To evaluate the relationship of ejection fraction (EF) and depressive symptoms in cardiac surgery patients assigned to nurse-guided cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or usual care (UC) Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Seventy-seven patients (31% female, age 63.6±9.8 years) received 8 weeks of either CBT or UC. Using repeated measures ANOVA, changes in depressive symptoms over time were evaluated. There was a significant interaction among time, treatment group and EF status (p = .019). In patients with preserved EF (≥ 40%), mean BDI scores in the UC group worsened by 1.9%, while those in the CBT group improved by 31.0%. In patients with low EF (< 40%), mean BDI scores worsened by 26.8% and improved by 75.3% in the UC and CBT groups, respectively. Nurse-guided CBT is effective in reducing depressive symptoms after cardiac surgery, particularly in patients with low EF.
