[Characteristics of the psychological status of patients with peptic ulcer].
The article discusses changes in the psychological status and the forming of various types of attitude towards the disease in patients with a favorable and unfavorable course of peptic ulcer (PU). The subjects of the study were 82 patients with exacerbation of PU; among them there were 30 patients with a favorable and 52 patient with a complicated course. Patients with a favorable course of PU did not displayed prominent peaks in SMOL profile, which reflected a relatively benign state of their psychological status. Favorable type of response to the disease--harmonic and anosognostic--with lesser social disadaptation prevailed in these patients. On the contrary, patients with a complicated course of PU displayed a relative increase in the profile on the scales, reflecting a higher tension in combination with diadaptive response to the disesase, which should be taking into account when correcting treatment.
