Background and objective: Due to the increasing incidence and prevalence of coronary heart disease and emphasis on researchers of Health on Association Biological and psychological factors and cardiac biomarkers with incidence and persistence of cardiovascular disease are felt more than ever necessary to analyze the relationship between Coping Ways with Stress and Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), But until now researchers have not explored it empirically, So The aim of this study was to examine the relation between Coping Ways with Stress and Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in Coronary Heart Disease patients.
Materials and methods: This is a correlation study. Statistical community were All patients CHD Shahid Rajaie Heart Hospital in Tehran. 44 patients with CHD admitted to the women and men surgical department surgery, women and men local department and private sector hospitals that CHD confirmed by angiography had been chosen from among eligible patients.Condition.In this study was used of Coping Ways questionnaire- Lazarus and Folkman and Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) kit. For statistical analysis of research data was usedIndicators and descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis with stepwise method. The computer software used in this study for data processing was SPSS/17.
Results: The results showed there are Positive and significant correlation between Emotional Focused Coping Ways(Inefficient) and Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)and also Negative and significant correlation between Problem Focused Coping Ways(Efficient) and Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and coefficient of positive re-evaluation coping way (β=-0/737) according to the T test show that the variables with 99% confidence can be predicted to the changes related to Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and also coefficients of positive re-evaluation and Responsibility coping ways according to the T test show that the variables with 99% confidence can be predicted to the changes related to Low-density lipoprotein (LDL).
Conclusion: In sum, we conclude that the increased use of Emotional Focused Coping Ways lead to increases in levels of Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)and increased in the use of Problem Focused Coping Ways lead to decreased in levels of Low-density lipoprotein (LDL).
