Abstract

Introduction: Anxiety and depression are often present among cardiac patients. According to a numerous previous studies kinesiophobia is strongly associated with physical inactivity. However still is little known about impact of negative emotional states as a predictors of high level of kinesiophobia.

Aim of the study: Evaluate a kinesiophobia level in patients after myocardial infarction (MI) and after cardiac surgery (CS) as well as investigate the relationship between anxiety, depression and kinesiophobia level in these groups of patient and comparison obtained results with healthy control group.

Material and methods: A total of 144 cardiac patients take part in this study (84 patients with diagnosis of Myocardial Infarction [MI] and 60 patients after cardiac surgery [CS]). The control group [CG] was made up of 116 healthy individuals. In the present study Kinesiophobia Causes Scale (KCS) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were used.

Results: The mean values in KCS scale for each of study groups were as follows: MI=49,3±20,3; CS=50,7±19,6; CG=36,0±18,2; p=0,0000. The highest value in KCS scale were noted in case of factor: "susceptibility to social influence", respectively: MI=61,5±22,5; CS=60,8±24,1; CG=45,8±19,8; p=0,0000. Following baseline data for HADS scale were reported in anxiety (MI=9,76±4,94, CS=8,82±5,13, CG=3,07±1,12) and depression (MI=7,74±3,85, CS=6,23±3,31; CG=4,22±1,95). In both subscale differences between group were significant at p level <0,0001. Significant correlation between anxiety, depression and kinesiophobia level were observed.

Conclusions: Anxiety level and depression level is strongly associated with fear of movement.

Keywords: kinesiophobia, fear of movement, anxiety, depression.
