Few studies have investigated the change in mood states, such as anger, fatigue and confusion, after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABGS). The aim of this study was to describe the progression of these mood states over time and to determine the factors associated with these trajectories. The Profile of Mood States (POMS) was administered to 182 CABGS patients prior to surgery and at two and six months post-operatively. Socio-demographic and medical data were collected before surgery. Growth curve modelling was used to describe the POMS subscale trajectories. Four POMS subscales (tension-anxiety, fatigue-inertia, confusion-bewilderment, and vigour-activity) showed rapid improvement over the first two months after CABGS followed by a lesser improvement. There was no significant change over time for the depression-dejection and anger-hostility subscales. Being younger, male, having a manual occupation, and smoking were factors associated with poorer pre-operative mood states. Those at risk of persistent mood disturbance after CABGS were younger, unpartnered, female and those with diabetes. These patients can be identified prior to hospital admission.

Psychological distress is common in patients with diabetes. Little is known about the impact of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), a non-traditional, cognitive behavioural intervention designed to improve stress management skills, in patients with diabetes. The purpose of this retrospective analysis was to evaluate the impact of MBSR training on mood states in 25 individuals with diabetes. All participants completed the Profile of Mood States Short Form (POMS-SF) at baseline and following eight weeks of MBSR. Overall psychological distress measured by the total mood score (TMS) and six subscales - including tension/anxiety, depression/dejection, anger/hostility, fatigue/inertia, confusion/bewilderment and vigour/activity - were assessed. Overall mood, measured by the TMS, as well as all subscale mood measurements improved significantly from baseline following MBSR training. Compared to population means, those with diabetes had higher distress at baseline and similar levels of distress following MBSR training. The primary reason participants reported for enrolling in the MBSR course was to improve stress management skills. It was concluded that MBSR training is a promising, group-based intervention that can be used to decrease psychological distress in individuals with diabetes who perceive a need for training in stress management.
