Background: The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between quality of life and mental health dimensions in the resilience and pain perception of patients after heart surgery in Shahid Madani Hospital, Tabriz.
Materials and methods: The current research was an applied research in terms of its purpose, and it was a descriptive-correlation research in terms of its nature. The statistical population of the present study consisted of all heart patients after surgery in Shahid Madani Hospital of Tabriz city, which is approximately 460 people during three months. The statistical sample of this research was 210 cardiac patients after surgery in Shahid Madani Hospital of Tabriz, which was obtained by using Morgan's table and available sampling method. To collect data, a revised pain questionnaire was used. Gil (SF-MPQ-2), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), short-form 36-question quality of life questionnaires -36SF- and Keys Mental Health Questionnaire (2002) were used. Data analysis was done with the statistical method of multiple regression.
Results: The quality of life subscales (physical function, physical role, emotional role, mental health, and general health) had the ability to predict resilience, and as these quality of life components increase, resilience also increases, and the subscale Quality of life factors had the ability to predict pain perception negatively, and as these quality of life components increase, pain perception also decreases. The results of multiple regression showed that mental health subscales (emotional well-being and mental well-being) had the ability to positively predict resilience, and as emotional well-being and mental well-being increase, resilience also increases. The sub-scales of mental health had the ability to predict the perception of pain in a negative way, and as emotional well-being, social well-being and psychological well-being increase, pain perception also decreases.
Conclusion: The quality of life subscales has the ability to predict resilience and pain, and as these quality of life components increase, resilience also increases.
