초록
목적: 한국인의 질병행동 특성에는 전통적인 질병개념, 신체화경향 및 각종 사회문화적 요소와 복합적으로 관련되어 있다. 이에 신체화 기전을 근본으로 한 신체형환자의 질병행동의 특성을 파악하여 여기에서 얻은 결과를 향후 치료에 활용해 보고자 하였다. 방법: 환자군은 DSM-IV에 의거하여 신체형장애로 진단된 환자 29명이었고, 대조군은 질병대조군으로서 골절 및 급성질환에 의해서 수술받은 환자 57명으로 하였다. 양군에서 임상증상의 특성과 통증의 유무 및 통증정도측정(Visual Analogue Scale) 상태불안(Spielberger의 Anxiety State Inventory), 우울정도 측정(Beck's Depression Inventory), 스트레스정도(Psychosocial Stress Scale)를 재고, 그리고 질병행동의 특성은 질병행동 평가 설문인 illness Behavior questionnaire(IBQ)를 한국어로 번역하여 신뢰도를 검증한 후에 검사도구로 이용하였다. 결과: 신체형장애 환자는 대조군에 비해 증상기간이 길고 (71.8+64.3개월), 나이가 많았으며(39.0+10.2세), 측정당시의 통증정도(
Abnormal illness behavior in patients with somatoform disorders were known formed by their traditional disease concepts and somatization-prone socio-cultural factors. The authors evaluated the characteristics of abnormal illness behavior in patients with somatoform disorders(who had somatization) by using abnormal illness behavior questionnaire. Methods : 29 somatoform disorders(SD) and 57 disease controls were compared by clinical characteristics, severity of pain, state anxiety(by Spielberger's State & Trait Anxiety Inventory), depression(by Beck's Depression Inventory) and level of psychosocial stess(by DSM-III-R). The illness behavior was measured by illness Behavior Questionnaire(IBQ). Results SD group had longer period of somatic symptoms with less severity in pain. The degree of anxiety and depression were higher in SB compared with controls. However, the degree of psychosocial stress was almost same between both groups. In IBQ, SD showed higher scores in general hypochondriasis, disease conviction, and affective disturbance subscales compared to control group. Conclusion: High disease conviction and hypochondriacal nature revealed by IBQ seemed to be a role in making somatization by way of somatic focusing and hypervigilance. And those tended to lead patients visit hospital frequently and report various somatic complaints. Evaluating abnormal illness behavior in somatoform disorders would be not only helpful in understanding the natures of somatoform disorders but also useful differentiating SD with other psychiatric conditions.
