Clinic-epidemiological study of patients with the blood system diseases sample

The article presents the results of a study on the prevalence of mental disorders and personality disorders in the in-patient hematological clinic. We investigated a number of epidemiological parameters of the patients: socio-demographic data, the prevalence of mental disorders at the studied patients, receiving psychotropic drugs in the past, compliance in relation to the treatment of the blood system diseases and so on. It was found, that the overall prevalence of mental disorders among the examined patients corresponds to 71.3 %. Among the certain nosologies and psychopathological syndromes, disclosed in the studied patients, nozogenic reactions (54.7%), chronic sleep disorder (6.6 %) and somatogenic psychoses (3.3 %) were dominated. It was established that the vast majority of patients adhere to regimen prescribed by physicians, seeking medical help in time, and only among persons with mental illness and severe personality disorders disclosed violations of the therapeutic cooperation, which in extreme cases can lead to delays in diagnosis and inappropriate treatment of the blood system diseases. Keywords: prevalence, blood system diseases, mental disorders, somatopsychic accentuations, compliance.
