Effects of rumination on clinical outcomes of patients after emergency coronary stent implantation

Abstract

Objective To investigate the effect of rumination on the prognosis of patients after emergency coronary stent implantation. Methods A total of 100 patients with coronary stent implantation in the Affiliated Hospital of Medical School of Ningbo University from January 2014 to January 2016 were prospectively collected and investigated using Event Related Rumination Inventory (ERRI) , SAS, SDS and SF-36. According to the purposeful rumination on admission, patients were assigned into A group (purposeful rumination≥15, n=46) or B group (purposeful rumination<15, n=54) . Moreover, according to the invasive rumination on admission, patients were assigned into C group (invasive rumination<15, n=42) and D group (invasive rumination≥15, n=58) . The effect of rumination on clinical outcomes of patients were compared at admission and 18 months after operation. Results The rumination's average scores of A, B, C and D groups were (21.57±2.48) , (10.82±2.47) , (11.26±1.82) , and (20.81±2.09) . At admission, SAS and SDS scores of patients in A group were (38.27±5.89) and (37.91±6.32) , which were both lower than B group (t=6.330, 6.557; P 0.05) . At admission, SAS and SDS scores of patients in C group were (38.71±5.92) and (37.65±6.72) , which were both lower than D group (t=5.222, 6.324; P 0.05) . Conclusions The decrease of purposeful rumination and the increase of invasive rumination are not conducive to the recovery of left ventricular function, and decrease the quality of life in patients with coronary artery stent implantation.
