Kinesiophobia and its associated factors in patients with coronary heart disease: a cross-sectional study based on latent feature analysis.

OBJECTIVES

The aim of this study was to explore the current situation of kinesiophobia in patients with coronary heart disease, classify it based on potential profile analysis and explore the relevant factors of kinesiophobia in different categories of patients with coronary heart disease.

DESIGN

Cross-sectional study.

SETTING

Patients with coronary heart disease in China.

PARTICIPANTS

Adult (aged >18 years) patients with coronary heart disease in China; 252 participants in this study answered the questionnaire.

Kinesiophobia in patients with coronary heart disease can be divided into low fear type (C1), intermediate fear type (C2) and high fear type (C3). Elderly patients were classified as type C3. Women and patients with a normal BMI were classified as type C1; patients with a normal BMI and patients with an overweight BMI were classified as type C2.
