Study Notes
Health Psychology - Chapter 6
- Coronary Heart Disease (CHD): A general term for illnesses caused by atherosclerosis, the narrowing of coronary arteries. This reduces blood flow to the heart.
- Atherosclerosis: The narrowing of the coronary arteries, reducing oxygen and nourishment to the heart. Can lead to angina pectoris (chest pain), and myocardial infarction (heart attack).
- CHD Risk Factors: Cigarette smoking, obesity, high cholesterol, low levels of physical activity, chronic stress, and hostility. CHD is the leading cause of death in the US.
- Stress and CHD: Excessive stress reactivity contributes to CHD. Stress can exacerbate physical symptoms and increase stress-related cardiovascular responses.
- Cardiac Rehabilitation: Helps CHD patients improve their physical, medical, psychological, and social well-being. Programs include education, drug therapy, nutritional counseling, supervised exercise, and counseling.
- Cancer: A set of over 100 diseases stemming from dysfunctional DNA causing rapid cell growth. Risk factors include psychosocial factors like depression, avoidance coping, chemotherapy, and social network strain.
- AIDS: Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome is caused by the HIV virus. High-risk groups include gay men, intravenous drug users (IVDUs), and more recently, minority women and heterosexually active adolescents/young adults.
- Diabetes (Type I): An autoimmune disorder characterized by the lack of insulin production. Symptoms include frequent urination, thirst, fatigue etc. Stress can precipitate type I diabetes.
- Obesity: Excessive accumulation of body fat; constitutes 20-27% of body tissue in women and 15-22% in men. Linked to various health problems (e.g., cardiovascular disease, kidney disease).
- Eating Disorders (e.g., Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia): Characterized by abnormal eating habits (self-starvation, binge eating, compensatory purging). Obesity and eating disorders utilize CBT and medication for treatment.
- Alcoholism: Tied to sociodemographic factors and genetic components. Stress can precipitate drinking, and people often peak in alcohol consumption between the ages of 18 and 25.
- Smoking: Significant cause of death linked to heart disease, cancer, and lung disorders. Nicotine is a neuroregulator and an addictive substance. Relapse prevention interventions are important.
- Arthritis: A set of diseases where the body mistakenly attacks its own tissues. A prevalent autoimmune disorder; various types exist, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Treatment and Prevention
- Stress Management: Interventions are helpful for reducing stress and its effects, such as relaxation training and coping skills training.
- Mindfulness interventions: Helpful to people with RA
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Used in the management of various conditions e.g., obesity, eating disorders, smoking cessation. Helps modify destructive patterns of thinking and behavior.
- Drug Therapies: Along with behavioral interventions to control pain symptoms (in RA)
