Abstract

Health anxiety (HA) is common in psychiatric and medical settings. Cognitive models of HA highlight the role of misinterpreting physical sensations as dangerous. This report presents the case of a 31-year-old man and the use of a cognitive-behavioural approach to treat his HA which also considers the role of misinterpreting intrusions as abnormal, by drawing on theoretical accounts of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). A single-case experimental design demonstrated reliable improvements in symptom measures of HA and general distress. Distinguishing sensation-based versus intrusion-based appraisals in HA has implications for interventions in health settings and for refining cognitive theory.

针对健康焦虑中基于感觉和基于侵入的误解的认知-行为方法:一项单例实验研究

健康焦虑(HA)在精神病学和医学环境中很常见。HA的认知模型强调了将身体感觉误解为危险的作用。本报告介绍了一名31岁男子的案例，并使用认知行为方法治疗他的HA，该方法也考虑了将入侵误解为异常的作用，并借鉴了强迫症(OCD)的理论解释。单例实验设计证明了HA症状测量和一般窘迫的可靠改善。在HA中区分基于感觉的评估和基于侵入的评估对卫生机构的干预和完善认知理论具有重要意义。
