“…Learned helplessness has an established association with depressive symptoms in numerous populations with chronic illnesses. In studies of learned helplessness in post-AMI patients, positive associations have been shown to exist between a variety of psychosocial factors, including anxiety, perceived control, hostility and anger, emotional distress, quality of life, fatigue, and self-reported pain (Oliveira et al, 2013;Copland et al, 2011;Levy, 1981;Meijer et al, 2013;Meijer et al, 2011;Myers et al, 2012;Reese et al, 2011;Rius-Ottenheim et al, 2013;Roest, Zuidersma, & de Jonge, 2012;Scherrer et al, 2012;Soumya & Sheilini, 2014;Wilski & Sienkiewicz Wilowska, 2014). Findings of this research support the existing evidence linking learned helplessness and depressive symptoms, while providing a unique perspective to its application in individuals following an AMI.…”

“…Without a perceived ability to influence the outcome of a stressful situation, an individual is at high risk for a number of negative health outcomes, such as increased rehospitalizations, increased cardiac mortality, and depressive symptoms. Responses include disengagement and poor adherence to prescribed regimens, as well as learned helplessness, a factor contributing to the development of psychological distress in individuals following AMI (Copland, Joekes, & Ayers, 2011; Lieder et al, 2013; Oliveira et al, 2013).…”

Psychosocial factors are known to impact depressive symptoms across clinical populations. Learned helplessness has the potential of affecting depressive symptoms following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), though little is known about this relationship. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between learned helplessness and depressive symptoms in patients following an AMI. Using a descriptive cross-sectional design, participants with a diagnosed AMI within the past 12 months were recruited. Standardized instruments and measures were used to evaluate learned helplessness and depressive symptoms. A statistically significant direct relationship was found between learned helplessness and depressive symptoms, suggesting that individuals with higher self-reported levels of learned helplessness also reported more depressive symptoms. These results indicate learned helplessness is associated with depressive symptoms in individuals following an AMI. In developing post-AMI treatment plans, health care staff should focus on psychologic points of intervention to the same extent as physiologic interventions.

Numerous factors impact patient recovery following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Negative emotional outcomes, such as learned helplessness, are predictors of mortality following AMI, though little is known about these relationships. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between social support and self-efficacy with learned helplessness in individuals post-AMI. Using a descriptive cross-sectional design, subjects with a diagnosed AMI within 12 months were recruited. Standardized instruments were used to evaluate social support and self-efficacy and their impact on learned helplessness. A statistically significant, direct relationship was found between social support and self-efficacy, and learned helplessness, suggesting that individuals with better social support and self-efficacy experience less learned helplessness within the first year following an AMI. In developing post-AMI treatment plans, health care staff need to consider encouraging a patient's supportive social network and self-efficacy as meaningful interventions against negative emotional outcomes.
