Sažetak
Testing our patients depressive behaviour we studied the results of early physical and psychological rehabilitation in 20 patients. They were selected by age, sex and qualification. Early mobilisation of our patients resultst in good physical activity. Nowever, for all our enthusiasm, psychological rehabilitation is not yet satisfying. In our patients both optimism and anxiety are reduced, but depression, agression and denial increase. Psychotherapeutic treatment is needed for early psychological rehabilitation. It is ideal in the early rehabilitation phase if it is followed first by the outpatient care rehabilitation, then by the maintenance phase to the final back-to-work phase. This would lead us to better results and shorter period of rehabilitation. A small group consisting of a cardiologist, nurse, psychotherapist, physical therapist and a social worker is able to cope perfectly well with the complete program of all rehabilitation processes.
