Type: article

Abstract: Objective: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between perceived stress and anxiety levels in patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG). Methods: A descriptive-observational study design was conducted in a single center in Turkey with 190 patients. Results: The mean age of the participants was 61.2±12.4, 68.4% were male, 64.2% were primary school graduates and 56.3% had angiography for the first time. It was found that having a family history of heart disease and receiving information for angiography affected stress status, while education level, income status, and access to intervention-oriented information from health professionals affected anxiety. It was found that there was a positive low and significant relationship between Perceived Stress level and trait anxiety levels, while there was no relationship between state anxiety levels. Conclusions: Perceived stress and anxiety levels were found to be moderate in patients who underwent CAG. For this reason, health workers need to plan interventions to reduce the stress and anxiety in patients.
