Abstract:

Aim: It is known that in patients with Diabetic Foot Syndrome severe forms of mental disadaptation are observed. They are manifested psycho-emotional disorders and poor treatment compliance. The aim of this work was to study the forms of mental disadaptation in patients with Diabetic Foot Syndrome and the role of psychological and somatic factors in their development. Method: The following parameters: Levels of anxiety and depression, alexithymia, irrational cognitive principles, personality profile, severity of somatic disorders and treatment compliance were studied in 120 Diabetic Foot Syndrome patients. Result: The study revealed two main groups of patients with various forms of mental disadaptation and some relationship of psycho-emotional and somatic disorders. In the first patientâ??s group with severe form mental disadaptation, there were observed high level of alexithymia, depression, the prevalence of psychopathic personality types, combined with deep encephalopathy, cognitive disorders and long duration of disease. A poor compliance of treatment, the progressive deterioration of the disease, large number of lower limb amputations was observed also in this group of patients. In the second patientsâ?? group with less severe form of mental disadaptation, there were observed small level of alexithymia, high anxiety and the prevalence of neurotic personality types and a shorter duration of disease. A good treatment compliance and smaller number of lower limb amputation was also observed in this group of patients. Conclusion: The study identified two main groups of patients with various forms of mental disadaptation, which depends on the severity of psycho-emotional and somatic disorders.
