Abstract

Background: Individuals diagnosed with Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) form specific perceptions about their condition. These illness perceptions (IP) influence several clinical and mental aspects of patients' health outcomes.

Objective: To describe IP in Jordanian patients with CHD and to examine the role of IP domains in predicting anxiety and depressive symptoms in Jordanian patients with CHD.

Methods: In a cross-sectional study, a convenience sample of 193 patients with CHD, who visited the cardiac clinic for routine follow-up, completed the brief illness perception questionnaire and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.

Results: Participants perceived CHD as a chronic condition with moderate negative consequences and they were highly concerned about their illness. Illness perceptions domains were significantly associated with anxiety and depressive symptoms. Personal control, treatment control, and disease identity were significant predictors of depressive symptoms, while personal control and emotional representation were significant predictors of anxiety symptoms.

Conclusion: Findings indicate that negative illness perceptions are strongly associated with anxiety and depressive symptoms. Study findings suggest that interventions targeting personal control, treatment control, identity, and emotional representation could improve CHD patients' mental well-being.

疾病认知作为冠心病患者焦虑和抑郁症状的预测因素
背景:被诊断为冠心病(CHD)的个体对自己的病情形成特定的认知。这些疾病感知(IP)影响患者健康结果的几个临床和心理方面。目的:描述约旦冠心病患者的IP,并探讨IP域在预测约旦冠心病患者焦虑和抑郁症状中的作用。方法:采用横断面研究方法,选取193例到心内科门诊进行常规随访的冠心病患者,填写简要疾病感知问卷和医院焦虑抑郁量表。结果:参与者认为冠心病是一种具有中度负面影响的慢性疾病,他们高度关注自己的疾病。疾病感知域与焦虑和抑郁症状显著相关。个人控制、治疗控制和疾病认同是抑郁症状的显著预测因子,而个人控制和情绪表征是焦虑症状的显著预测因子。结论:研究结果表明,消极的疾病感知与焦虑和抑郁症状密切相关。研究结果表明,针对个人控制、治疗控制、身份和情绪表征的干预措施可以改善冠心病患者的心理健康。
