Results There was a significant correlation between scores of psychosomatic symptoms and stress-related psychosocial factors such as EPQ-N,subjective social support(SSS),negative emotion(NE),positive emotion(PE),negative coping style(NC) and some negative characteristics of pre-operative cognition.Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that EPQ-N,PE and religion belief were in the equation.

RESUMEN
Objective To study the effect of Qi-Gong relaxation training on the operation-related psychological stress and the post-operative psychosomatic adjustment in upper-abdominal surgery patients. Methods Forty-two patients undergoing upper-abdominal surgery in intervention group were instructed to do Qi-Gong relaxation training, and forty patients matched were controls without Qi-Gong relaxation training. On the day before surgery, a self-developed patients' pre-operative appraisal questionnaire, a self-developed patients' pre-operative behavior rating questionnaire for completion by medical workers, and State Anxiety Inventory (SAI) of State -Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were used in two groups. In an hour before operation，the shift of the mean value of pulse and systolic pressure of every case compared with the base line measured at his (or her) admission was also recorded. After surgery, patients were assessed with a self-developed patients' post-operative appraisal questionnaire, a self-developed patients' post-operative behavior rating questionnaire for completion by medical workers and SAI of STAI. Besides, the indexes of physical rehabilitation, including intestinal aerofluxus, total dosage of analgesia and so on, were recorded. Data were analysed in t-test with SPSS. Results Compared with controls, the patients in intervention group had more positive anticipation about the following operation, lower pre- and post-operative anxiety, and lighter post-operative pain experience. There was no difference in the indexes of physical rehabilitation between two groups. Conclusions Qi-Gong relaxation training could lead patients to better psychological adjustment both before and after operation. This finding suggests that Qi-Gong relaxation training could be used as an effective psycho-behavior intervention in abdominal surgery patients.
RESUMEN
Objective: To investigate the correlation between stress reaction and other related psychological stress factors such as life events, social support, and coping style in neurosis patients comparing with the group of healthy persons. Methods: 88 neurosis and 100 healthy persons were examined with LES (Life Event Scale), PSSS (Perceived Social Support Scale), TCSQ (Trait Coping Style Questionnaire), SRQ(Stress Reaction Questionnaire). Results: The scores of stress reaction, family events and negative coping style of neurosis group were significantly higher than those of healthy group, and the scores of social support out of family and positive coping style were significantly lower than those of healthy group. The regression analysis and path analysis revealed that in neurosis group stress reaction was directly correlated with negative coping style and social events, but in healthy group it was correlated with negative coping style and family events. Conclusion: Stress reaction may be directly affected with negative coping style and social events in neurosis patients, whereas it may be done with negative coping style and family events in healthy persons.
