“…This means that higher levels of positivity corresponded to lower levels of anxiety, depression, and psychological discomfort, ultimately leading to greater well-being. These findings align with previous research, underscoring the significance of positivity in the psychological well-being of CVD patients [ 11 , 18 , 19 ]. Maintaining a positive outlook can help prevent emotional states that may become pathological when prolonged, such as elevated levels of anxiety and depression.…”

Psychological well-being is a good predictor of several health outcomes in cardiovascular disease patients (adherence, quality of life, and healthy behaviors). The perception of health control and a positive orientation seem to have a beneficial effect on health and well-being. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the role of the health locus of control and positivity in the psychological well-being and quality of life of cardiovascular patients. A total of 593 cardiac outpatients completed the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale, the Positivity Scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale at baseline (January 2017) and 9 m later (follow-up; n = 323). A Spearman rank correlation coefficient and a structural equation modeling approach were determined to explore the relationships between those variables both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. A cross-sectional correlation analysis at baseline revealed that the internal health locus of control and positivity were negatively associated with anxiety (rs = −0.15 and −0.44, ps < 0.01) and depression (rs = −0.22 and −0.55, ps < 0.01) and positively associated with health-related quality of life (rs = 0.16 and 0.46, ps < 0.01). Similar outcomes were found at follow-up and in longitudinal correlations. According to the path analysis, positivity was found to be negatively associated with anxiety and depression level at baseline (β = −0.42 and −0.45, ps < 0.001). Longitudinally, positivity was negatively associated with depression (β = 0.15, p < 0.01) and together with the internal health locus of control, was positively associated with health-related quality of life (β = 0.16 and 0.10, respectively, ps < 0.05). These findings suggest that focusing on the health locus of control and especially positivity may be crucial in enhancing the psychological well-being of patients in the context of cardiac care. The potential impact of these results on future interventions is discussed.

“…Recent research has shown the association and relevance of psychological well-being or distress among patients with CVD [ 11 , 18 , 19 ]. Studies have found that increased levels of well-being were related to improved CVH [ 11 ] and lower odds of mortality due to a cardiac event [ 6 , 20 ].…”

“…A meta-analysis [45] showed that interventions-mindfulness, cognitive approaches, and other psychological interventions-were particularly effective in increasing subjective (hedonic) wellbeing. Additionally, a gratitude intervention in women found that participants had greater life satisfaction and lower diastolic blood pressure [46], while another eHealth intervention in patients with CVD was found to improve subjective wellbeing [47]. Furthermore, healthcare providers may benefit from considering patients' subjective wellbeing and SRH when evaluating and managing those at risk for cardiovascular disease.…”

Subjective wellbeing may predict future health conditions, and lower self-rated physical health (SRH) is associated with the presence of chronic conditions, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study examines whether subjective wellbeing and SRH predict long-term CVD conditions for women using the Midlife in the United States study. The study cohort includes 1716 women participants who completed waves 1 (1995–1996), 2 (2004–2006), and 3 (2013–2014). Data on demographics, chronic conditions of diabetes and CVD, subjective wellbeing (life satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect), and SRH were collected repeatedly at each wave. Multiple logistic regressions were conducted to test whether subjective wellbeing was associated with a lifetime CVD risk. Greater life satisfaction was significantly associated with a lower risk of CVD at 10 years (odds ratio (OR): 0.83; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.74–0.95) and 19 years (OR: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.74–0.93), while positive and negative affects were not significantly associated. Additionally, better physical SRH significantly lowered odds of having cardiovascular conditions at both 10 years (OR: 0.79; 95% CI 0.68–0.92) and 19 years (OR 0.74; 95% CI: 0.64–0.86). Measures of life satisfaction and SRH can be used as additional CVD screening tools.
