“…However none of these psychosocial variables were statistically predictive of the surgical result, in contrast to the previously mentioned findings of McColl et al (1971). The different findings in this study may be from the patient population having particularly longstanding disability from duodenal ulcer prior to the operation.…”

An attempt was made to relate the outcome of surgery to psychosocial factors in an unselected series of 30 male patients with duodenal ulcer. Though statistically significant differences did not emerge on the psychosocial parameters studied, patients with good surgical results were less likely to give histories of preoperative anxiety or depression or to show evidence of these at interview. They also had lower ratings on Hamilton Rating and Deprivation Scales, and were more likely to have hopeful expectations of operation and positive attitudes towards previous medical treatment. Patients with psychiatric illness or psychological deprivation having sugery for chronic duodenal ulceration, can expect almost as good a surgical result as those without these difficulties. They are unlikely to show increased psychiatric morbidity, postoperatively.

“…Poor frustration tolerance has been found to be related to symptomatic suffering and lower well-being in a sample of patients applying for psychotherapy (Wilczek et al, 1998). Other measures sharing conceptual similarities with KAPP frustration tolerance also have been reported to be related to adjustment after surgery for gastric and duodenal ulcers (McColl, Drinkwater, Hulme-Moir, & Donnan, 1971), gastrointestinal surgery resulting in colostomy and ileostomy (Bekkers et al, 1996), heart transplantation (Bunzel & Wollenek, 1994), bypass surgery (Moser & Dracup, 1995), and various health outcomes (Scheier & Bridges, 1995).…”

Personality traits predicting long‐term adjustment after surgery for ulcerative colitis

Very few studies have examined the relationship between personality traits and long-term postoperative psychosocial adjustment. In a sample of 46 patients, we examined the relation between personality traits before pelvic pouch surgery for ulcerative colitis and psychosocial adjustment seven years postoperatively, controlling for the effects of surgical functional outcome. The Karolinska Psychodynamic Profile (KAPP) was used for personality assessment. Surgical functional outcome scales and the Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale were also used. As assessed by the KAPP, poor frustration tolerance, long-standing preoperative problems in sexual functioning, perfectionistic body ideals, and lack of alexithymia predicted poorer postoperative long-term psychosocial adjustment in the areas of health concerns, sexuality, family relations, and psychological distress. Surgical functional outcome itself was a poor predictor of long-term adjustment. The results indicate that it may be beneficial to take personality factors into account in preoperative assessment.

“…For example, Weinryb et al 17 showed that poor outcome after pelvic pouch surgery in patients with ulcerative colitis was related to personality traits such as anxiety proneness, poor frustration tolerance, and poor socialization. In a study of patients undergoing gastric surgery, McColl et al 18 found that the personality domain neuroticism was related to poorer outcome. Likewise, neuroticism had a negative association with therapeutic response in patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders 19 and with gall bladder pain.…”

The relationship between personality traits and the perceived outcome of burn injury 1 to 18 years (mean, 9.2 years) after severe burn injury was evaluated in 166 individuals treated at the Uppsala Burn Unit. The perceived outcome was measured with the Burn Specific Health Scale-Brief (BSHS-B) and was related to personality traits evaluated by means of the Swedish universities Scales of Personality. After controlling for age at inquiry, time since injury, burn area, and sex, a stepwise logistic regression analysis revealed an association between the Swedish universities Scales of Personality domain Neuroticism and Bad outcome in all BSHS-B domains, both psychosocial and physical, and Insufficient outcome in the domains Work, Body image, Affect, and BSHS-B total score. The neurotic traits Somatic trait anxiety, Psychic trait anxiety, Stress susceptibility, Embitterment, and Mistrust each or in different combinations explained the observed relationships. The data suggest that personality is related to health status because it is perceived a long time after severe burn injury and that its effect is not confined only to psychological but also to physical aspects of life.
