Full Abstract

167 patients with aortocoronary bypass were treated in the sanatorium ("Arkhangelskoye") and then for a year were treated outpatiently. Of them, 127 patients have additionally undergone training according to the program of medical and psychological rehabilitation. 40 control patients have not been trained. Learning went on at the sanatorium in different groups of psychotherapy. It is shown that the above psychotherapy raises motivation to patient's compliance, psychoregulation and self-control. This improves quality of life and encourages patients to resume jobs.
