Background: The prevalence of psychiatric symptoms and hostility factors
in patients with scleroderma, although a matter of clinical interest, it
is rather poorly studied. Methods: Thirty female patients with
scleroderma were investigated. Thirty-three healthy women were used as a
comparison group. The applied psychometric instruments were the
Hostility and Direction of Hostility Questionnaire (HDHQ), the Delusions
Symptoms States Inventory/states of Anxiety and Depression (DSSI/sAD)
and the Symptom Check List-SOR (SCL-90R). Results: The scleroderma
patients reported significantly increased depression and anxiety,
somatization, interpersonal sensitivity and obsessive-compulsiveness.
Paranoid ideation and psychotic symptoms scores were also increased. On
hostility, they presented significantly higher scores predominantly on
guilt. Conclusions: Psychiatric symptomatology in the form of anxiety,
depression, obsessive-compulsiveness, somatization and feeldings of
guilt were reported by the majority of the patients with scleroderma.
