Determinants of life satisfaction in adolescents with congenital or acquired heart disease: a nationwide cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aimed to investigate how self-reported physical and cognitive limitations (challenges), self-efficacy, and social support interacted with life satisfaction in adolescents and young adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) or acquired heart disease, among whom life satisfaction may be impaired.

Methods

"Adolescence with Heart Disease" was a cross-sectional, nationwide survey of patients with CHD or early acquired heart disease aged 15-25. Structural equation modeling was used to test the implied latent variable mediation model between the main outcome of interest (life satisfaction) and challenges, social support, and self-efficacy. The correlation factors between life satisfaction and the latent variables with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated.
