Antecedentes. No existen instrumentos de auto-reporte en español para medir síntomas de trastorno bipolar. La perspectiva del paciente puede dar información complementaria de utilidad para el diagnóstico y manejo de la enfermedad.

Objetivo. Desarrollar una escala de auto-reporte para medir síntomas maníacos, a partir de la escala EMUN.

Materiales y métodos. Los ítems de la escala EMUN se transformaron a un lenguaje en primera persona por parte de dos psiquiatras. Esta versión preliminar en primera persona fue analizada en un estudio piloto y ajustada de acuerdo con los resultados de la evaluación. Se realizó un segundo estudio piloto con 20 pacientes con enfermedad bipolar, aplicando la versión ajustada.

Resultados. Se generó una escala con 26 ítems que incorporan síntomas del episodio mixto. La escala mide tres dimensiones de importancia clínica en salud mental: frecuencia, intensidad y grado de desadaptación producido por los síntomas.

Conclusión. El instrumento desarrollado puede ser de utilidad en áreas de investigación y en escenarios clínicos para intervenciones psicoeducativas y seguimiento del paciente.

Background. In Spanish language, no self-report instruments have been specifically developed to measure symptoms of bipolar disorder. The patient's perspective provides valuable information useful to diagnose and treat the disorder.

Objective. Develop a self-report scale for measuring manic symptoms making use of the EMUN scale.

Materials and methods. The items of the EMUN scale were transformed into a first person language by two psychiatrists. This preliminary version was evaluated in a pilot testing and adjusted according to this evaluation. A second pilot study applying the adjusted version to 20 patients having bipolar disorder was performed.

Results. A 26 items scale including symptoms of mixed episode was developed. This scale measures three clinical relevant dimensions in mental health: frequency, severity and maladaptive effect of symptoms.

Conclusions. The instrument developed can be a useful tool for researchers and in clinical settings to support educational interventions and patient's follow-up.
