摘要：

This research examined the role of self-care behavior of 151 patients (aged 40 to 80) on general psychological distress at one year after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. A tested hypothesis was that self-care practices would be associated with a lower level of distress one year after surgery. The results supported the beneficial effect of self-care on psychological adjustment, after controlling for the effects of the number of other chronic illnesses and post-CABG depression. The findings suggest that social work in health care and in-home care may help promote the psychosocial recovery process following surgery.
