Several authors link hypertension with psychological dispositions such as stress, personality, and anxiety, some propose that stress is not enough to explain arterial hypertension and others propose the perseverative cognition model to explain. The aim of this study was to relate personality traits and blood pressure profile of a group of workers, examining the results of perseverative cognition as a possible mediating variable concerning blood pressure.
Cross-sectional design study, with a sample of 76 employees of a Colombian university. The NEO-FFI, RRS, and blood pressure measurement instruments were applied; data were reviewed through correlation and mediation analysis.
We found evidence of association between neuroticism and perseverative cognition (rho=0.42 with brooding; rho =0.32 with reflection), but no evidence about mediation of perseverative cognition between personality and blood pressure.
It is necessary to keep researching the mechanisms related to the occurrence of hypertension.
一些作者将高血压与压力、个性和焦虑等心理倾向联系起来,一些人认为压力不足以解释动脉高血压,而另一些人则提出了持续认知模型来解释。本研究旨在将一组工人的人格特征与血压状况联系起来,检验持续认知作为血压的一个可能中介变量的结果。
这是一项横断面设计研究,样本为哥伦比亚一所大学的 76 名员工。应用了 NEO-FFI、RRS 和血压测量仪器;通过相关性和中介分析对数据进行了回顾。
我们发现神经质与持续认知(沉思时为 0.42;反思时为 0.32)之间存在关联的证据,但没有发现持续认知在人格和血压之间的中介作用的证据。
有必要继续研究与高血压发生相关的机制。
