Abstract
Relevance. The internal picture of disease (IPD) is the set of perceptions a person has about their disease; it is the result of the mental evaluation that a patient undertakes as they become aware of their condition. Correcting one’s attitude towards their disease through psychological means creates conditions for improving the patient’s condition, preventing relapses, and alleviating anxiety. Studying the IPD is a crucial task for healthcare professionals and a significant component in analyzing the patient’s disease.
Intention. The aim of the study was to clarify the IPD in patients in an ophthalmological clinic and to prevent anxiety-depressive disorders, neuroses and psychosomatic diseases.
Methodology. The assessment was conducted using the TOBOL questionnaire developed at the Saint Petersburg Research Institute of Phthisiopulmonology. The study involved 300 patients with various ophthalmological conditions. It should be noted that the study was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Each patient was asked to select two statements that best represented their experience from each set of statements and to circle the corresponding numbers on the registration sheet. Average scores were considered across the ophthalmological profile.
Results. The most frequent responses were those characteristic of paranoid and dysphoric (aggressive) types of attitude to the disease. Hypochondriacal and asthenic types were also frequently observed. Conclusion. The methods of personalized individual and group psychoprophylaxis used in the study yielded positive effects in 67 patients (39.9%) of relatively young age.
