Psychoemotional Status of Primary School Children with Respiratory Tuberculosis upon Admission to the Hospital and its Connection with Early Maladaptive Schemes

Long-term treatment of respiratory tuberculosis (RT) determines the urgency of the problem of the stressful effects of hospitalization in phthisiology. In this regard, the question of what factors are associated with a greater severity of psychoemotional disorders in children during treatment in a hospital is acute. Aim. The work is devoted to the study of the relationship between the characteristics of psychoemotional status with early maladapted schemes (EMS) in primary school-age children with RT upon admission to the hospital. Materials and methods. The study involved 28 children aged 8-12 years with RT who were treated in a hospital (15 girls and 13 boys). The following methods were used: M. Kovacs' Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaires (SDQ), The Children's Form of Manifest Anxiety Scale (CMAS), the Lusher color test, The Dusseldorf Illustrated Schema Questionnaire for Children (DISC). Results and conclusions. The association of an increased level of depression with a greater severity of EMS «unrelenting standards», «emotional inhibition», «negativity/pessimism», «failure», «self-sacrifice», «vulnerability», «social isolation/alienation» and «defectiveness/shame» was revealed. Disorders of psychosocial adaptation positively correlated with the following EMS: «enmeshment/undeveloped self», «mistrust/abuse», «defectiveness/shame» and «unrelenting standards».
