THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SELF EFFICACY AND STRESS MANAGEMENT SCORES BEFORE AND AFTER THE INTERVENTION OF A CARDIAC REHABILITATION PROGRAM. 3

Background: Providing sexual counseling in cardiac rehabilitation program can improve patients’ sexual satisfaction and performance after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery. Objective This study aims to determine the effect of cardiac rehabilitation on sexual satisfaction of patients after CABG surgery. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on 108 patients with CABG surgery referred to cardiac rehabilitation centers in Rasht and Tehran, Iran in 2017-2018. A demographic form and Larsson’s sexual satisfaction questionnaire were used for data collection before and after 10 sessions of cardiac rehabilitation program. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS v. 18 software using paired t-test, Wilcoxon test, and ANCOVA considering a significance level at P<0.05. Results: The mean age of participants was 58.60±6.37 years. Their sexual satisfaction score significantly increased after the intervention and there was a statistically significant difference in sexual satisfaction before and after the intervention (P<0.001). The pre-test and post-test sexual satisfaction scores had no significant relationship with age, gender, years of marriage, duration of heart disease, comorbidities, occupational status, educational level, and economic status (P>0.05). Conclusion: It is necessary to pay attention to the sexual satisfaction of patients after CABG surgery to improve their sexual function and quality of life by creating an opportunity for them to participate in postoperative cardiac rehabilitation programs.

Background: Heart surgery is vital for patients with coronary artery diseases that do not respond to drug treatments. We aimed to determine the effects of the implementation of the first phase of a cardiac rehabilitation program on self-efficacy in patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Methods: This clinical trial study was conducted on 60 post-CABG patients by convenience sampling method in 2016. Those selected were randomly assigned to intervention (n=30) and control group (n=30). Overall, 72 hours after CABG, the first phase of the cardiac rehabilitation program both in theory and in practice (face-to-face and group methods) was conducted. Data were collected using a self-efficacy questionnaire completed by the patients in 3 stages: before the intervention, at discharge, and at 1 month after discharge. Data was analyzed by using analysis of covariance and repeated measures. Results: The mean of age in the intervention and control groups was 61.60±11.72 and 57.97±13. 4 years, respectively. There were 16 (53.3%) male patients in each group. The mean score of self-efficacy was not significantly different between the 2 groups before the intervention (P=0.076), whereas it had a meaningful statistical difference between the 2 groups at discharge and 1 month afterward (P<0.001). Conclusion: The implementation of the first phase of the cardiac rehabilitation program not only augmented self-efficacy in regard to independent daily activities but also lessened the need for the second phase of the program among our post-CABG patients.

Behaviour Changes

Cardiac rehabilitation programs throughout the world have struggled for several years to attract more participants and facilitate behaviour changes in these clients. Over the past few years, there has been an increased level of attention in the role that self-efficacy and social support may play in this respect. The main aim of this study was to explore self-efficacy and social support within a regional, community-based cardiac rehabilitation program that does not adhere to traditional cardiac rehabilitation structures. Twelve participants were interviewed and two major themes emerged from the thematic analysis of the interview transcripts: making personal lifestyle changes; and supportive environment for lifestyle changes. Although this study is exploratory in nature, it has highlighted the significance of social support from within a program as opposed to participants’ friends and family, the subject of most social-support research. It also contributes to the challenges others are starting to make regarding the limited timeframes associated with traditional cardiac rehabilitation programs, suggesting more time may be needed to build firmer psychosocial foundations for behaviour change after cardiac events.

Positive And Negative Emotions

Cardiac rehabilitation is the sum of psychological, physical and social treatments that are offered to cardiac patients to maintain or regain an active position in society. This study wants to evaluate changes in the perception of the illness and in the self-efficacy of the management of positive and negative emotions in patients who went through cardiac rehabilitation. Sixty-seven patients (20 females, 47 males) were selected within the cardiac rehabilitation unit in the Hospital of Cittadella (Italy). Illness Perception Questionnaire - revised version and the Scale for the self-efficacy of the management of positive and negative emotions were submitted at the beginning and at the end of the rehabilitation program. One-way analyses-of-variance were performed to evaluate different answers in questionnaires between pre- and post-evaluation, and to explore gender differences. A significant change was found in the perception of duration of illness, perceived as permanent and longer after the cardiac rehabilitation program. Furthermore, at the end of the cardiac rehabilitation program men perceived the illness more chronic than women, even if they are less worried and anxious. Intensive cardiac rehabilitation has a great emotional impact on cardiac patients, influencing their perception and management of the illness. Working on emotions, through psychological groups, helps patients change their beliefs by offering them a different perspective to approach the illness.
