Post-heart surgery recovery is impacted by depression. This study found female patients and those with longer intensive care unit (ICU) stays reported higher depression scores, needing focused psychological support.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Psychology
  • Medical Rehabilitation

Context:

  • Psychological well-being significantly influences recovery after open-heart surgery.
  • Depression is a major negative factor in the rehabilitation process for cardiac patients.
  • Assessing depression is crucial for effective post-operative care.

Purpose:

  • To investigate factors affecting depression scores in patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation.
  • To identify patient characteristics associated with higher depression levels six weeks post-discharge.
  • To inform targeted psychological interventions for at-risk patient groups.

Summary:

  • A study of 74 open-heart surgery patients utilized the Beck Depression Inventory (BI) six weeks after hospital discharge.
  • Depression scores were significantly higher in female patients (r: 0.85, p = 0.005) and those with longer intensive care unit (ICU) stays (r: 0.76, p = 0.007).

  • Factors like age, anesthesia type, and hospital stay duration did not significantly impact depression scores.

    • Impact:

    • Identifies female patients and those with prolonged ICU stays as requiring specialized perioperative psychological attention.
    • Highlights the need for tailored mental health support in cardiac rehabilitation programs.
    • Provides data to improve patient outcomes and recovery trajectories following open-heart surgery.
