Incidence of alexithymia in worsening symptoms and quality of life of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus patients (SLE) by Fabio Rapisarda, Concetta Mezzatesta, Antonina Butticè, Alessandro Raffa, Stefano Boca

“…Results: Comparisons between the two groups revealed significant differences in the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) patients, compared to the control group, about the difficulty in identifying feelings and distinguishing them from the bodily sensations accompanying emotional activation, the use of conversion as a defence mechanism and the production of positive symptoms.Moreover, in the same group, the difficulty in identifying emotions was correlated with quality of life, since those who have difficulty identifying emotions have a poorer quality of life.Further analysis regarding the construct of alexithymia, within the patient group alone, revealed a tendency towards somatisation and the use of immature defence mechanisms, including conversion, acting out, projection, dissociation and displacement, highlighting a tendency to act out and project emotional suffering.Furthermore, there appeared to be difficulty in sharing emotional distress with others, indicating a deep sense of insecurity and a need for approval, as well as an incidence in the perception of the state of illness leading to a decline in the quality of life. …”
