“…A total of 18 studies, including the 4 above, reported prevalence data 1 month or longer after AMI without necessarily distinguishing persistent depression from new incidence and remission patterns. Of the 18 studies, 7 employed commonly used standardized clinical interviews for the diagnosis of depression, 33,36,44,49–52 11 used validated questionnaires or rating scales such as the BDI, 39,40,42,44,47 the Zung Depression Rating Scale (ZDS), 55,57 the HADS, 26,28 the SCL‐90 Depression Subscale, 54 or the Depression Scale, 56 and one used Goldberg's Clinical Interview Schedule 53 (Table 3). The studies varied widely in terms of method and timing of assessment and reported prevalence rates.…”

“…19,20 It has also been useful in creating and informing new behavioral therapies such as ''behavioral cardiology'' that seek to reduce the patient's risk for negative health outcomes by improving their ability to cope with stressful emotions and challenges. Now in the third-edition, Problem-Solving Therapy lays out a positive psychology and stress and coping approach to enhance adaptive coping as a way to avert exacerbations in chronic diseases.…”

In a sample of adults with asthma receiving care and medication in an outpatient pulmonary clinic, this study tested for statistical associations between social problem-solving styles, asthma control, and asthma-related quality of life. These variables were measured cross sectionally as a first step toward more systematic application of social problem-solving frameworks in asthma self-management training. Recruitment occurred during pulmonology clinic service hours. Forty-four adults with physician-confirmed diagnosis of asthma provided data including age, gender, height, weight, race, income, and comorbid conditions. The Asthma Control Questionnaire, the Mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (Short Form), and peak expiratory force measures offered multiple views of asthma health at the time of the study. Maladaptive coping (impulsive and careless problemsolving styles) based on transactional stress models of health were assessed with the Social Problem-Solving Inventory-Revised: Short Form. Controlling for variance associated with gender, age, and income, individuals reporting higher impulsive-careless scores exhibited significantly lower scores on asthma control (b ¼ 0.70, p ¼ 0.001, confidence interval (CI) [0.37-1.04]) and lower asthma-related quality of life (b ¼ 0.79, p ¼ 0.017,). These findings suggest that specific maladaptive problem-solving styles may uniquely contribute to asthma health burdens. Because problem-solving coping strategies are both measureable and teachable, behavioral interventions aimed at facilitating adaptive coping and problem solving could positively affect patient's asthma management and quality of life.

“…[3][4][5][6][7] In addition, depression is common in the postinfarction period and is a welldocumented predictor of absenteeism, disability, and poor health-related quality of life. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] An estimated 50-90% of people who worked before a myocardial infarction return to work after recovery. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] It is therefore important to assess the effects of a myocardial infarction and any residual physical or mental influences on work performance and attendance rates.…”
