Objective: In this study, we assessed psychosocial adjustment in patients with cardiovascular diseases and its relationship with spiritual well-being.Methods: This descriptive analytic study was performed in 2018 in Qazvin, Iran. The subjects were 150 patients who were admitted to the cardiac ward of a teaching hospital. Data were collected using a background variables checklist developed by the researchers and two standard questionnaires of Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale and Ellison-Paloutzian Spiritual Well-Being Scale. Results:The final score of psychosocial adjustment to cardiovascular diseases was 62.78±6.8 (range 48-83), indicating a moderate level of psychosocial adjustment to cardiovascular diseases. The mean score of psychosocial adjustment to cardiovascular diseases was significantly higher in women than in men (p=0.03). In this study, the mean of overall spiritual well-being was 74.93 indicating a moderate level of spiritual well-being. The mean of overall spiritual well-being was significantly higher in women than in men (p=0.001). The results showed a significant negative relationship between the participants' psychosocial adjustment to cardiovascular diseases and spiritual well-being (rr=-0.21, p=0.01). Conclusion:Findings from this study revealed that patients with cardiovascular diseases have a poor level of psychosocial adjustment. Patients with higher level of spiritual well-being reported better psychosocial adjustment.

“…On the other hand, a study conducted in South Korea indicated that patients had good psychological adjustment [9]. Senmar M (2020) believed that psychological adjustment differs among patients with different demographic characteristics, cultural and social support [10]. Patients in different countries and ethnic groups also had different concepts of psychological adjustment [3].…”

“…Ayik C indicated that age was one of the most significant factors affecting the meaning and hope components [13]. Senmar M found that education level and economic status were related to psychological adjustment, in which increasing patient education level and better economic status led to a lower score of psychosocial adjustment [10]. According to some studies, social relationships and support from a partner or family member are important to patients with ostomies [11].…”

Background: Ostomy has become a common therapy for treating gastrointestinal diseases such as colorectal cancer. Patients with ostomy experience many problems including appearance change, uncontrolled discharge and odour, sexual dysfunction, decreased social functioning, and difficulties taking care of themselves. Because of these problems, many patients with ostomies feel anxious, unconfident and afraid to participate in social activities. However, previous studies investigating psychological adjustment in patients with ostomies are scarce. Objectives: This study aimed to survey the level of psychological adjustment and to determine factors associated with the level of psychological adjustment in patients with ostomies. Materials and Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 77 patients with ostomies at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. The Ostomy Adjustment Inventory-23 (OAI-23) scale was used to interview patients. Results: 61% of patients were male; the mean age of patients was 59.2 ± 14.3 years old, the majority of the Kinh ethnic group (96.1%); 50.6% of participants had a secondary or high school level and 43% of patients had a permanent ostomy. The psychological adjustment score was 40.4 ± 9.8 with 52% of patients assigned to a moderate level of psychological adjustment and 48% assigned to a low level of psychological adjustment. There was a relationship between psychological adjustment and gender (p=0.0001), duration of ostomy (p=0.003) and complication (p<0.001). Patients who received all support related to ostomy care had a higher level of psychological adjustment (p=0.0004). There were no significant differences in psychological adjustment scores among patients with different age groups, residences, ethnicities, marital statuses, education levels, economic statuses, type of surgery, and comorbidities. Conclusions: Patients with ostomy had a moderate level of psychological adjustment. The results indicated a need for supporting programs for patients with ostomies so that they can have better mental health. This can help patients to have optimal treatment and quality of life.
