Long COVID-19 Enigma: Unmasking the Role of Distinctive Personality Profiles as Risk Factors. J Clin Med 2024; 13:2886. [PMID: 38792428 PMCID: PMC11122355 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13102886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Revised: 05/04/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: The COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic has prompted extensive research into lingering effects, especially in 'Long COVID' patients. Despite exploration, contributing factors remain elusive; Objective: This study explores the potential link between distinctive personality profiles, particularly type D personality, and an increased risk of Long COVID; Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study at Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center's Post-COVID clinic analyzed data from 373 Long COVID patients through comprehensive questionnaires covering Long COVID syndrome, Fibromyalgia criteria, personality assessments, social support, and subjective evaluations of cognitive decline, health and life quality. In total, 116 out of 373 patients completed the questionnaire, yielding a 31% participation rate; Results: Cluster analysis revealed two groups, with Cluster 1 (N = 58) exhibiting Type D personality traits while Cluster 2 (N = 56) not meeting criteria for Type D personality. In comparison to Cluster 2, Cluster 1 patients reported heightened anxiety, depression, reduced social support, increased pain symptoms, manifestations of fibromyalgia, cognitive decline, and poor sleep quality, contributing to a diminished quality-of-life perception; Conclusions: findings highlight diverse personality profiles among Long COVID patients, emphasizing the need for tailored care. This approach shows potential for improving Long COVID patient care, aligning with the evolving personalized medicine paradigm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type D personality has been associated with adverse clinical outcomes and poor quality of life in many diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of type D personality on pain, anxiety and depression, sleep quality, and quality of life in 50 patients with fibromyalgia syndrome. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty patients with fibromyalgia and 50 healthy controls were included in the study. Baseline and post-treatment evaluations encompassed a comprehensive battery of assessment tools: socio-demographic questionnaire, visual analog scale for pain, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory, Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, SF-36 Short Form Questionnaire, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The effects of type D personality traits on clinical parameters were determined by evaluating the participants with the D-Type Personality Scale (DS-14). RESULTS Twelve participants (24%) in the control group and 30 patients (60%) in the fibromyalgia group had type D personality traits, and the difference was significant (P<0.001). The Beck Anxiety Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory scores were significantly higher, and the SF-36 domains of vitality and mental health were significantly lower in fibromyalgia patients with type D personality (P=0.023, P=0.036, P=0.002, P>0.001). CONCLUSIONS This study draws attention to the high prevalence of type D personality in patients with fibromyalgia and demonstrates that this personality trait has a negative impact on patients' clinical parameters.

Rheumatol Int 2023; 43:2261-2269. [PMID: 37776500 DOI: 10.1007/s00296-023-05471-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/02/2023]
Abstract
To evaluate the relation of psychosocial parameters and type D personality with central sensitization in knee osteoarthritis (OA). The study included 126 patients with knee OA according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria. Sociodemographic variables (age, gender, education, marital status, annual income), alcohol consumption/smoking, body mass index, comorbidities, and duration of symptoms were noted. Radiographic evaluation was performed according to the Kellgren-Lawrence grading system. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index was used for clinical evaluation. Type D personality, negative affectivity, and social inhibition were evaluated using the type D Scale-14 (DS14). Central sensitization was assessed by the central sensitization inventory (CSI), while psychological status, quality of life, and sleep were assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), an abbreviated version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument (WHOQOL-BREF), and the Jenkins Sleep Evaluation Scale (JSS), respectively. The effect of type D personality on study parameters including central sensitization, as well as the risk factors for the development of central sensitization were assessed by regression analyses. Patients with type D personality had higher CSI, HADS scores and lower WHOQOL-BREF scores for psychological health, social relationship, environment and general quality of life. Linear regression analysis showed that the DS14 total score has a significant positive relation with CSI (β = 0.4, p < 0.05), HADS-depression (β = 0.4, p < 0.05), HADS-anxiety (β = 0.5, p < 0.05), and HADS-total scores (β = 0.5, p < 0.05). It also had a significant negative effect on all domains of WHOQOL-BREF (p < 0.05 for all). Logistic regression analysis revealed that JSS [Odds ratio (OR) 0.83, 95% CI 0.73-0.94; p = 0.003] and negative affectivity (OR 0.78, 95% CI 0.65-0.94; p = 0.008) were independent risk factors for the development of central sensitization in knee OA. Type D personality has an impact on quality of life, central sensitization, and psychological health, with negative affectivity and sleep impairment serving as independent risk factors for central sensitization. While managing patients with knee OA, these intimate relationships should be taken into consideration.

[PMID: 36959040 DOI: 10.1016/j.pmn.2023.02.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2022] [Revised: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Most patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) experience pain, and their quality of life (QoL) is poor. AIMS This study aimed to identify predictors of QoL, including demographic, clinical, physical, and psychosocial characteristics, in chronic pain patients with DCM receiving non-surgical management. DESIGN A descriptive study design was used. SETTING Participants were recruited at the pain clinic at a university hospital in Seoul, South Korea. PARTICIPANTS/SUBJECTS The subjects included 157 inpatients and outpatients with DCM receiving non-surgical management. METHODS We administered a written, structured, self-reported questionnaire, which included standard validated measures for the main variables of interest. RESULTS The median number of pain sites was two, and the average and most pain severities were 4.63 ± 2.35 and 5.71 ± 2.32 out of 10 within one month, respectively. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that depression, education level, and headache were factors influencing physical QoL. Depression, education level, and marital status were factors influencing psychological QoL, whereas depression and education level were factors influencing social relationships QoL. Finally, the factors influencing environmental QoL were depression, educational level, and marital status. CONCLUSIONS Demographic characteristics, including educational level and marital status, clinical characteristics, including pain site, and psychological characteristics, including depression, were identified as factors influencing QoL in chronic pain patients with DCM receiving non-surgical management. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS Healthcare professionals should consider demographic, clinical, and psychological characteristics when evaluating patients... QoL. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the QoL of participants who are single and have lower levels of education, headache pain, and high levels of depression. These patients are likely to have low QoL and strategies to improve their QoL should be developed.

Abstract
Type D personality is characterized by social inhibition and negative affectivity. Poorer outcomes and worse quality of life have been linked to type D personality in patients with a variety of non-dermatological diseases. Despite increasing evidence of the importance of type D personality in skin diseases, there are no reviews on this subject. The aim of this review is to summarize the current evidence regarding type D personality and skin diseases. A systematic search was performed using Medline and Web of Science databases from inception to 11 October 2022. Studies addressing the presence of type D personality, its associated factors, its impact on the outcomes of the disease or the quality of life of the patients were included in the systematic review. A total of 20 studies, including 3,124 participants, met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review. Acne, hidradenitis suppurativa, psoriasis, melanoma, atopic dermatitis, chronic spontaneous urticaria and pruritic disorders were the main diseases assessed. Type D personality was more frequent among patients with skin diseases than among controls. Type D personality was found to be associated with poorer quality of life and higher rates of psychological comorbidities in patients with skin diseases. In conclusion, type D personality appears to be a marker of patients with increased risk of poorer quality of life and higher rates of psychological comorbidities. Screening for type D personality in specialized dermatology units might be beneficial to identify patients who are more psychologically vulnerable to the consequences of chronic skin diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to evaluate the relationship between Type D personality, depression, perceived social support, and disease activity in women with fibromyalgia (FM). DESIGN AND METHODS One hundred and forty women applied to the physical medicine rehabilitation outpatient clinic between October 2019 and February 2020 who also had been diagnosed with FM were recruited. Age, occupation, marital status, chronic diseases, body mass index, duration of FM, smoking and alcohol use, sleep patterns, difficulty with daily work and self-care, physical therapy, and rehabilitation status were all recorded as demographic data of subjects. All patients participating in the study were evaluated with a Type D Personality Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). FINDINGS It has been determined that more than half of the women diagnosed with FM had the disease for more than 2 years, the average age was 46, 70% of patients were 40 years or older, more than half were overweight or obese and 63.6% had Type D personality. Eighty-nine women diagnosed with FM had a Type D personality and a significant correlation was found between Type D personality and depression, VAS, FIQ, and the subparameters of MSPSS. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS The determination of a relationship between the Type D personality and depression, VAS, FIQ, and MSPSS in women with FM plays a very important role in the care of FM in terms of treatment and prognosis and it can be said that determining the personality traits of such patients may be beneficial for clinicians.

Abstract
This study examines psychological and physical influences on the distress and well-being of patients with chronic rheumatic diseases. The study aims were to (1) evaluate the relative contribution of objective disease activity and psychological factors on the wellbeing of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE); (2) to compare the psychological distress of SLE patients to fibromyalgia (FM) patients and healthy controls, and to (3) characterize subgroups of patients by performing cluster analysis using psychological variables. Participants were ascertained from closed forums and social media channels resulting in 41 women with a diagnosis of SLE, 47 with a diagnosis of FM, and 77 healthy controls (HC). Hierarchical linear regression for well-being of SLE patients found that most of the variance was accounted for by social support. Cluster analysis performed on the entire sample identified two clusters, a distressed group tending to Type D personality, anxiety and depression, low in well-being and social support, and a resilient group; the proportion of resilient individuals was highest in the HC intermediate in the SLE group and lowest in the FM group. The importance of psychological variables vs disease severity in these two rheumatic diseases for wellbeing is demonstrated by these results. The results suggest that psychological interventions that enhance the experience of social support in medical settings, might benefit patients with both diseases, and be of particular importance to the well-being of patients who are more distressed.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the association of Type D personality (TDP) with functional outcomes, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and neuropathic pain in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI), using dichotomous and continuous analysis methods. SETTING Tertiary rehabilitation center. METHODS This study included 105 persons with SCI. Independence level was determined using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM)-motor subscale. The Short Form-36 questionnaire (SF-36) was used to assess HRQoL. TDP (combined existence of negative affectivity and social inhibition) was assessed using Type D Scale-14 (DS-14). Presence of chronic pain was questioned and the Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs (LANSS) Pain Scale was used to distinguish neuropathic pain from others. RESULTS In dichotomous method, the FIM-motor score was significantly lower in persons with TDP (41 persons, 39%) (p = 0.025). Persons with TDP had significantly lower scores in vitality, emotional role and mental health. There was no significant difference between the groups, regarding neuropathic pain and LANSS scores (p > 0.05 for all). Negative affectivity and total DS-14 scores had negative correlation with mental health and vitality. In continuous interaction method, TDP predicted mainly the mental health components of SF-36 (particularly, vitality and mental health). Negative affectivity was the driving factor. TDP was not associated with FIM-motor, VAS pain or LANSS scores. CONCLUSIONS Mental component of HRQoL is associated with Type D in persons with SCI in both analyses. Assessment of potential differences related with TDP may be beneficial to develop and apply person-specific goals in SCI rehabilitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The World Health Organization included burnout syndrome criteria that reduce both professional quality of life and work satisfaction in its 11th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases in 2019 while nursing bodies have issued action calls to prevent burnout syndrome. Despite this, the effect of social factors, personality traits and cross-interaction on professional quality of life is still unclear. AIM To reveal the association between ethical climate, personal trait and professional quality of life. METHOD An online survey of registered nurses working in adult, pediatric or both ICUs. We used the ten-item personality measure based on The Big Five theory and Type-D personality Scale-14 then measured the ethical climate with the Hospital Ethical Climate Survey and the professional domains of burnout syndrome, secondary traumatic stress and compassion satisfaction by the Professional Quality of Life Scale Version 5 simultaneously. Multivariate analysis confirmed the triangular association of hospital ethical climate, personality traits and professional quality of life. RESULT We enrolled 310 participants from September 2019 to February 2020. Mean age was 33.1 years (± 5.9) and about 70% were female. In the multivariate analysis, neuroticism (p = 0.03, p = 0.01) and Type D personality (both of p<0.01) were associated with burnout syndrome and secondary traumatic stress while agreeableness (p<0.01) was associated with secondary traumatic stress. Conversely, extraversion (p = 0.01), agreeableness (p<0.01) and openness (p<0.01) were associated with compassion satisfaction. We also observed interactions between hospital ethical climate and conscientiousness (p = 0.01) for burnout syndrome and secondary traumatic stress. Neuroticism was related to (p<0.01) BOS and compassion satisfaction while Type D personality (p<0.01) correlated with burnout syndrome and secondary traumatic stress. CONCLUSION Hospital ethical climate strongly affects professional quality of life in nurses with specific personality traits. Therefore, it is important to maintain an ethical hospital climate, considering individual personalities to prevent burnout syndrome.

Association between Satisfaction with Life and Personality Types A and D in Young Women with Acne Vulgaris. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17228524.

Abstract
People with acne vulgaris report a lower level of satisfaction with life and are more frequently classified as having Type D personalities than those without acne. This research examined, for the first time, the moderating and mediating role of personality type in the relationship between acne severity and satisfaction with life. Among 300 female nursing and cosmetology students ranging in age from 19 to 24 years (M = 21.28, SD = 1.39), 150 individuals (50%) presented with symptoms of acne vulgaris (AV group), while the other 150 (50%) were categorized as controls without acne vulgaris (WAV sample). A cross-sectional study was conducted using three self-report questionnaires: The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), the Framingham Type A Scale (FTAS), and the Type D Scale (DS14). Acne vulgaris was clinically diagnosed using the Hellgren–Vincent Scale (HVS). The AV group scored significantly higher on the FTAS and DS14 and lower on the SWLS than the WAV sample. Life satisfaction correlated negatively with both the negative affectivity (NA) and social inhibition (SI) subscales of the DS14. The moderating role of the Type A behavioral pattern (TABP) and the mediating role of both NA and SI subscales of the DS14 were observed in the relationship between acne severity and satisfaction with life. The type of personality may explain the mechanism of the relationship between acne disease and subjective well-being. Therefore, psychological interventions and strategies focused on managing stress and mood may effectively improve satisfaction with life in people with acne.
