Abstract

Introduction:

The aim of this study is to compare the brain-behavioral systems in people before and after open-heart surgery.

Method:

The present research is a descriptive study with a comparative and retrospective causal method with purposeful sampling. The statistical population of the study includes 210 people, encompassing 70 people who underwent open-heart surgery, 70 volunteered for open-heart surgery and 70 other with a history of heart diseases. the information was collected in addition to the demographic questionnaire through the Gray-Wilson personality questionnaire. Then, in order to analyze the collected data, statistical models of multivariate and univariate analysis of variance were used.

Results:

The results showed that, patients candidate for open-heart surgery scored higher than patients who underwent surgery and the control group in behavioral activation measure. According to the findings in the behavioral inhibition component, there is a significant difference between the three groups. Patients who underwent surgery received the minimum scores in active avoidance, further people who underwent open-heart surgery received lower scores than patients who were candidate for surgery and the control group in extinction measurement.

Conclusion:

Therefore, due to the decrease in the performance of the behavioral activation system and the increase in the performance of the behavioral inhibition system, behavioral-activation-based interventions under the supervision of psychologists should be planned and implemented for these patients.
