The objective of the study was the analysis of psychosocial problems of subjects afflicted with bronchial asthma. The survey comprised a group of 121 patients treated in the Pulmonary Department of Medical University of Lublin. The type and intensity of problems was determined on the basis of Handicap Problems Inventory of Wright and Rommers. In comparison with various groups of people with disabilities, patients with asthma are affected with more psychosocial problems. They feel ashamed of their illness and try to conceal it from others. It results in rare and rather not very spontaneous contacts with other people and in the feeling of inferiority. They act best in family feeling, however, guilty towards them. They worry about the future of the relationship, loss of autonomy and independence. The patients lose confidence in their chances for professional career feeling afraid for their financial future. Basing on the results, it can be ascertained that the treatment of the bronchial asthma patients requires that their psychosocial problems should be taken into account. Then, the therapeutic effects will be more effective.
该研究的目的是分析患有支气管哮喘的受试者的心理社会问题。该调查涵盖了在卢布林医科大学肺病科接受治疗的121名患者。问题的类型和严重程度是根据赖特和罗默斯的残疾问题清单确定的。与各类残疾人群体相比,哮喘患者受到更多心理社会问题的影响。他们为自己的疾病感到羞耻,并试图向他人隐瞒。这导致他们与他人的接触稀少且不太自然,并产生自卑感。他们在家庭氛围中表现最佳,但对家人感到内疚。他们担心关系的未来、失去自主性和独立性。患者对自己的职业前景失去信心,担心自己的经济未来。基于这些结果,可以确定支气管哮喘患者的治疗需要考虑到他们的心理社会问题。这样,治疗效果将更有效。
