Introduction

In spite of positive somatic outcomes of Coronary artery bypass grafting for treatment coronary artery disease, psychological distresses persist or appear for the first time after the operation worsening the patient's quality of life. Research studies show the interrelationships between psychological states and quality of life after CABG.

Objectives and Aims

Methods

135 patients (101 men and 34 women) are randomly selected from the population of patients undergoing CABG at 3 medical centers in Tehran, Iran between December, 2009 and May, 2010. SCL-90-R and SF-36 are used to assess the mental disorders and quality of life, respectively. A structured interview is used to gather and investigate personal data and history of patients. Data analysis using Pearson correlation coefficient and t-tests are done.

There is a significant, inverse association between quality of life and GSI (r=-0.4, P<0.01).

Conclusions
