82例高血压患者16项人格特质测验

Testing Cattell's 16 personality characteristics in 82 cases of idiopathic hypertension

研究目的应用卡特尔16项人格特质测验探讨原发性高血压患者的人格特征。研究背景高血压病是危害人类健康的常见病之一，发病率逐年上升，但其病因至今尚未阐明，故有必要从心理、人格方面来探讨高血压的发病原因，以利于高血压病的防治。研究方法本文对82例均由2名以上内科医师确诊为原发性高血压、且现在高压仍保持在20／12．7kPa以上的患者进行卡特尔16项人格特质测验，并与78例人群对照分析。结果高血压患者在C－稳定性、E－峙强性、Q－紧张性以及在双重人格因素类型中的适应与焦虑方面与正常对照组有显著差异（P＜0．05）。结论心理－社会因素是促使高血压发生的重要因素，它对高血压病因的阐明有重要意义，同时也使我们越来越重视运用心理、行为疗法，如生物反馈、各种松驰疗法等去防治高血压。

Determination of the personality characteristic of patients' with idiopathic hypertension using Cattell's testa of 16 personality characteristics. Background Idiopathic hypertension is a common human disorder which is increasingly commoner year by year. Its cause is still unknown and hence the necessity of investigating its possible causation from the standpoint of psychology and personality in order to improve the prevention and treatment of the disease.Methods Our series of 82 cases were patients diagnosed as idiopathic hypertension by 2 or more physicians, whose blood pressure was 20 /12.7 kPa or more, tests of Cattell's 16 personality characterostics were made and 78 normal persons were used as controls.Results Adaptation and anxiety in hypertensives classed under the groups of C (stability), E (force dependence), Q4 (nervous tension)and group with dual personality factors, showed marked differences compared with controls which is of marked significance statislically (P <0.05).Conclutiou Psychological- sciological factors are important factors promoting the development of hypertonsion. They are important in defining the causation of idiopathic hypertonsion, and at the same time make us place more and more importance on the use of psychological and behavious therapy, e. g. biofeedbacks, various relaxation therapies in the prevention and treatment of idiopathic hypertension.
