Assesment of differences in psychological and behavior parameters between acute coronary and healthy controls and influence on 6 months re- hospitalization rate.
Comparation between K group = 33 of first myocardial infarction patients and E group = 30 healthy persons at baseline and after 6 months. Instruments applied:
Semistructured psychiatric interview, M.I.N.I., Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) for anxiety level, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) for depression level, KON-6 sigma Aggression Scale and Holms-Rahe (H-R) Stress Life Events Scale and Questioner for risk health behavior. Parameters differences were assessed by t-test chi square test, for p< 0,05. Regression analysis for 6 months re-hospitalization.
Anxiety-depressive and Anxiety syndromes were present at 23% of K group and 10% of E group. Anxiety level of K group was higher than E: (BAI = 8,15 ± 4,37:4,83 ± 2,60; t = −3,62), for p < 0.01, depression level was also higher (BDI = 8,67 ± 3,94: 4.63 ± 2.04; t = −5,02). Lack of physical exercise, was more present at K group. After 6 months there were 11 rehospitalization in K group. Family history of coronary disease and alcohol consumption had significant influence on 6 months re-hospitaization of infarct patients.
