The aim was to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Bulimic Behaviour Observation Questionnaire (COBU), related to the symptoms observed in bulimia nervosa (BN) by caregivers. The sample consisted of 162 caregivers of patients with BN (n=126), anorexia nervosa (AN) (n = 26) and binge eating disorder (n =10). Exploratory analysis of the COBU revealed three factors: Overeating observation (α = 0.77), Restriction Interval Observation (α = 0.76) and Impulsivity Observation (α = 0.62). The questionnaire showed good convergent validity with the ABOS scale for carers (rho = 0.58), p < .01) and the BITE scale for patients (rho = 0.40, p < 0.01). The questionnaire discriminates between clinical diagnoses, except for the Impulsivity Observation subscale. It is recommended for use in the assessment by the family and to assist in recognizing and assessing changes in the symptoms.
El objetivo fue desarrollar y evaluar las propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario de Observación de la Conducta Bulímica (COBU), sobre la sintomatología observada en la bulimia nerviosa (BN) por los cuidadores. La muestra estaba constituida por 162 cuidadores de pacientes con BN (n = 126), anorexia nerviosa (n = 26) y trastorno de atracón (n = 10). A través de un análisis exploratorio del COBU, se han aislado tres factores: Observación de Sobreingesta (α = 0,77), Observación de Periodos de Restricción (α = 0.76) y Observación de Impulsividad (α = 0.62). El cuestionario muestra buena validez convergente con la escala ABOS para cuidadores (rho = 0.58, p < 0.01) y con el cuestionario BITE para pacientes (rho = 0.40, p < 0.01). El COBU discrimina entre diagnósticos clínicos, excepto la subescala de Observación de Impulsividad. Se recomienda su uso en evaluación familiar para ayudarles a reconocer y valorar los cambios en la sintomatología.
