Abstract

       This study was aimed to analyze the predictive relationships of shock anxiety about automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillators (AICDs), health literacy and social support influencing to health related quality of life in patient with AICDs. The sample was 90 patients with AICDs who came to follow-up at a tertiary hospital. Instrumentation was composed of the following: The personal data recording form, Short – Form-12 Health Survey Version 2 (SF-12 V2), Florida Shock Anxiety Scale; FSAS, The health literacy evaluation form for patients with AICDs, and the social support questionnaire. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis.

        The samples were good quality of life (Mean= 634.96, S.D. = 73.12). Based on the outcome from enter multiple regression analysis, all independent variables were found to be able to explain fluctuations in the quality of life in patients with AICDs at 17.7 percent (R2=.177, p<.05). Finding anxiety about AICDs and social support were found to be able to predict quality of life in patients with AICDS with statistical significance (p<.05).

        The results from this study suggest that nurses should provide proper information for patients with AICDS about implantable cardioverter defibrillators to reduce anxiety among patients, promote social support in patients with AICDs in order to promote self-care and improve better quality of life.
