BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is associated with several risk and protective factors, including psychological variables, such as anxiety and depressive symptoms, stress and coping strategies. These factors may be either a cause or a consequence of CVD and are thought to influence the cardiac rehabilitation (CR) process after acute cardiac event, a multifaceted intervention that is crucial for reducing rehospitalisation and mortality. The main aim of this study was to correlate such psychological components with cardiac outcomes in a sample of 315 CVD referred to an in-hospital CR program.
METHODS: Participants completed self-report questionnaires on perceived stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms, and coping styles.
RESULTS: Females (36.51 %) reported higher levels of depressive symptoms and turning to religion as a coping strategy compared to male. Perceived stress did not differ between male and female, but it was found to be significantly higher in heart failure patients, regardless of gender. Functional outcomes after a CR program were not predicted by any psychological variable, whereas clinical outcomes were predicted by depressive symptoms and coping strategies (social support and positive attitude). Finally, perceived health status was predicted by anxiety, depressive symptoms and avoidance.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings confirm the importance of conducting psychological screening in patients with CVD, as recommended by international guidelines, and highlight the need to provide them with adequate psychological support to reduce the adverse consequences of cardiac disease, and to promote protective attitudes and behaviours through tailored psychological interventions to improve outcomes after a CR program.
