The CRQ 6.0 is an instrument of self-report that identifies the central pattern of a romantic relationship. It is based in the method denominated Core Conflictual Relationship Theme CCRT. Alternative measure to the CCRT ; the CRQ possess three components in its structure: Desire (D) ; Response from the Other (RO) and Response of Self (RS). The choice of the CRQ-6.0 for the study is supported by the absence of researches with pattern measuring instruments of relationship in Brazil. Being about a chronic disease ; the Hepatitis type C is becoming in the last few years one of the most serious problems in public health. Many studies related to the understanding of this pathology have been done with the objective of filling out gaps of this illness. The hepatitis type C is a disease attacked by the virus C ; causing an inflammation in the liver. Although it still remains with no cure ; medical treatments have helped the attempt of minimizing its damages. In another hand ; the medication pours a great amount of collateral effects that causes significant damages into the patient life ; such as ; psychopathological symptoms ; fatigue ; hopelessness ; and problems in the affective relations ; among others. Before that ; this study becomes relevant to this population ; searching for a broaden knowledge about the consequences occasioned by the diagnostic and proposing new ways of acting. To the studies of the psychometric properties of the CRQ 6.0 it was utilized the EAS-40 ; that has as objective evaluate symptoms ; as an extern criteria. The sample was composed by 101 individuals ; being 61 patients in ambulatory treatment ; diagnosed with hepatitis type C Chronic (G1) ; and 40 companions of the attended patients in other wards (G2). According to the results ; the CRQ-6.0 has presented good intern consistence ; being that the Alfa coefficients of Cronbach vary from 0.80 to 0.87 in its three components. There was negative correlation among some factors of EAS-40 and some components of CRQ 6.0. It was seen also significant differences in the component scores of the CRQ 6.0 and the EAS-40 between G1 and G2; among the G1 patients that take medication and the ones who don t and among the genders of G1. The results obtained show evidence of validity in the CRQ 6.0 and the instruments show being capable of distinguishing different population. Other studies become necessary to evaluate the psychometrical properties in other populations. / A presente pesquisa teve o objetivo de estudar as propriedades psicom?tricas do Central Relationship Questionnaire CRQ 6.0 com pacientes portadores de hepatite C cr?nica. O CRQ 6.0 ? um instrumento de auto-relato que identifica o padr?o central de relacionamento amoroso. ? baseado no m?todo denominado Core Conflictual Relationship Theme CCRT. Medida alternativa ao CCRT, o CRQ possui tr?s componentes em sua estrutura: Desejo (D), Resposta do Outro (RO) e Resposta do Eu (RE).

Por se tratar de uma doen?a cr?nica, a hepatite C vem se tornando nos ?ltimos anos como um dos mais graves problemas de sa?de p?blica. Diversos estudos ligados ao entendimento desta patologia t?m sido realizados com o intuito de preencher lacunas desta enfermidade. A hepatite C ? uma doen?a acometida pelo v?rus C, causando uma inflama??o do f?gado. Embora ainda n?o se tenha a cura, tratamentos medicamentosos t?m auxiliado na tentativa de se minimizar os preju?zos desta doen?a. Por outro lado, a medica??o desencadeia diversos efeitos colaterais que trazem preju?zos importantes na vida deste paciente como, sintomas psicopatol?gicos, fadiga, desesperan?a, problemas nos relacionamentos afetivos, dentre outros. Diante disso, este estudo torna-se relevante para esta popula??o, buscando maior conhecimento das consequ?ncias ocasionadas pelo dign?stico e propor novas formas de atua??o. Para o estudo das qualidades psicom?tricas do CRQ 6.0 foi utilizada a EAS-40, que tem como objetivo avaliar sintomas, como crit?rio externo. A amostra foi composta por 101 indiv?duos, sendo 61 pacientes em tratamento ambulatorial, diagnosticados com Hepatite C Cr?nica (G1), e 40 acompanhentes de pacientes atendidos em outras enfermarias (G2).De acordo com os resultados, o CRQ-6.0 apresentou boa consist?ncia interna, sendo que os coeficientes de Alfa de Cronbach variaram de 0,80 ? 0,87 em seus tr?s componentes. Houve correla??o negativa entre alguns fatores da EAS-40 e alguns componentes do CRQ 6.0. Observou-se tamb?m diferen?as significativas nos escores dos componentes do CRQ-6.0 e da EAS-40 entre G1 e G2; entre os pacientes do G1 que toma medica??o e os que n?o tomam e entre os g?neros do G1. Os resultados obtidos demonstram evid?ncias de validade no CRQ-6.0 e os instrumentos mostraram-se capazes de distinguir popula??es diferentes. Outros estudos tornam-se necess?rios para avaliar as qualidades psicom?tricas em outras popula??es.
