“…Binary logistic regression identified the following risk factors: being accompanied by a nursing assistant (OR = 9.009, P < 0.001), longer cardiopulmonary bypass duration (OR = 1.005, P < 0.05), delayed first postoperative ambulation (OR = 4.031, P < 0.05), Type D personality (OR = 2.582, P < 0.01), heightened safety concerns (OR = 8.270, P < 0.05), and pain catastrophizing (OR = 4.253, P < 0.001). Conversely, family function and exercise self-efficacy mitigated kinesiophobia (P < 0.05).ConclusionsKinesiophobia is highly prevalent and multifactorial in post-cardiopulmonary bypass patients. …”
