“…However, a systematic scoping review of 21 studies reported that most interventions that aimed to improve social support among CVD patients were unsuccessful (Clayton et al, 2019). Fortunately, the scoping review identified that caregiver-oriented strategies may offer a promising avenue for enhancing social support, but further research was required (Clayton et al, 2019). It may be that a patient's personality and partner's care-giving style play a role in our observed association with greater unmet patient needs.…”

Identification of factors which influence health after a cardiovascular disease (CVD) event will assist with reducing the high health and economic burden of CVD. We undertook a systematic review to investigate the association between social health (lower social isolation, higher social support and lower loneliness) and health and well-being after a CVD event among people living in Australia and New Zealand. Four electronic databases were systematically searched until June 2020. Two reviewers undertook title/abstract screen. One reviewer undertook full-text screen and data extraction. A second author either independently extracted or checked data.Narrative thematic analysis was undertaken. Of the 752 unique records retrieved, 39 papers from 29 studies met our inclusion criteria. Included studies recruited between 10 and 1,455 participants, aged 12-96 years, and the majority were male. Greater social health was consistently associated with better mental health outcomes (lower depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms and psychological distress). Lower social isolation and higher social support were associated with the extent to which patient needs were being met. Living situation was not associated with mental health outcomes, and being married or living with someone was associated with greater medication adherence. Our systematic review demonstrates that greater social health is associated with better mental health outcomes and met patient needs among cardiac patients. As partner status and living status did not align with social isolation and social support findings in this review, we recommend they not be used as social health proxies when assessing health outcomes among CVD patients. Our review highlights the need for more research focused on women and the importance of gender-disaggregated reporting. Further assessment is required to evaluate whether loneliness is associated with health and well-being outcomes after a CVD event.

“…According to the literature, social support has a positive and signi cant association with the heart patients' quality of life and has better outcomes for them [29][30][31][32]. Increasing social support in heart patients can reduce depression, hospitalization, and mortality, as well as increase self-care behaviors, health problems management, and overall quality of life [33,34]. In fact, heart diseases can lead to a wide range of physiological, psychological, socioeconomic, and familial problems [30,31].These problems can cause frustration and disappointment and negatively affect the patients' quality of life [30].…”

Background: Cardiovascular disease significantly impairs quality of life. Inadequate social support has been associated with poor quality of life in patients with Cardiovascular. The aim of this study was to describe social support and explore its association with quality of life among cardiovascular patients.Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in 2020 from September to January. We selected 150 cardiovascular patients through convenience sampling. The structured questionnaires included: the Persian version of the WHOQOL-BREF was used to obtain the necessary data on the quality of life, psychometric evaluation of the interpersonal support evaluation list–short form as well as demographic variables were included in each questionnaire. Hierarchical linear regression models were used to explore the association between perceived social support and quality of life.Results: The demographic variables were able to predict 12.2% of the variance of quality of life in the first step. In the second step, after adjusting control variables, dimensions of social support the predictability increased to 29% of the variance with the addition of variables. All dimensions of social support, excluding tangible assets support, were significant predictors of quality of life in addition to monthly income status. Self-esteem support (β= 0.387) was the higher level of predictor of quality of life in cardiovascular patients.Conclusion: Overall, the current study revealed that social support is one of the strategies that cardiovascular patients can utilize to improve their quality of life and overcome their disease. It is possible to say that enhancing social support in patients improves their health and quality of life.

“…Participants expressed intense demands on emotional support. [39][40][41] Health professionals are expected more to value empathy, understanding, and reassurance on what patients are suffering because they are trained to be so. 42,43 Offered with peers' experiences, patients could absorb practical knowledge from peers to meet their own self-management needs.…”

Purpose: This study is aiming to investigate cardiovascular patients' attitudes towards selfmanagement during hospitalization in China. Patients and Methods: Twenty-nine individuals living with cardiovascular disease from one designated Cardiology Department in Hangzhou, China, were recruited through a purposive sampling procedure. A qualitative descriptive methodology was used. Semi-structured interviews were also used to gain attitudes toward self-management. The interviews were audiorecorded, transcribed and analyzed by thematic analysis to develop the results. Results: Four themes were identified from the qualitative data: (1): Responsibilities of selfmanagement; (2): Reflections on self-management; (3): Acknowledgement of self-management support; (4): Challenges in implementing and adherence to self-management. Additionally, interview data were also given to illustrate these main themes emerging during the analysis. Patients gradually took their responsibilities to manage chronic symptoms. During their self-management process, they did reflections to help correct their regiments through supportive interactions. Health system responsiveness, health disparities, social capital, and cultural setting were the main external factors influencing better self-management implementation and adherence. Conclusion: This study revealed the hospitalized cardiovascular patients' attitudes towards self-management in China. These findings emphasized the importance of patients' responsibility, reflections, and various social support receiving and pointed out specific external factors influencing the health outcomes and their quality of life. This study also proves the guide for the policymakers and health system better instructions to develop individually and culturally tailored advanced self-management interventions and programs.
