Abstract
The psychosocial status of people with chronic ailments has garnered undivided attention in recent years, especially for diseases such as Aids, leukemia, and hemophilia. Numerous clinical and psychological issues associated with hemophilia have been found to attribute a significant increase in emotional distress. Due to the paucity of research on the psychosocial aspects of this inherited disorder. The aim of the research was to study emotional reappraisal, emotional suppression, and health among persons with hemophilia. A total of 50 patients participated in the study and were divided into 2 age groups (19-24) and (25-30). Standardized scales such as Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Gross & John, 2003) and Patient Health Questionnaire (Spitzer et. al, 1999) were used. The obtained results were tabulated, and correlation and independent t-tests were used to compare the means of two age groups. The total sample mean was found to be 18.10 and the standard deviation was 8.30 respectively. The correlation of health was found to be positive and significantly related to emotional reappraisal (r= 0.10) and emotional suppression (r=0.08). The result portrays there is no difference between the two age groups on emotional regulation and health. Despite much research on the genetic causes of this condition in India, there is a dire need to study the psychological challenges, social problems, and opportunities available to persons with hemophilia (PWH). Psychological and genetic counseling shall be promoted for the holistic well-being of hemophiliacs.
