THE IMPORTANCE OF IMPROVING THE MENTAL STATE OF PATIENTS WITH TUBERCULOSIS

Abstract

Currently, tuberculosis is one of the most common socially significant diseases in the world and is accompanied by certain mental disorders, known as a serious somatic disease. Ipoxondric disorders occupy an important place in the psychological picture of tuberculosis. Alienation, separation personality disorder is accompanied by schizoid thinking and reasoning, which leads to a violation of mutual relations. Disorders of the psychological state are characteristic both for patients with tuberculosis, which are detected for the first time, and for men and women who have been sick for a long time. From the resulting interdependence, it follows that the replacement of the patient's usual coping strategies (moving away, avoiding) with flexible strategies (social assistance taking responsibility) can positively change the patient's attitude to the disease. This in turn leads him to achieve greater efficiency in the fight for the prospects of treatment, the recovery of Health. Almost all patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, who participated in the work of Correction and development, have increased their flexibility abilities. An important result was that the medical staff showed positive changes in the behavior of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, their willingness to show sympathy and, most importantly, their willingness to cooperate in the fight against the disease.
