Anxiety and depression: Incidence and patterns in patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery

Effects of discharge teaching and counselling on anxiety and depression level of CABG patients

“…The high levels of anxiety and depression can be explained by the fact that the patients were having difficulties with hospitalization, were in an unfamiliar environment, were separated from loved ones, were dependent on others, and had lack of information about CABG surgery. [5,14] However the high levels of anxiety and depression decreased as the recovery time progressed (Table 2, 3). In spite of decreasing, one of the clearest findings of this study was the fact that the patients in the control group had higher anxiety and depression scores at the time of discharge, and one week and one month after discharge compared to the patients in the intervention group (Table 4).…”

“…The existing literature indicates a high incidence of depression or depressive symptoms in patients who have undergone CABG surgery and the results of the control group patients in our study are similar to literature findings. [8,10,12,14] Another possible reason for the lower level of anxiety and depression scores in the intervention group is the successful completion of surgery since the related literature concludes the anxiety and depression level is likely to be lower if the patients feel that they were cured, prepared for discharge and care, and ready to return to their own environment and families. [14,18] Higher patient anxiety and depression scores in the control group at the time of discharge, and one week and one month after discharge could be related to concerns about the future and lack of knowledge of appropriate practices at home and how to manage potential problems since they did not receive planned discharge and counselling.…”

“…They have a negative impact on patients' attempts to reduce risk factors, quality-of-life issues, patients' adaptation to treatment and exercise programs, patients' satisfaction, and increased length of hospitalization, readmission causing infection, respiratory complications and pleuritic chest pain. [9,14,15] As a result they experience further anxiety and depression.…”

Psychological and Social Factors of Labor Prognosis in Coronary Vessel Surgery

“…В на-стоящее время значимость комплексной (в том числе психосоциальной) реабилитации боль-ных ИБС, перенесших реваскуляризацию мио-карда, возрастает и определяется признанной ролью психологических факторов в патогенезе заболевания (Белялов, 2002;Смулевич, Сыр-кин, 2005;Винокур, 2008Винокур, , Ades, 2001, а также резким возрастанием заболеваемости ИБС в цивилизованных странах, где это заболевание становится одной из главных причин инвалид-ности и смертности лиц трудоспособного воз-раста (Оганов, Масленникова, 2007;Wyszynski, Schwartz, 2004;Thomas, 2005). Кроме того, лечебно-реабилитационный процесс при ИБС сопряжен со значительными экономическими затратами, и для его оптимизации необходим учет психологических факторов, так как само лечение, прежде всего, оперативное вмеша-тельство, может выступать важным стрессо-генным фактором и влиять на психоэмоцио-нальное состояние больного, а значит, на ход лечебно-восстановительных мероприятий (Ве-ликанов с соавт., 2007).…”

Psychoeducational support to post cardiac surgery heart failure patients and their partners—A randomised pilot study

“…In addition to the problems with the cardiac disease itself, the postoperative course is also burdened with reduced emotional and functional wellbeing. Areas of concern for both the cardiac surgery patient (Tully et al , 2008) and the family during recovery are anxiety, sadness and depression and worsened health-related quality of life (HRQOL) (McCrone et al , 2001, Tully et al , 2009). These emotions can negatively affect the physical and social recovery of the patient and have a negative impact on family functioning (Doering LV, 2005, Knoll SM, 2000, Lopez V, 2007.…”
