Key result
Type D personality, cardiac function status, social support, symptom experience, and resilience explained 55% of the total variance in quality of life in patients with recurrent CAD.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to construct and verify a model explaining quality of life in patients with recurrent coronary artery disease.
Cross-Sectional (n=212)
Effect estimate: 55% of total variance explained
Psychological and functional factors, including Type D personality and resilience, significantly predict quality of life in patients with recurrent CAD undergoing PCI.
May inform supportive care planning in recurrent CAD; leaves open prospective validation of predictive models.
BACKGROUND: The aims of this study were to construct and verify a model that explains the quality of life in patients with recurrent coronary artery disease. METHODS: Participants were 212 patients with recurrent coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Data were collected through structured questionnaires from 21 December 2016-30 April 2017, and were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0. RESULTS: The model's fit indices were adequate. Type D personality, symptom experience, and resilience had a direct effect on quality of life, while type D personality, cardiac function status, social support, and resilience had an indirect effect on quality of life. Type D personality, cardiac function status, social support, symptom experience, and resilience explained 55% of the total variance in quality of life. Thus, type D personality, cardiac function status, social support, symptom experience, and resilience affected the quality of life in patients with recurrent coronary artery disease. CONCLUSIONS: Systematic and integrated intervention programs considering factors related to quality of life may be useful for improving quality of life for patients with recurrent coronary artery disease.
