관상동맥 질환자의 심질환 재발유무에 따른 적대감, 생활습관 및 혈청 지질 비교

Abstract

Purpose: This study was to identify the difference of hostility, life style, and serum lipids according to recurrent cardiac events in CAD patients. Method: The subjects were 84 patients(recurrence=16, no recurrence=68) from 30s to 80s who admitted in A hospital. Data were collected by questionnaire surveys using a convenience sampling. Hostility was measured “cynical hostility” developed by Costa et al(1986). The measure of life style were included smoking, alcohol drinking, exercise, and caffeine intake. Measurements of physiologic factors were included levels of serum lipids, BP, and BMI. Results: Mean scores for hostility of the recurrent patients(Mean: 67.25, SD: 8.44) were higher than no recurrent group(Mean: 59.12 SD: 8.16). The difference of hostility according to recurrent cardiac events was significant(p<.05). The difference of total cholesterol according to recurrent cardiac events was significant(p<.05). Furthermore, controlling for cardiac recurrence, the diffenence of total cholesterol according to hostility was significant in recurred group(p<.05). Conclusion: This study presented baseline data to imply that the hostility and total cholesterol will be associated with the recurrence of CAD. Accordingly, various programs for psychological intervention are required to diminish hostility. Henceforth, further studies should be conducted on a larger patient population.
