Abstract

<p>Objectives : This study aimed to investigate coping self-efficacy (CSE) in patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation. </p><p>Subjects : The patient group (n=122) comprised hospitalized patients participating in cardiac rehabilitation, and the control group (n=115) comprised community-dwelling elderly people.</p><p>Method : Participants completed a questionnaire on CSE and affective states.</p><p>Results : Factor analysis of the 24 items of the CSE questionnaire revealed the following four major factors : cognition, avoidance, problem solving, and distractive acting. The patient group showed lower levels of cognition than the control group did. Among female participants, patient group exhibited lower levels of problem solving and distractive acting compared to the control group. Cognition, problem solving, and distractive acting were positively associated with good mental health, whereas avoidance and distractive acting in female patients were positively associated with anger-hostility.</p><p>Conclusion : This study revealed that the patient group, especially women, tended to display lower CSE levels than those of the control group. For an effective intervention, the CSE tendencies observed in this study should be considered.</p>
