This book was released on 2016 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to determine if physical activity is related to health related quality of life (HRQoL) in older adults who have a history of myocardial infarction. This study included eight older adults with history of myocardial infarction who were enrolled in a medically supervised exercise and education program known as cardiac rehabilitation. Each participant completed the HRQoL survey and wore a FitBit for three consecutive days in order to measure physical activity level. A Pearson’s correlation test was run. Results showed that HRQoL and physical activity level did not correlate when the data was run with the outlier present (r = .46, P = .29, P > 0.05) or without the outlier present (r = .14, P = .77, P > 0.05). In conclusion, there was no significant correlation between HRQoL and physical activity level in older adults with history of myocardial infarction. The number of participants in this study was less than expected. There were only 8 participants who agreed to participate in the present research study, which was limited by diagnosis and age. During the data collection process, 19 patients enrolled in cardiac rehabilitation either did not have an MI diagnosis or qualify to participate based on age. Three patients, who did qualify, did not want to participant in the study. Further research needs to be conducted with a larger sample size and a wider range of heart diagnoses in cardiac rehabilitation in order to get a more reliable and valid result. The research sample should be open to all patients who have been diagnosed with an MI or who have had heart procedures (Stent/PTCA) or open-heart surgery (CABG) in order to obtain a more reliable measure. The present research study is unique because all patients are post-MI and are enrolled in a medically supervised exercise program in order to educate them on how to exercise and what guidelines to follow. Future research could control for the type of MI each participant has or how many bypasses or stents each participant received and investigate any differences in the results that may appear after analyzing steps per day and HRQoL.

Book excerpt: Background: Coronary heart disease can have a long lasting impact on affected individuals in terms of both physical and psychological adjustment and quality of life. It is, therefore, important to investigate determinants of outcome in these patients. The thesis has four main aims: (i) to investigate predictors of outcome (adherence, quality of life, functional impairment, psychological distress and benefit finding) post-myocardial infarction (MI); (ii) to determine the prevalence and stability of Type D personality in the UK; (iii) to determine if personality predicts outcome after controlling for mood, demographic and clinical factors, and (iv) to investigate potential mechanisms which may explain the link between personality and poor prognosis in cardiac patients. Method: Five studies were conducted. In Studies 1-3, participants completed measures of Type D personality, health-related behaviour, social support and neuroticism. In Study 4, participants completed an experimental stressor with cardiovascular monitoring. Study 5 was a prospective study in which 131 MI patients completed measures of personality, illness cognitions and outcome at two time points, 3-5 days post-MI, then again 3 months later. Results: The prevalence of Type D personality in the UK is 39% in the healthy population, and 34% in the cardiac population. In addition, Type D is predictive of adherence, quality of life, and functional impairment in post-MI patients after controlling for mood, demographics, and clinical factors. Five possible mechanisms (health-related behaviour, adherence, social support, cardiovascular reactivity, and illness perceptions) by which Type D may lead to adverse outcome in cardiac patients were identified. Mood predicted quality of life and functional impairment post-MI, illness perceptions predicted quality of life post-MI, and future thinking predicted quality of life, functional impairment and depression post-MI. Discussion: These findings have important therapeutic and theoretical implications for understanding the role of personality and illness cognitions in the short-term recovery of post-MI patients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Americans believe that people who lack health insurance somehow get the care they really need. Care Without Coverage examines the real consequences for adults who lack health insurance. The study presents findings in the areas of prevention and screening, cancer, chronic illness, hospital-based care, and general health status. The committee looked at the consequences of being uninsured for people suffering from cancer, diabetes, HIV infection and AIDS, heart and kidney disease, mental illness, traumatic injuries, and heart attacks. It focused on the roughly 30 million-one in seven-working-age Americans without health insurance. This group does not include the population over 65 that is covered by Medicare or the nearly 10 million children who are uninsured in this country. The main findings of the report are that working-age Americans without health insurance are more likely to receive too little medical care and receive it too late; be sicker and die sooner; and receive poorer care when they are in the hospital, even for acute situations like a motor vehicle crash.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This in-depth survey of salutogenesis shows the breadth and strengths of this innovative perspective on health promotion, health care, and wellness. Background and historical chapters trace the development of the salutogenic model of health, and flesh out the central concepts, most notably generalized resistance resources and the sense of coherence, that differentiate it from pathogenesis. From there, experts describe a range of real-world applications within and outside health contexts, from positive psychology to geriatrics, from small towns to corrections facilities, and from school and workplace to professional training. Perspectives from scholars publishing in languages other than English show the global relevance of the field. Among the topics in the Handbook: · Emerging ideas relevant to the salutogenic model of health · Specific resistance resources in the salutogenic model of health · The sense of coherence and its measurement · The application of salutogenesis in communities and neighborhoods · The application of salutogenesis to health development in youth with chronic conditions · The application of salutogenesis in mental health care settings The Handbook of Salutogenesis summarizes an increasingly salient field for graduate and professional students of public health, nursing, psychology, and medicine, and for their instructors. It will also appeal to health-related academicians and professionals who wish to have a thorough grounding in the topic.
