Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of anxiety and depression and associated risk factors among cardiovascular disease patients during the post-COVID-19 period. The results showed that marital status and treatment interruption during the pandemic were independent risk factors for anxiety and depression. Additionally, current monthly income and access to telemedicine during the pandemic were independent risk factors for anxiety.

Summary: Caregivers play a crucial role in supporting patients with chronic diseases, such as heart disease, but often experience caregiver stress. Interventions for caregivers of heart disease patients mainly focus on improving quality of life and reducing burden, depression, and anxiety, with more research needed to develop consistent clinical interventions that improve caregiver outcomes.

Summary: More than 50% of cardiac surgery patients experience anxiety, stress, and/or depression after surgery, with at least 10% meeting clinical diagnoses. Personal, social, and health service factors can predict post-surgery psychological distress among cardiac patients. Identifying and addressing these factors can help reduce distress and promote optimal recovery.

Summary: Depression and anxiety have predictive value for noncardiac readmission among patients with angina pectoris. Patients with comorbidity of depression and anxiety have worse prognoses compared to those with single mood symptoms. Additional attention is needed for the initial identification and long-term monitoring of mood symptom comorbidity.

Summary: The relationship status of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients was found to be associated with depression, while sex was associated with anxiety. The importance of considering relationship status and potential relationship problems, as well as the role of social support in mental and physical well-being, should be taken into account in treating ACHD patients.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between psychological distress and health perception in patients with a previous myocardial infarction (MI) and/or stroke. The findings showed that patients with anxiety and depression had a worse perception of their health status. Understanding patient health perceptions can aid physicians in providing more patient-centered care and promoting behaviors that improve both cardiovascular disease and mental health outcomes.

Summary: In male prisoners over 35 years, a score of > 10 on the PHQ-9 may over diagnose depressive episodes, but a score of > 10 on the GAD-7 may detect cases of GAD more efficiently. Further research utilizing standardized psychiatric interviews is needed to determine whether the diagnostic algorithm, a higher cut-off on the PHQ-9, or the symptom profiles on the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 used singly or in combination can be used to efficiently screen depressive episodes in prisoners.

Summary: Individuals with lower physical health-related quality of life and more frequent heart failure symptoms are more likely to engage in a behavioral intervention. However, those with greater functional impairment may have difficulty improving physical activity levels in response to the intervention. Additionally, participants' perceived utility of initial intervention sessions may predict long-term behavior change.

Summary: In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), factors such as female sex, preexisting coronary artery disease, cardiac anxiety, stress from noise, work-related stress, and sleep disturbance are associated with higher symptom severity. Preexisting coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, generalized anxiety, cardiac anxiety, financial stress, and sleep disturbance are associated with impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

This study surveyed 100 adults with type 2 diabetes to assess their preferences for different types of text messages and identified participant characteristics associated with those preferences. The findings can be used to personalize the content and delivery of text message interventions.

Summary: Classification of depression in patients with heart failure can be based on the severity of symptoms, and different depression subtypes have different predictions for treatment response and mental and physical health outcomes. For patients with depression and heart failure, the mild depression subtype may not meet full criteria for major depressive disorder, thus it is recommended to require depressed mood or anhedonia as necessary symptoms for major depressive disorder.

Summary: Positive thoughts and emotions contribute to overall psychological health in patients undergoing HSCT. This study examined positive psychological well-being in 156 patients at 100 days post-HSCT using validated measures for optimism, gratitude, positive affect, life satisfaction, and flourishing. The majority of participants reported high levels of positive psychological well-being, but a minority reported low levels. Further research should investigate interventions to promote positive psychological well-being in HSCT recipients.

Summary: Well-being characteristics in patients with kidney failure are associated with improved health-related quality of life, reduced morbidity and complications, and increased survival. Potential mechanisms mediating these associations include reduced inflammation, improved autonomic and endothelial function, and improved health behavior adherence. Psychologic and psychosocial interventions promoting well-being in this population have primarily focused on improving self-efficacy, with limited study on interventions targeting positive psychologic constructs.

Summary: This pilot study found that larger step increases by week 3 in a physical activity intervention predicted activity increase at the end of treatment and follow-up. Variability in early steps was not associated with outcomes. Cut-off values of 500 and 2000 steps for early increase may have practical relevance.
