Description

糖尿病治療において,体重をコントロールして,肥満を防ぐことは重要な課題の一つである。今回われわれは,対象者38名の2型糖尿病患者を,肥満群(23名)と非肥満群(15名)に分類し,2型糖尿病患者における肥満と性格傾向の関連について予備調査をした。性格傾向の評価には,新版東大式エゴグラム,気分プロフィール検査,糖尿病問題領域質問表を用いた。この結果,肥満群は非肥満群に比して,計画性や客観性が低く,気分の安定性に乏しい傾向が認められた。肥満群の性格傾向からは,糖尿病治療に限らず,日常生活や対人関係においてもストレスを経験しやすいことが考えられた。したがって,肥満を伴う糖尿病患者を援助する医療スタッフは,変化ステージモデルに準拠した対応に加えて,患者がストレスマネジメントを適切に実践できるように,性格傾向にも配慮した介入を行う必要性が示唆された。

In diabetes treatment, it is necessary for patients to control their weight. In this study, we conducted a research on the personality traits of obese patients with type 2 diabetes. The subjects consisted of 38 outpatients, and the following survey instruments were administered : the Tokyo University Egogram (TEG) New Version, the Profile of Mood States (POMS), and the Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) scale. Classified into the obesity group were male patients with a body mass index of 25+ as well as a waist circumference of 85 cm +, and female patients with a body mass index of 25+ as well as a waist circumference of 90 cm+. The obesity group comprised 23 patients, while the non-obesity group comprised 15. We analyzed the result of TEG, POMS, and PAID, which indicated that it was difficult for the obesity group to make plans or take an objective view of matters. They also tended to be emotionally less stable. This study suggests that it is important for the medical staff to fully consider the personality traits of obese patients with type 2 diabetes when motivating stress management by the patients themselves.
