Atrial fibrillation is a common supraventrical arrhythmia. The onset of fibrillation is marked by fear of loss of health or life. Symptoms of depression occur concurrently. This study was undertaken to measure anxiety in patients with atrial fibrillation grouped according to gender, age, and education.
The test anxiety inventory of C.D. Spielberger was administered to 52 patients aged 41 to 80 years, treated for atrial fibrillation at the Internal Ward of the District Hospital in Białogard.
Anxiety as a state was observed more frequently in males and in patients with vocational and secondary education. Anxiety was not a trait of atrial fibrillation. Psychotherapeutic interventions used in cardiac rehabilitation are not recommended in atrial fibrillation. However, relaxation techniques could be of benefit in reducing the intensity of anxiety as a state.
心房颤动是一种常见的室上性心律失常。房颤发作的特征是担心失去健康或生命。同时会出现抑郁症状。本研究旨在测量根据性别、年龄和教育程度分组的房颤患者的焦虑情况。
对在比亚沃加德地区医院内科病房接受房颤治疗的52名年龄在41至80岁之间的患者进行了C.D. 斯皮尔伯格的考试焦虑量表测试。
在男性以及接受职业教育和中等教育的患者中,焦虑作为一种状态更为常见。焦虑并非房颤的特征。不建议在房颤治疗中采用心脏康复中使用的心理治疗干预措施。然而,放松技巧可能有助于减轻焦虑状态的强度。
