    Objetivo: El presente estudio se propuso investigar los síntomas de ansiedad y depresión en familiares de pacientes que fueron admitidos en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos y se determinó si estos síntomas se asociaron con la gravedad de la condición del paciente. Metodología: Durante este es-tudio se encuestó un total de 102 familiares de pacientes, a quienes se les solicitó diligenciar un cuestiona-rio auto-administrado para estimar aspectos sociodemográficos y síntomas de ansiedad y depresión. Los síntomas de ansiedad y depresión fueron evaluados con la Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (hads). La condición del paciente fue evaluada con el a.p.a.ch.eii Score. Resultados: Más del 60% de los familiares encuestados presenta-ron síntomas severos de ansiedad y depresión. No se encontró relación entre los síntomas de ansiedad y depresión de los familiares de los pacientes y el estado de salud de éstos. Por el contrario, aquellas sensaciones solían darse con independencia de la gravedad de la condición del paciente. Conclusiones: Se recomienda la evaluación de estos pacientes para evitar problemas serios de ansiedad y depresión
