Leading typological characteristics of temperament and psychodynamic features of personality in men with various forms of eczema

Abstract

Annotation. The problem of causation in the formation of eczema in terms of psychosomatic relationship is currently relevant and virtually unresolved. The application of the complex principle of research determines a multifaceted assessment of the psychological state of the personality of patients with eczema and the possibility of its optimal correction. The aim of the study was to study the differences between the indicators of the leading typological characteristics of temperament and psychodynamic features of personality between healthy and/or eczema patients depending on the severity of dermatosis. Men aged 22 to 35 years, with a diagnosis of true and microbial eczema, were evaluated for the leading typological characteristics of temperament according to the Eysenck questionnaire and psychodynamic personality traits according to the Spielberger-Khanin questionnaire. As a control from the data bank of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya indicators of the level of subjective control of 82 practically healthy men of the same age group were selected. Statistical processing of the results was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric evaluation methods. In general, it was found that among patients with eczema 5.6 % are introverts, potential introverts – 12.3 %, ambiverts – 44.6 %, potential extroverts – 29.0 % and extroverts – 8.5 %. Compared with healthy individuals, the percentage of patients with various forms and severity of eczema is higher due to subjects with low (all groups of patients) and potentially low levels of neuroticism (true eczema of mild course), low situational (true eczema of mild course eczema and microbial eczema of severe course) and personal (truth of severe eczema) anxiety, and lover – due to patients with potentially high levels of neuroticism (truth of severe eczema), moderate (severe microbial eczema) and high (truth of eczema mild) level and situation level of personal anxiety (the truth of mild eczema). Patients with severe disease are characterized by a higher level of neuroticism (true eczema) and a higher level of personal anxiety (microbial eczema) compared to patients with mild disease. Patients with severe microbial eczema have a higher level of situational anxiety compared to patients with true eczema of similar severity. Thus, psychodiagnostics, which is based solely on patients' self-description of their behavior, emotional and volitional state, leads to inconsistency, subjectivity, uninformativeness of the results of the study and does not reveal the dynamics of the disease or treatment features.
