Objective: Stress and other emotional distress are prevalent among cardiovascular patients. This study is performed to investigate the effect of medical counseling on stress and physiological factors of patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) and Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA). Methods: This study is of experimental type with pre-test, post-test and control group. Our sample consisted of 60 patients selected by a randomly accessible method and placed either into the experimental group or the control group. Stress was measured by Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and physical factors data were obtained from patients’ files twice, before and after medical intervention. Findings: Findings showed that post-test stress in experimental group was less than that of PCI patients, though not significant. Data were analyzed using SPSS and MANCOVA. Conclusion: Medical counseling lacked any significant effect on stress and physiological factors of these patients. The experience of stress in cardiac patients seems to be unique and different from other people, thus its measurement requires a scale specifically designed for these patients.

Objective: Based on Young’s schema therapy model, three coping styles i.e. avoidance, surrender, and overcompensation is utilized against schema activation. Confronting with events, the type of dominant coping style affects general health. The aim of this study was to predict general health status (mental and physical) based on the type of dominant coping styles. Method: For this purpose, Short-Form Health Survey questionnaire (SF-36), Young-Rygh Compensation Inventory (YCI), and Young-Rygh Avoidance Inventory (YAI) were filled by 120 students of University of Tehran sampled via convenience sampling. The results were analysis through correlation and multiple regression methods in SPSS software (version 18). Findings: The results revealed that there is a significant relationship between two coping styles i.e. avoidance and overcompensation with general health status (p≤0/05). In addition, regression analysis showed that overcompensation coping style has a major role in the prediction of general health status. Conclusion: Based on the results, both coping styles i.e. avoidance and overcompensation have negative effect on general health, but facing with events through excessive overcompensation has more deteriorative effect on mental and physical health.
