Insights

This study examined mental health literacy in coronary heart disease patients. Findings reveal key demographic and clinical factors influence literacy, highlighting the need for targeted health education to improve patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Psychiatry
  • Health Education

Background:

  • Coronary heart disease (CHD) presents significant challenges to patient well-being.
  • Mental health literacy (MHL) is crucial for managing chronic conditions like CHD.
  • Understanding factors influencing MHL in CHD patients is essential for effective interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the current level of mental health literacy among CHD patients.
  • To identify demographic, clinical, and psychosocial factors associated with MHL in this population.
  • To explore the relationship between MHL and self-management, social support, and self-efficacy in CHD patients.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey involving 435 CHD patients.
  • Utilized validated questionnaires including the Mental Health Literacy Scale and scales for self-management, social support, and self-efficacy.
  • Employed descriptive statistics, t-tests/ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression for data analysis.

Main Results:

  • The average MHL score for CHD patients was 96.42 ± 8.40.
  • Significant influencing factors included gender, age, education, income, diagnosis details, cardiac function, self-management, social support, and self-efficacy (all p < 0.05).
  • MHL was positively correlated with self-management ability and self-efficacy.

Conclusions:

  • Mental health literacy is influenced by a range of patient characteristics and clinical factors in CHD.
  • Improving MHL can enhance self-management capabilities and self-efficacy in patients with coronary heart disease.
  • Healthcare providers should prioritize MHL education to improve patient prognosis and overall health outcomes.
