Abstract:
Objective To investigate the psychology , personality and behavior characteristics of the patients with acute angle -closure glaucoma , so as to explore the clinical significance of psychological factor in the prevention and treatment of the disease . Methods Measurement and analysis were made in 116 patients with acute angle-closure glaucoma , 56 patients with chronic angle-clo-sure glaucoma, 120 patients with cataract and 50 normal subjects, with questionnaire survey by using SCL-90, A style behavior and Ey-senck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ).Results In SCL-90, the scores of depression and anxiety in the patients with acute angle-clo-sure glaucoma were higher than those of the other 3 groups, with statistical significance(P<0.05).There was no statistical significance in the scores of 7 symptoms (somatization, obsessive-compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid ideation, psychoticism), when compared with those of the patients with chronic angle-closure glaucoma.However, statistical significance could be noted, when compared with those of the cataract and normal subjects (P<0.05).In the evaluation of questionnaire survey of A-style behavior , the scores of TH in the patients with acute angle-closure glaucoma were significantly higher than those of the other 3 groups (P<0.05).However, there was no statistical significance in the scores of CH , as compared with those of the other 3 groups. The scores of TH+CH were closely identical to those of the patients with chronic angle -closure glaucoma , without statistical signifi-cance, but they were significantly higher than those of the cataract and normal subjects (P<0.05).In EPQ questionnaire survey, no statistical significance could be seen in the scores of nervousness , introversion and extraversion , nervous emotion and masking , when comparisons were made between the patients with acute angle-closure glaucoma and chronic angle-closure glaucoma .However , there were significance differences in the scores of introversion and extraversion as well as nervousness in the patients with acute angle -closure glaucoma, as compared with those of the cataract patients and normal subjects , with statistical significance (P<0.05).Conclusion Psychological factor seems to be obviously associated with the onset of acute angle -closure glaucoma .The patients with acute angle-clo-sure glaucoma mainly display A-style personality and neurotic tendency .
