Resiliência psicológica e síndrome coronariana crônica: um estudo transversal

Abstract

Background: Despite the popularization of the term “resilience”, few studies correlate CCS and its risk factors with PR, with variable results. Objectives: to evaluate PR in patients with Chronic Coronary Syndrome (CCS) and without CCS, as well as to relate PR and risk factors associated with CCS by comparing their PR levels with those of patients without CCS. Methods: This is an observational study , cross-sectional, of an analytical nature. The PR was quantitatively evaluated using the CD-RISC-10 scale. Resilience levels were assessed according to the distribution of risk factors and cardiovascular diseases using Pearson's linear correlation and Student's t test for independent samples, when the variables had normal distribution, or using the Mann-Whitney U test, when the assumption of normality was not met. Significance level was set at 5%. Results: the sample included 237 patients, of which 132 were female (55.7%). The average age of the sample was 60.8 ± 10.7 years. The level of resilience, assessed using the CD-RISC, did not differ according to the distribution of most risk factors for CCS, with the exception of age and sedentary lifestyle, which showed a significant positive association with the level of resilience. Conclusion: individuals with CCS showed no significant differences in resilience levels when compared to individuals without SCC. Age showed a significant positive correlation with the level of resilience, in other words, the older the age, the higher the level of resilience. Sedentarism was related to lower PR.
