A Stepwise Psychotherapy Intervention for Reducing Risk in Coronary Artery Disease (SPIRR-CAD)
BACKGROUND: Depression predicts adverse prognosis in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), but previous treatment trials yielded mixed results. We tested the hypothesis that stepwise psychotherapy improves depressive symptoms more than simple information. METHODS: In a multicenter trial, we randomized 570 CAD patients scoring higher than 7 on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-depression subscale to usual care plus either one inform…
Somatic comorbidity in anorexia nervosa
BACKGROUND: Anorexia nervosa is a severe psychosomatic disease with somatic complications in the long-term course and a high mortality rate. Somatic comorbidities independent of anorexia nervosa have rarely been studied, but pose a challenge to clinical practitioners. We investigated somatic comorbidities in an inpatient cohort and compared somatically ill anorexic patients and patients without a somatic comorbidity. In order to evaluate the impa…
Cardiovascular Reactivity of Patients With Essential and Renal Hypertension in an Emotion-Triggering Interview
Blood pressure reactivity to mental stress in hypertensives is much higher than in normotensives. The authors' aim in this study was to examine whether different cardiovascular responses can be induced by various stimuli in hypertensive subgroups. The authors matched 10 essential hypertensives (EHs), 10 renal hypertensives (RHs), and 10 normotensives (Ns) according to age and gender examined them during an emotion-stimulating interview, and measu…
The Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ) Reconsidered
OBJECTIVE: The aim was to translate, revise, and standardize the Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ) by Levenstein et al. (1993) in German. The instrument assesses subjectively experienced stress independent of a specific and objective occasion. METHODS: Exploratory factor analyses and a revision of the scale content were carried out on a sample of 650 subjects (Psychosomatic Medicine patients, women after delivery, women after miscarriage, and …
Body experience and mental representation of body image in patients with haematological malignancies and cancer as assessed with the Body Grid
The domain of body image plays a central role in the quality of life of patients with haematological malignancies and metastasized cancer, since the disease itself as well as the enrolled therapies interfere with psychological and bodily well‐being. We approached this highly subjective field by using the repertory grid technique and hypothesized that patients would display a restricted body image, focusing on functional aspects of the body. In al…
