Introduction: Psychiatric problems accompanying cardiac problems are noteworthy risk factors as
regards cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Aim: This study aimed to determine the anger level and anger expression style in patients with
cardiovascular disease, and the association of anger level with anxiety and depression levels.
Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 254 patients with cardiovascular disease.
Study data were collected with the Personal Information Form, State-Trait Anger Expression
Inventory, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Descriptive statistics, the Kolmogorov-
Smirnov test and Spearman correlation were used for the analysis.
Results: The mean scores the patients obtained from the trait anger, anger-in, anger-out and angercontrol
subscales were 24.28 ± 6.39, 18.37 ± 3.74, 16.78 ± 4.78, 18.65 ± 5.66 respectively. Trait anger
level had a strong positive correlation with anxiety and depression levels. Anger-in level had a weak
positive correlation with anxiety and depression levels. Anger-out level had a moderate positive
correlation with anxiety and depression levels. On the other hand, anger-control level had a moderate
negative correlation with anxiety level and a strong negative correlation with depression level.
Conclusion: The participants’ anxiety and depression levels increased as their trait anger, anger-in
and anger-out levels increased and their anger-control levels decreased. Therefore, in order to
reduce anger levels of patients with cardiovascular disease, psychosocial interventions addressing
anger control should be planned, and a multidisciplinary approach should be applied.
