“…This could help with detecting participants who are more vulnerable to the correct maintenance of their psychological health and who may have post-donation complications, which would justify the previous psychosocial evaluation of the candidate. As for the scores obtained in Axis I and Axis II, the average of score of the total sample did not exceed 75, with these results being similar to other studies that utilized the MCMI-III as an instrument for the evaluation of the PLKD [14,16]. The percentage of participants with scores 75–84, or above 85 were higher in the scales “histrionic”, “compulsive” and “narcissistic” from Axis II, and in the scales “anxiety disorder” and “bipolar-manic disorder” from Axis I.…”

“…Recent studies [14,16,21], have searched for the relationship between personality profiles and psychological factors of the PLKD, but none of them have conducted a multivariate analysis in order to classify the donors into homogeneous groups according to personality, analyzing their possible influence with the associated psychopathology.…”

“…As stated in some studies, there seems to be an influence between the personality profiles of the PLKD and their psychological health. The dysfunctional personality profiles in the living donor can determine the coping strategies for the acting roles and independent decisions [14,16]. Thus, an evaluation of the personality before the donation, with a classification according to the personality cluster, would allow grouping the living donors based on their personality profiles, to be able to detect the more dysfunctional profiles and be able to monitor the individuals throughout the entire process of donation.…”

Background The previous psychosocial evaluation of the potential living kidney donors (PLKD) requires a detailed understanding of the psychosocial benefits and the possible damages of the act of donation. Objective The aim was to create clusters by using the clinical patterns of personality and to evaluate their influence on psychopathological variables. Methods Observational, analytical and cross-sectional study that included the PLKD from February 2009 to March 2017. The patients were referred to the Hospital Psychology Unit by the Transplant Coordination Unit. The total sample was composed of 100 participants. The socio-demographic characteristics, the relationship with the recipient and the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory were included. Results The final sample was composed by 100 PLKD. The mean age of the participants was 45.70, and most were women (70%). The analysis showed a final result of 3 personality clusters that best represented the data, in agreement with the DSM-5 classification. The PLKD from cluster 3 obtained greater scores in all the clinical syndromes. Conclusions The personality evaluation of the PLKD could help with the planning of monitoring protocols of the participants who were classified to cluster 3, in order to improve their post-transplant psychosocial adjustment. This result makes us consider the usefulness of the psychosocial evaluation to preserve the psychological health of the PLKD.

“…Another path from surgency to low registration was provided. As low registration is equivalent to conscientiousness (Dunn, 2001 ), surgency includes the characteristic of impulsivity and should correlate negatively with conscientiousness (Grist and McCord, 2010 ), a characteristic that can “range from organized, thorough, and responsible to careless, disorderly, and slipshod” (Rothbart, 2011 , p. 193). This alternative model shows an adequate fit [

Poor motor skills and differences in sensory processing have been noted as behavioral markers of common neurodevelopmental disorders. A total of 171 healthy children (81 girls, 90 boys) were investigated at age 3 to examine relations between temperament, sensory processing, and motor coordination. Using the Japanese versions of the Children's Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ), the Sensory Profile (SP-J), and the Little Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (LDCDQ), this study examines an expanded model based on Rothbart's three-factor temperamental theory (surgency, negative affect, effortful control) through covariance structure analysis. The results indicate that effortful control affects both sensory processing and motor coordination. The subscale of the LDCDQ, control during movement, is also influenced by surgency, while temperamental negative affect and surgency each have an effect on subscales of the SP-J.

Comparison of the CBA-H and SF-36 for the screening of the psychological and behavioural variables in chronic dialysis patients

The aim of the study was to perform an analysis of the emotional reactions, perception of stressful life and behavioural changes related to Haemodialysis (HD) in order to identify those variables that can improve lifestyle and the adherence to treatment. Some psychometric assessment, such as the Cognitive Behavioural Assessment, Hospital Form, (CBA-H) and the Health Survey (SF-36), which provides two indexes: the Physical Component Score (PCS) and the Mental Component Score (MCS), are suitable to assess a patient’s psychological and behavioural style and their health-related quality of life. The study involved 37 Italian out-patients with end-stage renal disease under HD therapy. We calculated the Spearman correlation between variables of CBA-H, SF-36, age and time on HD. We also performed a multivariate linear regression using the CBA-H variables as predictors and PCS and MCS as dependent variables. From the CBA-H, 95% of participants self-reported psychological characteristics comparable to Type A personality, which identifies an anxious, hyperactive and hostile subject. Physical limitations were found to be directly proportional to the time on dialysis (rs = -0.42). The condition of perceived stress worsens the state of mental health (rs = -0.68) and general health perception (rs = -0.44). The condition of vital exhaustion correlates both the PCS and the MCS (p<0.01) with possible outcomes of physical and mental illness. The psychological wellbeing of a dialyzed patient could be due to the combination of several factors, including life parameters, the positive perception of psychosocial outcomes, and the perceived quality of life. A multidisciplinary team (neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and nurses) is essential to plan effective psychological and psychotherapeutic interventions to improve a mind-body integration.
