Aim
Care dependence has been scarcely investigated in coronary heart disease patients after percutaneous coronary intervention. This study aimed to investigate the association between frailty, self‐efficacy, combined effects of frailty and self‐efficacy, mental health, and care dependence in coronary heart disease patients after percutaneous coronary intervention.
Design
Cross‐sectional study.
Methods
Data from 400 patients after percutaneous coronary intervention were collected from 2017–2020. Logistic regression model and mediating analysis were used to identify the association between frailty, self‐efficacy, combined effects of frailty and self‐efficacy, and care dependence.
Results
Patients with frailty and self‐efficacy tended to have severe care dependence symptoms. There was no correlation between frailty symptoms, self‐efficacy, and care dependence in patients without symptoms of anxiety or depression. But in patients with anxiety or depression symptoms, there is a strong correlation between frailty symptoms, lower self‐efficacy, and care dependence. Mental health played an inhibitory effect on frailty and care dependence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
