Objectives： We examined the presumptive association between psychological characteristics and coping style in hospitalized pneumoconiosis patients.
Method： Eighty-five hospitalized pneumoconiosis patients were divided into two groups according to their Hamilton Depression Rating Scale(HAM-D) scores；Group A consisted of twenty-two patients with HAM-D score higher than 18, Group B had sixty-three patients with HAM-D score lower than 18. All of them were interviewed with the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale(HAM-D) and completed the Symptom Checklist-90 items-Revised(SCL-90-R), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI) and Ways of Coping Checklist. Days of hospital care, socio-demographic data and three evaluation scores were compared between two groups .
Results： Twenty-two patients’ HAM-D scores were higher than 18. Group A patients were older and their problem focused coping scores and educational levels were lower. Hospitalized pneumoconiosis patients showed somatization, depression, phobic anxiety and anxiety, in order.
