title: [The results of a study of frustration and depression in older primiparae].
abstract: On the basis of an experimental group of 40 elder nulliparous women (ENP) (over 35 years of age) and a control group of 70 nulliparous women, aged up to 30 years of age, and examined at the chair of obstetrics and gynecology in the town of Pleven, the authors investigated the psychic state of women under the conditions of frustration and searched for hidden or manifest depression. Picture-frustration test of C. Rosenzweig and self-evaluating scale of A. K. Beck for disclosure of depression were used for the purpose of the study. It was established that in the experimental group of women there was diminished reaction to frustrating events and increased exactingness to oneself and to the others for liquidation of frustration. Correlation between elevated autoaggression and light and moderate degree of depression in 20% of ENP was found. ENP are determined as a risk group from a psychological point of view on the basis of the obtained results. This is of interest in determining the prophylactic and therapeutic approach for formation of the most correct regimen (programme) for the protection of pregnancy.
