“…Therefore, it seems to be interesting whether there are correlations between temperament, stress coping styles and severity of bronchial asthma and the level of control of the disease. Although such research has been conducted based on Cloninger’s model of temperament, the concept of temperament very popular in Western Europe [11], no studies discuss the role of the six temperamental factors distinguished by Strelau and Zawadzki in the clinical presentation of bronchial asthma. Temperament exerts a significant influence on the styles of coping with stress.…”

IntroductionTemperament, defined as the formal characteristics of behavior, is a personality trait which can influence the clinical presentation and course of bronchial asthma. It determines susceptibility to stress as well as stress coping styles.AimThe aim of the study was to assess whether healthy subjects differ from bronchial asthma patients with regard to temperamental variables and stress coping styles, and whether these factors may also differentiate patients with severe asthma from those with the milder form. The study also assesses whether the results of flow volume curve analysis correlate with temperamental traits and stress coping styles.Material and methodsThe study was conducted in a group of 65 asthma patients and 62 healthy controls. All underwent flow volume curve examination and psychological tests: Formal Characteristics of Behavior – Temperament Inventory (FCB-TI) and Coping in Stress Situations (CISS) questionnaire.ResultsBronchial asthma patients were characterized by a lower level of briskness (“agility”) than healthy subjects (13.35 ±4.48 vs. 14.97 ±3.98, p = 0.031). The remaining temperamental traits and stress coping styles did not differ between the groups. Additionally, the forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) value was found to correlate negatively with the intensity of the emotion-oriented stress coping style, whereas FEV1 and forced vital capacity (FVC) were found to positively correlate with briskness, emotional reactivity and endurance, while a negative correlation was found with activity.ConclusionsBriskness differentiates healthy subjects from bronchial asthma patients. The values obtained in FEV1 and FVC pulmonary function tests were also found to correlate with some temperamental variables.

“…Esto indica que las pacientes adolescentes con asma tienden a buscar refuerzos rápidos porque tienen una menor tolerancia de la frustración. Esto no se encuentra en el estudio de Gulec et al (2010) donde los pacientes adultos con asma destacan por su baja Búsqueda de la novedad en comparación con controles sanos y con otra enfermedad crónica. Esto se puede explicar porque la Búsqueda de la novedad se suele encontrar más alta en adolescentes, y puede que no sea una característica propia de las personas con asma en esta edad, sino que sea parte de la personalidad adulta tras una historia de asma.…”

“…Esta relación entre la personalidad y otras variables también se mantiene en la vida adulta, donde las variables de personalidad se relacionan con el control de los síntomas (Kim et al, 2015), la calidad de vida (Kim et al, 2015), la adherencia al tratamiento (Cheung, LeMay, Saini, y Smith, 2014), la duración de la enfermedad (Gulec, Gulec, Oztuna, y Kose, 2010) y la gravedad de la misma (Gulec et al, 2010).…”

Asthma of childhood onset: Impact of personality and psychopathology in a sample of adolescents.Asthma is the most common chronic disease in childhood, with a prevalence of 14%. The aim of this study was to examine the personality profile and psychopathology in a sample of adolescents with asthma, and their relationship with the clinical variables of this disease. Participants were thirty girls with asthma of between 12 and 17 years old. Twenty-two per cent had a comorbid psychological disorder and 36.7% a pathological interference of obsessive-compulsive symptomatology. We also found higher scores on Novelty Seeking and Reward Dependence, and lower scores on Persistence and Spirituality. There were no significant relationships between the clinical variables and the psychopathology variables. The relationship between asthma and psychopathological variables is still not very clear and more research is needed in order to improve the treatment of asthmatic patients.Keywords:Asthma; personality; adolescent; anxiety; depression. Resumen:El asma es la enfermedad crónica más común en la infancia, con una prevalencia del 14%. El objetivo de este estudio fue examinar el perfil de personalidad y de psicopatología en una muestra de adolescentes con asma, y su relación con las variables clínicas de la enfermedad de asma. Las participantes fueron treinta chicas con asma y una edad comprendida entre los 12-17 años. Se encontró que un 22% presentó un trastorno psicológico comórbido, y un 36.7% una interferencia patológica de los síntomas obsesivo-compulsivos. También encontramos una mayor Búsqueda de Novedad y Dependencia de la Recompensa, y una menor Persistencia y Espiritualidad. No se encontraron relaciones significativas entre las variables relacionadas con la enfermedad de asma y las variables de psicopatología. La relación entre el asma y las variables de psicopatologíasigue sin estar clara y se necesita más investigación al respecto para mejorar la intervención en los pacientes con asma.Palabras clave:Asma; personalidad; adolescentes; ansiedad; depresión.

“…Lower scores in Purposefulness (SD2), Resourcefulness (SD3), and total Self Directedness (SD) scores indicated that PFH patients might have difficulty to define, set, and pursue meaningful goals [8,10]. Low self-directedness scores of PFH cases seem compatible with results of other similar psychosomatic diseases [15-17]. It is inevitable that these individual’s success to tolerate stress and to cope with stress is low.…”

BackgroundPrimary focal hyperhidrosis is a health problem, which has negative effects on the patient's quality of life and significantly affects the patients’ daily activities, social and business life. The aim of this study is to evaluate temperament and character properties of patients diagnosed with primary focal hyperhidrosis.MethodsFifty-six primary focal hyperhidrosis (22.42 ± 7.80) and 49 control subjects (24.48 ± 5.17) participated in the study. Patients who met the diagnostic criteria for PFH were referred to psychiatry clinic where the subjects were evaluated through Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Disorders-I and Temperament and Character Inventory.ResultsIn order to examine the difference between the PFH and control group in terms of temperament and character properties, one-way Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was conducted. In terms of temperament properties, PFH group took significantly higher scores than control group in Fatigability and asthenia dimension. In terms of character properties, PFH group scored significantly lower than control group in Purposefulness , Resourcefulness , Self-Directedness and scored significantly higher than control group in Self-forgetfulness and Self-Transcendence.ConclusionTemperament and character features of PFH patients were different from healthy group and it was considered that these features were affected by many factors including genetic, biological, environmental, socio-cultural elements. During the follow-up of PFH cases, psychiatric evaluation is important and interventions, especially psychotherapeutic interventions can increase the chances of success of the dermatological treatments and can have a positive impact on the quality of life and social cohesion of chronic cases.
