Abstract
The article presents a comparative assessment of the dynamics of anxiety and depression indicators using the HADS screening scale of patients with a history of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) during cardiac rehabilitation treatment depending on smoking factor. All patients have been divided into 2 groups according to smoking habit. Patients with smoking
factor (smokers, n=64, average age 54.94±1.6 years old) belonged to the 1st group, patients without smoking factor (non-smokers, n=50, average age, 58.64±1.4 years old) belonged to the 2nd group. The 1st group was divided into 2 subgroups in the end of resort rehabilitation in order to evaluate dynamic of researched indices: IA – smokers (n=36), that gave up smoking during the process of cardiac rehabilitation (CR), and IB – smokers (n=28) that continued smoking. The most pronounced positive dynamics of the psycho-emotional background of patients after undergoing ACS was observed in smokers who gave up smoking during cardiorehabilitation treatment.
