The aim of this study was to verify the evolution of the psychological characteristics of a group of patients with recent myocardial infarction, during a supervised physical training procedure. The study group consisted of 70 males, aged from 35 to 65 (mean 50 +/- 9). Every patient underwent a psychometric test battery before and after his rehabilitation program. The following tests were used: - Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory - 16 Personality Factors Inventory - IPAT Anxiety Scale - Eysenck Personality Inventory. No patient had psychotherapic nor pharmacological treatment. Comparing the test results before and after training, a significant reduction of deviances from normal patterns was found. A clear trend towards normal values of both high and low scores was found after rehabilitation. Our data are in agreement with the concept that a supervised physical training program is able to promote psychological benefits in patients with recent myocardial infarction. These benefits can be summarized both in stronger emotional stability and in better adaptative capability. This makes their return to normal life easier.
本研究的目的是验证一组近期心肌梗死患者在有监督的体育训练过程中心理特征的演变。研究组由70名男性组成，年龄在35至65岁之间（平均50±9岁）。每位患者在康复计划前后都接受了一系列心理测试。使用了以下测试：- 明尼苏达多相人格调查表 - 16种人格因素问卷 - IPAT焦虑量表 - 艾森克人格问卷。没有患者接受心理治疗或药物治疗。比较训练前后的测试结果，发现与正常模式的偏差显著减少。康复后发现高分和低分都有明显趋向正常值的趋势。我们的数据与以下观点一致，即有监督的体育训练计划能够促进近期心肌梗死患者的心理益处。这些益处可以概括为更强的情绪稳定性和更好的适应能力。这使他们更容易回归正常生活。
