[The psychological rehabilitation of patients having had a myocardial infarct at the polyclinic stage]. 1989

A Kokutsov, and L Petev

The psychological rehabilitation of patients with myocardial infarction was studied in 104 persons: a basic group of 70 patients and a control group of 34 patients. The E. Key's test recommended by the WHO was used. The mean age of the patients in the basic group was 51 years and that of the patients in the control group was 53 years. The employees were more numerous than the physical workers. The results of the psychological test in the basic group showed a statistically significant decrease of the state of anxiety and depression at the end of the rehabilitation period. In this group the active rehabilitation programme led to considerable favourable changes in the psychic state--improvement of the mood and diminishing of the anxiety and depression and contributed to the favourable end of the process of psychological adaptation to the changed by the disease conditions of life. The patients in the control group who did not perform the rehabilitation programme showed a tendency toward improvement of the psychic state.
