Abstract: Objective: To investigate the associated factors of Kinetophobia in patients with Angina Pectoris and Coronary Heart Disease, therefore to provide references for developing tailored intervention strategies for targeted patients. Methods: Following convenient sampling, between September 2020 and April 2021, eligible patients with Coronary Heart Disease and Angina Pectoris from the North China University of science and technology affiliated hospital were recruited for the study. The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia Heart was used to screen patients with Kinetophobia. A total of 299 patients were enrolled in the study, among whom 141 patients were identified with Kinesiophobia, and 158 patients were with simple Coronary Heart Disease angina pectoris without Kinetophobia. We used chi-square and binary Logist regression analysis to identify the associated factors for Kinetophobia in this sample. Results: Logistic regression analysis showed that fatigue, self-perceived burden, female gender, and frequency of angina pectoris were risk factors of Kinetophobia, while the recognition of exercise benefits was demonstrated as a protective factor for Kinetophobia (P<0.05). Conclusion: Patients with Coronary Heart Disease and Angina Pectoris have a high incidence of Kinetophobia, healthcare providers should pay more attention to this group and take actions to intervene and promote effective rehabilitation.
