudes en las relaciones funcionales de intrusiones relacionadas con contenidos del TOC, el TDC, el TH y los TA apoyan su naturaleza transdiagnóstica, pudiendo contribuir a la comprensión de los factores comunes entre esos trastornos.
