Abstract
Background: Young and middle-aged people are considered a vulnerable group to experience acute stress disorder (ASD) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study aims to explore influencing factors to ASD in young and middle-aged groups.Methods: 190 patients of 18–60 years of age with acute myocardial infarction were enrolled in this study. We assessed the association between ASD and demographic data, adult attachment, and social support.Results: A total of 190 young and middle-aged people were investigated in this study. Among them, 65 cases were positive for acute stress disorder, with a positive rate of 34.21%. Multivariate stepwise regression showed that attachment-related anxiety, distribution of criminal vessels, perceived support, complications, and attachment-related avoidance are the main factors affecting acute stress disorder of young and middle-aged patients with AMI.Conclusions: The incidence of acute stress disorder in young and middle-aged patients with AMI is high. We should strengthen social support and pay attention to the psychological state of patients in the process of follow-up cardiac rehabilitation to improve their ability to deal with acute stress events and actively participate in postoperative cardiac rehabilitation.
