Abstract

The article presents the results of an experimental test of the author's program of psychocorrection of emotional states of elderly women with coronary heart disease.

The main psychophysiological indicators of the emotional state of elderly women, which affect the development of coronary heart disease, are determined. These include: alexithymia, depression, openness, anxiety, neuroticism, sociability, emotional lability.

The following methods of processing the obtained results were chosen, in view of the small number of respondents: Spearman's rank correlation method, Student's T-test; T - Wilcoxon test).

Methods used: "Toronto Alexithymic Scale", "Hamilton Scale for Depression", "Hamilton Scale for Anxiety", "Asthenic Scales", "Neuropsychiatric Stress Questionnaire", "Aggression Questionnaire", "FR Questionnaire , according to theoretically determined indicators of the emotional sphere of elderly women with coronary heart disease.

It was found that for psychophysiological indicators of depression, anxiety, neuroticism, openness, emotional lability, significance was recorded using Wilcoxon's T-test, which indicates that the change in these indicators occurred as a result of our method with a probability of more than 99%.

It is noted that the level of psychophysiological indicators of alexithymia and sociability did not change significantly. We explain the weak influence of the proposed method on these indicators by objective factors. Correction of alexithymia should include a focus on the patient's awareness of their feelings and the ability to express them and should be carried out on the patient comprehensively and over a long period of time.

 We have identified an important cause of coronary heart disease in elderly women, which is a combination of elevated levels of negative emotions with an intense tendency to suppress their expression in social contacts and interpersonal interaction.

The effectiveness of the correctional program has been proved, which can be further used by psychologists as a psychocorrectional component of the general set of measures during outpatient treatment of coronary heart disease and its psychoprophylaxis.

We see the prospect of further research in the improvement of the author's comprehensive program, expansion of its corrective spectrum of action and further testing.
