title: [Evaluation of fear and analysis of personality structure of women at risk for premature and after term labor].
abstract: Psychological studies were performed in 57 pregnant women at risk for premature labour and 36 at risk for after term labour. The level of fear was evaluated using the Spielberger STAI questionnaire. The structure of fear and restlessness was studied using the R.B. Cattell's five factor Self-estimation Sheet. The analysis of personality structure was performed on the basis of results of the MMPI-WISKAD test. In the patients in both studied groups, groups an increased level of situational and persistent fear was found. Women at risk for premature labour are characterized by higher level of fear of neurotic character resulting from disharmonious personality. In women delivered after term the fear is of reactive character. Women at risk for after term labour are characterized by a higher degree of personality integration and more effective ability to control fear. Women at risk for premature labour are characterized by disharmonious personality and simultaneously they use more primitive protective mechanisms. Women delivered after term are characterized by higher degree of personality integration and more effective ability to control fear.
