The aim of this study was to assess heart rate variability (HRV) in individuals with dissociative disorders (DD) before and after the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI). Electrocardiograms were recorded before, during, and after the AAI in 13 individuals with DD and 13 healthy participants matched for age and gender. Significant change in HRV was observed only in the DD group. After the AAI, those with DD showed significant increases in the low frequency/high frequency ratio (pre-AAI = 1.91 ± 1.19; post-AAI = 4.03 ± 2.40; Wilcoxon test = -2.76, p = .005). Our results suggest that the retrieval of childhood attachment experiences in individuals with DD is associated with a change in HRV patterns that could reflect the emotion dysregulation of dissociative psychopathological processes.
本研究的目的是评估解离性障碍(DD)患者在成人依恋访谈(AAI)前后的心率变异性(HRV)。对13名患有DD的个体以及13名年龄和性别匹配的健康参与者在AAI之前、期间和之后进行了心电图记录。仅在DD组中观察到HRV的显著变化。AAI之后,患有DD的个体低频/高频比值显著增加(AAI前=1.91±1.19;AAI后=4.03±2.40;威尔科克森检验=-2.76,p=0.005)。我们的结果表明,DD患者童年依恋经历的唤起与HRV模式的变化有关,这可能反映了解离性心理病理过程中的情绪调节障碍。
