Article Synopsis
- The mental well-being of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) during their ICU transition is critical, as they may face significant psychological challenges like anxiety and depression that can hinder recovery.
- A survey of 119 patients post-cardiac surgery assessed anxiety, depression, fear of disease progression, and social support, revealing that disease progression and social support levels influence these psychological factors.
- Results indicated a positive relationship between anxiety and depression levels with fear of disease progression, while higher social support was linked to lower levels of these mental health issues in CHD patients.
