Abstract: (2 Views)
Background & Aim: Anxiety and sleep disorders have adverse effects on the well-being of patients with acute coronary syndrome. This study aimed to determine the effect of self-management based on Social Cognitive Theory on anxiety and sleep quality in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Methods & Materials: This clinical trial was conducted in 2024 on 72 patients with acute coronary syndrome hospitalized in the cardiac intensive care units of Hajar Hospital, Shahrekord. Participants were enrolled sequentially and conveniently and were randomly assigned to two groups of 36 (intervention and control). They completed the Beck Anxiety Inventory and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The intervention group received virtual education in six 30-minute sessions. The control group received routine care. Data were collected before, immediately after, and 8 weeks after the intervention. Data analysis was performed using chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests in SPSS version 20.
Results: Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in anxiety scores or sleep quality between the two groups (P>0.05). After the intervention, sleep quality showed a significant difference compared to before the intervention (P<0.05). However, anxiety levels did not show a significant difference after the intervention compared to before (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Considering the effect of the intervention based on Social Cognitive Theory on sleep quality in patients with acute coronary syndrome, this intervention is recommended in addition to conventional care for these patients. Further studies are needed to reduce their anxiety levels.
