Abstract
109 men with CP and their wives were examined. According to the criterion of presence/absence of marital satisfaction, the surveyed couples were divided into two groups. The first group (group 1) included 73 (67.0 %) couples with low or low levels of marital satisfaction. The second (group 2) included 36 (33.0 %) married couples who were satisfied with their own relationship. The comprehensive examination included, in addition to standard clinical methods, a clinical-psychological and psychodiagnostic study. As a result of the study, it was found that men with CP were found to have manifestations of anxiety and depression, much more pronounced among people dissatisfied with marital relations. They were also characterized by a predominance of negative spectrum emotions in the palette of emotional response, while in patients experiencing marital satisfaction, the emotional spectrum was dominated by positive emotional coloration. Among the wives of patients, there was a similar trend of greater prevalence and severity of symptoms of pathological anxiety and depression among women who experienced marital dissatisfaction. Thus, despite the presence of CP in all surveyed men, which became a provoking factor in the formation of a negative emotional background and reactions of the anxiety-depressive spectrum, patients who were satisfied with the marital relationship showed significantly better psychoemotional performance than patients, dissatisfied with marital relations. The success of marital relations in this case became a shock absorber of the negative psychogenic effects of the disease, which provided a significant difference in the psycho-emotional state of men with CP.
