Abstract

Aim: To determine the relationship between self-concept and coping styles in patients with heart failure in an Iranian population. Design: This study had a correlational design. Methods: In this study, 100 HF patients hospitalized in the CCU and cardiac ward of Vali-Asr Hospital of Birjand, Iran were selected by convenience sampling method. Two validated and reliable questionnaires including Cognitive Perception of Self-Concept and the Coping Styles questionnaires were completed by each patient. Results: There were significant associations between emotion-oriented and threat to self-concept in total and physical sensation and self-consistency dimensions. Also, a significant association was observed between avoidance-oriented and threat to self-concept in total and body sensation dimension (p <.05). There was no significant association between the problem-oriented component and the threat to self-concept in total and none of its dimensions. The challenge to self-concept and its dimensions were not significantly related to any component of coping styles. © 2019 The Authors. Nursing Open published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
