Holding on to hope may not make patients happier as they deal with chronic illness or diseases, according to a new study by University of Michigan Health System researchers.
" Hope is an important part of happiness," said Peter A. Ubel M. D. , director of the U-M Center for Behavioral and Decision Sciences in Medicine and one of the authors of the happily hopeless study, "but there’s a dark side of hope. Sometimes, if hope makes people put off getting on with their life, it can get in the way of happiness. "
The results showed that people do not adapt well to situations if they are believed to be shortened. Ubel and his co-authors—both from U-M and Carnegie Mellon University—studied patients who had new colostomies: their colons were removed and they had to have bowel movements in a pouch that lies outside their body.
At the time they received their colostomy, some patients were told that the colostomy was reversible-that they would undergo a second operation to reconnect their bowels after several months. Others were told that the colostomy was permanent and that they would never have normal bowel function again. The second group, the one without hope, reported being happier over the next six months than those with reversible colostomies.
"We think they were happier because they got on with their lives. They realized the cards they were dealt, and recognized that they had no choice but to play with those cards," says Ubel, who is also a professor in the Department of Internal Medicine.
"The other group was waiting for their colostomy to be reversed," he added. "They contrasted their current life with the life they hoped to lead, and didn’t make the best of their current situation. "
"Hopeful messages may not be in the best interests of the patient and may interfere with the patient’s emotional adaptation," Ubel says. "I don’t think we should take hope away. But I think we have to be careful about building up people’s hope so much that they put off living their lives. "
The other group was not as happy because______.
选项
A、they accepted their current situation
B、they were anxious to get better
C、they missed their previous life
D、they refused to play cards
答案
B
解析
细节题。答案所在段是第六段。第六段说不幸福的那组“他们将生活现状与自己的理想进行对比,不能妥善处理现状”。由此可见,正确选项为B。
