Relationship between employment and mental health outcomes following Cardiac Rehabilitation: an observational analysis from the National Audit of Cardiac Rehabilitation

چکیده
BACKGROUND Employment status has been shown to impact mental health state and intervention outcomes, yet still to be studied in a Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) population. This observational study investigated the relationship between employment status and mental health outcomes following Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR). METHODS All patients with an eligible cardiovascular incident entered into the National Audit of Cardiac Rehabilitation (NACR) 1 January 2013-31st December 2015. Logistic regression comparing the association between employment status and normal mental health categories. RESULTS A total of 24,242 CR patients with completed post CR assessments were included and had representative age and gender distribution (mean 65years, 73.2% male). At baseline the unemployed status had a lower proportion of patients in normal healthy categories than other groups (T-test and chi-squared p=<0.05). The regression analyses revealed no significant association between retired and employed groups and outcome. There was significant association between unemployed patients and all mental health outcomes except anxiety; all p values<0.05 and odds ratios between 0.525 and 0.772 showing less likelihood of achieving the normal healthy category. CONCLUSIONS This is the first UK study, using routinely collected data, to investigate in coronary heart disease patients the impact of employment status on outcomes. The findings were that when weighted for baseline differences, unemployed patients mostly had poorer outcomes. Teams involved in CR delivery should take particular care when interpreting mental health baseline measures when setting CR goals, especially in relation to unemployed patients, and efforts should be made in providing more patient tailored interventions.

Does service timing matter for psychological outcomes in cardiac rehabilitation? Insights from the National Audit of Cardiac Rehabilitation
Background The presence of mental health conditions in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) patients such as anxiety and depression can lead to reduced programme adherence, increased mortality and increased re-occurrence of cardiovascular events undermining the aims and benefit of CR. Earlier research has identified a relationship between delayed commencement of CR and poorer physical activity outcomes....

BACKGROUND Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) is a multicomponent tailored intervention aiming to reduce lifestyle risk factors and promote health in patients post cardiovascular disease. CR is delivered either as supervised or facilitated self-delivered yet little evidence exists evaluating the association between mode of delivery and outcomes. METHODS This observational study used data routinely c...

OBJECTIVE Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an evidence-based intervention delivered by a wide range of high-volume and low-volume centres; however, the extent of volume-outcome relationship is yet to be studied. There is a lack of consensus about the effect of volume on outcomes, with evidence of mixed effects in acute and chronic care. The aim of this study is, to investigate the extent of assoc...
