The effect of pulmonary tuberculosis on the mental state of adolescents

Аннотация

A comparative assessment of the psychological characteristics of adolescents with pulmonary tuberculosis. The personal characteristics of 100 adolescents aged 13-17 treated at the Samarkand Regional Center for Tuberculosis and Pulmonology, as well as various features of newly diagnosed respiratory tuberculosis, were studied, including 58 (58%) girls and 42 (42%) boys. Patients with MDR-TB see themselves as altruistic, more likely to feel willing to sacrifice their own interests, help others, and show compassion. Such adolescents tend to make a pleasant impression on others and idealize interpersonal relationships that typically show tenderness, sensitivity, and compassion for them (p <0.05). In adolescents with pulmonary tuberculosis with widespread processes, personality traits that determine the formation of neurosis were observed: insecurity, emotional instability, anxiety, weakness.
