title: [Psychological determinants of symptoms in patients after cholecystectomy].
abstract: Psychological testing revealed the participation and features of emotional traits and personality of patients in the development and course of various diseases. The authors applied psychological testing to two groups of patients: 1) operated on for cholecystolithiasis, and 2) those with various symptoms after cholecystectomy. The methods applied extended the data on the non-medical determinants of the experienced symptoms. The tests demonstrated differences in neurotic reactions between two groups of patients. It seems that such processes as self-concentration, increased anxiety level, neurotic substrate of behaviour and low emotional resistance were characteristic of the group dissatisfied with the results of cholecystectomy. The personality of these patients may influence the psychological determinants of the experienced symptoms.
