Purpose:
This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy on perceived stress of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Design And Methods:
This was a randomized clinical trial in which the patients under coronary intervention were allocated to two groups, intervention and control by using block randomization. The experiment group received eight sessions of cognitive-behavioral therapy. The patients' perceived stress was measured before, immediately, and 1-month post ntervention.
Findings:
The results showed the perceived stress scores changed significantly in the intervention group compared with the control group immediately and 1 month after the intervention. Therefore, the perceived stress level significantly reduced in the patients of the intervention group (p < 0.001).
Practice Implications:
Cognitive-behavioral therapy significantly reduced perceived stress in patients undergoing PCI.
