A higher likelihood of survival
A higher likelihood of survival
Heart patients with an optimistic outlook are more likely to be healthier down the road [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and survive longer than those with less rosy views, new research suggests.A study reported this week in the Archives of Internal Medicine that followed 2,800 heart patients found that those with more positive attitudes about their recovery had about a 30 percent greater chance of survival after 15 years than patients with pessimistic leanings.Though other studies have looked at how long it was before patients returned to work, this is the longest, largest study to track survival, says lead author Dr. John Barefoot, professor emeritus at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C.
“Our research shows better physical recovery and a higher likelihood of survival is [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] linked to attitude,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],” Barefoot says.
The researchers gave a questionnaire to cardiac patients with coronary artery disease at the time they were in the hospital receiving a diagnosis. It asked their thoughts about recovery and returning to a normal lifestyle. They were asked to agree or disagree, for example, with statements such as these: I expect my lifestyle will suffer; I can still live a long, healthy life; I doubt that I’ll ever fully recover.The scientists followed the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] patients for about 15 years. Even after controlling for a range of factors, including the severity of their coronary disease, age, gender, income and depression when they were hospitalized, a good attitude about recovery still correlated with better health years later.
