Some people overestimate the severity of their illness?
Source:
All of us from time to time get sick and often deal with caused by trapped in the body infections. While we are accompanied by extremely unpleasant physical sensations, which significantly lowers our mood. However, according to scientists from Texas city San Antonio on how a person feels during a disease, can influence the presence of mental health problems, profession, income level, marital status and attitude to work. This they learned in the course of the study, the results of which were published in a scientific journal .
Within the framework of scientific work, researchers conducted a survey among 1259 persons who during the year at least once suffered from a cold or flu. The volunteers were asked to assess their physical and emotional status during an illness on a scale from "not sick" to "seriously ill". In fact, the survey was conducted on a modified , in which each person evaluates the degree of their agreement with the proposed judgment in the interval between "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree".
How long is the flu?
Usually the cold symptoms one to two weeks, but with proper treatment, this period can be reduced to a few days. However, how a person responds to the disease, greatly influenced by such factors as psychological state, level of income, relations within the family and the profession. This can explain the fact that some people suffer much longer than others. There is a large probability that many of the victims of colds and flu simply cunning.
Why do people hurt for a long time?
After receiving the survey results, the researchers found that the hardest part of his illness survive people with low income. Moreover, it is not in cunning, and the desire to hurry back to work to forced weekends no effect on wages. However, they continue to work, even if the symptoms do not recede, because quality medical care they simply don't have enough money.
Approximately so do the people who live in countries where working hard is an attribute of every self-respecting citizen. For example, this trend is much observed in Japan, where the people can underestimate the severity of their disease, longer to remain on the job. This is the risk that the country could spread infection and sick workers to fatal complications.
In Japan there is even a term for death in the workplace due to processing
What are people exaggerating the severity of the disease?
The scientists Also noticed that colds and flu are hard to tolerate people who are . This is connected, probably, with their usual pessimism. Everything is compounded if the person is strong and resistant, because they have an opportunity to "show off" his power and poise in front of familiar people. In the end, such patients may lie in bed for even longer, and in addition earn complications.
In their own "cheat" during illness may also have families. For example, the ill man can longer complain about the symptoms to get from relatives support and the opportunity to relax for more time. People do not get complications and can even be healed, but the bad thing is that they are, in fact, lying to your family members.
Results study
Thanks to scientific work, the scientists were able to draw people's attention to the fact that some groups of the population may underestimate the severity of their disease and to go to work. This is not good because this can spread with increased speed.
In the future, scientists plan to conduct the study again, but with participants who at the time of the scientific work are already sick.
