Abstract.
The article deals with the results of psychological examination of the patients with cholelithiasis done on the 1st - 2nd day after the operation. The data were obtained during the clinical interview and the examination with the use of the set of tests. The detection rate of clinically significant situational anxiety was 76%, in 90% of patients an increased level of personal anxiety was revealed. The increased level of depression was noted in 48% of patients. Also 40% of the patients examined demonstrated a tendency to the emergence of intrapersonal conflicts and 46% of patients had a high level of amplitude of sensory responses. In the structure of the personal response of the patients with cholelithiasis in 45,9% of cases an increased sensitivity to all stress factors was determined which created the prerequisites for increasing the level of personal anxiety in the conditions of stress of surgical treatment. At the same time according to the different techniques data it was established that from 36 to 47% of patients with cholelithiasis had the hyponosognostic type of their attitude to the disease. In case of this type of the reaction in the postoperative period with high degree of probability low compliance with non-observance of treatment, dietary regimen and the doctor’s directions is noted, which subsequently decreases the effectiveness of treatment. Patients with cholelithiasis had personal and behavioral similarities with those patients who had non-psychotic mental disorders and cholelithiasis in their anamnesis. The data obtained are considered to be the confirmation of the hypothesis about the role of the mental sphere in the development of cholelithiasis.
Key words: cholelithiasis, anxiety, depression, accentuation of personality traits.
