Abstract

Objective: Analysis of adult attachment in a very stressful situation, i.e., surgery. Methods: Two widely used adult attachment measurements --Relationship Questionnaire(RQ) and Experiences in Close Relationship Inventory(ECR)-are administered to 50 surgery patients in a hospital. Their personal information is also collected. Results: The distribution of 50 patients' adult attachment is: 18(36%) of them are secure, 20(40%) Dismissing, 6(12%) Preoccupied, 6(12%) Fearful. Moreover, attachment anxiety measured by ECR has negative correlation with model-of-self measured by RQ (P0.01), while attachment avoidance negatively related to both model-of-self and model-of-other (P0.05). Conclusion: The adult attachment styles of 50 surgery patients are different from college student sample. The two adult attachment measurements highly correlated with each other.
