Ethnic minority members may be at risk for state hopelessness following hospitalization for ischemic heart disease.
Archives of Psychiatric Nursing 2019 Februrary
OBJECTIVE: To examine differences in state and trait hopelessness between ethnic minority and White patients hospitalized with ischemic heart disease (IHD).
METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used to enroll 517 patients at one Midwestern U.S. hospital. The State-Trait Hopelessness Scale measured hopelessness.
RESULTS: State hopelessness was higher in ethnic minority patients compared to Whites. Ethnic minority patients who had never been married had higher state hopelessness than those who were married or separated/divorced. There were no differences in trait hopelessness.
CONCLUSIONS: Ethnic minority patients with IHD, who have never been married, may be at higher risk for state hopelessness.
