ABSTRACT: Objective: The present study proposes a psychological preparation program
with a cognitive behavioral intervention to reduce levels of anxiety and
depression in addition to modifying the coping style of patients with heart
disease who will undergo a surgical intervention with cardiopulmonary bypass.
Method: A quasi-experimental pre-test-posttest study was carried out with a
control group. 91 patients were evaluated prior to undergoing cardiac cardiopulmonary
bypass surgery, of which 16 were selected for this study, 8 participated in
psychological treatment and 8 patients were selected for the control group.
Instruments: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Questionnaire for
Coping with Injuries and Health Problems. Results: Differences were found in
the anxiety and depression scores of the experimental group, although these
results were not statistically significant. On the other hand, a significant
difference was found as a treatment effect between the groups in favor of the
experimental group in the greater use of the Palliative coping style (p = 0.05) and less predominance of the Emotional style (p = 0.05). Conclusion: It is essential that the psychologist specialized
in behavioral cardiology develops and carries out interventions so that the patient develops cognitive, emotional and coping strategies for the management of anxiety and
depression.
