Abstrakt: Noncardiac chest pain (NCCP) may lead many problems on the health-care system. Having type D personality has been shown to adversely affect NCCP patients. This study aimed to determine the psychological comorbidities that type D personality is associated with, in patients with NCCP. The participants of this cross-sectional study were 360 patients diagnosed with NCCP. Patients filled out questionnaires about sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical factors (severity of pain, somatization, cardiac anxiety, fear of body sensations, depression, and type D personality). Type D personality was more prevalent among female (p < 0.005), and those people having this personality showed lower sleep quality (p = 0.001) and sexual life satisfaction (p < 0.001) and more likely to be smoker (p < 0.001). Type D personality is strongly associated with fear of body sensations (β = 5.92, SE = 1.95, p = 0.003), pain intensity (β = 3.53, SE = 0.98, p < 0.001), depression (β = 2.91, SE = 0.62, p < 0.001), and somatization (β = 1.75, SE = 0.55, p < 0.001). Type D personality and major psychological comorbidities were strongly associated. Physicians should consider that having type D personality can be linked to NCCP in an effort to help patients receive effective psychological consultations.
