Abstract:
Objective To investigate the uncertainty in illness and coping styles among young patients with acute myocardial infarction ( AMI) and analyze their correlation. Methods We used Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale ( MUIS) and the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire ( MCMQ) to assessed 134 young AMI patients cross section study, and analyzed the correlation among the results. Results Total score regarding young AMI patients′uncertainty in illness was (125. 45 ± 24. 49); the average facing score and the avoidance score and the yield score regarding MCMQ were (20. 08 ± 4. 82), (15. 18 ± 2. 83) and (7. 14 ± 2. 69) respectively. Analysis indicated that both the facing and the avoidance score were negatively correlated with the total score of MUIS ( r=-0. 351,-0. 267;P<0. 05);the yield score were positively correlated with the total score of MUIS (r=0. 344, P<0. 01). Conclusions The uncertainty of illness is at high level among young AMI patients, coping it in a positive way is helpful with decreasing patients′uncertainty in illness.
