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. |
