Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the predictors of quality of life (QoL) among patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Specifically, this study investigated how decision-making, personality factors, and resilience are related to the QoL of patients with CVDs. 168 patients with CVDs were selected from the Salem district of Tamil Nadu state in India through purposive sampling. Data were collected through a survey. Correlation analysis revealed that physical health, psychological health, and environmental dimensions of QoL were significantly related to extraversion, openness, and conscientiousness factors of personality. Further, multiple regression analysis revealed that resilience and certain dimensions of decision-making such as control and social resistance significantly predicted the QoL of patients with CVDs. This study provides an understanding of individual factors that predicted the QoL of CVDs patients.
期刊介绍:
Cognition, Brain, Behavior. An Interdisciplinary Journal publishes contributions from all areas of cognitive science, focusing on disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to information processing and behavior analysis. We encourage contributions from the following domains: psychology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, linguistics, ethology, anthropology and philosophy of mind. The journal covers empirical studies and theoretical reviews that expand our understanding of cognitive, neural, and behavioral mechanisms. Both fundamental and applied studies are welcomed. On occasions, special issues will be covering particular themes, under the editorship of invited experts.
