Personality dimensions of sexually transmitted disease repeaters assessed with the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory

OBJECTIVE: To assess the personality characteristics of patients with repeated sexually transmitted diseases (STD). METHOD: A case-control study comparing 101 STD repeaters (subjects with a lifetime history of three or more STDs) with 182 controls who had no history of STD. All subjects attended the City Department for Skin and Venereal Diseases in Belgrade (Yugoslavia) from June 1997 to April 1998. Personality characteristics was assessed by the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI). RESULTS: The analysis of MCMI test showed that STD repeaters had higher scores on narcissistic, antisocial and paranoid scales. The difference between STD repeaters and the controls was significant on antisocial, psychotic thinking and psychotic delusion scales, although scores on clinical syndromes were low for both cases and controls. Discriminant analysis showed that antisocial personality was predictive for STD repeaters. CONCLUSIONS: This study support the hypothesis that STD repeaters are different from controls in terms of their psychological characteristics. The behaviour of STD repeaters is ego-syntonic, which makes the treatment of their personality difficult and emphasizes the importance of work on primary and secondary prevention of STD.     

人本原理在医院管理中的应用价值

《野叟曝言》创作人格批判

《野叟曝言》的“文格”与夏敬渠的创作人格有一致性，但存在明显的、不可忽视的矛盾，这种矛盾对《野叟曝言》的文本价值产生了极复杂的影响。导致夏敬渠“人格”与《野叟曝言》“文格”矛盾的原因是多方面的，研究视角不能简单化、绝对化。     

Advancing Nursing Practice with a Unit-based Clinical Expert

Objective: To explore patterns in the practice of nursing and patient outcomes.
Design: Qualitative field research.
Population, Sample, Setting: Populations were critical care nurses and critically ill adult patients in the 10-bed medical critical care unit of a 900-bed teaching hospital. A convenience-purposive sample of 27 nurses and 31 patients was studied in 1985.
Methods: Six months of participant observation, unstructured interviews, and the constant comparison method of grounded theory.
Findings: Markedly different patterns were found in expert and nonexpert practice. The substantive theory of conversion helped explain how the majority of nonexpert nurses advanced their practice. The metaphor of catalyzed conversion captures how a unit-based expert nurse serves as a catalyst to advance the practice of nonexperts. Presence, defined as the way of being within a given clinical context, differentiated nurses.
Conclusions: (a) Expert and nonexpert practices are substantively different, (b) Expert and nonexpert practice results in different patient outcomes, (c) Conversion helps explain changes in nonexpert practice.
Clinical Implications: A unit-based expert nurse can increase patient-focused care.     

Psychopathology and personality characteristics of epileptic patients: epilepsy, psychopathology and personality

The psychiatric investigation of a sample of 101 epileptic patients (65 temporal lobe epileptics (TLE) and 36 non-TLE) through various methods of evaluation, showed that only a minority of TLE with DSM-III diagnoses of Organic Brain Syndromes had severe psychopathology and manifested some personality traits. Thus, these patients seem to be differentiated from the rest of epileptics, TLE and non-TLE, who had quite "benign" psychological problems, if at all. It is quite probable that this sub-group of TLE could be the main instigators and perpetrators of the "bad image" of epileptics. The findings are discussed in relation to the pertinent literature and some hypotheses are offered for their explanation.     

于阴阳与基因调控关系辨治胃黏膜上皮内瘤变

胃黏膜上皮内瘤变是胃癌前病变,具有发展为胃癌的危险。阳主动,阴主静,文章基于阴阳理论,衷中参西,微观辨证与宏观辨证结合,以阴阳消长失调和基因调控紊乱的关系为出发点,认为胃黏膜上皮内瘤变发生时胃黏膜细胞凋亡周期紊乱和细胞异常增殖分化是阴阳消长失衡在细胞基因调控水平上的体现,进而探讨胃黏膜上皮内瘤变的病因病机以及辨证论治过程,为中医药治疗胃黏膜上皮内瘤变提供更多的理论依据,丰富治疗该病的临床手段。

神经症的性压抑与心理因素的相关性研究

研究神经症患者潜在人格与性压抑和情绪的相关性.方法:对124例神经症患者进行了婚姻质量问卷(性生活、婚姻质量部份)、抑郁自评量表(以下简称SDS)、焦虑自评量表(以下简称SAS)及自编的性生活调查问卷、主题统觉测验(以下简称TAT)测评.结果:1、神经症伴性障碍组TAT潜在人格与对照组相比,在支配、性、援助、躯体社会攻击、财产破坏欲求、自我攻击、情绪变化欲求和情绪言语攻击性、躯体社会攻击、引诱、缺乏、丧失、灾害、丧失支持、躯体伤害压力上均较对照组显著增高,而成就欲求下降(P<005-001);与神经症无性障碍组相比,神经症伴性障碍组的成就、支配、教养、性欲求得分显著增高,情绪言语攻击欲求得分下降(P<001～005);2、神经症伴性障碍组的性生活质量低,性频度、性后快感均低.3、SDS、SAS与TAT中的负性欲求呈明显的相关性,性行为调查与婚姻质量量表中的性行为呈正相关.结论:神经症的性压抑与其潜在人格有密切的相关性.     

心阻抗容积图的传统理论及其局限性

Psychological aspects of Crohn's disease

This is a critical review of 16 studies reporting a relationship between Crohn's disease and psychological variables. The studies reviewed indicate a relationship between the psychological variables of stressful life events, personality characteristics, and psychopathology and the onset and/or exacerbation of Crohn's symptoms. Personality characteristics such as depression, anxiety, and dependency are frequently reported as are the occurrence of stressful life events and the presence of psychopathology. The nature of the relationship is not explained by the research to date; however, the findings summarized in this report indicate that additional investigation into this association is warranted. A plan for such research is suggested.
