OBJECTIVE
The goal of this study is to assess the relationship between stress coping mechanisms and the risk of atherosclerosis in patients with Hwa-Byung.
METHODS
The Korean version of the Ways of Coping Checklist (WOCC) was administered to 50 patients with Hwa-Byung (49.1+/-10.1 years, 6 males). Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and serum cholesterol level were assessed in all participants.
RESULTS
After controlling for age, sex, diagnosis of hypertension, Body Mass Index (BMI), and serum cholesterol level, the score of seeking social support in coping strategies was negatively correlated with right and left baPWV (r=-0.356, p=0.016; r=-0.373, p=0.012, respectively). In addition, the score of active coping mechanism was negatively correlated with both sides of baPWV (r=-0.383, p=0.009; r=-0.389, p=0.008, respectively).
CONCLUSION
The seeking social support and active coping mechanism were inversely related to the severity of arterial stiffness in Hwa-Byung patients. Therefore, our result may suggest a possibility that coping strategies in Hwa-Byung patients are associated with the risk of atherosclerosis.
目的
本研究旨在评估应对机制与 Hwa-Byung 患者发生动脉粥样硬化风险之间的关系。
方法
对 50 例 Hwa-Byung 患者（年龄 49.1±10.1 岁，男 6 例）使用应对方式问卷（Korean version of the Ways of Coping Checklist，WOCC）进行评估。所有参与者均检测肱踝脉搏波速度（baPWV）和血清胆固醇水平。
结果
在校正年龄、性别、高血压诊断、体重指数（BMI）和血清胆固醇水平后，应对策略中寻求社会支持的评分与右侧和左侧 baPWV 呈负相关（r=-0.356，p=0.016；r=-0.373，p=0.012）。此外，积极应对机制的评分与双侧 baPWV 均呈负相关（r=-0.383，p=0.009；r=-0.389，p=0.008）。
结论
寻求社会支持和积极应对机制与 Hwa-Byung 患者动脉僵硬的严重程度呈负相关。因此，我们的结果提示 Hwa-Byung 患者的应对策略可能与动脉粥样硬化风险有关。
