“…TABP has been identified as a predisposing factor to both increased stress and a maladaptive coping response to stress [ 47 , 104 ]. TABP has been found in11% of medical students [ 38 ] compared to 26% in university students [ 39 ]. The prevalence of TABP in the present sample was approximately 12% among female students without acne and 24% in the AV sample.…”

“…Thomas [ 37 ] showed that Type B individuals experience less stress due to daily frustration, feel less pressured by too many tasks to complete, enjoy their life more, are more satisfied with their work, and have better general health than Type A people. Hisam et al [ 38 ] found a rate of TABP of approximately 11% among a large sample of medical students ( n = 500). Among Romanian university students, a high-stress level (44% of the sample), alexithymia (26%), and Type A (26%) and Type C (17%) personality patterns are much more prevalent compared to the general population, especially in medical students [ 39 ].…”

People with acne vulgaris report a lower level of satisfaction with life and are more frequently classified as having Type D personalities than those without acne. This research examined, for the first time, the moderating and mediating role of personality type in the relationship between acne severity and satisfaction with life. Among 300 female nursing and cosmetology students ranging in age from 19 to 24 years (M = 21.28, SD = 1.39), 150 individuals (50%) presented with symptoms of acne vulgaris (AV group), while the other 150 (50%) were categorized as controls without acne vulgaris (WAV sample). A cross-sectional study was conducted using three self-report questionnaires: The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), the Framingham Type A Scale (FTAS), and the Type D Scale (DS14). Acne vulgaris was clinically diagnosed using the Hellgren–Vincent Scale (HVS). The AV group scored significantly higher on the FTAS and DS14 and lower on the SWLS than the WAV sample. Life satisfaction correlated negatively with both the negative affectivity (NA) and social inhibition (SI) subscales of the DS14. The moderating role of the Type A behavioral pattern (TABP) and the mediating role of both NA and SI subscales of the DS14 were observed in the relationship between acne severity and satisfaction with life. The type of personality may explain the mechanism of the relationship between acne disease and subjective well-being. Therefore, psychological interventions and strategies focused on managing stress and mood may effectively improve satisfaction with life in people with acne.

Background/Aims: Benefits resulting from weight loss and dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH) diet in the treatment of arterial hypertension led to a search for a better therapy that would include psychological factors. The present study aimed to assess the relationship between the personality traits included in the Big Five personality traits and the effectiveness of treatment for weight loss in patients with essential hypertension and excessive body weight. Methods: The study involved 84 patients with essential hypertension, overweight or obesity, managed by a hypertensiologist. All patients underwent a 3-month diet treatment as part of the development process of an individualised eating plan that follows the principles of DASH diet and food education. Body mass index and DASH index were calculated before and after the therapy. NEO Five-Factor Inventory was applied to measure psychological variables. Results: The intervention led to a statistically significant increase of DASH index measured before and after treatment. There was a significant correlation between the increase of DASH index and gender. Patients presented higher intensity of openness to experience, extraversion, conscientiousness and lower levels of neuroticism and agreeableness compared to general population. Conclusion: The influence of psychological variables on the observed difference between men and women in DASH values and weight loss was not demonstrated.

Objective: Whenever the subject of coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarctions is discussed, the focus is usually shifted towards biological factors such as smoking, diabetes, or obesity; consequently, the management aims at addressing these factors. This paper approaches the subject from a psychosocial perspective and highlights the importance of these risk factors and their inclusion in CAD screening. Background: CAD is one of the most common diseases worldwide and also one of the leading causes of death in multiple countries. Although we have a proper understanding of its pathogenesis and risk factors, we sometimes tend to overlook the psychological factors that affect the patient both pre- and post-diagnosis. The purpose of this paper is to present these underestimated factors and convey their importance. Methods: To accomplish this, an extensive review of the literature was done using PubMed and Google Scholar, and articles were chosen based on the specified keywords. The references of these articles were also screened to identify more related studies and clinical trials. Discussion: This paper is composed of multiple subsections that go over the epidemiology of the disease as well as its pathogenesis and known biological risk factors, before delving into the psychosocial aspects associated with CAD including the effects of depression, anxiety, social support, and sex differences on a patient’s prognosis. Conclusion: CAD is a disease for which the management is through multifactorial interventions. Although the pathogenesis is well understood, there is a clear gap when it comes to appreciating the patients’ mental health when living with this diagnosis. Additionally, it has been shown that there is an increase in morbidity and mortality in the patients struggling on a psychosocial level, thus these factors should be included in the screening process.
