Publication: Correlation of Cardiovascular Limitations and Symptoms Profile with the Quality of Life, Anxiety and Depression Scales
Abstract
AMAÇ: Çalı?mamızın amacı, akut koroner sendromlar sonrası hastaların kısıtlılık ve semptomları ile ya?am kalitesi, anksiyete ve depresyon düzeyleri arasında ili?ki olup olmadığını belirlemektir.YÖNTEM: Ara?tırmanın evrenini, Kahmanmara? Devlet Hastanesi kardiyoloji kliniğine ba?vurarak tedavi gören akut koroner sendrom geçirmi? 245 hasta olu?turdu. Veriler Kardiyovasküler Kısıtlılık ve Semptomlar Profili, Ya?am Kalitesi, Anksiyete ve Depresyon Ölçekleri ile toplandı. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde, yüzdeler, ortalamalar, Pearson ve Spearman korelasyon analizleri kullanıldı. BULGULAR: Hastaların ya? ortalamasının 60.58±11.81 yıl, ço- ğunluğunun erkek (%68.6) ve %56.3'ünün akut miyokart infarktüsü geçirdiği belirlendi. Hastaların; fiziksel ve sosyal fonksiyonda (16.64±4.46) orta düzeyde, kadınlara özgü ev içi faaliyetlerinde (3.05±1.41) ve erkeklere özgü ev içi faaliyetlerinde (3.23±1.40) hafif düzeyde kısıtlılık ya?adıkları, kaygı düzeylerinin orta derecede oldu- ğu (8.65±2.63) belirlendi. Kısıtlılık ve semptomlar ile ya?am kalitesi, anksiyete ve depresyon parametreleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı korelasyonlar bulundu. SONUÇ: Akut koroner sendromlar sonrası hastaların ya?adıkları kısıtlılık ve semptomlar, ya?am kalitesi, anksiyete ve depresyon dü- zeyleri üzerine etkilidir.
AIM: The aim of our study was to determine the relationship between patients’ limitations and symptoms after acute coronary syndromes and quality of life, anxiety and depression levels.METHODS: The universe of the research consisted of 245 patients who applied to the cardiology clinic of Kahramanmaraș State Hospital and who received treatment. Data were collected by using the Cardiovascular Limitations and Symptoms ProŞ le, and the Quality of Life, Anxiety and Depression Scales. Percentage, mean, Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses were used during data assessment.RESULTS: The mean of the patients’ age was 60.58±11.81 years, 68.6% of the patients were male, and 56.3% had experienced acute myocardial infarction. The patients experienced moderate level of limitations in physical and social functions (16.64±4.46), minor level of limitations in activities within the home (women: 3.05±1.41; men: 3.23±1.40), and moderate level of concerns (8.65±2.63). Statistically signiŞ cant correlations were found between limitations and symptoms, and the parameters of quality of life, anxiety and depression.CONCLUSION: The limitations and symptoms of the patients experienced after acute coronary syndromes are affective on quality of life, anxiety and depression
