Background The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the mediating role of coping strategies in relation to the self-efficacy for managing disease and mental toughness with the quality of life of cardiovascular patients. Method This was a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study that was conducted in a specialized cardiology hospital in the west of Iran in 2022. The method of the present research is correlation structure analyses. Atotal of 313 eligible patients with coronary artery disease were included in the study. Coping strategies, self-efficacy for managing disease, mental toughness and quality of life questionnaires were used. After targeting 10 distorted questionnaires, 303 data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 and PLS_3 software. Results The results showed that self-efficacy and mental toughness are directly and indirectly related to the quality of life through the mediation of problem-oriented coping style, but SEM did not confirm this relationship through emotion-oriented coping style, and this relationship is not established. It was also found that heart patients with better self-efficacy for managing disease used more problem-oriented coping style, and their quality of life was reported to be higher. Conclusion The findings emphasize the importance of developing internal work models based on the type of coping strategies and the lifelong effects of these models on the quality of life of heart patients.

“…In conclusion, in therapy with cardiac patients, the function of stress factors including pain and anxiety on the quality of life should be considered. Some researchers recommend that a psychologist train cardiac patients in coping strategies, together with non-invasive and invasive medical treatments as well as physical exercise in order to improve physical and cognitive recovery [ 43 , 44 ].…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether regular physical activity can alter the pressure pain threshold, pain tolerance, and subjective pain perception in individuals who have experienced a cardiovascular event. The study involved 85 individuals aged 37 to 84 years (M = 65.36) who qualified for outpatient cardiac rehabilitation, which consisted of 24 physical training sessions. The patients were all tested twice: on the first and last day of the outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program. Assessments of the pressure pain threshold and pain tolerance were performed with an algometer. To assess the pain coping strategies, the Pain Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CSQ) and parenting styles were measured retrospectively with subjective survey questions. The main results of the study showed that patients achieved significantly higher pressure pain thresholds after a physical training cycle (ps < 0.05, η2 = 0.05–0.14), but found no differences in the pain tolerance (ps > 0.05). A lower preference for the better pain coping strategy explanation (ß = −0.42, p = 0.013) and growing up in a family with a less neglectful atmosphere (ß = −0.35, p = 0.008) were associated with increased pressure pain threshold after physical training. The results suggest that physical activity is an important factor in modulating the pressure pain threshold.

Stress coping strategiesBackground: Cancer is one of the most important diseases of the present century worldwide.Patients and their spouses can find more difficulty accepting the diagnosis of cancer than its phases of treatment. Both the physical health and mental health of the patient and spouse are important in the process of recovery from cancer and its treatment. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between coping strategies for stress and self-efficacy in patients with cancer and that of their spouses. Methods: In this descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study, 91 patients and their 91 spouses completed the Endler and Parker Coping Inventory, the Sherer General Self-Efficacy Scale, and a demographic information questionnaire. Results: The problem-oriented coping style was used more than the other strategies by patients with cancer and their spouses. The least used coping style by patients and their spouses was the avoidance style. The self-efficacy of patients and their spouses was above average. Self-efficacy was directly and moderately correlated with problem-oriented coping style (P < .001) and inversely and moderately correlated with emotion-oriented coping style (P < .001). Conclusions: Adoption of strategies like training and consulting may enhance the problem-focused coping style and reduce emotion-focused coping style and therefore lead to increased self-efficacy in patients and their spouses.Implications for Practice: Healthcare providers', especially nurses', knowledge and sensitivity about the coping strategies of patients with cancer and their spouses may help providers select more effective interventions for improving patients' and their spouses' effective coping styles and self-efficacy.
