PSYCHOSOMATIC STATE AND PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS OF THE UZBEK POPULATION FOR MANIFESTATIONS AND DEVELOPMENT OF NEUROCIRCULATORY DYSTONIA

Abstract

The relevance of studying the personality characteristics of children with vegetovascular dystonia (VVD) is dictated by the fact that many psychosomatic disorders originate in childhood and autonomic disorders are their primary manifestations. According to the literature, among the children with non-communicable diseases who go to the doctor, 50-75% are patients with VVD. Purpose of the study. Study of the influence of the mental state and personality characteristics of patients on the manifestations and development of NCD in children and adolescents of the Uzbek population. Material and methods. We studied 43 patients with NCD (18 boys and 25 girls) aged 7 to 16 years with hypotonic, hypertensive and cardiac types. In the examined group of patients with NCD, children with hypertensive (46.5%) type prevailed. Patients (39.5%) were diagnosed with hypotonic NCD, and in 14 patients with cardiac type. For the study of individual - typological and personal characteristics of children, in addition to clinical and pedagogical observations, traditional experimental - psychological methods were used, allowing the most differentiated approach to the analysis of the personality of a sick child. Results: patients with NCD are characterized by a pronounced increase in emotional stress, difficulty in making interpersonal contacts and contributing to the violation of the psycho-vegetative regulation of the individual. The predominance of the desire for well-mannered forms of behavior, combined with conscious self-control, prevents the reaction of negative emotions, which contributed to the long-term preservation of emotional stress and further difficulties in adaptation. Patients with NCD usually had combinations of disharmonious personality traits, which led to the appearance of intrapsychic conflicts between dominant and mutually exclusive types of needs. The actual mental state of children with NDC determined by the Kettell method as a whole manifests itself as a personality of a highly neurotic response, which confirms the connection between NDC and personality traits. Conclusions: These intrapsychic conflicts underlay violations of social adaptation in the school and family spheres, and also prevented psycho-vegetative adaptation, which manifested itself in psychopathological and vegetative-somatic disorders in this disease.
