Abstract

Objectives : Borderline personality features are known to increase recurrence rate and suicidal risk in depressive patients. The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation of early life stress experience, resilience, personality factors, and other psychosocial factors on borderline personality features in patients with major depressive disorder. Methods : A total 27 participants with major depressive disorder completed Early Life Stress Questionnaire, Korean Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology, Korean Resilience Quotient-53, Temperament and Character Inventory, Personality Assessment Inventory-Borderline Features Scale. To analyze the effect of multiple factors on borderline personality features, stepwise multiple regression analysis was used. Results : Borderline personality features were not significantly correlated with any of the social factors, and depressive symptomatology. Borderline personality features were positively correlated with sexual abuse history in early life stress experience, novelty seeking in temperament and character inventory, and negatively correlated with self-regulation in resilience. Conclusion : This result shows borderline personality features in depressive patients are associated with specific early life stress events, resilience, temperament, and character. Understanding factors affecting borderline personality features will provide clues for improving treatment of patients with major depressive disorder
