Popis: Introduction Motivation for treatment is an important socio-psychological characteristic of patients, which is subject to the joint influence of various factors, each of which may require specific rehabilitation interventions. Objectives To analyze and evaluate the cumulative influence of adverse childhood experiences (ACE), internal stigma, social characteristics on the intensity of treatment motivation in patients with mental disorders. Methods 102 patients with mental disorders were examined using Adverse Childhood Experience Questionnaire (ACEQ), Russian-language validated Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness (ISMI) scale and Treatment Motivation Assessment Questionnaire (TMAQ). Results As a result of regression analysis (table 1), a model was obtained that predicted an increase in the chances of high patient’s motivation for treatment with an increase in the total score of ACEs (ACEQ total score) and with higher education. The overall severity of internal stigma (ISMI total score) did not show a significant effect on the chances of developing intense motivation in patients. Table 1. Model of logistic regression analysis of educational, ACE total score and ISMI total score with the severity of motivation for treatment.

Table 2. Results of the test ROC analysis for ACEQ total score and the severity of motivation for treatment. Cutpoint Sensitivity (%) Specificity (%) Youden’s index AUC 3 64.71% 53.57% 0.183 0.689 4 50% 75% 0.250 0.689 5 38.24% 85.71% 0.239 0.689 Conclusions ACEs may likely be a source of posttraumatic growth in adulthood in patients with mental illness specially if their count amounts to 4 or more variants. The role of social and psychological characteristics of patients with mental disorders in the psychology of the treatment process should be considered systemically, rather than discretely.
