IntroductionPsychosocial factors have been implicated as being important in the onset and/or exacerbation of urticaria.AimTo examine both personality factors of patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU) and the correlations between illness duration, severity of itching, urticaria activity score (UAS) and temperament-character dimensions.Material and methodsA total number of 70 CIU patients and 60 healthy individuals were included in the study. The Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) was administered individually. The relationship between UAS, illness duration and severity of pruritus and TCI subscales were evaluated.ResultsThe CIU group had significantly higher scores of novelty seeking and lower scores of cooperativeness, reward dependence and self-directedness than the control group.ConclusionsThe current study shows that CIU patients have distinctive temperament and character dimensions when compared with the control group. We suggest that evaluation and treatment of CIU should also include psychosomatic approaches in clinical practice.

“…Lower scores in Purposefulness (SD2), Resourcefulness (SD3), and total Self Directedness (SD) scores indicated that PFH patients might have difficulty to define, set, and pursue meaningful goals [8,10]. Low self-directedness scores of PFH cases seem compatible with results of other similar psychosomatic diseases [15-17]. It is inevitable that these individual’s success to tolerate stress and to cope with stress is low.…”

BackgroundPrimary focal hyperhidrosis is a health problem, which has negative effects on the patient's quality of life and significantly affects the patients’ daily activities, social and business life. The aim of this study is to evaluate temperament and character properties of patients diagnosed with primary focal hyperhidrosis.MethodsFifty-six primary focal hyperhidrosis (22.42 ± 7.80) and 49 control subjects (24.48 ± 5.17) participated in the study. Patients who met the diagnostic criteria for PFH were referred to psychiatry clinic where the subjects were evaluated through Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Disorders-I and Temperament and Character Inventory.ResultsIn order to examine the difference between the PFH and control group in terms of temperament and character properties, one-way Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was conducted. In terms of temperament properties, PFH group took significantly higher scores than control group in Fatigability and asthenia dimension. In terms of character properties, PFH group scored significantly lower than control group in Purposefulness , Resourcefulness , Self-Directedness and scored significantly higher than control group in Self-forgetfulness and Self-Transcendence.ConclusionTemperament and character features of PFH patients were different from healthy group and it was considered that these features were affected by many factors including genetic, biological, environmental, socio-cultural elements. During the follow-up of PFH cases, psychiatric evaluation is important and interventions, especially psychotherapeutic interventions can increase the chances of success of the dermatological treatments and can have a positive impact on the quality of life and social cohesion of chronic cases.

ÖZETAmaç: Yazında ve ruh sağlığı uygulamaları içinde, psikopatolojileri anlarken hem gelişimsel hem de yapısal özelliklerin rolünün büyük olduğu bildirilmektedir. Bu çalışmada araştırılan temel soru erken kayıpların, bağlanma biçimlerinin, duygu düzenlemenin ve mizaç-karakter özel-liklerinin psikopatoloji üzerinde nasıl bir etkisinin olduğunu incelemektir. Ayrıca, duygu düzenleme ve bağlanmanın zarardan kaçınma mizaç boyutu ve psikopatoloji arasındaki aracı rolünün sınanması da bir diğer amaçtır.Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklemi, klinik grup (n = 224) ve sağlıklı kontrol grubu (n = 61) olmak üzere iki grupta toplam 285 katılımcıdan oluşmuştur. Klinik grup, majör depresif bozukluk (n = 78), anksiyete bozukluğu (n = 74) ve somatizasyon bozukluğu (n = 72) hastalarını içermiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak, Duygu Düzenlemede Güçlükler Ölçeği, Bilişsel Duygu Düzenleme Ölçeği, Yakın İlişkilerde Yaşantılar Envanteri-II, Mizaç Karakter Envanteri, Beck Depresyon Envanteri, Beck Anksiyete Envanteri ve Erken Kayıpları Araştırma Formu kullanılmıştır.Bulgular: Klinik grubun erken dönem ebeveyn kaybını kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı seviyede daha fazla yaşadığı görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte, klinik grubun sağlıkla gruba göre hem kaygılı hem de kaçıngan bağlanma örüntülerinin daha belirgin olduğu; duygu düzenlemede daha fazla güçlük yaşadıkları ve uyuma yönelik bilişsel duygu düzenleme stratejilerini daha az, uyuma yönelik olmayan bilişsel duygu düzen-leme stratejilerini daha fazla kullandıkları; zarardan kaçınma mizaç puanlarının belirgin biçimde daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Ek olarak, klinik grupta, hem bağlanmanın hem de duygu düzenlemenin zarardan kaçınma ile depresyon ve anksiyete arasında kısmi aracı etkilerinin olduğu saptanmıştır.Sonuç: Bu araştırmanın bulgularıyla, hem yapısal hem de erken dönem çevresel etmenlerin psikopatolojiye yatkınlaştırıcı etkilerinin olduğu ve özellikle depresyon ve anksiyetenin etiyolojisini anlamada önemli yer tuttuğunu gösterilmiştir.Anahtar Sözcükler: Psikopatoloji, bağlanma, erken kayıplar, duygu düzenleme, mizaç ve karakter The Impact of Early Losses, Attachment, TemperamentCharacter Traits and Affect Regulation On The Development of PsychopathologyObjective: The role of developmental issues and the constitutional factors are crucial in conceptualization of psychopathology.
