Key result
Quality of life was significantly and positively correlated with self-perceived hope in patients with coronary artery disease (r = 0.337, p < 0.001).
Why the study?
Hope has been suggested to positively affect quality of life in heart disease, but little information is available regarding the relationship between these two constructs.

Quality of life is significantly and positively correlated with self-perceived hope in patients with coronary artery disease.
Hope-QoL link supports exploring interventions; leaves open causality and efficacy before practice change.
BACKGROUND: Psychological resources such as hope have been suggested to affect quality of life (QoL) positively in patients with heart disease. However, little information regarding the relationship between these two constructs is available. PURPOSE: This work was aimed at examining the factors associated with hope and QoL in patients with coronary artery disease. METHODS: In this descriptive work, perceived QoL and hope were assessed in 500 patients with heart disease. The information was collected using the McGill QoL Questionnaire, demographic variables, and the Herth Hope Index. The Pearson correlation test and general linear model were used to examine correlations through SPSS Version 22. RESULTS: A considerable correlation was discovered between QoL and hope (r = .337, p < .001). Multivariate analyses with regression revealed that religious beliefs and social support both had significant and positive effects on the total perceived hope of patients and that patient age had a considerable negative impact on QoL (p < .05). None of these factors had a significant impact on hope (p < .05). In addition, the total QoL had a significant and positive effect on patient feelings and thoughts, whereas the physical problems component of QoL had a significant and negative effect on hope (p < .05). Participants with higher levels of education reported more hope. CONCLUSIONS: QoL relates significantly to self-perceived hope in patients. Understanding QoL and hopefulness in patients with coronary artery disease has implications for nurses and other healthcare professionals.

Soleimani et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary artery disease (n=500). Quality of life and hope was evaluated on Correlation between quality of life and hope (r = 0.337, p=<0.001). Quality of life was significantly and positively correlated with self-perceived hope in patients with coronary artery disease (r = 0.337, p < 0.001).
