Fifty-seven urological patients whose emotional behavioral reactions were characterized by somatic anxiety caused by mental adaptation were examined under conditions of preoperative emotional stress. On day 5 after admission to hospital the hormonal, autonomic, and sensory responses decreased in patients with previously manifest anxiety, which was due to decrease of anxiety because of appearance of some psychopathological features. Satisfactory hormonal, autonomic, and mental adaptation was observed on day 5 after admission to hospital in patients with moderately expressed anxiety. In patients with previously predominating parasympatotonia and a low level of anxiety, the hormonal and autonomic areactivity and mental adaptation observed in the same terms were due to augmenting psychopathological features. |
