A comprehensive clinical and psychodiagnostic examination of 114 HIVinfected patients with non-psychotic mental disorders was carried out, including a clinical diagnostic interview using an independently developed patient research map, pathological and experimental psychological methods, in particular (SCL-90-R and the Schmiszek questionnaire). The age of the examined ranged from 21 to 62 years, the average age of which was 39.77 years. Among the examined, there were 49.12 % of men and 50.88 % of women with secon dary specialized education (50 %), with physical work (67.54 %), single people (69.3 %) heterosexual orientation (89.47 %), unemployed — 24.78 %. The duration of HIV infection in them ranged from 1 month to 24 years and averaged 5.0 years. 48.25 % of patients took HAART regularly, 31.58 % took HAART irregularly, 20.18 % did not take HAART. The leading psychosocial factors in the emergence of maladaptive behavior among HIV patients were the absence of close relationships (80.39 %; p < 0.05). Highlighting the characteristics of HIV patients in the team: isolation (78.07 %), confl ict (77.19 %), selfl essness (71.05 %), selfi shness (64.04 %), vulnerability (61.4 %). Characteristic features of HIV patients: hyperimmunity, emotivism, anxiety, cyclotimism, exaltation and demonstrativeness. Among HIV-infected people with deviant behavior, indicators of anxiety and dysthymia are violated. Socio-demographic factors of maladaptive behavior among HIV-infected people are included: low level of education, the predominance of physical labor, lack of social support, a complex diagnostic and treatment route. The above factors, combined with the psychosocial characteristics of this group of patients, can aff ect the development and progression of deviant behavior, which in turn leads to a complication of the course of the disease and mental disorders.

Background: Antonovsky’s Sense of Coherence (SOC) scale, published with 29 items, is considered a social concept, also used in mental health research. A scale using only 13 of the items has been suggested, without explanation as to how these 13 items were selected. Aim: To compare how total scores based on 29 and 13 and the remaining 16 items could be explained by sociodemographic and mental health factors and to explore how each of the 13 items relates to these factors in comparison to the remaining 16 items. Methods: The full SOC questionnaire was completed by 1,164 subjects in the Lundby cohort study in 1997. Using linear regression, socio-demographic factors were evaluated as predictors for the sum-scores of the 29 and 13 items. Relationships to the socio-demographic factors and mental disorders were evaluated for each item; the results for the 13 items were compared to the results for the remaining 16 items. The distributions of the responses for the 13 items were compared to the distributions of the responses for the 16 items. Results: The sum-scores related differently to age; generally, positively among the 13 items, but negatively for the 16 excluded items. Differences between the 13 and the remaining 16 items were observed in relations to gender and partnership, somewhat less to socio-economic status, minor differences in relation to mental disorders. The distributions of the responses of the items were highly negatively skewed, more so among the 13 items. Conclusion: No obvious explanation for the selection of the 13 items was found. Different results may be obtained regarding associations to socio-demographic factors depending on whether the 13 items or all 29 items are used. The highly skewed distributions of responses indicate that more research would be valuable in order to assess SOC.
