The results of a prospective study in patients who underwent a first coronary artery bypass graft operation are presented. The goals of this project consisted in assessing the psychological changes during the first year after surgery. For that purpose, 330 consecutive patients were recruited. They were assessed by means of several psychological scales before and on three occasions after surgery. These scales were: the Heart Patients' Psychological Questionnaire (HPPQ), the State–Trait Anxiety Scale (STAI), the Symptom Check List (SCL-90), the Maastricht Questionnaire (MQ) and the Marlowe Crowne Desirability Scale. Furthermore, the study focused on the differential influence of three coping styles. The data demonstrate a clear overall improvement in psychological status over the first year, more specifically during the first 6 months after CABG. Patients were less anxious, less depressed, less exhausted and experienced more subjective well-being. However, almost 30% of all patients did not experience that average favourable evolution. The final psychological end-state was predicted by psychological variables, measured pre-operatively (somatic complaints, hostility and dysphoria) and short-term post-operatively (anxiety). No single medical variable could predict patients' psychological end-state. Finally, the most favourable change was made by patients who display the sensitising coping style, resulting in lower anxiety and depression. Health care providers, physicians as well as nursing staff and psychologists, should therefore use psychodiagnostic tools in order to identify patients at risk for negative psychological outcome. Appropriate therapeutic interventions may consequently be developed and evaluated in future research.
