| Abstract: | Apart from somatic risk factors and the smoking of cigarettes more attention in the development of the myocardial infarction must be ascribed to the psychosocial and psychoemotional stress and its false processing. For the judgment of the stress in patients with myocardial infarction a questionnaire was constructed. It contains those questions the answer of which showed significant differences in comparison to the persons with healthy coronary vessels. The inquiries were answered by altogether 110 patients with myocardial infarction. In order to obtain references to definite characteristics concerning the structure of the personality of our patients with myocardial infarction, we used the INR-questionnaire after B?ttcher. In either sex moments of "self-stressing" dominate. Professional conflicts were mentioned more by men, familial problems more by women. Among others, definite characteristics concerning the structure of the personality (rigidity) of patients with myocardial infarction seem to be a reason for the deficient strain under stress or they increase the sensitiveness to stress. From the results of the examinations requirements to the psychic rehabilitation of patients with infarction are derived, which must be carried out parallel to the somatic rehabilitation. |
