“…High neuroticism means a tendency to depression and anxiety. Indeed, numerous other studies have confirmed that individuals with poor asthma control tend to be anxious and depressive [4,5,15]. Sastre et al have demonstrated that anxiety, depressiveness and a low forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1 ) value are independent risk factors for poor asthma control [16].…”

“…It should be considered why poor control of asthma is related to neuroticism. Poor control of the disease means its severe course, the presence of dyspnea attacks, limitation of activity, and secondary anxiety and depression [4,5]. Thus, poorly controlled asthma can be viewed as a strong stresor that interferes with the functioning of the human being and leads to emotional disorders [11,19].…”

“…In view of the above, the mental condition may exert an indirect modulatory effect on the symptoms and course of bronchial asthma. On the other hand, the attacks of bronchial asthma and their negative impact on the quality of life can affect the psychological status of the patients and their social functioning [4]. Therefore, the correlations that occur between the features of character, the psychological state of the individual and the course of bronchial asthma are complex.…”

“…Asthma is obviously a disease of a psychosomatic nature, although its causes are disorders of regulation in the immune system most commonly associated with atopy and allergic inflammation of the tissue lining the bronchial tubes. The psychosomatic conditioning of bronchial asthma is evidenced even by the commonly known effect of stress on induction of dyspnea attacks, associated with hyperreactivity of the inflammation-affected bronchial mucosa and secondary hypersensitivity to cold air during emotion-induced hyperventilation [4,5]. The psychosomatic nature of the disease does not undermine the concept of its inflammatory and immune background but rather points to the links between mental processes and the immune system in humans and to the validity of the psychoneuroimmunology paradigm.…”

Introduction Asthma is a disease of a psychosomatic nature. The control of asthma is still poor in approximately 5% of patients, despite introduction of modern inhalant drugs and psychotherapeutic interventions. Aim To evaluate whether the degree of bronchial asthma control is related to the characteristics of temperament according to Eysenck’s concept. Material and methods The study was conducted on a group of 111 bronchial asthma patients and 44 healthy subjects. In all of them, the Eysenck temperament questionnaire was administered and the level of asthma control was determined. Results Increase in the scale of neuroticism was associated with an 1.83-fold increase in the likelihood of poor asthma control. Increase in the result on the psychoticism scale and lie scale of about one point was associated with a slightly smaller increased risk of poor asthma control (respectively: 1.49-fold and 1.61-fold). Conclusions The structure of temperament of a person with poor control of bronchial asthma can be characterized. Patients with poor asthma control have a higher level of neuroticism, psychoticism and propensity to lie, compared with the healthy population and subjects with good or partial bronchial asthma control.

“…The degree of control of bronchial asthma and its clinical course depend on biological factors (contraction of the airways, tendency to bronchial hyperreactivity) as well as psychological ones [ 1 ]. The fact that intensive stress induces the attack of dyspnea in subjects with a significant degree of bronchial hyperreactivity is commonly known [ 2 ].…”

IntroductionPoor asthma control is probably associated with both biological and psychological factors. Type D pattern of behavior is characterized by negative emotionality and inhibition in social relationships. It was previously found to be associated with cardiovascular diseases.AimTo evaluate the correlation between the degree of asthma control and the severity of the components of type D behavior pattern.Material and methodsThe research was conducted on a group of 117 subjects with bronchial asthma. The control group consisted of 32 healthy subjects. The degree of bronchial asthma control was determined using the Asthma Control Test. The D pattern of behavior was measured using the DS-14 questionnaire.ResultsThe risk of type D behavior pattern, defined as scoring at least 10 points in both scales (Negative Emotionality and Social Inhibition), was higher in subjects with uncontrolled asthma than in healthy individuals (OR = 5.19; 95% CI: 1.74–15.44), those with partial control of asthma (OR = 6.04; 95% CI: 1.87–19.52) and subjects with good control of asthma (OR = 8.46; 95% CI: 3.09–23.16). The severity of depressiveness correlated positively with the number of infections in the past year. Negative emotionality correlated positively with the number of infections and social inhibition.ConclusionsType D pattern of behavior may be associated with diagnosis and severity of asthma. Due to its link to poor control of asthma symptoms, a high level of negative emotionality among patients with asthma might be of particular interest to the clinicians.
