Determinants of life satisfaction in adolescents with congenital or acquired heart disease: a nationwide cross-sectional study
In adolescents with heart disease, high life satisfaction was associated with high levels of self-efficacy. High levels of self-efficacy and social support attenuated the association between physical and cognitive challenges and life satisfaction. In this group that may face higher challenges than their peers, future interventions should aim to increase their self-efficacy to improve their life satisfaction, potentially through promoting social support.
