DESCRIPTION

This slides describe 5 studies which take a psychosocial perspective on individuals with coronary heart disease (CHD). The first was a validation study, concerned with necessary preparatory work, which used multiple sources of evidence to validate the Indonesian version of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (Indo BDI-II). The second study investigated associations between psychosocial risk factors of CHD, the third study investigated how spirituality is related to negative emotions. The fourth study explored the mechanism of attentional bias and anxiety. The fifth study was an intervention study which tested the effect of viewing a video on changing maladaptive beliefs about the disease, and reducing anxiety and depression.

A letter from Pramoedya Ananta Toer

“Saya sudah memberikan semuanya kepada Indonesia. Umur, kesehatan, masa muda sampai setua ini. Sekarang saya tidak bisa menulis-baca lagi. Dalam hitungan hari, minggu, atau bulan mungkin saya akan mati, karena penyempitan pembuluh darahjantung. Basa-basi tak lagi bisa menghibur saya.”

“I have given everything to Indonesia. Age, health, youth until this old age. Now,

I can not write-read any more. In a matter of days, weeks, or months perhaps I will die,

because the narrowing of coronary arteries. Pleasantries can no longer comfort me.”
