Kim NJ, Lee MK. Structural equation modeling for associated factors with self-care behavior among young and middle-aged hypertensive patients: a cross-sectional study. Contemp Nurse 2023:1-15. [PMID: 37335772 DOI: 10.1080/10376178.2023.2226252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2021] [Accepted: 06/08/2023] [Indexed: 06/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Self-determination theory (SDT) states that the self-care behaviors of patients with chronic illnesses are affected by an autonomy-supportive healthcare climate, satisfaction of autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Autonomy-supportive healthcare climate means to provide interpersonal conditions that support the person's volition, initiative, and integrity. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the structural relationships of an autonomy-supportive healthcare climate, as well as the perception of illness consequences, autonomy, competence, and relatedness with self-care behaviors among adult outpatients with hypertension. DESIGN A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2020 across three hospitals outpatient clinics in South Korea. METHODS A questionnaire package containing instruments measuring the perception of autonomy-supportive healthcare climate, autonomy, competence, relatedness, perception of illness consequence, self-care behaviors, sociodemographic data, and disease-related characteristics among the patients. The hypothetical model was derived from the SDT. Data were analyzed to test the hypothetical model and propose the final model. RESULTS Complete survey data was provided by 228 participants. Overall, the findings supported the hypothesized model (Goodness-of-Fit Index = 0.90 and Comparative Fit Index = 0.99). An autonomy-supportive healthcare climate and autonomy, competence, and relatedness directly influenced the self-care behaviors of adult hypertensive patients. However, the perception of illness consequences did not have a significant direct effect on self-care behavior. CONCLUSION Improving the autonomy-supportive healthcare climate, as well as positive perception of illness consequences, autonomy, competence, and relatedness among patients positively affects self-care behavior. Thus, an authentic partnership between healthcare providers and hypertensive patients is required to enhance trust, cooperation, and adaptation, consequently improving self-care behaviors among patients. IMPACT STATEMENT Autonomy-supportive healthcare climate was both directly and indirectly associated with self-care behavior that mediates autonomy, competence, and relatedness among young and middle-aged hypertensive patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This qualitative study aimed to investigate: (1) priorities of patients and healthcare professionals during recovery from a burn injury, (2) how priorities change over time and (3) how priorities map to outcomes currently reported in burns research. DESIGN Semi-structured interviews were conducted. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed and analysed thematically. SETTING, PARTICIPANTS A total of 53 patients and healthcare professionals were recruited from four National Health Service (NHS) burn services across England and Wales across England and Wales. Patient participants (n=32) included adults, adolescents and parents of paediatric patients, with a variety of burn injuries in terms of severity and cause of burn injury. Healthcare professionals (n=21) were NHS staff members involved in burn care and included professionals with a range of clinical experience and roles (eg, nurses, surgeons, occupational therapists, physiotherapist, administration). RESULTS Ten themes relating to priorities (outcomes) during recovery from a burn injury were identified for patients and professionals. Of those, six were identified for patients and professionals ('pain and discomfort', 'psychological well-being', 'healing', 'scarring', 'function', 'infection'), three were unique to professionals ('patient knowledge, understanding and support', 'sense of control', 'survival') and one was unique to patients ('uncertainty'). Results highlighted that importance of these priorities changes over time (eg, 'survival' was only a concern in the short term). Likewise, priorities differed between patients and professionals (eg, 'pain' was important to patients throughout their recovery, but not for professionals). Seven out of 10 themes overlapped with outcomes commonly assessed in burn research. CONCLUSION Professionals' and patients' priorities (important outcomes) change over time after burn injury and differ between those groups. Burn care research should consider measuring outcomes at different time points during the recovery from a burn injury to accurately reflect complexity of burn recovery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether illness perception (IP) in overall and each of its three dimensions (cognitive, emotional and comprehension) have an independent prognostic value in men and women with premature coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS In a prospective cohort, 778 patients (370 men and 408 women) with premature CAD(diagnosed in men aged<45 y and women aged<55 y), who had completed brief illness perception questionnaire were followed up for 4 years. Outcome event was defined as composite of all-cause mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction(MI), repeated revascularization or/and stroke. Analysis was performed for men and women separately. High scores for each item of illness perception indicate positive perception. RESULTS Among men, 90 patients (24.3%) experienced events: 14(3.8%) death, 23(6.2%) nonfatal MI, 9(2.4%) strokes, and 44(11.9%) revascularization. Men with and without event showed no difference regarding the traditional risk factors, depression and anxiety symptoms. Among women, 72(17.6%) had events: 11(2.7%) death, 23(5.6%) nonfatal MI, 7(1.7%) strokes and 31(7.6%) revascularization; who had a lower education, more severe CAD, and more depressive symptoms. After adjustments for potential confounders, overall IP and only its cognitive dimension were significantly associated with the outcome in women:1-score increase in the women's cognitive perception resulted in an 18% decrease in the event (HR = 0.82, 95% CI:0.72 to 0.95; P = 0.007). In the men, this effect remained nonsignificant either for IP or its dimensions. CONCLUSIONS Positive cognitive representation of illness was predictive of a decreased likelihood of mortality and/or cardiovascular events in women with premature CAD. Interventional studies are needed to confirm the results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with cardiac disease with or without depression may also have major physical and mental problems. This study assesses and compares the quality of life (QOL) of patients with cardiac disease with and without depression and accompanying comorbidities. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted with a convenience sample of 388 patients with cardiac disease. The 12-item Short-Form (SF-12)-patient was used to measure physical component scale (PCS) and mental component scale (MCS) QOL, and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) was used to measure depression. The Charlson Comorbidity Index was used to estimate 10-year survival probability. Descriptive statistics, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), chi-square tests, and binary logistic regression were used for analysis. RESULTS The prevalence of minimal to mild depression was 65.7% [(95% CI (60.8, 70.4)] and that of moderate to severe depression was 34.3% [95% CI (29.6, 39.2)]. There was no significant association between the level of PHQ-categorised depression and age (p = 0.171), sex (p = 0.079), or ethnicity (p = 0.407). The overall mean PCS and MCS QOL was 32.5 [95% CI (24.4, 40.64)] and 45.4 [95% CI (44.4, 46.4)], respectively, with no significant correlation between PCS and MCS [r (Pearson's) = 0.011; p = 0.830)]. There were QOL differences among the five PHQ categories (PCS: p = 0.028; MCS: p ≤ 0.001) with both MCS and PCS decreasing with increasing depression. ANCOVA (with number of comorbidities as the covariate) showed a significant age × ethnicity interaction for PCS (p = 0.044) and MCS (p = 0.039), respectively. Young Indo-Trinidadians had significantly lower PCS than did Afro-Trinidadians, while the converse was true for MCS. Depression, age, and number of comorbidities were predictors of PCS, while depression, age, and sex were predictors of MCS. CONCLUSIONS Increasing severity of depression worsened both PCS and MCS QOL. Age and level of clinical depression predicted QOL, with number of comorbidities predicting only PCS and sex predicting only MCS. Efforts must be made to treat depression in all age groups of patients with cardiac disease.

Abstract
After an acute cardiac event, many patients experience emotional disturbance. This is a normal response to the event and to hospitalization, but, if not treated with emotive and social support, the symptoms can evolve, resulting in emotional and behavioural disorders. The aim of the study was to evaluate the outcome of the use of a new nursing relational tool, designed to support patients’ emotional recovery. The data are the result of semi-structured narrative interviews, conducted in the intensive cardio care unit of the Mauriziano hospital of Turin and by telephone, during March and August of 2017. The research sample involved 26 patients, divided into control and intervention groups. Exclusion criteria were: under age of 18, cognitive impairment or dementia, difficulty with comprehension and expression in Italian, and previous acute cardiac events. The interviews have shown that an emotional management tool improves the patient’s recovery, the quality of information received, and the quality of the patient’s everyday life after the event. The use of a relational tool by nursing staff improves the patient’s emotional management and increases the knowledge required to ensure a good quality of life. Continuous use also improves the confidence of health professionals in managing these emotional conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Illness perception in younger age differs from that in older age. We aimed to examine the association between illness perception and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with premature coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS In a cross-sectional design, between November 2016 and September 2017, a total of 779 adults (52.5% female) with premature CAD (diagnosed in men aged ≤ 45 y and women aged ≤ 55 y) completed the Beck Depression Inventory-II, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, the Brief Illness Perception, and the Short-Form Health Survey 36 questionnaires in an outpatient clinic 8 years after the diagnosis. RESULTS The patients were treated with coronary artery bypass graft surgery (24.6%), percutaneous coronary intervention (39.5%), and medical treatment (35.8%). The cognitive, emotional, and comprehension aspects of illness perception had significant associations with both physical and mental health in univariable analysis (all Ps < 0.001). After adjustments for potential confounding factors, higher cognitive perception was independently associated with greater physical health [OR = 4.13, Confidence interval (CI): 3.53-4.72] and mental health (OR = 3.17, CI: 2.57-3.77). Additionally, emotional perception was also directly associated with higher physical (OR = 1.62, CI: 1.17-2.06) and mental (OR = 1.52, CI: 1.07-1.96) health; all Ps < 0.001. CONCLUSIONS Of the 3 different aspects of illness perception, cognitive perception appeared to have the greatest influence on HRQoL, either physical or mental health. Further studies are needed to investigate whether cognitive interventions can improve HRQoL in premature CAD patients and, thus, their outcome.

Abstract
AIM To examine the effect of a self-help psychoeducation program for people with coronary heart disease in Singapore. BACKGROUND Cardiac rehabilitation has shown benefits for mitigating many cardiac risk factors and can lead to improvement in health-related quality of life and psychological well-being in people with heart disease. However, traditional hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation faces substantial challenges. A self-management cardiac rehabilitation program offers an avenue to increase uptake and empowers patients to manage their condition at home. DESIGN A two-arm, randomized controlled trial. METHODS A total of 129 patients with coronary heart disease were recruited from an outpatient clinic in a public hospital in Singapore from April 2015-January 2016. They were randomly assigned to the intervention group or the control group. Participants in the intervention group received the 4-week home-based self-help psychoeducation program. Outcomes were measured at baseline and at 4 weeks and 16 weeks from the baseline. RESULTS There were no significant differences in health-related quality of life, psychological status (i.e., perceived stress level, anxiety, and depression levels), or cardiac physiological risk parameters between the intervention and the control groups immediately after the program or at different time points. There was also no significant difference in unplanned health service use at the 16 week posttest point between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS This study did not find any significant effect of our program on outpatients with coronary heart disease. Nonetheless, findings on participant characteristics may offer healthcare professionals valuable insights to help facilitate future development of an effective cardiac rehabilitation program catered to outpatients with coronary heart disease. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study has been registered with ISRCTN registry. The trial registration number is ISRCTN15839687.

Abstract
This article explores the intraindividual variability in illness representations of people with multiple chronic conditions and examines how representations of hypertension and arthritis are associated with self-management. Intraclass correlations determined the proportion of within-person variability in illness representations including Timeline, Consequences, Personal Control, and Timeline-Cyclical for 25 adults aged 64 and older. Within-person consistency across illnesses was present for Timeline and Timeline-Cyclical, but variability across illnesses in Personal Control and Consequences. Correlations revealed associations of diet, exercise, and sleep with illness representations of people with arthritis and hypertension. Representations of hypertension (Personal Control, Timeline-Cyclical, and Consequences) were associated with adherence to a reduced fat diet, walking, and total sleep time. Representations of arthritis were not associated with health behaviors. Findings demonstrate that clinical practice must consider the illness representations patients have about each of their chronic illnesses to begin to sustain positive self-management behaviors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is an important cause of mortality and significant personal and financial costs. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs have shown positive effects in reducing cardiovascular mortality and improving functional capacity. However, adherence is low and appears to be influenced by psychosocial factors, such as patients' cognitions and emotional state. The objective was to evaluate the efficacy of a brief in-hospital psychological intervention to promote cognitive and emotional adaptation after ACS. METHODS One hundred and twenty-one patients with ACS, admitted to a coronary care unit in a central hospital, were randomized to an experimental group (EG, n=65) and a control group (CG, n=56). Portuguese versions of the HADS and BIPQ were used to measure emotional well-being and illness cognitions. Two 1 h 15 min sessions were conducted 2-3 days after hospital admission, and a 20-minute follow-up session took place one month after discharge. Patients were assessed at four different time points: pre-test, post-test, and at 1- and 2-month follow-up. RESULTS The intervention had significant effects on anxiety, depression and illness cognitions. Anxiety and depression were significantly reduced and illness cognitions improved significantly in the EG compared to the control group. For the EG, these changes were maintained or enhanced at 1- and 2-month follow-up, whereas for the CG there was a deterioration in psychosocial adjustment. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that a brief psychological intervention program delivered during hospitalization for ACS and combined with standard medical care can have positive effects in terms of psychosocial outcomes that have proven impact on cardiac rehabilitation and prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is one of the most burdensome cardiovascular diseases in terms of the cost of interventions. The Cardiac Rehabilitation Programme (CRP) is well-established in improving clinical outcomes but the assessment of actual clinical improvement is challenging, especially when considering pharmaceutical care (PC) values in phase I CRP during admission and upon discharge from hospital and phase II outpatient interventions. This study explores the impact of pharmacists' interventions in the early stages of CRP on humanistic outcomes and follow-up at a referral hospital in Malaysia. METHODS We recruited 112 patients who were newly diagnosed with ACS and treated at the referral hospital, Sarawak General Hospital, Malaysia. In the intervention group (modified CRP), all medication was reviewed by the clinical pharmacists, focusing on drug indication; understanding of secondary prevention therapy and adherence to treatment strategy. We compared the "pre-post" quality of life (QoL) of three groups (intervention, conventional and control) at baseline, 6 months and 12 months post-discharge with Malaysian norms. QoL data was obtained using a validated version of Short-Form 36 Questionnaire (SF-36). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measure tests was used to compare the mean differences of scores over time. RESULTS A pre-post quasi-experimental non-equivalent group comparison design was applied to 112 patients who were followed up for one year. At baseline, the physical and mental health summaries reported poor outcomes in all three groups. However, these improved gradually but significantly over time. After the 6-month follow-up, the physical component summary reported in the modified CRP (MCRP) participants was higher, with a mean difference of 8.02 (p = 0.015) but worse in the mental component summary, with a mean difference of -4.13. At the 12-month follow-up, the MCRP participants performed better in their physical component (PCS) than those in the CCRP and control groups, with a mean difference of 11.46 (p = 0.008), 10.96 (p = 0.002) and 6.41 (p = 0.006) respectively. Comparing the changes over time for minimal important differences (MICD), the MCRP group showed better social functioning than the CCRP and control groups with mean differences of 20.53 (p = 0.03), 14.47 and 8.8, respectively. In role emotional subscales all three groups showed significant improvement in MCID with mean differences of 30.96 (p = 0.048), 31.58 (p = 0.022) and 37.04 (p < 0.001) respectively. CONCLUSION Our results showed that pharmaceutical care intervention significantly improved HRQoL. The study also highlights the importance of early rehabilitation in the hospital setting.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Research into work reintegration following invasive cardiac procedures is limited. The aim of this prospective study was to explore predictors of job satisfaction among cardiac patients who have returned to work after cardiac rehabilitation (CR). MATERIAL AND METHODS The study population consisted of 90 cardiac patients who have recently been treated with coronary angioplasty or heart surgery. They were evaluated during their CR and 12 months after the discharge using validated self-report questionnaires measuring job satisfaction, work stress-related factors, emotional distress and illness perception. Information on socio-demographic, medical and occupational factors has also been collected. RESULTS After adjusting for demographic, occupational and medical variables, baseline job satisfaction (p < 0.001), depression (p < 0.01) and ambition (p < 0.05) turned out to be independent, significant predictors of job satisfaction following return to work (RTW). Patients who had a partial RTW were more satisfied with their job than those who had a full RTW, controlling for baseline job satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS These findings recommend an early assessment of patients' psychosocial work environment and emotional distress, with particular emphasis on job satisfaction and depressive symptoms, in order to promote satisfying and healthy RTW after cardiac interventions.

Abstract
AIM To determine the association between illness belief and self-efficacy to provide the evidence-base to develop a personalized framework to support self-management in patients with alcohol-related liver disease. BACKGROUND Research in a variety of long-term illnesses suggests patients' illness beliefs are a more influential factor for patient recovery than the severity of the illness. However, research into illness belief and self-efficacy of patients with alcohol-related liver disease is sparse. DESIGN A cross-sectional survey. METHODS A cohort of 159 patients with alcohol-related liver disease who attended the Liver Outpatient Clinics at a London Hospital (October 2012-November 2013) completed a set of validated instruments measuring illness beliefs, self-efficacy, emotional states and quality of life. FINDINGS The mean age of enrolled patients was 52 years, 67% male, 26% live on their own, 61% had no previous history of other chronic illness and average Model for End-Stage Liver Disease and The AUDIT Alcohol Consumption Questions scores were 11·0 and 3·5 respectively. After adjusting for demographic and illness characteristic components, multiple regression analysis shows that the three illness belief components 'Symptoms', 'Understanding' and 'Concerns' made a significant contribution to their confidence to self-manage their liver condition and the 'Symptoms' component makes a signification contribution across to all outcome measures: Anxiety, Depression, Quality of Life and Self-Efficacy. CONCLUSION Interventions designed to improve these patients' understanding of their illness and strategies to manage their symptoms are likely to improve their self-management, quality of life and reduce anxiety and depression.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in the search for meaning and functional status (psychological and physical) between persons who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention and have recurrent angina symptoms and those who do not have recurrent symptoms. Participants (224; 147 male, 77 female) who underwent PCI completed the following study materials: Meaning in Heart Disease instrument, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and SF36v2™. Persons with recurrent angina symptoms (40% of the sample) were more likely to have higher disrupted meaning, greater anxiety, greater depression, lower physical functioning, and greater use of meaning-based coping (searching for answers and refocusing global meaning) compared with individuals without recurrent symptoms. Interventions are needed to identify the risk of recurrent symptoms after percutaneous coronary intervention and provide coping and cognitive behavioral interventions focused on managing the psychological and physical disruptions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factor level awareness in coronary patients and to assess its associations with health-related quality of life (HRQoL)/psychological distress. METHODS Data on 8,743 coronary patients from 22 European countries, interviewed and examined at least 6 months after their acute event was available. RESULTS 81.7% of patients indicated to be aware of their own blood pressure level, whereas only 46.6% of patients indicated to be aware of their cholesterol level. Furthermore, 43.7% of patients were aware of their blood glucose level, whereas in diabetes patients blood glucose level awareness reached 81.8%. Risk factor level awareness was significantly associated with HRQoL/psychological distress, with patients being unaware of their risk factor levels having worse outcomes. The relationship between awareness and HRQoL/psychological distress seemed to be partly mediated by the attempt of patients to adopt a healthier behaviour. CONCLUSIONS Health care workers should be encouraged to inform their patients about the importance of their coronary risk factors, the actual level and their personal target.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Newly diagnosed coronary heart disease patients can experience significant negative changes in their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). No existing literature review was found related to factors predicting HRQoL in newly diagnosed coronary heart disease patients. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to identify factors predicting HRQoL in newly diagnosed coronary heart disease patients. REVIEW METHODS We searched studies published between 1997 and 2009 with combinations of key words including factors, predictor, health-related quality of life, quality of life, first diagnosed coronary heart disease patients, and coronary heart disease patients. Data sources were ProQuest, ScienceDirect, CINAHL, PsychINFO, PubMed, and Scopus. Seventeen studies were identified that primarily examined HRQoL from 6 weeks to 12 months after diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS Factors predicting HRQoL in newly diagnosed coronary heart disease patients can be divided into 3 groups: sociodemographic, clinical, and psychosocial. Characteristics in each category most strongly predictive of HRQoL in newly diagnosed coronary heart disease patients were: Sociodemographic positive predictors were baseline HRQoL, education level, and marital status; sociodemographic negative predictors included number of cardiovascular risks and female gender. Age was an inverse predictor. Clinical negative predictors included angina, physical functioning, and fatigue. Psychosocial positive predictors included social support and a sense of coherence, whereas depression, anxiety and depression, overall psychosocial characteristics or mood disturbance, anxiety, and hostility were negative predictors. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS This review identifies predictors of HRQoL and shows the importance of assessing factors that predict HRQoL at baseline and throughout the trajectory of this chronic illness because the concept of HRQoL changes over time but the predictors remain constant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lifestyle modification is an integral component of cardiac secondary prevention, while it has been confirmed that myocardial infarction (MI) patients' health-related behaviors are heavily influenced by their illness perception. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of a telephone follow-up intervention for improving MI patients' illness perception and lifestyle. DESIGN A randomized controlled trial, longitudinal research design was employed. SETTINGS Cardiac care units in four major general hospitals in Guangzhou, China. PARTICIPANTS Inclusion criteria were being diagnosed with an initial acute MI, being able to communicate orally in Mandarin or Cantonese and read in Chinese, and living in Guangzhou. Exclusion criteria were with continuing uncontrolled arrhythmias or heart failure, being illiteracy, or with a history of major psychiatric illness, exercise-induced asthma, uncontrolled diabetes, or evidence of dementia. METHOD 124 patients admitted with the first acute MI were randomized to receive either routine care or routine care plus a telephone follow-up intervention, which consist of a pre-discharge education and three telephone follow-up instructions. Data were collected before discharge, at the 6th and the 12th week after discharge from hospital, respectively. RESULTS At the 6th and the 12th week after discharge, patients in the intervention group had significantly positive perceptions about symptoms of MI (mean difference 3.27, 95% confidence interval 2.48-4.07, p<.001; mean difference 2.12, 95% confidence interval 1.34-2.89, p<.001 respectively) and how long their illness would last (mean difference -0.69, 95% confidence interval -0.91 to -0.47, p<.001; mean difference -0.74, 95% confidence interval -0.96 to -0.51, p<.001 respectively) compared with the control group. The intervention group also had more positive beliefs about the controllability (F=4.23, p=.04) and more improved beliefs about the causes of MI than the control group. Moreover, the intervention improved the patients' nutrition (F=5.16, p=.03) and physical activity at the 12-week follow-up (mean difference 0.37, 95% confidence interval 0.17-0.58, p<.001). CONCLUSION This telephone follow-up intervention can result in improved illness perception and lifestyle after MI. It could be incorporated into current hospital treatment regimens for MI to improve patients' quality of life.

Abstract
We investigated patients with a primary diagnosis of peripheral artery disease (n = 69) and coronary heart disease (CAD; n = 520) at baseline and on changes in psychosocial risk factors (depression, anxiety, quality of life, negative and positive affect) during a cardiovascular rehabilitation program. Patients completed psychosocial questionnaires at the beginning and at discharge of a 12-week rehabilitation program. Depression and anxiety were measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), positive and negative affect with the Global Mood Scale, and health-related quality of life with the SF-36 Health Survey. Patients with PAD showed improvements in anxiety (p < 0.001), negative affect (p < 0.001) and bodily pain (p < 0.001). Patients with CAD reported significant improvements in all measured dimensions (all p-values < 0.001).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine published literature investigating the relationship between illness perceptions, mood and quality of life (QoL) in coronary heart disease (CHD) populations. METHODS Key databases were systematically searched (CINAHL, Medline, PsycINFO, Scopus and Web of Science) for studies matching the inclusion criteria between November 2011 and February 2012. References of included studies were examined and key authors contacted. Studies were subject to a quality control check. RESULTS 21 studies met the inclusion criteria. A synthesis of the results found that illness perceptions were correlated to and predicted QoL and mood across CHD diagnoses. Specific illness perceptions (control, coherence and timeline) were found to be important for patients that had experienced an unexpected medical event, such as myocardial infarction. CONCLUSION The results of this study provide support that illness perceptions are related to outcomes across CHD populations and disease progression, however the results do not selectively support one particular model. Recommendations are consistent with cardiac rehabilitation guidelines. Further research should focus on the systemic impact of illness perceptions.

Abstract
AIM This article is a report of a study exploring health-related quality of life in adults with congenital heart disease and the extent to which it is associated with patients' illness beliefs and emotional health. BACKGROUND A reduction in mortality in patients with congenital heart disease has led to an increasingly older population that faces new challenges. Studies in a younger adult population have reported inconsistent findings regarding health-related quality of life. Factors such as, the complexity of the congenital heart defect, have not been found to be associated with quality of life. The association between illness beliefs and health-related quality of life has not previously been reported. METHOD A cross-sectional questionnaire study of adults with congenital heart disease attending an outpatient clinic in a specialist centre in the United Kingdom between October 2007 and May 2008. RESULTS The mean age of the study population was 37·2 years. Participants reported poorer physical functioning, role functioning and general health than a general population. High levels of anxiety were reported in 38% and high levels of depression in 17%. In multivariate analysis, higher levels of anxiety and depression were associated with poorer mental functioning and higher levels of depression with poorer physical quality of life. CONCLUSION We have reported that high levels of anxiety and depression in an older population of patients with congenital heart disease are associated with poorer quality of life. This highlights the need to routinely assess anxiety and depression in this patient group and to provide psychological support appropriately.
