Book excerpt: Background and Aims:Modern medicine postulates that one of the reasons for disregulation of blood pressure (BP) is prolonged emotional tension in stress conditions. The purpose of this research was to conduct an analysis of personality characteristics of middle-age EH patients with increased BP variability when compared to patients with normal BP variability.Methods:The study involved 59 patients with increased BP variability (group 1), average age was 53.6u00b16.1, and 41 EH patients with normal BP variability (group 2), average age was 50.2u00b17.3. All of patients had uncomplicated EH, stage 1-2. Participants performed the following assessment: Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF), Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ), Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), and Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale by P. Hewitt and G. Flett.Results:EH patients from group 1 differ from the second group patients by higher rates Q1-factor (Openness to change, Flexibility) (5,93u00b11,99 vs 4,95u00b12,31; p=0,04), and lower rates of factor O (Apprehension, worrying, self-blaming) (3,98u00b11,76 vs 5,05u00b11,94; p=0,006) and factor Q4 (Tension, Frustration, Over wrought) (4,14u00b11,76 vs 5,08u00b12,01; p=0,018) - in 16PF. However, the first group patients are significant more often use a u201cRefocus on planningu201d (16,0u00b13,0 vs 15,1u00b12,9; p=0,01) as an effective strategy of regulating emotions in CERQ, and they have significantly lower scores on the scale u201cOther-oriented perfectionismu201d (45,5u00b116,9 vs 52,1u00b115,4; p=0,03).Conclusions:The results show the u201cpsychological complexityu201d of EH patients with increased BP variability. It is permissible to assume that they significantly more frequently than patients from the second group are more prone to repression of their emotions.The research was supported by RFBR; project u2116 17-06-00954.
