Given the fact that immune system is greatly affected by people's emotional characteristics and since these characteristics are mainly formed through interactions with one's parents, this study aims to determine the relation between personality characteristics and disorders of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and their parents.
This is an applied, descriptive study on 88 MS patients and 63 parents who had visited two physiotherapy clinics in Tehran between January and August 2016. Participants who met the inclusion criteria were selected using convenient sampling method. After acquiring their consent, participants were asked to fill the millon personality questionnaire. Gathered data were analyzed using Pearson and Spearman tests. R statistical software was also used to draw histogram of the data.
The most common personality disorder in MS patients includes histrionic personality disorder while the most common problems among their parents included histrionic personality disorder and obsessive character traits. There was also a direct, significant relation between histrionic personality disorder and narcissistic traits in parents and patients.
Due to unknown nature and progress of MS, studying personality characteristics of patients and their parents can help determine better treatment methods along with advances in neurological treatments.
鉴于免疫系统会受到人们情绪特征的极大影响，且这些特征主要通过与父母的互动形成，本研究旨在确定人格特征与多发性硬化症（MS）患者及其父母的疾病之间的关系。
这是一项应用描述性研究，研究对象为2016年1月至8月期间在德黑兰两家物理治疗诊所就诊的88名MS患者和63名父母。采用便利抽样法选取符合纳入标准的参与者。在获得他们的同意后，要求参与者填写米隆人格问卷。使用Pearson和Spearman检验对收集到的数据进行分析。还使用R统计软件绘制数据直方图。
MS患者中最常见的人格障碍包括表演型人格障碍，而其父母中最常见的问题包括表演型人格障碍和强迫性人格特质。父母和患者的表演型人格障碍与自恋特质之间也存在直接、显著的关系。
由于MS的性质和进展尚不清楚，研究患者及其父母的人格特征有助于确定更好的治疗方法以及神经治疗的进展。
