Infidelity has detrimental effects on the mental and physical health of victims. The aim of the present study is to identify psychosomatic reactions and physical effects of infidelity on the victims.
a qualitative research was used in this study. The study population consisted of women who are victims of infidelity in Tehran. Participants were selected through purposive sampling and in-depth interviews had been conducted with 18 women with the experience of infidelity. Data analyzed by thematic analysis method.
Findings: The results suggest that couples show different psychosomatic reactions to infidelity. Data analysis resulted in 12 main categories and 39 sub-categories. The main categories of psychosomatic reactions were as follows: 1. sleep and dream interruptions, 2. eating interruptions, 3. impaired brain function, 4. physical symptoms of anxiety and stress, 5. blood pressure problems, 6. hormonal interruptions, 7. signs of premature aging, 8. gastrointestinal problems, 9. respiratory and pulmonary problems, 10- visual problems, 11. cardiovascular problems, and 12. direct physical injuries.
Results of the present study revealed that infidelity is a psychological phenomenon with some physical effects. These effects are not experienced by all female victims alike. This suggests a different perception of female victims and its related processes that cause different patterns of psychosomatic reactions to the infidelity among them.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the common gastrointestinal disorders considered as a psychosomatic disorder. Type D personality characterized by both global traits including negative affectivity and social inhibition has been proposed to be related to etiology of psychosomatic disorders. However, the role of this personality type in severity of IBS symptoms remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of type D personality in severity of IBS symptoms.

In a cross sectional study 194 consecutive patients with IBS referred to the psychosomatic clinics at Noor hospital, Isfahan were selected from Winter 2009 to Summer 2009. The patients were divided into two groups with (79 patients) and without (115 patients) type D personality by using DS-14. The patients completed type D personality Scale (DS-14) and the IB Severity Scoring System (IBS-SSS). Then the data was analyzed.

The findings indicated that 40.7% were the type D personality. Although the results of ANCOVA showed no significant difference between two groups, with and without type D, in severity of IBS symptoms (F=1.39, p= 0.24), multiple stepwise regression analysis indicated negative affectivity, as one of the type D dimensions (β= 4.03, p= 0.006) and treatment duration (β= 0.428, p= 0.038) were the significant predictors for severity of IBS symptoms.

Although, it seems that type D personality as a psychological factor does not effect on IBS symptom severity, the evidence confirms possible role of negative affectivity as one of the type D dimensions in severity of IBS symptoms.

Physical diseases and human psychological structure are closely interlinked and their effects on each other have been the subject of discussion for scientists for many years. In psychiatric classification, diabetes mellitus is categorized in psychosomatic diseases and the effect of behavior patterns and mental stresses on development of the diseases are dicussed in the above-mentaned category. The aim of this research was to study the relationship between type A behavior pattern and type 1 and 2 diabetes. The sample consisted of 150 people, 50 were type 1 diabetics, 50 type 2 and 50 formed our control group. The Jenkins questionnaire was used to determine type A & B behaviors. In statistical analysis type A behavior pattern was seen more in type 1 diabetics (74%) which in comparison with the control group and type 2 diabetetics (54%) was significant (p<0.05). These findings demonstrate the role of behavior patterns and psychologic factors on the clinical course of diabetes and stress the importance of psychologic intervention in the management of diabetics.
