The purpose of the present research was to compare type D personality and Physiologic variables in coronary heart diseases with and without surgery, and healthy persons. The research sample consisted of 84 patients with CHD (with and without surgery) who were admitted in Moddaress hospital and 44 healthy persons. To collect the data, Type D Personality Scale (DS14), and Demographic Check List were utilized. The frequency and prevalence of type D personality in coronary heart disease is 38/1% and in healthy group is 25%. The results showed that type D personality was more prevalent in coronary heart disease patients than in healthy persons. Also, significant difference was obtained in systolic blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) between coronary heart disease with and without surgery, and healthy group. But there is not a significant difference among 3 groups in diastolic pressure and blood group. Considering the high frequency of type D personality in coronary heart diseases, recognizing this construct and physiologic variables and controlling them can be useful, and focusing on these factors can cause better and more stable results. |
