Key result
Demographic and psychosocial factors, including gender, age, comorbidities, and self-efficacy, accounted for 59.6% of the variance in moderately low social participation scores (mean 52.0) after cardiac surgery (p<0.05).

Social participation among young and middle-aged patients after cardiac surgery is moderately low and is significantly influenced by demographic, physical, and psychological factors.
This study aimed to investigate the level of social participation among young and middle-aged patients after cardiac surgery and its influencing factors by using a cross-sectional design. Participants were recruited from the Department of Cardiac Surgery of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital through convenience sampling, and 237 young and middle-aged patients after cardiac surgery completed the Questionnaire on Participation and Autonomy (IPA). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple stepwise linear regression analysis. A total of 237 participants, with a mean (SD) age was 47.2 (9.2). The total score (SD) of social participation among young and middle-aged patients after cardiac surgery was 52.0 (6.7), indicating a moderately low level of social participation. The results of multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that gender, age, number of comorbidities, social support, self-efficacy, kinesiophobia, and pain were the influencing factors of social participation (p < 0.05), which variables accounted for approximately 59.6% of the variance in the social participation. The social participation among young and middle-aged patients after cardiac surgery needs to be improved. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study has been approved by the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry.

Chen et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Post-cardiac surgery (n=237). Demographic and psychosocial factors (gender, age, comorbidities, social support, self-efficacy, kinesiophobia, pain) was evaluated on Total score of social participation (Questionnaire on Participation and Autonomy) (p=<0.05). Demographic and psychosocial factors, including gender, age, comorbidities, and self-efficacy, accounted for 59.6% of the variance in moderately low social participation scores (mean 52.0) after cardiac surgery (p<0.05).
