Abstract:

Objective    To investigate psychological characteristics of patients with cardiovascular diseases to provide the basis for psychotherapy. Methods    126 patients (the case group) and 143 healthy subjects(the control group) were assessed by the selfcommand generalized information questionnaire, general self-efficacy scale (GSES), trait coping style questionnaire (TCSQ), selfrating anxiety scale (SAS) and selfrating depression scale (SDS). Results    Compared with the control group, the case group had characteristics of older age, increased body mass index (BMI), and decreased physical activity(P<0.05). The scores of negative coping styles, anxiety and depression in the case group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05). Results of logistic regression analysis demonstrated that there was a significant positive association of age, BMI, anxiety and depression with cardiovascular diseases(P<0.05). Negative coping styles were nearly significantly associated with cardiovascular diseases(P=0.056).  Conclusion    Patients with cardiovascular diseases have obvious anxiety and depression, more likely to employ negative coping styles in frustration. Negative coping styles, anxiety, depression, age and BMI are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
