目的 探讨漏斗胸患者的心理健康状况及人格特征，为建立该病的生理—心理—社会综合治疗方案提供依据。方法选取2009-07至2011-05期间入我院胸外科诊治且心理问卷有效的漏斗胸患者146例，使用心理测试软件系统中的明尼苏达多项人格调查表(MMPI)对其进行测试，并与全国成人常模进行差异性比较。结果男性患者效度量表L、F显著低于常模（P＜0.01）；临床量表Hs、Hy、Ma、Si显著高于常模（P＜0.01）；女性患者临床量表Hs、Hy、Mf、Si显著高于常模（P＜0.05）。结论 漏斗胸患者的心身健康水平较低，有其固定的人格特征，术前术后心理测验对于制定合理治疗方案具有重要意义。

Objective To investigate the mental health status and personality characteristics of patients with pectus  excavatum so as to provide important data for comprehensive biopsychosocial treatment schemes. Methods Data were collected from 146 volunteer patients by Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory（MMPI） in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of our hospital between 2009 and 2011 and were compared with Chinese norms for adults. Results Compared with the norms, scores of two validity scales of MMPI were significantly low, including Lie(L) and Frequency(F) （P＜0.01）, scores of four clinical scales were significantly high, including Hypochondriasis（Hs）、Hysteria（Hy）、Mania（Ma）and Social introversion（Si）in male patients, and those of four clinical scales were significantly high, including Hs, Hy, Masculinity-femininity（Mf）and Si in female patients.  Conclusions Patients with pectus excavatum are in poorer psychosomatic health than healthy people, with obvious personality characteristics. So it is important for the patients to undergo psychological tests before and after operation to institute a reasonable treatment.
