Abstract:
Objective To explore the correlation between anxiety and depression, treatment compliance and social support level in elderly patients with coronary heart disease. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 325 patients with coronary heart disease who were treated in this hospital from June 2023 to June 2025 Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the correlations between the level of social support [Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS)] and treatment compliance [12-item Medication Compliance Scale (MAS)], anxiety [Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA)], and depression [Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD)]. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the factors related to treatment compliance of coronary heart disease. Results SSRS score was positively associated with MAS score, and negatively correlated with HAMA score and HAMD score in patients with coronary heart disease (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis suggested that age, education level, living alone, cardiac function grading, mini-mental state examination scale score, SSRS score, HAMA score and HAMD score were independently correlated with treatment compliance in patients with coronary heart disease (P<0.05). Conclusion The level of social support in patients with coronary heart disease is positively correlated with treatment compliance, and negatively correlated with anxiety and depression, and social support level, anxiety and depression are independent related factors affecting treatment compliance.
