ABSTRACT

Introduction: little is known about intrusive thoughts associated to different psychological effects of diabetes mellitus and even less is known about the factors related to the use of thought suppression as a regulatory cognitive strategy.
Objectives: to explore the psychological impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus, the presence of intrusive thoughts and their suppression in patients seen at the Center for Care and Education of Diabetics in Santa Clara city and to describe the linking of intrusive thoughts and suppression of thoughts with a group of sociodemographic and psychological variables in these patients.
Methods: one hundred and twenty one patients attended to in this center were evaluated by means of a structured interview, a semantic differential and the White Bear suppression inventory.
Results: the intrusive thoughts in patients with diabetes mellitus may be difficult to be controlled, imply a greater use of suppression of thoughts and their notification is related to schooling, gender and emotional status of the patient. They are generally notified by individuals who feel tense and emotional. The best predictor of suppression of thoughts is a self-image of tense individual.
Conclusions: the analysis of intrusive thoughts and their suppression show particularities related to sociodemographic determinants in terms of sex and schooling and to psychological determinants in terms of individuals who perceive themselves as tense and emotional.
