May warrant screening for low perceived control after CABG; leaves open whether interventions improve outcomes.

Higher perceived personal control over cardiac illness prior to CABG surgery predicts better short-term psychological recovery and quality of life, suggesting a potential target for pre-operative behavioral interventions.
Kidd et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery (n=149). Perceived health-related personal control vs. Lower perceived control was evaluated on Depression symptoms at 3-month follow up (B = -0.376, 95% CI -0.709 to -0.044, p=0.027). Higher levels of perceived health-related personal control independently predicted lower depression symptoms (B = -0.376) and better quality of life 3 months after CABG surgery.
