[Treatment procrastination time in breast cancer and personality structure]
Abstract:
Sixty patients with mammary cancer were studied in order to determine whether a connection between the tendency to delay medical treatment and a neurotic personality structure exists. The results are based on different personality factors that were investigated by means of the 16-PF test by Cattell. It could be shown that for patients who had delayed treatment (D2) the personality traits "limited inner tension" and "slightly inhibited" were present. On the other hand patients who had not delayed treatment (K1) displayed the personality traits "higher inner tension" and "free of inhibitions".
