[Estimation of the levels of anxiety, emotional endurance and placement of control of female patients hospitalized with coronary disease].
Spielberger's State--Trait Anxiety Inventory, Z. Bizoń's Questionnaire of Neurotic Symptoms as the indicator of emotional endurance and Rotter's Internal-External Control Scale were used for the analysis of a problem concerning the mechanisms of psychological functioning of female patients hospitalized with coronary disease. 35 women suffering from coronary disease were examined, a control group consisting of 35 healthy women was also assessed. The results indicate significantly higher levels of anxiety both as a state and as a trait, lower level of endurance, and more externally placed control in the patients group in comparison with the control group. Additionally, patients strongly predisposed to anxiety tended to have an external sense of control, high level of anxiety, and low level of emotional resilience.
