Key result
Patients with coronary artery disease exhibiting a Type I coping profile were 2.57 times more likely to engage in cardiac health behaviors compared to those with a Type II coping profile.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to identify coping profiles among patients with coronary artery disease and evaluate their associations with cardiac health behavior.
Does coping profile type influence engagement in cardiac health behavior in patients with coronary artery disease?

Does coping profile type influence engagement in cardiac health behavior in patients with coronary artery disease?
Odds Ratio: 2.57 (95% CI 1.31–5.07)
Patients with coronary artery disease who utilize a Type I coping profile (predominantly problem-focused) are significantly more likely to engage in positive cardiac health behaviors.
May inform coping assessment in CAD; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Purpose:The aim of this study was to identify the coping profiles of patients with coronary artery disease and to examine their associations with cardiac health behavior.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, data from 203 patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention for coronary artery disease were analyzed.Data collection occurred between September 2020 and June 2021, utilizing self-report questionnaires and electronic medical records at a cardiology outpatient clinic.Descriptive statistics, latent profile analysis, and logistic regression were employed for data analysis.Results: The Type I coping profile was characterized by the greater use of most coping strategies, particularly problem-focused approaches, relative to the other profiles.The Type II coping profile exhibited below-average use of all coping strategies, except for substance use.The Type III coping profile displayed higher tendencies toward venting, self-blame, denial, behavioral disengagement, and substance use compared to the other profiles.Patients with the Type I coping profile displayed greater engagement in cardiac health behavior than those with Type II and Type III, as indicated by odds ratios of 2.57 (95% confidence interval=1.31~5.07)and 7.19 (95% confidence interval=2.10~24.56),respectively.Conclusion: Participation in cardiac health behavior varies according to the coping profiles of patients with coronary artery disease.Healthcare providers should recognize and support appropriate coping strategies in these patients to promote healthy behaviors.A longitudinal study investigating how changes in coping profiles relate to cardiac health behavior could assist patients with coronary artery disease in maintaining such behaviors.

Lee et al. (2024) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary Artery Disease (n=203). Type I coping profile vs. Type II coping profile was evaluated on Engagement in cardiac health behavior (OR 2.57, 95% CI 1.31-5.07). Patients with coronary artery disease exhibiting a Type I coping profile were 2.57 times more likely to engage in cardiac health behaviors compared to those with a Type II coping profile.
