Popis: Abstract Background Depression significantly impacts recovery and return to daily activities in cardiac surgery patients. Assessing and managing depressive symptoms before and after surgery are crucial for improving surgical outcomes and timely return to daily activities, including work. The objectives of this study were to examine differences in patients’ depression levels in relation to their return to daily activities in the early post-cardiac surgery period, and to assess predictors of delayed return to daily activities. Methods This single-centered study assessed return to independence, social participation, hobbies, and work in 100 cardiac surgical patients at 2 and 6 weeks post-surgery. Associations between depression levels and return to daily activities scores were evaluated. Results Higher Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) scores were significantly associated with delayed return to daily activities in all categories at both 2 and 6 weeks post-surgery. Specifically, higher depression score delayed return to independence and social participation at 2 weeks, and delayed return to independence, social participation, and return to work at 6 weeks. Conclusion Elevated depression scores are significantly associated with delayed return to daily activities post-cardiac surgery, indicating the importance of evaluating depression in cardiac surgical patients in the postend stage-operative period.
