Abstract
More than half the patients studied did not report experiencing significant depression. In those who did, both physical and psychosocial variables accounted for 48.6% of the variance. These findings warrant further research and indicate a need to test interventions aimed at enhancing perceived control, reducing neuroticism, and meeting educational needs to reduce depression in patients with heart failure.
