Dari berbagai penelitian didapatkan bila depresi tidak ditangani dengan baik maka dapat memperburuk prognosis, meningkatkan risiko kematian dan memperlambat penyembuhan. Faktor risiko lain dalam terjadinya IMA adalah faktor pola perilaku. Berdasarkan penelitian perilaku tipe A mempunyai risiko lebih tinggi untuk mengalami penyakit jantung dibandingkan dengan perilaku tipe B. Sekitar 37-45% penderita iskemi miokard dicetuskan oleh stresor psikososial yang bila tdak diatasi dengan baik dapat berlanjut menjadi infark miokard.

Background: Depression disorders in post acute myocard infarct (ANTI) patients are frequently not detected. Only 25% of the post AMI cases that have been diagnosed and only 30% of those received adequate treatment. Based on a variety of studies, if depression is not properly handled, the prognosis will become worse augmenting the risk of mortality and slowing down the recovery. Another risk factor in the induction of AMI is a behavior pattern factor. Based on the study, type a behavior runs a higher risk for developing cardiac disease than type B behavior. Approximately 37-45% of the cases, myocard ischemia triggered by unresolved psychosocial stressors could lead to AMI. The purpose of this study was to find out the correlation between the severity degree of AMI and psychosocial stressors with depression disorders in post AMI patients who were identified to have type a behavior.Method: This study was cross-sectional involving 136 respondents aged 25 to 60 years who presented to the cardiac poly of Rumah Sakit Jantung dan Pembuluh Darah Harapan Kita Jakarta. The respondents fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The instruments employed were VCE of type a behavior SCID and psychosocial stressor questionnaire from Irwin C. Samson.Result: Out of 136 respondents, 57.4% of them had depression. The biggest proportion of depression disorder was found in severe and very severe myocard infarct respondents (69%). In the respondents, association between the severity degree of AMI and depression disorder was found; there was association between psychosocial stressors and depression disorder (p <0.081). The result of the Logistic regression revealed that severe and very severe AMI was the most dominant factor in increasing the risk for developing disorder in the respondents (odds ratio 4.6). Whereas psychosocial stressors had the odds ratio 1.4.Conclusion: The severity of AMI and psychosocial stressors are the two factors that have a role in increasing the risk for developing depression disorder in AMI patients with type A behavior."
