Key result
Anxiety is linked to ~21% higher odds of kinesiophobia in post-PCI patients.
Why the study?
Kinesiophobia is an under-recognized barrier to cardiac rehabilitation after PCI, and its prevalence and associated factors in Chinese populations remain poorly understood.
Population
970 post-PCI patients from eight tertiary hospitals
Design
Multicenter cross-sectional study

Supports screening post-PCI patients for kinesiophobia; leaves open whether addressing associated factors improves rehabilitation adherence.
Cross-Sectional (n=970)
Yes
Kinesiophobia is highly prevalent (80.41%) among patients immediately following PCI, highlighting the need for routine screening and targeted psychosocial interventions to improve cardiac rehabilitation adherence.
Wang et al. (2026) conducted a cross-sectional in Post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (n=970). Sociodemographic, clinical, and psychological factors vs. Reference categories (e.g., married, freelancers, low physical activity) was evaluated on Prevalence of kinesiophobia. Sociodemographic and psychological factors, including anxiety (OR 1.21) and stress (OR 1.09), were significantly associated with a high prevalence (80.41%) of kinesiophobia in post-PCI patients.
