STUDY TO ASSES STRESS AMONG CARDIAC SURGICAL PATIENTS
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical Applications - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Stress brings stimulation to sympathetic nervous system, this in turn stimulates releasing of carticotrophic hormone, cortisol, adrenaline and noradrenaline. These hormones bring about vasoconstriction and releasing excess of glucose to meet the forth coming fight. On observation of stress resilience i.e. confidence, social support and capacity to recover from negative events including social and spiritual potentials, have increased from preoperative period to follow up period. This shows that there is increase in the confidence among cardiac surgical patients recovering from cardiac disease after cardiac surgery. Various dimensions of stress and quality of life show that there are observable significant improvement changes found from preoperative cardiac patients to follow up cardiac patients. Statistically there is significant correlation between personality and denial/blame in coping strategies, and again there is significant relationship between personality and environment domain in quality of life among cardiac surgical patients. It was also found significant association between stress and anxiety during preoperative period among cardiac surgical patients. Mean while it was also found significant association between stress and coping strategies during follow up period among cardiac surgical patients.
