ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Psychological resilience is associated with an improved capacity to cope with chronic health challenges such as cardiovascular disease.AIMS:
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the relationship between psychological resilience and symptoms of depression in a non-acute cardiac outpatient population.METHODS:
A total of 419 adult cardiac outpatients (288 men; mean±SD age 66.26±14.04 years) attending cardiovascular clinics completed the Sense of Coherence (SOC13) scale as a measure of psychological resilience and the Cardiac Depression Scale (CDS26) prior to their consultation.RESULTS:
The total SOC13 score (mean±SD 64.02±14.24, range 19-91) was within the moderate range. Older patients (⩾65 years) were significantly more resilient than those aged <65 ( p<0.01). Psychological resilience (SOC13) was negatively correlated with depression (CDS26) ( r=-0.79; p<0.001) and inversely associated with affective, cognitive and somatic symptoms of depression. Psychological resilience, particularly meaningfulness, accounted for more of the variance in affective features of depression than for somatic features.CONCLUSION:
These findings show that low psychological resilience was related to depression in this cohort of cardiac outpatients, particularly affective symptoms such as anhedonia and hopelessness. The SOC13 scale offers a complementary measure of psychological status that could be used to monitor, and possibly predict, patient coping and response to treatment throughout the cardiovascular disease trajectory.Palavras-chave
