2063.161 Understanding illnesses: An integrative biopsychosocial approach. Sven Ingmar
Andersson, Lund University, Department of Psychology, Sweden
Objective: To study illness cognitions/representations in an integrative biopsychosocial
perspective. Methods: Questionnaire and interview studies (>500 patients). Results: The
biomedical orientation of many patients, in particular those suffering from chronic widespread
fatigue or pain, appeared to be a function of their extended pharmaceutical and surgical treatment
and their efforts to be recognized, by health and unemployment insurance authorities in particular,
as suffering from a definite somatic disease. Conclusions: Psychologists and social workers have
an important role in dealing with everyday health problems of ordinary people/patients to a greater
extent, notably in primary health care.

Long Li 1 , 1 Department of Medical and pharmaceutical administration, Anhui Traditional Chinese
medicine, China; 2 Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China
Aims: To explore memory impairment type 2 diabetes patients. Methods: 90 patients (aged from
30 to 85) and 90 controls with comparable age and education participated in the study. Four
cognitive tasks, recognition of meaningless figures, digital symbol substitute, action memory
(Subject performed task) and mental arithmetic (digital span), were administered. Results: a
special age effect was identified in memory impairment of NIDDM patients compared with those
of controls. Furthermore, action memory experiments show an experimental dissociation, that both
free recall of well-integrated items with enactment support and poor-integrated items without
enactment were affected by NIDDM in patients aged form 30 to 70.Conclusions: Cognitive
impairments in NIDDM patients were associated with both normal aging and impaired memory
function.
