Abstract:
Objective The purposes of this study were to explore the relationship between personal-ity traits and coping strategies among primary glaucoma patients. Methods 100 patients with primary glaucoma participated the investigation adopting Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and the Medical Coping Methods Questionnaire (MCMQ). Data underwent analysis using descriptive and Spearman rank correlation methods. Results L(lie scale) was (57.83±4.13). The primary glaucoma patients usually took different coping style from norm, facing was (16.91±2.21), avoiding was (15.69±2.01), yielding was (11.54±2.03), all was significantly different than those of norm. L was evidendy negatively correlated with facing, positively correlated with avoiding. Conclusions The personality traits of primary glaucoma pa-tients are different from norm people. They usually take avoiding and yielding coping style, while facing coping style is rarely adopted. Patients with exocentric personality and easy to communicate are apt to adopt positive coping style, while in patients who are identical in emotion and lie, they may take avoiding and yielding coping styles.
