To investigate the relationship between disease fear, self-efficacy, and psychological resilience after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in Xinxiang of Henan province.

A total of 137 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting in Xinxiang Central Hospital were selected by convenient sampling method. Fear disease progression simplified scale (FoPQ-SF) was used to investigate the status of postoperative fear of disease before discharge, 6 weeks, and 3 months after operation, and self-efficacy scale (GSES) and psychological resilience scale (CDRISC) were used to evaluate their self-efficacy and psychological resilience. Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between GSES score, CD-RISC score, and FoP-Q-SF score, and Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of self-efficacy and psychological resilience on disease fear progression.

The scores of FoP-Q-SF items, total score, GSES score, and CD-RISC score increased gradually before discharge, 6 weeks, and 3 months after operation, and the difference was statistically significant. Pearson correlation showed that GSES score and CD-RISC score were positively correlated with FoP-Q-SF score. Stepwise multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that GSES score and CD-RISC score were the influencing factors of postoperative disease fear progression.

The disease fear status of patients after coronary artery bypass grafting in Xinxiang area of Henan Province is at a high level, and self-efficacy and psychological resilience are closely related to it, which are also the influencing factors of postoperative disease fear progression.
