Piekeren en lichamelijke gezondheid: een literatuuroverzicht
Samenvatting
In dit overzichtsartikel wordt beschreven welke invloed piekergedachten hebben op onze lichamelijke gezondheid. Volgens de Perseveratieve Cognitie Hypothese verklaren perseveratieve cognities, zoals piekeren, waarom mensen ziek kunnen worden van stress. Door te blijven piekeren over een stressvolle gebeurtenis wordt de stressrespons onnodig verlengd, wat bijdraagt aan de zogeheten ‘wear and tear' effecten van stress op het lichaam. We geven een overzicht van de onderzoeken naar de relatie tussen piekeren en organische ziekten, lichamelijke klachten en de verlenging van de fysiologische stressrespons. Over het geheel genomen ondersteunen de uitkomsten de Perseveratieve Cognitie Hypothese: langdurig piekeren kan de lichamelijke gezondheid bedreigen, en lijkt de effecten van stressvolle gebeurtenissen te mediëren. Dit zou ten dele ook de lichamelijke gezondheidsrisico's van psychopathologie (met name angststoornissen en depressie) verklaren Het aantal studies is echter wel nog beperkt en is vooral gericht op de ontwikkeling van hart- en vaatziekten.
