Abstract

Background: Leukocytes form the major immune cells protect the body against foreign agents and pathogens. HARDINESS is personality characteristic known as the most important factor in modulatoring the negative effects of stress on IMMUNE SYSTEM. Various clinical studies have confirmed the relationship of this character with psychological and body health. However, no remarkable investigations carry out the relationship between HARDINESS and immune cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of HARDINESS (and its subscales) with IMMUNE SYSTEM cells among PHARMACY STUDENTS of Ahvaz Jundishapour University of Medical Sciences, Iran.Methods: In this descriptive-correlational study, 62 students exposed to comprehensive exam of basic sciences were randomly selected. The instrument was Cobasa questionnaire to evaluate the HARDINESS personality characteristics and its subscales (commitment, challenge and control). Blood samples were collected from students for analysis of immune cells including WBC count and its subgroups using hematology test (CBC method) and also percentage of T-cell subpopulations and CD56 NK (natural killer) cells by flow cytometry technique. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation test.Findings: There was a significant positive correlation between HARDINESS and CD4+T-cells, CD4/CD8 and neutrophil levels (P<0.05 for all), while there was a significant negative correlation between HARDINESS and the percentage of CD8+T cells and eosinophil (P<0.05).Conclusion: It seems that individuals with high HARDINESS may have stronger and more balanced IMMUNE SYSTEM to cope with injurious factors.
