- Abstract: Introduction: The current study was performed to examine the prevalence rate of perceived psychological stress in patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction in an Iraqi sample population. In addition, the predictors of stress in this group of patients were determined through the statistical analysis. Methods: In the current cross-sectional study, a total of 50 patients were diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (MI) and admitted to the coronary care unit were recruited purposively. The diagnosis of MI was established according to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. The stress level of patients was measured by Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), a structured scale anchored on a 5-point Likert scale; low stress (PSS: 0-14), moderate stress (PSS: 15-26), and high stress (PSS: 27-40). Results: The mean age of 50 patients who were recruited in the present study was 60.52 years (SD: 12.16, Range: 29-86). The majority of the patients were recognized to have a moderate or severe level of stress (76%). The patients with lack or a lower level of education and live in rural areas had significantly a higher level of stress. The statistical calculations did not show any predictor for the stress in patients with myocardial infarction. Conclusions: The level of stress in the study sample was very high requiring a special stress management strategies for these types of patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
- Abstract: Introducción: El presente estudio se realizó para examinar la tasa de prevalencia del estrés psicológico percibido en pacientes diagnosticados de infarto agudo de miocardio en una muestra de población iraquí. Además, se determinaron los predictores del estrés en este grupo de pacientes mediante el análisis estadístico. Métodos: En el presente estudio transversal, se reclutó de forma intencionada a un total de 50 pacientes diagnosticados de infarto agudo de miocardio (IM) e ingresados en la unidad de cuidados coronarios. El diagnóstico de IM se estableció según los criterios de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). El nivel de estrés de los pacientes se midió mediante la Escala de Estrés Percibido (PSS), una escala estructurada anclada en una escala Likert de 5 puntos; estrés bajo (PSS: 0-14), estrés moderado (PSS: 15-26) y estrés alto (PSS: 27-40). Resultados: La edad media de los 50 pacientes reclutados en el presente estudio fue de 60,52 años (DE: 12,16, Rango: 29-86). A la mayoría de los pacientes se les reconoció un nivel de estrés moderado o severo (76%). Los pacientes que carecían de estudios o tenían un nivel educativo inferior y vivían en zonas rurales presentaban un nivel de estrés significativamente superior. Los cálculos estadísticos no mostraron ningún factor predictivo del estrés en los pacientes con infarto de miocardio. Conclusiones: El nivel de estrés en la muestra de estudio fue muy elevado requiriendo unas estrategias de manejo del estrés especiales para este tipo de pacientes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
