Journal Title: Innowacje w Pielęgniarstwie i Naukach o Zdrowiu - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Over the years, researchers have focused on identifying specific personality traits associated with specific disease manifestations. Mental health and psychological status, as well as personality characteristics, have been studied and identified as some of the prognostic factors of cardiovascular disease, along with physical ones, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellitus. This article focuses on Type D personality characteristics and the way it may affect the onset of cardiovascular disease, the prognosis and quality of life of patients. People with different personality characteristics adjust differently to disease. More specifically, people with type D personality have been found to have poor general health and suffer for a variety of health-threatening situations. Type D personality and psychological distress, in general, have been suggested as causes for poor prognosis for patients with cardiovascular disease, as these patients are less adherent to their therapy and have a number of unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as smoking and low activity levels. It seems necessary that attention should be paid to psychological characteristics and personality types, as risk or protective factors for cardiovascular disease.
