Evaluation and Comparison of Personality Traits in Patients with Genital Wart and Healthy Individuals
Genital wart is a sexually transmitted disease, which can have specific psychological causes and consequences. We aimed to compare personality traits among the patients with genital warts and healthy people.
Seventy participants (35 patients with genital wart and 35 healthy people) were chosen among the clients of the dermatology clinic of Imam Reza hospital, Mashhad, Iran, in year 2018. The five-factor NEO personality questionnaire was filled for all the patients.
There were significant differences between the two groups in 4 personality traits including conscientiousness, agreeableness, extraversion, and neuroticism between two groups. Openness to experience did not show any significant difference between the two groups.
Genital wart influences personality traits in patients. It is essential that mental health professionals take the necessary measures in personality vulnerabilities to reduce the risk of this disease or its damages in patients.
