Zaburzenie osobowości antyspołeczne
Charakterystyka, pielęgnacja i opieka

Zaburzenie osobowości antyspołeczne (ASPD) charakteryzuje się trwałymi wzorcami lekceważenia praw innych, impulsywnością, agresją oraz brakiem wyrzutów sumienia. Diagnoza wymaga wcześniejszego rozpoznania zaburzenia zachowania przed 15. rokiem życia i nie jest stawiana poniżej 18 lat. Współistniejące nadużywanie substancji psychoaktywnych jest częste, a niższy poziom IQ i wykształcenia koreluje z wyższą częstością występowania ASPD. Kluczowe diagnozy pielęgniarskie obejmują zaburzone interakcje społeczne, nieskuteczne radzenie sobie, ryzyko przemocy wobec innych i samookaleczenia, izolację społeczną oraz niską samoocenę. Planowanie opieki koncentruje się na zapobieganiu samookaleczeniom, kontroli impulsów, rozwijaniu umiejętności radzenia sobie oraz eliminacji agresji i zachowań destrukcyjnych.

Zaburzenie osobowości antyspołeczne – charakterystyka

Zaburzenie osobowości antyspołeczne (Antisocial Personality Disorder, ASPD) to złożone zaburzenie psychiczne charakteryzujące się głęboko zakorzenionymi i sztywnymi dysfunkcyjnymi procesami myślowymi, które koncentrują się na nieodpowiedzialności społecznej z wykorzystującymi, przestępczymi zachowaniami bez wyrzutów sumienia. Osoby z tym zaburzeniem wykazują lekceważenie i naruszanie praw innych, co objawia się niezdolnością do przestrzegania prawa, trudnościami w utrzymaniu stałego zatrudnienia, oszustwami, manipulacją dla osobistych korzyści oraz niezdolnością do tworzenia stabilnych relacji.12

Charakterystyczne cechy zaburzenia osobowości antyspołecznego obejmują:34

  • Niewielkie zainteresowanie uczuciami lub potrzebami innych
  • Nieuczciwość, kradzieże i manipulacja innymi
  • Powtarzające się problemy z organami ścigania
  • Częste naruszanie praw innych
  • Przejawy agresji i przemocy
  • Brak troski o własne bezpieczeństwo lub bezpieczeństwo innych
  • Wysoka impulsywność
  • Lekkomyślne zachowanie
  • Niewielkie wyrzuty sumienia lub żal dotyczący wpływu ich zachowania na innych

Zaburzenie osobowości antyspołeczne nie może być zdiagnozowane u osób poniżej 18 roku życia. Przed ukończeniem 18 lat pacjent musi zostać wcześniej zdiagnozowany z zaburzeniem zachowania (conduct disorder) do 15 roku życia, aby spełnić kryteria diagnostyczne dla ASPD.56 Badania wykazały znaczącą korelację między nadużywaniem substancji psychoaktywnych a diagnozą zaburzenia osobowości antyspołecznego, podczas gdy wykształcenie i inteligencja wykazują korelację negatywną, z wyższą częstością występowania ASPD wśród osób o niższym IQ i poziomie czytania.7

Diagnostyka pielęgniarska w ASPD

Diagnozy pielęgniarskie dla pacjentów z zaburzeniem osobowości antyspołecznym mogą obejmować:8910

  • Zaburzone interakcje społeczne – wynikające z braku empatii i lekceważenia praw innych osób
  • Nieskuteczne radzenie sobie – związane z niezdolnością do rozpoznawania i rozwijania strategii skutecznego zarządzania zachowaniami
  • Ryzyko przemocy skierowanej na innych – wynikające z nieodpowiedzialności społecznej, braku poczucia winy i wykorzystujących zachowań
  • Ryzyko samookaleczenia – osoby ze zdiagnozowanym zaburzeniem osobowości antyspołecznej są narażone na wyrządzanie sobie fizycznej krzywdy
  • Izolacja społeczna – osoby z ASPD mają tendencję do izolowania się od innych ludzi z powodu lekceważenia i naruszania praw innych osób oraz oszukiwania i manipulacji
  • Niska samoocena – związana z zaburzonym obrazem własnej osoby

Planowanie opieki pielęgniarskiej

Planowanie opieki pielęgniarskiej w przypadku zaburzenia osobowości antyspołecznego powinno koncentrować się na następujących celach:1112

  • Pacjent będzie wolny od samookaleczenia
  • Pacjent będzie uczestniczył w treningu kontroli impulsów
  • Pacjent będzie uczestniczył w treningu umiejętności radzenia sobie
  • Pacjent będzie szukał pomocy, gdy doświadcza autodestrukcyjnych impulsów
  • Pacjent będzie wykazywał zwiększoną kontrolę zachowań impulsywnych
  • Pacjent nie będzie krzywdził innych ani niszczył mienia

Interwencje pielęgniarskie

Interwencje pielęgniarskie w przypadku pacjentów z zaburzeniem osobowości antyspołecznym obejmują:131415

  1. Ustanowienie jasnego i ustrukturyzowanego planu leczenia, który pomaga w przewidywalności i zachęca do przestrzegania zaleceń
  2. Rozwijanie bezpiecznej i zaufanej relacji terapeutycznej z pacjentem – pielęgniarka musi zapewnić strukturę i ustalić granice w relacji terapeutycznej
  3. Nauczanie technik regulacji emocji i mechanizmów radzenia sobie z impulsywnością i agresją
  4. Wspieranie rozwoju empatii i zrozumienia perspektywy innych
  5. Promowanie bezpieczeństwa i zapobieganie przemocy skierowanej na siebie i innych

W pracy z pacjentami z ASPD szczególnie istotne jest ustalanie granic, co wymaga trzech kroków:16

  • Określenie granicy zachowania (opisanie nieakceptowalnego zachowania)
  • Identyfikacja konsekwencji w przypadku przekroczenia granicy
  • Identyfikacja oczekiwanego lub pożądanego zachowania

Pielęgniarka nie powinna się złościć ani reagować na pacjenta w sposób surowy lub karzący. Ważne jest, aby zachować profesjonalne podejście, jednocześnie ustanawiając jasne granice i oczekiwania dotyczące zachowania pacjenta.1718

Ocena i monitoring

Ocena pacjenta z zaburzeniem osobowości antyspołecznym powinna obejmować:1920

  • Ocenę historii samookaleczenia, w tym: rodzajów zachowań samookaleczających, częstości tych zachowań i czynników stresujących poprzedzających zachowanie
  • Identyfikację uczuć doświadczanych przed i w trakcie aktu samookaleczenia
  • Ocenę funkcjonowania społecznego i interakcji z innymi
  • Ocenę zachowania i stanu psychicznego
  • Monitorowanie myśli samobójczych – pielęgniarka powinna zawsze poważnie rozważyć myśli samobójcze przy obecności planu, dostępie do środków realizacji planu oraz zachowaniach autoagresywnych

Pacjenci z zaburzeniem osobowości antyspołecznym mogą być manipulacyjni, dlatego konsekwentne ustalanie granic pomaga zapewnić strukturę i zmniejszyć negatywne zachowania.21 Zachęcanie pacjenta do badania uczuć i obaw (np. identyfikowanie lęków, samotności i nienawiści do siebie) może pomóc w rozwijaniu samoświadomości.22

Formy leczenia i terapii

Leczenie zaburzenia osobowości antyspołecznego jest wyzwaniem, ponieważ pacjenci często nie uznają, że ich zachowania i myśli są szkodliwe.23 Jednakże dostępne są opcje leczenia, które mogą pomóc w zarządzaniu niezdrowych myśli i zachowań:

Psychoterapia

Główną formą leczenia zaburzenia osobowości antyspołecznego jest psychoterapia:242526

  • Terapia poznawczo-behawioralna (CBT) – pomaga zidentyfikować i zmienić zniekształcone wzorce myślenia przyczyniające się do szkodliwych zachowań
  • Terapia dialektyczno-behawioralna (DBT) – łączy przekonania i zasady terapii poznawczych z praktykami uważności, może być stosowana do poprawy umiejętności regulacji emocji i kontroli impulsywności
  • Terapia interpersonalna (IPT) – może pomóc w poprawie relacji i połączeń z innymi, poprawiając relacje społeczne
  • Psychoterapia psychodynamiczna – bada nieświadome myśli i przeszłe doświadczenia, które mają wpływ na obecne zachowania
  • Terapia oparta na mentalizacji (MBT) – koncentruje się na rozwijaniu zdolności rozumienia stanów umysłowych własnych i innych osób

Programy rehabilitacji grupowej mogą być również korzystne dla pacjentów z ASPD, ponieważ koncentrują się na promowaniu pozytywnych umiejętności interakcji i zmniejszaniu przestępczych, manipulacyjnych, wykorzystujących i innych antyspołecznych zachowań.27 W systemie wymiaru sprawiedliwości coraz częściej kładzie się nacisk na programy dla zidentyfikowanych przestępców, które zapewniają umieszczenie w społecznościach terapeutycznych lub specjalistycznych jednostkach więziennych, aby zwalczać charakter recydywy i przerwać cykl, w którym znajdują się pacjenci.28

Farmakoterapia

Nie ma leków specjalnie zatwierdzonych przez FDA do leczenia zaburzenia osobowości antyspołecznego.29 Jednak niektóre leki mogą być przepisywane do leczenia współistniejących stanów lub określonych objawów:303132

  • Leki przeciwdepresyjne – mogą pomóc w leczeniu depresji i lęku
  • Leki przeciwpsychotyczne – mogą być stosowane w leczeniu agresji i zmian nastroju
  • Stabilizatory nastroju (np. lit, walproinian) – mogą być korzystne u pacjentów agresywnych z wyraźną impulsywnością i labilnym afektem

Ważne jest, aby leczyć zaburzenia współistniejące (np. zaburzenia nastroju, zaburzenia związane z używaniem substancji) zgodnie z ich preferowanym podejściem.33 Farmaceuci powinni zwracać uwagę na potencjalne niebezpieczeństwa i interakcje leków, szczególnie te, które mogą wpływać na odstęp QTc.34

Wyzwania w opiece pielęgniarskiej

Opieka nad pacjentami z zaburzeniem osobowości antyspołecznym stanowi znaczące wyzwanie w dziedzinie pielęgniarstwa psychiatrycznego z kilku powodów:3536

Trudności w angażowaniu pacjentów w leczenie

Pacjenci z ASPD rzadko sami szukają pomocy i często odrzucają oferowane leczenie. Mogą szukać pomocy tylko wtedy, gdy są do tego zmuszeni przez sąd lub gdy cierpią z powodu współistniejących zaburzeń, takich jak depresja czy ADHD.3738 Pielęgniarki muszą wykazać się cierpliwością i wytrwałością w budowaniu relacji terapeutycznej z tymi pacjentami.

Zachowania manipulacyjne i brak empatii

Pacjenci z ASPD są często biegli w oszukiwaniu innych, dlatego podczas oceny pomocne jest sprawdzanie i walidacja informacji z innych źródeł.39 Manipulacyjne zachowania mogą prowadzić do trudności w ustanowieniu autentycznej relacji terapeutycznej. Pielęgniarki powinny zachować ostrożność (szczególnie w przypadku nowych, słabo zdefiniowanych chorób), być sprawiedliwe i konsekwentne oraz ustalać jasne granice.40

Ocena ryzyka i zapewnienie bezpieczeństwa

Należy przeprowadzić dokładną ocenę ryzyka, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem historii przemocy pacjenta, najlepiej z wykorzystaniem zwalidowanych instrumentów, takich jak Historical Clinical Risk-20 (HCR-20).41 Leczenie powinno rozpocząć się tylko wtedy, gdy jest to bezpieczne i skuteczne zarówno dla pacjenta, jak i klinicysty.42

W przypadku opieki nad pacjentem z zaburzeniem osobowości antyspołecznym, pielęgniarka powinna:434445

  • Zaufać swojej intuicji – jeśli coś nie wydaje się właściwe, prawdopodobnie nie jest
  • Zapewnić odpowiednie granice fizyczne i emocjonalne, aby zachować bezpieczeństwo
  • Ustalić jasne oczekiwania i limity
  • Zachować ostrożność, gdy pacjent prosi o zaufanie – osoby z ASPD często proszą o zaufanie, co powinno być sygnałem ostrzegawczym

Hospitalizacja i opieka instytucjonalna

Większość potrzeb związanych z zaburzeniem osobowości antyspołecznym można zaspokoić w warunkach ambulatoryjnych. Hospitalizacja nie jest kosztowo efektywna, ponieważ daje niewielkie lub żadne korzyści osobom z ASPD i jest bardzo kosztowna.46 Ponadto obecność osób z ASPD w szpitalu psychiatrycznym zakłóca środowisko, wpływając na leczenie innych pacjentów potrzebujących opieki terapeutycznej.

Hospitalizacja jest zarezerwowana dla leczenia współistniejących stanów lub możliwych powikłań, takich jak intoksykacja/odstawienie substancji psychoaktywnych lub niedawne zachowania samobójcze.47 Kryteria hospitalizacji pacjentów z zaburzeniami osobowości są generalnie takie same jak w przypadku pacjentów z zaburzeniami psychiatrycznymi osi I: bezpośrednie zagrożenie dla siebie lub innych, niezdolność do zaspokojenia podstawowych potrzeb lub czynniki stresujące psychospołeczne przekraczające zdolność pacjenta do radzenia sobie.48

Pacjenci z zaburzeniami osobowości często nie są hospitalizowani specjalnie z powodu swojego zaburzenia, ale mogą wymagać opieki szpitalnej z powodu dolegliwości fizycznych i będą również wymagać monitorowania ich zdrowia psychicznego.49 W przypadku ASPD pacjenci mogą otrzymywać leczenie psychiatryczne jako alternatywę dla pozbawienia wolności, ponieważ to zaburzenie często charakteryzuje się niezdolnością do przestrzegania prawa i lekkomyślnym zachowaniem, takim jak bójki czy prowadzenie pojazdu pod wpływem alkoholu.50

Edukacja i wsparcie dla rodzin

Członkowie rodziny mogą być ważni w procesie zdrowienia pacjenta i mogą współpracować z dostawcą opieki zdrowotnej pacjenta w zakresie najbardziej skutecznych sposobów pomocy i wsparcia.51 Jednakże posiadanie członka rodziny z zaburzeniem osobowości może być również stresujące. Członkowie rodziny mogą skorzystać z rozmowy z dostawcą usług zdrowia psychicznego, który może pomóc w radzeniu sobie z trudnościami.52

Opieka nad osobą z zaburzeniem osobowości antyspołecznym może być złożona i burzliwa. Osoby, które mieszkają z kimś z ASPD, szczególnie nieleczonym, są narażone na szkody fizyczne, psychiczne i emocjonalne.53

Wskazówki dla członków rodziny i bliskich osób z ASPD:5455

  • Szukanie profesjonalnej pomocy od licencjonowanego terapeuty, psychiatry lub innego specjalisty zdrowia psychicznego może pomóc w poruszaniu się w tej sytuacji, przepracowaniu wszelkich trudnych uczuć i nauce skutecznych strategii radzenia sobie
  • Jeśli czujesz się niebezpiecznie lub obawiasz się zakończenia relacji lub ustalenia granic, skonsultuj się ze specjalistą przed podjęciem jakichkolwiek decyzji
  • Dbaj o siebie – samoopieka jest bardzo ważna dla utrzymania własnego zdrowia i dobrego samopoczucia
  • Uzyskaj wsparcie poprzez udział w grupach wsparcia, aby dowiedzieć się więcej o ustalaniu granic i ochronie przed agresją i gniewem
  • Terapia indywidualna może pomóc w ustanowieniu mechanizmów radzenia sobie i ustaleniu granic, aby nie doznać krzywdy
  • Terapia grupowa może również pomóc – spotkanie osób w podobnych sytuacjach, które mogą opiekować się kimś z zaburzeniem osobowości antyspołecznym, może być korzystne

Długoterminowe zarządzanie i rokowanie

Nie ma lekarstwa na zaburzenie osobowości antyspołeczne. Zarządzanie stanem jest możliwe dzięki leczeniu, które jest dożywotnie.56 Odpowiednie leczenie może pomóc w dostosowaniu zachowania i zmniejszeniu szkód dla otaczających osób. Utrzymywanie zdrowych relacji i posiadanie systemu wsparcia są kluczowymi czynnikami w długoterminowym zarządzaniu ASPD.57

Zaburzenie osobowości antyspołeczne było uważane za zaburzenie trwające całe życie, ale nie zawsze tak jest. Czasami można nim zarządzać i leczyć.58 Rokowanie jest zmienne. Jednak, choć często przewlekłe i trwające całe życie, wiele osób z zaburzeniami osobowości poprawia się z czasem, szczególnie jeśli zapewnione jest skuteczne wsparcie.59

Badania wykazały, że zmiany w cechach osobowości wraz z wiekiem i zwiększona śmiertelność związana z zachowaniem ASPD są hipotetyczną przyczyną tej zależnej od wieku zmiany.60 Niektóre dowody sugerują, że osoby z zaburzeniem osobowości antyspołecznym mogą z czasem poprawić swój stan, w oparciu o leczenie medyczne lub złagodzenie objawów z powodu starzenia się.61

Pielęgniarka ocenia skuteczność leczenia na podstawie osiągnięcia lub postępu w kierunku rezultatów. Jeśli pacjent może utrzymać pracę z akceptowalną wydajnością, spełniać podstawowe obowiązki rodzinne i unikać popełniania nielegalnych lub niemoralnych czynów, to leczenie było skuteczne.62

    Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is a deeply ingrained and rigid dysfunctional thought process that focuses on social irresponsibility with exploitive, delinquent, and criminal behavior with no remorse. Disregard for and violation of the rights of others are common manifestations of this personality disorder, which displays symptoms that include failure to conform to the law, inability to sustain consistent employment, deception, manipulation for personal gain, and incapacity to form stable relationships. […] Nursing Diagnosis: Low self-esteem, Risk for self-harm or violence, Impairment in social interactions, Inability to cope. […] Most of the needs of antisocial personality disorder are addressable in the outpatient setting. Hospitalization is not cost-effective as it provides little to no benefit to those with ASPD, and it is very costly. Also, the presence of those with ASPD in a psychiatric hospital disrupts the environment, thus affecting the treatment of other patients in need of therapeutic care. Hospitalization is reserved for treating co-occurring conditions or possible complications, such as substance intoxication/withdrawal or recent suicidal behavior.

    Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by selfish, irresponsible, unlawful, and impulsive behavior that shows a lack of regard for the rights of others. Individuals with antisocial personality disorder find it easy to lie if it serves their purpose. Physical aggression is common. Trouble at work can result from not arriving on time, missing too many days, not doing their work, or not following the rules. There is a general failure to conform to society’s rules either by engaging in illegal activities or not honoring obligations. Examples of antisocial behavior include quitting a job without other work in sight, spending money on things that one could do without thus being unable to pay for household necessities such as food, rent, or the utility bill. Reckless driving, speeding tickets, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and ignoring recommended safety precautions are examples of a lack of regard for the safety of oneself or others. Individuals with antisocial personality disorder usually do not feel remorseful at having hurt others but instead justify or rationalize their behavior. A person with antisocial personality disorder may not conform to social norms, may repeatedly lie or deceive others, or may act impulsively.

    Clients are skillful at deceiving others, so during assessment, it helps to check and to validate information from other sources. […] People with antisocial personality disorder generally do not seek treatment voluntarily unless they perceive some personal gain from doing so. For example, a client may choose a treatment setting as an alternative to jail or to gain sympathy from an employer; they may cite stress as a reason for absenteeism or poor performance. Inpatient treatment settings are not necessarily effective for these clients and may, in fact, bring out their worst qualities. […] Nursing diagnoses commonly used when working with these clients include the following: Ineffective Coping, Ineffective Role Performance, Risk for Other-Directed Violence. […] The treatment focus often is behavioral change. Although treatment is unlikely to affect the clients insight or view of the world and others, it is possible to make changes in behavior. Treatment outcomes may include the following: The client will demonstrate nondestructive ways to express feelings and frustration, The client will identify ways to meet his or her own needs that do not infringe on the rights of others, The client will achieve or maintain satisfactory role performance (e.g., at work or as a parent).

[…] If a family member or loved one is displaying signs of antisocial personality disorder, the psychiatric specialists at Baptist Health may be able to help. […] The treatment of ASPD centers on different forms of psycho- or talk therapy. […] Therapy is the chief form of treatment for ASPD but is sometimes supplemented with medication. […] The outlook for persons with ASPD is uncertain. Much depends on the individuals willingness to cooperate with therapeutic protocols and to enact necessary changes in behavior.

[…] If you’re looking for treatment options or more information about ASPD, please contact a behavioral health provider with Baptist Health today.
