| Summary: | Aim. To assess the associations between the perception of stressful life events, psychological coping (PC) styles, and the progression of arterial hypertension (AH); to identify psychotherapeutic approaches towards blood pressure (BP) correction, based on the perception self-control. Material and methods. In 3 groups of the patients with AH Stages 1—3, the diagnostics of stress resilience and social readjustment (Holmes and Rahe scale) and the Life Style Index assessment (Plutchik, Kellerman, and Conte scale) were performed. Results. The study results supported the view on AH progression as a process of decreasing adaptation and inadequate PC (5 PC styles out of 8 were inadequate). No statistically significant difference in PC parameters was observed across AH stages. Conclusion. The study findings have been used for identification of psychotherapeutic (psychoanalytic) approaches towards BP correction, based on the perception self-control. |
