(1) Background: Psychological wellbeing correlates with improved physical and psychological health, as this construct plays a fundamental role in disease recovery and health maintenance. Hence, for healthcare professionals, understanding the factors that predict psychological wellbeing is of great interest. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine whether health status and personality traits influence psychological wellbeing. (2) Methods: The total sample (N = 600) consisted of HIV patients, individuals with diabetes, and healthy subjects from the Salamanca Clinical Hospital. The instruments used for data collection included a sociodemographic questionnaire, Ryff's Psychological Wellbeing Scale, and the Spanish version of the Big Five Taxonomy to measure personality. (3) Results: Specific personality traits, such as Emotional Stability, Extraversion, Responsibility, and Integrity were significant predictors of different dimensions of psychological wellbeing. Regarding health status, individuals with diabetes and healthy subjects, compared to HIV+ subjects, were associated with higher levels of psychological wellbeing dimensions. (4) Conclusions: Individual differences in personality traits and the diagnosis of a chronic condition may play a fundamental role in psychological wellbeing. These conclusions are of great interest for developing strategies aimed at individuals with chronic illnesses and specific personality traits associated with poorer psychological wellbeing.
(1) 背景:心理健康与改善身心健康相关,因为这一概念在疾病康复和健康维持中起着基础性作用。因此,对于医疗保健专业人员来说,了解预测心理健康的因素非常重要。因此,本研究的目的是确定健康状况和人格特质是否会影响心理健康。(2) 方法:总样本(N = 600)包括来自萨拉曼卡临床医院的艾滋病患者、糖尿病患者和健康受试者。用于数据收集的工具包括一份社会人口统计学问卷、赖夫心理健康量表以及用于测量人格的西班牙文版大五人格分类法。(3) 结果:特定的人格特质,如情绪稳定性、外向性、责任心和正直性,是心理健康不同维度的重要预测因素。关于健康状况,与艾滋病病毒阳性受试者相比,糖尿病患者和健康受试者在心理健康维度上的水平更高。(4) 结论:人格特质的个体差异和慢性病的诊断可能在心理健康中起基础性作用。这些结论对于制定针对患有慢性病以及具有与较差心理健康相关的特定人格特质的个体的策略具有重要意义。
