Calidad de vida y personalidad en la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal

Información del artículo

Resumen

En este artículo se revisan estudios recientes que analizan la relación entre calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS) y la personalidad con la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII). La CVRS es especialmente importante en el caso de las enfermedades crónicas, ya que el alivio de los síntomas, el retraso en su progresión y las mejorías en la calidad funcional son objetivos estratégicos del tratamiento. Algunos estudios muestran que la CVRS en pacientes con EII es significativamente más baja que en la población general. Hay pocos estudios que relacionen la personalidad con la EII y no hay homogeneidad en los resultados. Los trastornos de personalidad más prevalentes en la EII son el trastorno de personalidad por evitación y el trastorno obsesivo compulsivo de la personalidad. Se presentan algunos resultados de un estudio longitudinal que corroboran una peor CVRS en estos pacientes y la presencia de uno o más trastornos de la personalidad en un 57% de la muestra.

Abstract

The present article reviews recent studies analyzing the association between healthrelated quality of life (HRQoL) and personality in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). HRQoL is especially important in chronic diseases, since the strategic goals of treatment are to relieve symptoms, delay progression and improve functional quality. Some studies show that HRQoL in patients with IBD is significantly lower than that in the general population. Few studies have analyzed the association between personality and IBD and the results are contradictory. The most prevalent personality disorders in IBD are avoidant personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. Some results of a longitudinal study corroborating impaired HRQoL in these patients and the presence of one or more personality disorders in 57% of the sample are discussed.
