Personality Profile, Social Support and Perceived Stress in Adjustment Disorder Patients

Abstract

BACKGROUNDIn spite of being one of the commonest diagnoses in clinical practice, very few studies which are exclusively devoted to adjustment disorder have been published. Thus, we decided to study the personality profile, perceived stress and social support among patients diagnosed as having adjustment disorder.The aim of the study is to study the clinical presentations and frequency of adjustment disorder, to assess the personality dimensions, perceived stress and social support in the patients with adjustment disorders and to compare the data with that of an age and sex-matched control group.

The prevalence of adjustment disorder and predisposing factors in infertile women

“…Moura-Ramos et al (2016) observed that the duration of infertility and the number of failed assisted reproductive therapies did not affect infertile couples' emotional adjustment [ 22 ]. Several prior studies established a link between AD and perceived stress [ 36 , 53 ].…”

“…We used also chi-square test to compare different between categorical variables of AD and non-AD group. Finally, we used multivariate linear regression models with age, job, education level, medical history, history of substance abuse, marriage duration, duration of infertility, history of assisted reproductive technology failure, the total score of coronavirus anxiety, the total score of infertility stress, and total score of coronavirus anxiety [ 9 , 22 , 34 , 36 , 37 , 40 – 53 ] as independent variables along with AD symptoms and infertility stress as dependent variables in two separate models. SPSS software (v. 18) was used to analyze data.…”
