[Psychological aspects of increased patient participation in prophylactic programs on treating arterial hypertension].
The MMPI and 16-PF scales were used in assessing 146 patients with first- and second-stage essential hypertension, according to the WHO classification. It was shown that the degree of patients' compliance was related to their personality features. The results of the study may be useful in determining differential psychotherapeutic approaches, geared specifically to the patients who declined or discontinued treatment. The practicability of a more active psychotherapeutic influence and individual psychotropic therapy for hypertensive patients involved in large-scale preventive programs is pointed out.
