Patient perceptions of quality of life after coronary artery surgery: Was it worth it?

Abstract: Quality of life and perceptions of the consequences of surgery were examined in 155 individuals having coronary bypass surgery. One year after surgery, subjects believing surgery was worth it because of functional improvement (n = 64) had more positive scores on subjective indicators of life satisfaction and mood than those believing surgery was worth it because it saved them from death (n = 62) or those who were not sure surgery was worth it (n = 23). Differences in perceptions of quality of life between the … Show more

Quality of life has been described by LaMendola and Pelligrini (1979) as a complex concept used by patients to subjectively assess the desirability of a particular way of life.…”

“…A cirurgia poderá trazer repercussões físicas, psicológicas, sociais e emocionais e, também, na percepção de bem-estar das pessoas (sujeitos e familiares), levando à necessidade de adaptações e ao enfrentamento de situações tais como a mudança no estilo de vida, no papel social dentro do núcleo familiar e a dificuldade para retornar ao trabalho, relacionadas à percepção da limitação física para atividades que exijam esforço (KING et al, 1992;MAYOU;BRYANT, 1993;ROEBUCK;FURZE;THOMPSON, 2001;SPERTUS et al, 1994;TREASURE, 1999;WILSON-BARNETT, 1981).…”

“…A revascularização do miocárdio, procedimento cirúrgico mais realizado em decorrência da DAC, tem sido realizada dentro de condições ideais, buscando garantir o alívio dos sintomas decorrentes da insuficiência coronariana, a melhoria do funcionamento cardíaco, a prevenção do infarto do miocárdio e a recuperação do paciente do ponto de vista físico, psíquico e social, com o objetivo de melhorar sua qualidade de vida (BARNASON et al, 2000;MOTZER;CIOL, 2002;KING et al, 1992;SOCIEDADE BRASILEIRA DE CARDIOLOGIA, 2004;NAUGHTON;FURBERG, 1996). (BARNASON et al, 2000;BLILEY;FERRANS, 1993;MOTZER;CIOL, 2002;FRENN et al, 1989;GULDVOG, 1999;JAIRATH, 1999;KING et al, 1992;LUKKARINEN, 1998;LUKKARINEN, H.;HENTINEN, 1997;MARCUCCIO et al, 2003;MURRAY;MAKTELOW;CLIFFORD, 2000;PAPADANTONAKI;STOTTS;PAUL, 1994;ROEBUCK;FURZE;THOMPSON, 2001;ROSS;OSTROW, 2001;SPERTUS et al, 1994;GÓIS, 2005;WENGER et al, 1984). Esses estudos são considerados relevantes, pois, além de avaliarem os resultados terapêuticos, geram novas hipóteses e reflexões que possibilitam a ampliação do enfoque dos estudos sobre qualidade de vida, buscando alternativas metodológicas que se preocupem em discutir os aspectos teóricos e conceituais envolvidos na avaliação desse fenômeno.…”
