The experimental control and examination of the effect of coping style, patient education through sensory/procedural information, and initial patient experience undergoing angiography on stress and self-efficacy contributed to methodological considerations for empirical work in this area. Sixty male and female patients were stratified into two coping style groups (repressors and sensitizers), and randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: cognitive-behavioral, attention placebo, and hospital conditions control. Several dependent measures were employed and clustered into variables groups. A repeated measures multivariate (Finn, 1971) and univariate (SAS) analyses were employed for this design with equal cell frequencies to test the effects of the various treatment modes, coping style, and time. Results failed to support the efficacy of brief skills training for the attenuation of stress of angiogram patients. However, research findings supported the expectation tht sensitizer patients would evidence higher levels of stress and observed maladjustment when compared to repressor patients, and sensitizers in the cognitive-behavioral group would also give higher ratings of credibility of treatment for improvement. Discussion addresses interpretations and methodological constraints possibly accounting for ineffectiveness of intervention in promoting behavioral adjustment, decreased stress levels, and alterations in cognitive patterns related to patients' experience of angiography.
