Alexithymia in patients with chronic low back pain
Mrlinová, Lenka ; Niederlová, Markéta (referee) ; Loneková, Katarína (referee)
Alexithymia is an impaired regulation of emotions: it is the inability to identify and verbalize own feelings and emotions. It is a deficit in the ability to adapt to challenging, emotional and relationalship situations and is therefore considered as an important factor in the psychosomatic illness. The first part of this work explains origin of the term alexethymia from psychosomatic tradition and also diagnostic methods. This raises questions about its investigation in the context of contemporary medical treatment. The empirical part of the work experimentally tests two methods of measurement of alexithymia: a questionnaire TAS-20 and Alexithymia index on Rorschach test. Compares alexithymia rate in patients with chronic low lumbar spine pain that are indicated for operative treatment with the general population. Results demonstrate the likely low alexithymia in group of patients. Contributing to the basic objectives of the work: approximation to the population with chronic back pain, a contribution to alexithymia diagnosis, differentiation of the less psychosomatic from those where alexithymia in the etiopathogenesis of pain plays major role. It is also regarded as important and in particular the indication of optimal psychotherapeutic approach.
