K O Ell, and M de Guzman, and L J Haywood

Early identification of cardiac patients at risk for problems in recovery can be of help to social workers who work in crowded inpatient services. The study described here found preonset stress, measured by a stressful life events questionnaire, to be associated with the level of recovery from a heart attack. The questionnaire may be a valuable tool for social workers working with cardiac patients.
