Area of Science:

  • Psychophysiology
  • Psychosomatic Medicine
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Previous research explored quantum models of brain processes and psychosomatic risk management.
  • This study focuses on stress-related psychophysiological disorders in patients requiring hemodialysis and insulin therapy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and impact of anxiety and depression in hemodialysis and insulin-dependent patients.
  • To recommend biofeedback as a non-invasive tool to enhance patient quality of life.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of stress-related psychophysiological disorders in the target patient group.
  • Review of comorbid psychological conditions, specifically anxiety and depression.
  • Consideration of biofeedback as a therapeutic intervention.

Main Results:

  • Anxiety and depression are frequent, often under-diagnosed and under-treated comorbidities in these patients.
  • The quality of life for patients dependent on hemodialysis and insulin requires significant improvement.

Conclusions:

  • Biofeedback is a recommended, cost-effective, and non-invasive psychophysiological tool for managing these disorders.
  • The concept of 'psychobiocompatibility' is proposed, extending biocompatibility to psychological well-being.
  • Biofeedback can be viewed as artificial autonomic nervous system (ANS) and central nervous system (CNS) support.
