    El objetivo fue investigar la relación entre rasgos de temperamento postulados por la Regulative Theory of Temperament (RTT) y dimensiones de apoyo social con el nivel de síntomas de trauma, como aparecen en el trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT), en pacientes VIH+ (n = 182) y SIDA (n = 128)] y en pacientes que sufren dolor crónico (artritis reumatoide; n = 150). El nivel de los síntomas de trauma se evaluó con el Inventario TEPT-F, el temperamento se midió con Inventario FCB-TI y el apoyo social con las Escalas BSSS. Los predictores significativos de síntomas de trauma fueron los rasgos de temperamento (reactividad emocional, perseverancia y sensibilidad sensorial) y las dimensiones de apoyo social (apoyo percibido, necesidad de apoyo, búsqueda de apoyo y apoyo real recibido). También destacan las diferencias significativas entre los niveles de síntomas de trauma, el temperamento y el apoyo social entre el grupo VIH/SIDA y pacientes con dolor crónico. La importancia de los síntomas de trauma, así como los rasgos de temperamento y el apoyo social, se deben tomar en cuenta en la planificación de las formas de apoyo psicológico que deben acompañar a la farmacoterapia para el VIH/SIDA y pacientes con dolor crónico.

    The main goal of our study was to investigate and compare the relationship between temperament traits postulated by the Regulative Theory of Temperament (RTT) and social support dimensions with the level of trauma symptoms, as appear in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), in an HIV/AIDS patient sample [HIV+ (n=182) and AIDS (n=128)] and in patients suffering from chronic pain (rheumatoid arthritis; n=150). The level of trauma symptoms was assessed with the PTSD Factorial Version Inventory (PTSD-F), temperament was measured with the Formal Characteristics of Behaviour–Temperament Inventory (FCB-TI), and social support was tested with the Berlin Social Support Scales (BSSS). Significant predictors of trauma symptoms among participants were temperament traits (emotional reactivity, perseveration, and sensory sensitivity), and social support dimensions (perceived support, need for support, support seeking, and actually received support). We also noticed significant differences between the levels of trauma symptoms, temperament, and social support between HIV/AIDS and chronic pain patients. The importance of trauma symptoms, as well as temperament traits and social support, should be taken into account in planning the forms of psychological support that should accompany pharmacotherapy for HIV/AIDS and chronic pain patients.
