Abstract
In order to study self-attitude of younger adolescents with chronic diseases, we examined 86 children with chronic glomerulonephritis and 78 conditionally healthy peers. The average disease duration was 3.5 years. The authors revealed that the level of integral self-attitude, its components (self-esteem, autogenic sympathy, self-interest, expected positive attitude) and sets on internal actions towards one’s ego (self-confidence, attitude of other people, self-acceptance, self-interest) of younger adolescents with chronic diseases is significantly lower than in healthy peers. Special social situation arising in connection with the disease leads to distorted development of the personality. The adolescent’s personality becomes even more vulnerable to stressful situations, social and psychological deadaptation.
