Type D Personality : Psychometric Properties of the DS14 and Associations with Ill Health and Coronary Heart Disease in General and Clinical PopulationsCondén, Emelie January 2014 (has links)
Type D personality, or distressed personality, refers to the joint tendency to experience negative emotions and to inhibit self-expression in social interactions. The overall aims of this thesis were to examine the impact of Type D personality on adolescents’ self-perceived health, to examine the factorial and temporal stability of the Type D personality construct DS14, and to clarify whether type D personality is an independent risk factor for recurrent myocardial infarction and all-cause mortality among patients with myocardial infarction. The prevalence of Type D personality in the adolescent population was 10.4% for boys and 14.6% for girls. Boys and girls with Type D personality were approximately twice as likely to report musculoskeletal pain and five times as likely to report psychosomatic symptoms. Adolescents with Type D personality were four times more likely to have sleep disturbances and to sleep fewer hours, especially on school nights. Among patients with myocardial infarction, the Swedish DS14 had stable structural validity. Our measurements confirmed the two-factor model of the DS14. However, the DS14 exhibited low temporal stability, especially when comparing the measurement obtained during hospitalization with the 1- and 12-month follow-up measurements. Among patients with myocardial infarction, the Framingham risk score had a strong predictive value for recurrent myocardial infarction, and a somewhat weaker predictive value for all-cause mortality. However, none of the previously proposed methods for the analysis of the DS14 Type D personality measurement predicted recurrent myocardial infarction or all-cause mortality, either in univariable analyses or in addition to the Framingham risk score. In conclusion, the present thesis found significant associations between the DS14 and psychosomatic symptoms in adolescents. However, the measurement exhibited a low stability over time and no predictive value for recurrent myocardial infarction and mortality among patients with myocardial infarction. Taken together, these results raise the question of whether the Swedish DS14 really is a measure of personality. An alternative explanation for the strong cross-sectional associations observed between the DS14 and psychosomatic symptoms might be that the DS14 functions as a pseudo-measure of ill health, or co-varies with depressive or psychosomatic characteristics.

Psychosoziale Risikofaktoren der Herzerkrankung: Die prädiktive Bedeutung der Typ-D-Persönlichkeit. / Psychosocial risk factors of cardiac diseases: The prognostic value of Type-D personality.Vesper, Jana Marie 03 June 2014 (has links)
HINTERGRUND: Die Typ-D-Persönlichkeit (von distressed personality) etablierte sich in den letzten Jahren als ein Risikofaktor für den Verlauf kardiovaskulärer Erkrankungen. Die bisherigen Studien waren in den Niederlanden oder Belgien durchgeführt worden. Das Ziel der hier vorliegenden Arbeit war eine unabhängige Überprüfung der Ergebnisse an einer Stichprobe deutscher kardiologischer Patienten. Zusätzlich sollte untersucht werden, ob die Typ-D-Persönlichkeit und ihre Dimensionen der negativen Affektivität (NA) und der sozialen Inhibition (SI) über den Untersuchungszeitraum stabil blieben.
METHODEN: Hierzu wurden 1040 stationär oder ambulant kardiologisch behandelte Patienten rekrutiert. Mithilfe der Typ-D-Skala (DS14) und der Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) wurden die Merkmale einer Typ-D-Persönlichkeit sowie Depressivität und Ängstlichkeit erhoben. Zusätzlich wurden klinisch relevante Daten, wie z. B. Geschlecht, Alter und kardiale Vorerkrankungen, erfasst. Endpunkt der Studie war die Gesamtmortalität. Mit Cox-Regressionsanalysen wurde das relative Sterblichkeitsrisiko der Probanden ermittelt.
ERGEBNISSE: Hinsichtlich der Stabilität von Typ-D, NA und SI ergaben sich über einen Zeitraum von 5,9 Jahren Re-Test Stabilitäten an der unteren Grenze des Erwarteten. Es gab also eine gewisse Stabilität der Typ-D-Persönlichkeit, diese war aber nicht wesentlich höher als beispielsweise die von Angst und Depressivität, und auf Ebene des individuellen Patienten kam es häufig zu Veränderungen.
Der Überlebensstatus ließ sich für 977 Studienteilnehmer ermitteln, hiervon waren 172 im Beobachtungszeitraum verstorben. In univariater und multivariater Analyse waren weder Typ-D noch NA oder SI Prädiktionsfaktoren einer höheren Gesamtmortalität. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Studien wies unsere Stichprobe ein heterogenes kardiales Erkrankungsprofil auf. Eine hierdurch bedingte Verschleierung eines Einflusses des Typ-D-Musters konnten wir durch separate Untersuchung der KHK-Patienten ausschließen.
SCHLUSSFOLGERUNG: Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass unsere Studie zu den größten zählt, die bisher zur Evaluation des Einflusses der Typ-D-Persönlichkeit auf die Gesamtmortalität kardiologischer Patienten durch-geführt worden ist. Nach mehr als 5 Jahren Beobachtungszeit, mit 5764 Menschenjahren und 172 beobachteten Todesfällen hat sie suffiziente Ausdruckskraft, relevante Effekte der Typ-D-Persönlichkeit auf die Mortalität aufzudecken. Die klare Abwesenheit dieses Effektes in univariater und multivariater Analyse legt den Schluss nahe, dass die Typ-D-Persönlichkeit und ihre Dimensionen NA und SI bei deutschen kardiologischen Patienten nicht mit einer erhöhten Mortalität assoziiert sind. Die Diskrepanz zwischen unseren Ergebnissen und den Ergebnissen von Denollet und seiner Arbeitsgruppe macht weitere Forschung an anderen Stichproben nötig. Kulturelle Unterschiede in der Verarbeitung negativer Affekte sind als mögliche Ursache unserer abweichenden Ergebnisse zu diskutieren und sollten in zukünftigen Studien weiter untersucht werden.

Factors affecting initial acceptance of, and subsequent compliance with, continuous positive airway pressure treatment for Obstructive Sleep ApnoeaGulati, Atul January 2017 (has links)
Background: Compliance with CPAP treatment for OSA is not reliably predicted by the severity of symptoms or physiological variables. I conducted a series of studies to examine a range of factors that may affect compliance with CPAP. Methods: I performed a retrospective study examining association of demographic factors and OSA severity with long-term CPAP compliance. In a prospective study, I looked at the correlation of short and long-term CPAP compliance with socio-economic status, education, type D personality, demographics, disease severity, mood and clinician's prediction. I undertook a prospective, cross-over trial comparing the impact of Bi-level PAP therapy in individuals with low tolerance of CPAP. Results: In a retrospective analysis, an improvement in subjective daytime somnolence was correlated with optimal compliance. In the prospective study, median compliance with CPAP at 6 months was 5.6 (3.4- 7.1) hours/night with 73% of subjects using CPAP ≥ 4 hours/night. Compliance with CPAP was not found to be associated with socio-economic class for people in work, type D personality, education, sex, age, baseline sleepiness (ESS score) or disease severity (ODI). The clinician's initial impression had no predictive value for individual patients. Subjects who were long-term unemployed or reporting mood disorders (High Beck's Depression Index scores) were likely to have poor compliance and sub-optimal CPAP usage (OR 4.6, p = 0.011 and OR 1.4. p=0.04 respectively). Subjects experiencing side effects after the first night on treatment showed lower acceptance and subsequent compliance. In the cross-over trial, changing to Bi-level PAP in individuals with suboptimal compliance due to pressure related intolerance, did not lead to an improvement in CPAP compliance. In post-hoc analysis, compliance and comfort were better in the subgroup that complained of difficulty with exhalation on CPAP. Conclusion: My research as presented in this thesis, did not find an association between disease severity (ODI), socio-economic status (for people in employment), education or personality type and CPAP compliance. My research demonstrated that subjects with long-term unemployment, mood disorders and those experiencing side effects on the first night of treatment were likely to have sub-optimal compliance. Changing to Bi-level PAP is only likely to be useful for a sub-group of subjects experiencing pressure related intolerance. More research is needed to explore whether intensive support to individuals with OSA and long term unemployment, as well as mood disorders, may improve compliance.
