Abstract
PURPOSE: To determine whether adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) are better adjusted than adults with acquired heart disease (AHD). METHODS: Twenty-five adults with CHD completed the Patient Adjustment to Illness Self Report (PAIS-SR). RESULTS: CHD patients had good adjustment for Heath Care Orientation and Family Relations, but poorer adjustment for Vocational, Social and Domestic Environment, Sexual Relations, and Psychological Distress. CONCLUSIONS: The needs of CHD patients are not being met.
