Abstract

Lung function, exercise performance (6MWD), dispnoea (baseline and post exercises Borg scale), personality disadaptation (MMPI-profile) and quality of life (SF-36) were studied in 58 invalids (mean age 39; female 28, FEV1=56±]4,4% predicted) with moderate and severe asthma. Psychophysiological investigation showed boundary profile with neurotic declination in invalids with asthma. That testifies presents of psychosomatic predisposition and significant level of anxiety in this patients. We studied interrelation between personality feature, quality of life and exercise performance. Hypochondria and Depression scores were correlated with post-exercise Borg dyspnoea score (r=0.375, p<0.01; r=0.270, p<0.05) and baseline dyspnoea (r=0.307, p<0.05; r=0.342, p<0.01). The relation between Psychashtenia and 6MWD (r=-0.304, p<0.05) and post-exercise Borg dyspnoea score (r=0.363, p<0.01) was moderate. The influence of post-exercise dyspnoea on Physical Functioning (SF-36) domain was significant (r=-0.481, p<0.01; η2=32%, p<0.01, Anova) and Role-Physical domain (r=0.364, p<0.01). Neurotic triad negative corretated with Physical Functioning domain (SF-36): Hysteria (r=0.378, p<0.01), Depression (r=0.345, p<0.01), Hypochondria (r=0.445, p<0.01). Personality feature significantly influenced on physical activity and dyspnoea on physical exertion and as results – on a quality of life in patients with asthma.
