Cognitive coping and goal adjustment in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease: Relationships with depressive symptoms
Patient Education and Counselling, 06/23/09

Garnefski N et al. - These findings suggest that improvements in cognitive and goal-related coping strategies might reduce the level or risk of depressive symptomatology. This confirms the need for specific intervention programs that bring about effective changes in the coping strategies of people suffering from PAD. As both cognitive and goal-related coping are generally assumed to be mechanisms that are subject to potential influence and change, the results of this study provide important targets for such an intervention.
