The issue of special diagnostics of student personality features is a topical one during the whole years of studies. The article deals with the effect of gender personality features on the formation of nonpsychotic psychic disorders (NPD) among students.
The aim – to study the gender differences of student's personality features with nonpsychotic psychic disorders among healthy individuals.
Material and Methods. During 2015–2017 keeping to the principles of bioethics and deontology a complete comprehensive examination of 1235 students was performed. The following methods were applied: clinical, clinical-psychopathologic, clinical-epidemiologic, clinical-anamnestic, experimental-psychological, and statistical. Personality features were studied by means of a condensed version of personality multifactorial questionnaire (CVPMQ) designed on the basis of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) test.
Results. The conducted study determined that higher absolute values were found practically by all the scales (р<0.005) in the main group (students with NPD). The highest absolute scores for women were set on the II (depression) and VII (psychasthenia) scales – (59.32±0.97) and (59.59±0.96) in the main group (N=220) and (44.22±0.37), respectively; and (46.71±0.45) points in the comparison group, respectively (N=650). In men, the highest absolute values were also found on II and VII scales – (62.90±1.56) and (61.58±1.50) points in the main group (N=97) and (45.46±0.52) and (48.17±0.64) points in the comparison group, respectively (N=268). Hysterical personality traits were significantly more common in girls with non-psychotic psychiatric disorders (16.36 % and 13.40 %) (p <0.005).
Conclusions. Individuals with depressive, paranoiac, psychasthenic and hysterical personality features were found reliably more often among students both sexes with nonpsychotic psychic disorders. It should be considered in early diagnostics and making psychotherapeutic program for this group of patients.
