چکیده

مقدمه: عوامل روان‌شناختی ممکن است در بروز و تشدید بیماری‌های قلبی‌‌‌عروقی نقش داشته باشند. مطالعه‌ی حاضر با هدف تعیین رابطه‌ی سبک‌های دلبستگی، ناپختگی عاطفی و ناگویی هیجانی در بیماران قلبی‌عروقی شهر زنجان انجام گرفت. 
مواد و روش‌ها: پژوهش حاضر مطالعه‌ا‌ی توصیفی از نوع همبستگی بود. جامعه‌ی آماری این پژوهش شامل طیفی متشکل از 670 بیمار مبتلا به بیماری‌های قلبی‌عروقی مراجعه‌کننده به کلینیک قلب و عروق بیمارستان آیت‌الله موسوی زنجان در فاصله‌ی زمانی فروردین تا شهریور 1398 بودند. حجم نمونه با استفاده از فرمول کوکران 244 نفر برآورد شد. ابزار گردآوری داده‌ها شامل پرسش‌نامه‌ی استاندارد سبک‌های دلبستگی بزرگسالان هازن و شیور، ناگویی هیجانی تورنتو و بلوغ عاطفی سینگ‌ و بهارگاوا بود. تحلیل داده‌ها با کمک نرم‌افزار SPSS 24 و با استفاده از آزمون‌های همبستگی پیرسون و رگرسیون چندگانه انجام شد. 
یافته‌ها: نتایج آنالیز همبستگی پیرسون نشان داد که رابطه‌ی مثبت و معناداری بین ناگویی هیجانی با نداشتن ثبات عاطفی (P<0.01, r=0.014)، فروپاشی شخصیت (P<0.01, r=0.36) و ناپختگی عاطفی (P<0.01, r=0.38) وجود داشت. نتایج تحلیل رگرسیون چندگانه نشان داد که نداشتن ثبات عاطفی (0.009=P)، فروپاشی شخصیت (0.0016=P) و ناگویی هیجانی (0.009=P) به‌طور معناداری سبک ایمن را در بیماران قلبی و عروقی پیش‌بینی می‌کنند. همچنین، دشواری در توصیف احساسات، سبک اجتنابی را به‌طور معناداری پیش‌بینی می‌کند (0.034=P). ناپختگی عاطفی (0.006=P) و دشواری در تشخیص احساسات (0.009=P) نیز به‌طور معناداری سبک دوسوگرا را پیش‌بینی می‌کنند.
نتیجه‌گیری: ویژگی‌های شخصیتی و ناگویی هیجانی می‌توانند به‌عنوان شاخص‌هایی برای پیش‌بینی سبک‌های دلبستگی و رفتارهای اجتماعی استفاده شوند و به‌طور خاص، نداشتن ثبات عاطفی، فروپاشی شخصیت و ناگویی هیجانی می‌توانند سبک ایمن و سبک دوسوگرا را تا حدودی پیش‌بینی نمایند. همچنین، دشواری در توصیف احساسات و ناپختگی عاطفی نیز توان پیش‌بینی سبک اجتنابی را دارند. این نتایج می‌تواند به درک بهتر رفتارهای فرد و طراحی راهکارهایی برای بهبود رفتار کمک کنند.

چکیده [English]

Introduction: Psychological factors might play a role in the onset and exacerbation of cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to determine the relationship between Alexithymia and Emotional Maturity with the mediation of Attachment Styles among cardiovascular patients in Zanjan, Iran.
Methods: The present study has a descriptive-correlational design. The statistical population of this study encompassed a range of 670 patients with cardiovascular diseases who were referred to the Cardiology Clinic of Ayatollah Mousavi Hospital in Zanjan from March and August 2019. The sample size was estimated to be 244 people using Cochran formula. Data collection tools included Hazen and Shaver’s standard adult attachment style questionnaire, Toronto’s ataxia, and Singh and Bhargava questionnaires. The Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analyses were done using SPSS 24 software.
Results: There was a positive correlation between alexithymia with emotional instability (r=0.14, P<0.01), personality decay (r=0.36, P<0.01), and emotional maturity (r=0.38, P<0.01). The results of multiple regression analysis showed that emotional instability (P=0.009), personality decay (P=0.016), and emotional immaturity (P=0.009) significantly predicted secure style. Additionally, difficulty in describing emotions significantly predicted avoidant style (P=0.034). Emotional maturity (P=0.006) and difficulty recognizing emotions (P=0.009) also significantly predicted ambivalent style.
Conclusion: Personality traits and emotional alexithymia can be used as indicators for predicting attachment styles and social behaviors, and specifically, lack of emotional stability, personality disintegration, and emotional alexithymia can predict secure and ambivalent styles to some extent. Also, difficulty in describing emotions and emotional immaturity have the ability to predict the avoidant style. These results can help to better understand individual behaviors and design solutions to improve behavior.
