Psychological Features of Cardiological Patients in the Process of Psychocorrection

Abstract

A total of 45 patients (men and women) with coronary heart disease were examined during inpatient treatment. The average age of the examined patients was 62.49 ± 8.89 years. During the study, the clinical and psychological method was used, which included the method of observation and conversation. This method allows you to study not only the disease, but also the patient himself. The conversation preceded the instrumental examination and one of the main tasks of its application was the formation of the subject's adequate attitude to the psychodiagnostic procedure. In addition, this method was aimed at obtaining information of an informational and cognitive nature. In the course of the conversation, the data necessary to obtain information about the patient's present and about his past were clarified.

The aim of the study was to study the psychological characteristics of cardiac patients in the process of an individual psychocorrectional program.
