GONZALEZ LLANEZA, Felicia Mirian. Rorschach study on stress control and tolerance associated to primary hyperhidrosis in young hyperhidrotic people. Rev Hum Med [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.2, pp. 291-310. ISSN 1727-8120.

Primary hyperhidrosis, a chronic disease characterized by excessive sweating, appears at an early age and causes limitations that interfere with social relationships. This symptomatology limits the ability to control and tolerate stress. A descriptive research was carried out. It shows the individual qualitative results of three young primary hiperhidrotic people. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to characterize stress control and tolerance associated to primary hyperhidrosis in three young hyperhidrotic people (individually). A semistructured interview as well as the State-Feature Anxiety Inventory and the Rorschach Comprehensive System were used. Results are different in the three young people. It was concluded that differences between people with primary hyperhidrosis, with regard to their ability to control and tolerate stress, lie in the characteristic combination of elements that define the personality in styles and states in sustained social demand situations.

Keywords : primary hyperhidrosis; stress; Rorschach Comprehensive System.
