Abstract
Purpose of review: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a growing global epidemic. Women with PAD are at elevated risk of experiencing psychosocial stressors that influence the diagnosis, management, and course of their illness due to unique sex- and gender-based factors.
Recent findings: We review existing evidence for increased psychosocial risk in women with PAD with a focus on mood disorders, chronic stress, pain experiences, substance use disorders, health behaviors and illness perceptions, and healthcare access. We discuss how these factors exacerbate PAD symptomatology and lead to adverse outcomes. Existing gaps in women's vascular care are reviewed and potential solutions to bridge these gaps through psychosocial care integration are proposed. Current care paradigms for women's vascular care do not adequately screen for and address psychosocial comorbidities. Clinician education, integration of evidence-based psychological care strategies, implementation of workflows for the management of individuals with PAD and mental health comorbidities, reform to reimbursement structures, and further advocacy are needed in this space. This review provides a construct for integrated behavioral health care for women with PAD and advocates for further integration of care.
审查目的:外周动脉疾病(PAD)是一种日益严重的全球性流行病。由于独特的性和性别因素,患有 PAD 的女性承受社会心理压力的风险较高,这些压力会影响她们的诊断、管理和病程:我们回顾了有关女性 PAD 患者心理社会风险增加的现有证据,重点关注情绪障碍、慢性压力、疼痛体验、药物使用障碍、健康行为和疾病认知以及医疗服务的获取。我们将讨论这些因素是如何加剧 PAD 症状并导致不良后果的。我们回顾了女性血管护理方面的现有差距,并提出了通过整合社会心理护理来弥补这些差距的潜在解决方案。目前的女性血管护理模式不能充分筛查和解决社会心理并发症。在这一领域需要开展临床医生教育、整合循证心理护理策略、实施工作流程以管理患有 PAD 和心理健康合并症的患者、改革报销结构以及进一步宣传。本综述为患有 PAD 的女性提供了综合行为健康护理的构架,并倡导进一步整合护理。
期刊介绍:
The aim of this journal is to provide timely perspectives from experts on current advances in cardiovascular medicine. We also seek to provide reviews that highlight the most important recently published papers selected from the wealth of available cardiovascular literature.
We accomplish this aim by appointing key authorities in major subject areas across the discipline. Section editors select topics to be reviewed by leading experts who emphasize recent developments and highlight important papers published over the past year. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field.
