TULBURĂRILE DE PERSONALITATE LA PACIENŢII CU AFECŢIUNI DERMATOLOGICE
Journal Title: Revista de Psihologie - Year 2019, Vol 65, Issue 1
Abstract
This study investigates the personality disorders among patients with dermatological affections, related to skin disease severity, by taking into account several socio-demographic characteristics, such as gender, age and education. A sample of 61 participants was investigated in a cross-sectional approach with Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory – MCMI-III. For measuring the skin disease severity, an index of severity was calculated, by taking into consideration the disease duration, the frequency of manifestation in the last 12 months and the percentage of skin affected. The results show that skin disease severity correlates negatively with the severity of histrionic and narcissistic personality disorders, while age is positively correlated with the severity of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. In terms of gendre, it resulted that women scored higher than men for schizoid, antisocial, sadistic and paranoid personality disorders and obtained lower scores for obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. Moreover, people with medium level of education scored higher than those with high level of education, for masochistic and paranoid personality disorders. Our results concur to a better understanding of the topic regarding the personality disorders among patients with dermatological affections, being a relatively new area of research in Romania. The study can be used for further research related to the link between skin health and mental health.
