The Relationship of Type D Personality to Herbal Product Use and Asthma Control in Asthma Patients
Öz
Method: The target population of the study comprised all patients (n=408) who applied to the chest diseases clinic in a university hospital between 11/01/2019-11/03/2019 and were diagnosed with asthma, while the sample comprised patients above 18 years old who applied to the clinic between the afore mentioned dates, had no communication problems, were not diagnosed with any psychiatric disorders, and agreed to take part in the study (n=216). The study data was collected using a 17-item survey form questioning the patients’ sociodemographic and HP use characteristics, the Type D-14 Personality Scale (DS-14) and Asthma Control Test.
Findings: Of the asthma patients, 74.1% has been using HP for the past year and nearly half of them (58.3%) had type D personality. The HP use ratio was higher in the patients with better income (p=0.000), an additional chronic illness (p=0.001), type D personality (p=0.000) and a poor asthma control (p=0.000). The presence of an additional chronic illness and type D personality predicted 0.063% of the HP use (R2=0.063, p=0.000). The patients with type D personality were mostly housewives, had smoking habit, used 2-3 inhalers and had a poor asthma control (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Most of the asthma patients (74.1%) used HP and nearly half of them (58.3%) had type D personality. The patients who used herbal product and had type D personality had a poor asthma control.
