Nurses caring for the patient with CAD are most effective when they recognize that many factors affect psychosocial adjustment to heart disease, with age and gender as two prominent influences. Likewise, spouses of patients with CAD require special attention and assessment so that their caregiving and recovery from a cardiac-related event is successful. Caregiving spouses have been found to have more mood disturbance, less satisfaction with marriage and family, and lower levels of social support than patients, suggesting that attention to their concerns is paramount.
照顾冠心病患者的护士若能认识到许多因素会影响对心脏病的心理社会调适，其中年龄和性别是两个突出影响因素，那么他们的工作将最有成效。同样，冠心病患者的配偶也需要特别关注和评估，以便他们在照顾患者及从心脏相关事件中恢复的过程能够顺利。研究发现，与患者相比，照顾患者的配偶更容易出现情绪困扰，对婚姻和家庭的满意度更低，社会支持水平也更低，这表明关注他们的问题至关重要。
