This study examined the effect of gender on symptom evaluation, symptom response, and physical functioning following coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Symptom evaluation and symptom response were measured at baseline and 2, 4, and 6 weeks and 3 months following surgery, and physical functioning was measured at baseline, 6 weeks, and 3 months. The sample included 46 men and 19 women randomly assigned to the routine care group of a larger study examining symptom management intervention influence on recovery outcomes in elderly coronary artery bypass graft patients. No significant differences were found in symptom evaluation, symptom response, or physical functioning by gender over time. Women reported consistently higher symptom evaluation scores for shortness of breath, fatigue, depression, sleep disturbance, swelling, and anxiety and lower mean physical and vitality subscale scores than men at every time point. Gender-specific symptom management strategies should be developed and tested to address the differences in the reporting of symptoms by men and women.

“…In a study testing the opposite path, post-CABG depression status was predicted by somatic factors such as chronic noncardiac illnesses, postoperative fatigue, and shortness of breath. 8 Surprisingly, to our knowledge, no study to date has assessed the bidirectional influences of depression on PF and PF on depression in the context of CABG. To meet the methodological challenge that is connected to this question, the present study applied a cross-lagged panel design.…”

“…Patients reported anxiety, depression, anger, and mood swings (Artinian & Duggan, 1995;Cay & O'Rourke, 1992;Gillis, 1983;King & Parrinello, 1988;Moore, 1993Moore, , 1994aMoore, , 1994bMoore, , 1995Rankin, 1990;Timberlake et al, 1997;Willner & Rodewald, 1990). Depression in CABG patients has been reported with a frequency of up to 50% of patients at 8 weeks after surgery (Timberlake et al, 1997) and may be persistent and may affect patients' well-being for 6 months to 1 year following CABG surgery (Ai et al, 1997;Hagen, 1991;Lindal, 1990;McKhann, Borowicz, Goldsborough, Enger, & Selnes, 1997;Timberlake et al, 1997;Willner & Rodewald, 1990). However, no studies have examined psychological functioning during the first 2 weeks after discharge in Thai CABG patients.…”

Recovery symptoms and related mood states during early recovery after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) have never been assessed in Thailand. This cross-sectional descriptive correlational study was to identify the relationships between frequency of recovery symptoms and mood states of a convenience sample of 91 Thai CABG patients during 2 weeks after discharge. Standardized tools/procedures were used to measure the variables of interest. The most common recovery symptoms were chest and leg incision pain, having trouble sleeping, and neck and shoulder or back discomfort. The most common mood states were confusion, anxiety, and anger, respectively. In addition, Thai CABG patients who had more frequent recovery symptoms also had greater negative mood disturbance. These findings provide a beginning explanation about the phenomena of recovery symptoms and mood states in a specific culture, Thai CABG patients.
