To explore whether patients with blepharospasm (BSP) have abnormal personality traits by the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) questionnaire.
The personality profiles of patients with BSP and its relationship with clinical characteristics were assessed in this research. 46 patients with BSP and 33 age-and-gender matched healthy controls were assessed using the MMPI questionnaire. The scores of three validity scales and ten clinical scales were calculated and compared. Then the relationship between those scales and clinical characteristics of patients with BSP was analyzed in the BSP group.
It was found that patients with BSP scored significantly higher than healthy controls on the D, Hy, Pt clinical scales. The peak values of profiles were Hy, D, Hs scale scores. However, there was no statistical relationship between the clinical scales of MMPI and the clinical characteristics of BSP after Bonferroni Correction.
The findings indicated that MMPI could be a useful psychometric tool to characterize a specific pattern of the personality of BSP patients and BSP patients may have avoidant and somatization personality characteristics.
通过明尼苏达多相人格问卷（MMPI）探讨眼睑痉挛（BSP）患者是否存在异常人格特征。
本研究评估了 BSP 患者的人格特征及其与临床特征的关系。使用 MMPI 问卷评估 46 例 BSP 患者和 33 名年龄和性别匹配的健康对照者。计算并比较了三个效度量表和十个临床量表的得分。然后分析了 BSP 组中这些量表与 BSP 患者临床特征的关系。
BSP 患者在 D、Hy、Pt 临床量表上的得分显著高于健康对照组。图谱的峰值值为 Hy、D、Hs 量表得分。然而，经过 Bonferroni 校正后，MMPI 的临床量表与 BSP 的临床特征之间没有统计学关系。
这些发现表明，MMPI 可以作为一种有用的心理计量工具来描述 BSP 患者特定的人格模式，并且 BSP 患者可能具有回避和躯体化人格特征。
