“…Είναι σπάνιες οί μελέτες, πού χρησιμοποίησαν τυποποιημένες αντικειμενικές δοκιμασίες (Stratoudakis et al 1976), καί οί τρόποι μετρήσεως της προσωπικότητος τείνουν να προσφέρουν μάλλον προκαθορισμένες απόψεις περί των στοιχείων προσωπικότητος (Pilowsky étal. 1977).…”

Behavioral medicine approaches to hypertension: An integrative analysis of theory and research

et al. 1979

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article compares behavioral and biological approaches to hypertension, highlights some of the practical, semantic, and theoretical issues involved, and attempts a constructive, behavioral medicine integration of these approaches. The major behavioral approaches to hypertension are described, with a focus on their conceptual limitations as stimulants to research into psychobiological mechanisms. A biobehavioral systems analysis of hypertension is outlined, emphasizing the role of the central nervous system as a common pathway relating environmental and behavioral factors to cardiovascular regulatory dynamics and disease. Schwartz's concept of blood pressure disregulation is discussed, by which behavioral "feedback loops" may be included in the pathogenesis of homeostatic disorders. A detailed discussion of concepts underlying the clinical pharmacological approach to hypertension is provided; parallels are drawn between the conceptual framework and the theoretical and practical questions facing behavioral researchers concerned with hypertension. Synergistic interactive effects of drug and behavioral treatments are proposed. A biobehavioral overview, which links pressor and depressor stimulus patterns to both pathogenesis and therapy, can serve to integrate the previous biobehavioral systems analysis, the conceptual framework of clinical pharmacology, and the notion of biobehavioral disregulation of blood pressure. Implications for future behavioral medicine research in hypertension are provided.

Psycho‐Social Factors and Blood Pressure During Pregnancy and Delivery

This research investigates the relationship between repression and blood pressure by using an objective and well-known test for classifying subjects as repressors (Byrne's R-S scale), and examines the relationships among socio-economic level, ethnic origin, and blood pressure.Subjects were 461 Israeli pregnant women who gave birth in urban hospitals. The physiological measures were the highest blood pressure a woman had during pregnancy, as well as blood pressure, heart rate and temperature measured immediately after her admission to the hospital. The women's anxiety level was ranked before and after delivery.No confirmation was found for the psychoanalytically based hypothesis held by several investigators, that subjects with repressive personality type would have higher blood pressure. No significant relationship was found between socio-economic level and any physiological measure. Israeli Jews of Oriental origin had lower blood pressure than those of European origin, even though the former were of lower socio-economic level.

Psychological Dynamics and Self-Perceptions of Persons with Essential Hypertension

Abstract: Recent literature suggests specific dynamic commonalities among hypertensives are unlikely; study of development, building and evaluation of programs tailored to the individual is in order.
