Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study assessed the effects of autogenic training (AT) for community cardiac patients. Sixteen cardiac patients performed AT in cardiac rehabilitation. Type D (distressed personality type) was assessed using Type-D Scale 14(DS14) Japanese version at before and after the six-month cardiac rehabilitation. We found significantly decrease the score of negative affectivity in the Type D group (n=6) after 6 months than before the cardiac rehabilitation, although the score of negative affectivity in the non-Type D group (n=10) did not change significantly. This study suggested that AT improved Type D personality in cardiac patients.
