Impact of social support and religiosity/spirituality on recovery from acute cardiac events and heart surgery in a Swiss study.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of social support and religiosity/spirituality (R/S) on the recovery from an acute cardiac event or cardiac surgery during cardiac rehabilitation (CR). The study has a prospective design. A convenience sample of 159 patients participating in a CR program were enrolled. Religiosity/spirituality, social support, anxiety, depression, health related quality of life (QoL) and exercise capacity (6-min walk test, cycle ergometer test) were assessed. Social support was significantly associated with less anxiety (P < .01), less depression (P < .01), and better QoL (P < .05) on admission. After adjustment for age, gender, education level, and morbidity, social support remained significantly associated with less depression (P < .001). Religiosity/spirituality was significantly associated with less depression (P < .05), better QoL (P < .05), and better exercise capacity (P < .05) at admission. After adjustment for covariates, however, signifi cance was lost. There were no significant associations of social support or R/S with the course of CR measured by change in QoL or exercise capacity. Social support may be a protective factor against depression in the recovery from cardiac events or surgery. Neither social support nor R/S had a significant impact on the course of the 3-week CR program.
