Abstract

: For centuries and across countries, the stomach ulcer (gastritis) has been considered a chronic disease, now we have full evidence with the evolution of science that the cure is eventually possible and this regardless of the announcing factor (psychological, genetic, environmental or even bacterial) provided that its management is anticipatory and early, since the complication of the disease would consequently risk becoming chronic and not curative. The present study sought to address the concern of the combined influence of psychotherapeutic management of people living with peptic ulcer disease and the tolerance threshold of aftercare in the context of the city of Butembo (DRC). The objective is to establish the solemnity of psychotherapeutic care as a complement to medicinal and/or chemotherapeutic practices by identifying the bio-socio-psychological explanatory factors of peptic ulcer disease, such as the reinforcement of the subject's coping capacities; the more efficient and simpler implementation of his means of defense; obtaining the greatest possible symptomatic improvement of the subject; freeing him/her from the external constraints of treatment models having a considerable impact on the subject's environment; and facilitating concrete adjustments in the patient's life and/or psychological support in a well-determined crisis period.
