Abstract

To find out the psycho-social characteristics of diabetic patients, we analyzed the behavior traits of 98 NIDDM patients (mean age, 59 ±10 years; duration of DM, 8 ±7 years ; males, 46; females, 52) admitted to Osaka Rosai Hospital for a 2-week program of diabetic education and treatment. The rorschach test was given to all patients under the same conditions and by the same examiner. Results of the test were compared with the data of 83 patients (mean age, 59 ±10 years; males, 50; females, 33) admitted during the same period for coronary catheterization for heart disease. There were no significant differences in fundamental responses to the Rorschach test between the two groups. However, in NIDDM patient, responses of “lack of feedback ” and the responses to “flower categorization in colored cards ” were significantly fewer, and there were significantly more responses to shaded cards. In diabetic patients without complications, significantly more patients indicated a “pseude-integration” response to color. Significantly more poorly controlled diabetic patients (HbA1c ≥9.0%), showed a one-sided attitude.<BR>This study suggests that application of the results of behavior trait analysis in the treatment and education of diabetic patients is essential.
