Description

Personality traits of 51 patients, participating in our diabetes education program, were measured by Picture-Frustration Study, and patient compliance was evaluated in terms of the amount of knowledge, familiarity with the food exchange list, the skill to make reasonable meal plans and learning attitude. The following characteristics contributed positively to the attainment of good compliance. 1) Intraggression: in which one attributes the cause of frustration to oneself followed by attempts to solve the difficulty. 2) Ability for self-reflection. 3) Imaggression: in which one considers accidents which occur as luck, fate or chance. These individuals accept a situation with patience. 4) Maturity of psychological development. On the other hand, extraggression, the tendency to impute the cause of frustration to others and to depend on them for solving difficulties, showed a negative correlation with the effects of diabetes education. Gender and age had partial effects on the amount of knowledge but no effects on the attainment of diet therapy.<BR>Our results suggest that recognition of the personality traits of each patient is necessary before enrollment in a diabetes education program so that the mode of education can be adjusted to the patient.
