Key Psychosocial Health Outcomes and Association With Resilience Among Patients With Adult Congenital Heart Disease
Authors' conclusion
Resilience is positively associated with health-related QOL for outpatients with moderate or complex ACHD, though relationships are small in magnitude.
Study context
- Population
- Outpatients with moderate or complex adult congenital heart disease, May 2021–June 2022
- Participants
- 138 outpatients
- Exposure
- Association of baseline resilience with psychosocial outcomes
- Outcome
- Resilience (CD-RISC-10) and psychosocial outcomes: health-related QOL (EQ5D-3L, linear analog scale), health status (EQ VAS), self-competence, psychological symptom burden (HADS) and distress (Kessler-6)
- Follow-up
- Baseline and 3 months
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
3 months
Mean baseline resilience score (CD-RISC-10)
29.20 ± 7.54
Higher baseline resilience associated with better values of all outcomes at 3 months, with or without adjustment for demographics; 1 point higher resilience → higher linear analog scale
0.92
95% CI 0.52–1.32
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Baseline psychosocial outcomes · mean baseline
- Relatively good health-related quality of life (QOL), health status and self-competence; low psychological symptom burden and distress
