Do in-hospital psychological factors and occupational status predict poor recovery in myocardial infarction patients?
High trait anxiety, manual occupation, work dissatisfaction, and lack of confiding relationships during initial hospitalization predict poor psychosocial and symptomatic recovery 7 months post-MI.
Winefield et al. (1982) conducted a cohort in Myocardial infarction (n=28). High trait anxiety, manual occupation, work dissatisfaction, and few confiding relationships was evaluated on Poor recovery (self-reported health, symptoms, sexual activity, and psychosocial changes). High trait anxiety, manual occupation, work dissatisfaction, and few confiding relationships during hospitalization predicted poor recovery at 7 months in myocardial infarction patients.
