Objective:To explore the level of health anxiety (HA) and its influencing factors in asthmatic patients. Methods:One hundred and forty asthmatic patients and 143 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled in this study. Asthmatic patients completed a series of questionnaires, including asthma control test (ACT), Chinese version short health anxiety inventory (CSHAI), Zung self-rating depression scale (SDS), 20-item Toronto alexithymia scale (TAS-20) and Eysenck personality quesionnaire (EPQ), and HCs were assessed by CSHAI. Results:The prevalence of HA in asthmatic patients was 30.71%. Compared with non-HA asthmatic patients, patients with HA had significant higher scores of SDS, TAS total, the first factor of TAS, and neuroticism. CSHAI, Illness Likelihood (IL) and Negative Consequence (NC) were positively correlated with SDS, the first factor of TAS and Neuroticism, respectively. The above three variables accounted for 36.3% in the regression, which was used to predict HA. Conclusion:HA is serious in asthmatic patients, and is also influenced by depressive emotion, difficulty in identifying and distinguishing feelings, and neuroticism. Psychological intervention and self-management are essential for patients with asthma. |
