Adverse Impact of COVID-19 on Hopelessness Levels in Patients With Ischemic Heart Disease
In this first study to report hopelessness levels in patients with IHD during the COVID-19 pandemic, the relationship between hopelessness and perceived COVID-19 impact was supported and mediated by anxiety. During a pandemic, food access, social support, family income/employment, and stress in patients with IHD may increase feelings of hopelessness. Further research is required to examine the hopelessness and anxiety relationship.
