SELECTED PERSONALITY CHARACTERISTICS AND HEALTH-RELATED BEHAVIOUR IN RELATION TO POSTOPERATIVE ADAPTATION OF CHRONIC CARDIOVASCULAR PATIENTS
Abstract
Cardiovascular patients comprise more than a half of Czech in-patients. Some patients need a surgical intervention and their recovery is affected by various psychosocial factors. The aim of this research was to examine the influence of Big Five personality traits and health-related behaviour on postoperative adaptation, which was defined as the length of postoperative hospitalization and postoperative quality of life. To explore the above relationships, the BFI-10 personality inventory, the Health-Related Behaviour Scale and the Duke Health Profile quality of life questionnaire were used. The research sample consisted of cardiovascular patients hospitalized at the Centre of Cardiovascular and Transplant Surgery in Brno (Czech Republic). The patients filled in the diagnostic questionnaires during the preoperative period of their hospital stays. To obtain postoperative data, the same questionnaires were sent to the patients six months after the surgery. The influence of the investigated variables was then examined using a multiple linear regression analysis. Of the investigated variables, daily schedule regularity and age appeared to be statistically significant predictors of postoperative hospitalization. Postoperative quality of life was influenced by neuroticism and physical activity. The other variables showed no statistically significant effect on postoperative adaptation.
