Angina Self-Management Plan and Quality of Life, Anxiety and Depression in Post Coronary Angioplasty Patients

Abstract

Background: Patients suffering from coronary artery diseases have some depression and anxiety, as these are the frequent causes of  mortality. The self-management programmes showed noteworthy effects on the chronic illnesses.

Aim: The current study was carried out  to evaluate the impacts of the angina plan on depression, anxiety, and QoL in individuals after angioplasty.

Methods: This study was  done in various specific hospitals and divided the patients into groups such as experimental and control. Height, weight, and blood  pressure were also measured. The history of vascular coronary involvement, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, and smoking  were also obtained. Then a twelve-week intervention plan for angina was also performed.

Results: The results regarding depression and  anxiety were also analysed by t-test independently using SPSS. The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant,  indicating that the angina self-management plan was effective in reducing anxiety and improving QoL ‘s perception.

Conclusion:  According to study findings and the favourable features of the angina approach to decreasing anxiety as an essential component in the  prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD), it is envisaged that the use of these programmes will play a key role in monitoring the CAD  process and preventing coronary events.
