Abstract
"Depression, anxiety and sleep disorders are psychological risk factors that
could impact the quality of life in cardiovascular patients. In this study, a
theoretical model on the complex relationships between coping mechanisms,
depression, anxiety and sleep disorders was studied in a sample of 274
cardiovascular patients. The maladaptive cognitive-emotional coping
strategies that appeared to be correlated with these negative emotional
pathologies were self-blaming, ruminating and catastrophizing, and the
adaptive ones were positive refocusing, refocusing on planning and positive
reassessment. A theoretical model that explains these relationships at a
process level appears to have statistical significance and to have adequate
goodness of fit. In this model, there are statistically significant direct effects
of maladaptive and adaptive coping mechanisms on depression and anxiety,
a significant effect of anxiety on depression, as well as statistically
significant positive effects of depression and anxiety on sleep disorders. The
age has been controlled for in the model and the severity of the illness
appears to have a moderating role in this context, with a stronger effect of
anxiety on depression for patients with more severe illnesses. The practical
implications of these results in psychological counselling addressed to
cardiovascular patients are discussed."
