Abstract:
Ninety elderly patients with coronary heart disease were randomly divided into 2 groups:in study group (n = 45) the cognitive-behavioral intervention as well as conventional medical treatment were performed and in control group ( n = 45 ) only conventional treatment was given. Short Form-36 ( SF-36),symptom checklist 90(SCL-90), Hamilton anxiety scale( HAMA), Hamilton depression scale( HAMD)were evaluated before and after intervention, the serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG)and body mass index (BMI)were measured, the smoking and drinking behaviors were recorded. After 6-month of intervention the smoking [(0. 6 ± 0. 2)cigarettes/d] and drinking [(10. 1 ± 2. 3)g/d] behaviors, the scores of SF-36 (85 ± 16), SCL-90 (104 ±4), HAMA (10 ±4) and HAMD (12 ±3), the systolic blood pressure [( 123 ± 11 ) mm Hg ( 1 mm Hg = 0. 133 kPa)], diastolic blood pressure [(77 ± 5 ) mm Hg], the fasting blood glucose [(4. 2 ± 2. 6 ) mmol/L] and BMI ( 22.5 ± 0. 5 ) in study group were significantly improved compared to control group ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). The results indicate that cognitive-behavioral intervention can improve the mental state and quality of life in elderly patients with coronary heart disease.
