| Objective:In this study, under the guidance of the Chinese medicine theory, starting from the physique survey and investigation to explore the symptoms and physique distribution characteristics of patients with anxiety in Singapore financial industry, hence to provide ideas and methods for the prevention and clinical treatment of patients with anxiety.Method:The study was targeted at168patients of the financial professional population who meet the diagnostic criteria for anxiety disorders. The survey was done in the form of questionnaires to determine patients’gender, age, nature of the work, number of years on job, personality, marital status, stress-related, racial distribution, body size distribution, different ways of coping, source of anxiety event, symptoms distribution and physical distribution characteristics.Results:1. Anxiety disorders distribution characteristics of Singapore financial professionals. In168cases of patients with anxiety state, the female, mental demanding job, patients with mild-to-moderate condition, on the job less than10years of age, introverted, married or divorced, heavy burden, Chinese, small build, mainly negative coping, average age was42.22±9.46, cause of anxiety events mostly from work.2. Symptoms Distribution of Anxiety disorder among the Singapore financial professionals. In168cases of patients with anxiety state, the most common symptom types (in descending order) are:41cases (24.4%) with obstruction of qi converting to fire,32cases (19.05%) with stagnation of qi in the liver, and26cases (15.48%) with stagnation of phlegm and qi.3. Physical Distribution Characteristics of Singapore financial professionals with Anxiety Disorders (1) In168cases of patients with anxiety status, the most common physique type in descending order being stagnation of Qi type-37cases (22.02%), Heat and Dampness type-33cases (19.64%),, Yin deficient type-18cases (10.71%), and special intrinsic quality type18cases (10.71%).(2) In168cases of patients with anxiety status, the male and female patients’physical distribution statistics of P=0.001<0.01had significant statistical differences. This highlighted the difference between the male and female body constitutions, the male patients were mainly of Heat and Dampness type, whereas the female were mainly of qi stagnation type.(3) In168cases of patients with anxiety status, age=40years old and age<40years old with physique distribution by statistics, P=0.008<0.01, was statistically significant, suggested that age=40years old were mostly of qi stagnation, qi deficient and yin deficient types. While age<40years were mostly of qi stagnation and Heat and Dampness type.(4) In168cases of patients with anxiety status, the distribution of the different nature of work with physique distribution by statistics, P=0.173>0.05, had no significant statistical difference, this suggested that the different nature of the work did not contribute to the distribution.(5) In168cases of patients with anxiety status, different severity of condition with physique distribution by statistics, P=0.036<0.05, was statistically significant, suggested that the severity condition of anxiety patients showed a different in physique distribution, with mild condition constituted by qi stagnation type and Heat and Dampness type, and severe condition constituted by qi stagnation and yin deficient physique.(6) In168cases of patients with anxiety status, job age S10years and with job age<10years with physique distribution by statistics, P0.236>0.05, has no significant statistical difference. This implied that the job age had no impact on the patients’physical distribution.(7) In168cases of patients with anxiety status different personalities with physique physical distribution statistic, value of P=0.022<0.05had significant statistical differences. This indicated that the patients had different personality distribution of which the introverts were mainly of qi stagnation type and the extroverts were mainly of Heat and Dampness physique.(8) In168cases of patients with anxiety status, different stress-related with physique distributed by statistics, P=0.000<0.01, was statistically significant, suggested that different stress-related anxiety in patients has differences in physique distribution. The overworked constituted by qi stagnation type, the overburdened were mainly of qi deficient type, and pursue perfection constituted by special intrinsic physique.(9) In168cases of patients with anxiety status, triggering anxiety event different sources of anxiety in patients with physique distribution statistics, P=0.442>0.05, has no significant difference, suggested different sources of anxiety event in patients was of no significant different.Conclusion:1. Among patients of Singapore financial professions with anxiety status, female, mental demanding job, patients with mild to moderate condition with job age of <10years, introverted, married or divorced, heavy burden, Chinese, small build, passive coping style, middle age group, triggered anxiety disorder mainly from work.2. Among patients of Singapore financial professions with anxiety status, main symptoms consist mainly of qi stagnation converting to fire type, qi stagnation in the liver type and qi and phlegm stagnation type.3. Among patients of Singapore financial professions with anxiety status, physique distribution consists mainly of qi stagnation type, Heat and Dampness type, yin deficient type and the special intrinsic quality type.4. Different genders, ages, severity, personality, pressure data, whether experienced adverse events, Singapore financial professions patients with anxiety status, has differences in physique distribution. |
