Purpose This study aims to confirm the influence of type D personality and health literacy on resilience of patients hospitalized for Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs), and provide basic information for improving resilience as a post-discharge strategy to promote self-care among patients with chronic diseases.
Methods A questionnaire-based survey was carried out in this cross-sectional study. The subjects were 142 patients who were being treated at a tertiary general hospital for CVDs such as coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, and heart failure. Data were collected from July to October 2022 using a structured questionnaire, and then analyzed using the SPSS program version 26.0.
Results 75.3% of the study subjects (n=107) had type D personalities, and the average health literacy and resilience scores were 48.96±9.13 points and 68.27±13.02 points, respectively, indicating relatively low grades. Following a hierarchical regression analysis, low monthly income (β=-.62, p<.001), current smokers (β=-.23, p=.010), patients with type D personality (β=-.24, p=.001), and patients with low health literacy (β=.27, p<.001) were identified as significant predictors of resilience (Adjusted R2=.57, F=14.32, p<.001).
Conclusion In order to increase the resilience of patients hospitalized for CVD, it is necessary to identify and take into account smokers with low socioeconomic status, poor health literacy, and type D personality. We advise doing a follow-up study to ascertain if the resilience of patients hospitalized for CVD influences post-discharge self-care and clinical outcomes.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to explore influence of Type D personality of hemodialysis patients on quality of life and to elucidate mediation effects of depression and social supports between Type D personality and quality of life. METHODS The subjects were 126 patients who were receiving hemodialysis treatments at four dialysis clinics in Pusan and Daegu metropolitans. Data were collected from January 22th to February 28th, 2018 and analyzed with descriptive statistics, χ2 test, independent t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient and three-step mediated regression analysis using SPSS/WIN 22.0. Significances of mediation effects were examined using bootstrapping method based on SPSS Process Macro program. RESULTS The prevalence of Type D personality in hemodialysis patients were 42.9%. Type D personality in hemodialysis patients had significant effects on quality of life, showing explanatory power of 12%. Depression showed complete mediating effects and also showed 42% of substantiating probability, and social supports showed partial mediating effects and showed 19% of substantiating probability. CONCLUSION Summing up the result of research until now, in order to improve the quality of life for Type D personality hemodialysis patient, it is necessary to develop strategies not only to relieve depression using early evaluation on depression status, consulting therapy, cognition behavior mediation and so on, but also to enhance social supports like participating in voluntary meetings and building up social network to expand relationship with close people.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of Type D personality among patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). METHODS Seven databases were searched to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis. Two reviewers independently searched, selected, extracted, and assessed the studies. The quality of studies was evaluated using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist. To estimate the effect size, meta-analysis of the studies was performed using the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 3.0 program. RESULTS Of 1,128 publications identified, 31 studies that met the inclusion criteria were used to estimate the effect size of Type D personality. Effect size (Standardized Mean Difference [SMD]) was used in the analyses. Patients with CAD who had Type D personality had higher levels of depression (SMD=0.92; 95% Confidecne Interval (CI)=0.74~1.10) and anxiety (SMD=1.19; 95% CI=0.81~1.57), but lower levels of physical and mental health-related quality of life (SMD=−0.56; 95% CI=−0.75~−0.38; SMD=−0.91; 95% CI=−1.10~−0.73). Publication bias was not detected. CONCLUSION Type D personality was associated with increased depression and anxiety and impaired health-related quality of life in patients with CAD. Personality and psychosocial risk screening in patients with CAD should be conducted in the clinical setting.

PURPOSE The purposes of this study were to investigate the moderating effect of lifestyle and Type-D personality on the relation between metabolic syndrome and severity of coronary artery disease and to provide practical knowledge and directions for nursing intervention. METHODS The participants were 111 adult outpatients with coronary artery disease in the cardiology department of a medical center in Korea. The study tools included diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome, lifestyle evaluation tool for patients with metabolic syndrome, the Korean Type-D scale-14, and measures of severity of coronary artery disease. The data were obtained by electronic medical record reviews and surveys using structured questionnaires and interviews. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, χ2 test, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, multiple linear regression analysis and two-way ANOVA. RESULTS The severity of coronary artery disease was positively correlated with the presence of metabolic syndrome (r=.26, p=.006) and type-D personality (r=.49, p < .001). There was a significant negative correlation (r=−.54, p < .001) between the severity of coronary artery disease and lifestyle. Lifestyle had the moderating effect on the relationship between metabolic syndrome and severity of coronary artery disease (β=−.22, p < .001), but type-D personality had no moderating effect (F=0.13, p=.719) on it. CONCLUSION Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to establish individualized intervention considering the condition of the patients according to the criteria of the metabolic syndrome diagnosis when establishing the lifestyle intervention plan. And also it is necessary to define influencing factors including the personality on lifestyle change.

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the influencing effects of type D personality on symptom experiences and quality of life in percutaneous coronary intervention patients. METHODS A descriptive, cross-sectional study design was used. A total of 158 patients with percutaneous coronary intervention participated in this study, between July 1 and November 1, 2015. Data were analyzed by means, standard deviations, t-test, χ2 test, ANCOVA, and stepwise multiple regression analysis using SPSS 22.0 program. RESULTS About 53.8% of participants were classified as type D personality. The type D personality group reported statistically significantly higher symptom experience, lower cardiac function, and lower cardiovascular-specific quality of life compared to non-type D personality group. On stepwise multiple regression, the most significant factor of quality of life was symptom experiences (adjusted R²=.25, p<.001), followed by type D personality (adjusted R²=.31, p<.001). CONCLUSION Personality trait assessment is recommended for patients with percutaneous coronary intervention to assess symptom experiences and quality of life. In addition, development of nursing intervention might be beneficial to manage symptom experience and quality of life in percutaneous coronary intervention patients with type D personality.

PURPOSE This study aimed to identify the mediating effect of the resilience on the relationship between type D personality and compliance of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) patients. METHODS The subjects were 236 CAD patients who visited the cardiology outpatient clinics of D University Medical Center in B City in Korea. The type D personality, resilience, and compliance of subjects were measured using structured questionnaires from July to August, 2014. The mediating effect was analyzed by a multiple hierarchical regression. RESULTS The subjects with type D personality accounted for 30.9% of all study subjects. The resilience and compliance of type D subjects were significantly lower than those of non type D subjects. There was a significant correlation between resilience and compliance. The direct effect of type D personality on compliance was not significant (β=-.07, p=.243), while the indirect effect of type D personality on compliance via resilience was significant (β=.23, p<.001). CONCLUSION On the basis of above results, it can be concluded that the resilience had completely mediating effect on the relation between type D personality and compliance of CAD patients. Further studies need to be done to develop the intervention enhancing resilience of CAD patients with Type D personality.
