“…Moreover, this research has revealed that adult respondents who reported absence of cardiovascular diseases demonstrated significantly lower scores for negative emotions and significantly higher scores for flourishing, life satisfaction, positive emotions, psychological capital, self-efficacy, hope, resilience, and optimism than those who reported cardiovascular diseases which is in line with many other findings ( Besharat et al, 2018 ; Boehm and Kubzansky, 2012 ; Gaitan-Sierra and Hyland, 2011 ; Hall et al, 2010 ; Mittag et al, 2016 ).…”

“…Based on the literature, we have chosen to investigate a sample of adults, and we assumed that any illness experience diminishes psychological wellbeing as psychological wellbeing is related to health ( Boehm and Kubzansky, 2012 ; Cimpean and David, 2019 ; Costanzo et al, 2009 ; Di Giuseppe et al, 2019 ; Fredrickson, 2000 ; Gick, 2011 ; Lai and Ma, 2016 ; Levin, 2013 ; Ma and Lai, 2018 ; Mittag et al, 2016 ; Røysamb et al, 2003 ; Schöllgen et al, 2016 ; Sibulwa et al, 2019 ; Staudinger et al, 1999 ; Wiest et al, 2011 ).…”

“…A lot of research investigated psychological outcomes of illness ( Besharat et al, 2018 ; Boehm and Kubzansky, 2012 ; Costanzo et al, 2009 ; Di Giuseppe et al, 2019 ; Hall et al, 2010 ; Mittag et al, 2016 ; Sibulwa et al, 2019 ; Wiest et al, 2011 ). Results vary from one disease to another, but the most relevant questions are: What factors determine psychological wellbeing in illness and health?…”

The purpose of this research was to examine psychological wellbeing and psychological capital in groups of subjectively healthy and unhealthy individuals and identify significant associations. We have analyzed the results of a Lithuanian representative sample of adults ( n = 1001). Results showed that adult respondents who reported the absence of cardiovascular diseases, nervous system diseases, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, vision disorders, physical or mental disability, and substance abuse demonstrated significantly higher scores for flourishing, life satisfaction, psychological capital, self-efficacy, hope, and resilience. The model on associations between the number of reported diseases, psychological capital, and wellbeing in the representative sample of adults (χ2 = 110.786, df = 16; CFI = .981; RMSEA = .077; NFI = 0.978; TLI = 0.968) indicated that a higher number of diseases (per person) predicts a weakening effect on psychological capital, while psychological capital predicts psychological wellbeing.

“…This is important because patients with CVD who report low trust in their healthcare professional are at a higher risk of experiencing worsening of their depressive symptoms. 30 Furthermore, patients with HF who still have, or have developed, depressive symptoms 18 months after discharge from the hospital are at a higher risk of a worsening prognosis. 31 This highlights the importance of seeing the patient as a whole and not only as a heart disease.…”

How Healthcare Professionals in Cardiac Care Address Depressive Symptoms

et al. 2020

Background: Depressive symptoms are common in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and are associated with a poorer quality of life and prognosis. Despite the high prevalence and negative consequences, the recognition of depressive symptoms is low. More knowledge about patients' perceptions of how depressive symptoms are addressed by healthcare professionals is therefore needed. Objectives:The aim of this study was to explore CVD patients' experiences of how healthcare professionals address and manage depressive symptoms in clinical cardiac-care encounters.Methods: A qualitative, semi-structured interview study was performed. Data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis.Results: In total, 20 CVD patients previously treated for depressive symptoms were included (mean age 62 (range 34-79), 45% women). Three main themes emerged: (1) Not being seen as a whole person, (2) Denying depressive symptoms and (3) Being provided with help. The patients perceived that health-care professionals mainly focused on somatic symptoms and disregarded their need for help for depressive symptoms when patients raised the issue. Some patients stated that they received help for depressive symptoms, but this depended on the patients' own ability to communicate their needs, and/or having social support that could alert them to the importance of doing so. Patients also described that they downplayed the burden of depressive symptoms and/or did not recognize themselves as having depressive symptoms. Conclusion:Depressive symptoms were overlooked in CVD patients and psychological needs had not been met. A good ability to address needs and having good social support were useful for receiving help with depressive symptoms.

“…However, the type of disease, psychiatric or not, might not be the only risk factor of non-recommended use since chronicity and severity might also impact the risk of non-recommended benzodiazepine use. Indeed, patients with non-psychiatric chronic diseases such as cancer [15][16][17], cardiovascular diseases [18][19][20] or diabetes [21][22][23] use benzodiazepines more often than the general population [24][25][26][27]. It is therefore questionable whether the risk of use non-compliant with guidelines is increased in these particularly vulnerable populations with psychiatric or non-psychiatric conditions, and whether the increase in this risk is similar across these different chronic diseases.…”
