People suffering from chronic hepatitis C have great probability of presenting psychopathologic symptoms and difficulties on relationships with romantic partners. This study aimed to estimate the internal consistency, convergent validity and discriminant validity of the Central Relationship Questionnaire 6.0 (CRQ 6.0) for adults with chronic hepatitis C. The CRQ 6.0 is a self-report, developed to assesses the individuals relationship patterns according to three components: Wishes (W), Responses from Others (RO), Responses of Self (RS). Participants were patients with chronic hepatitis C (G1, n = 61) and persons who accompanied patients (G2, n = 40). They answered to the CRQ 6.0 and to the Symptoms Assessment Scale-40 (EAS-40). Results pointed to the acceptable internal consistency of the CRQ 6.0s components. They significantly correlated to psychopathological symptoms with EAS-40. Scores of the CRQ 6.0 were significantly higher for: participants of G1 (RO, RS), participants under medication (RS) and women (W, RS).Downloads
