Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between the interpersonal trust and coping modes in aged patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).MethodsA total of 246 aged patients with CHD at home and in hospital were tested on their interpersonal trust and reply modes by adopting the Interpersonal Trust Scale (ITS) and Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ).ResultsThe interpersonal trust level of patients with higher educational background was significantly higher than those with poor educational background ( P<0.05). The patient's interpersonal trust was significantly positive correlation to the confrontation coping mode ( r=0.388, P=0.000) and significantly negative correlation to the compromising coping mode ( r=-0.434, P=0.000), but was not significantly correlation to avoidance coping mode ( P>0.05).ConclusionThe interpersonal trust of aged patients with CHD can influence their choice of coping modes.
