ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Until now, there has been little work on the association of keratoconus with psychiatric disorders. None of these address the role of ego-resiliency, which may prove crucial in coping with chronic illness.
Material and methods:
74 participants with keratoconus and 92 without this diagnosis participated in the study. The respondents were surveyed using a toolkit: the ER-89 questionnaire for ego-resiliency, the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) and the Inventory for Personality Disorders according to DSM-IV (IBZO-DSM-IV). Statistical analyses were performed using Statistica 13.3 software.
Results:
A statistically significant negative regression of optimal regulation (OR) as a component of ego-resiliency (ER) in light of avoidant personality, dependent personality, depression intensity on the HDRS, and both trait and anxiety status was evident in both the study and control groups. No statistically significant differences in ER intensity were evident between the study and control groups.
Conclusions:
Ego-resiliency reduces the intensity of anxiety and depression symptoms as well as the intensity of dependent and avoidant personality traits. Patients with keratoconus do not differ in the intensity of ego-resiliency from those without the condition.
