Abstract
Amaç: Bu tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel çalışma, kalp yetersizliği (KY) hastalarında ölüm kaygısının belirlenmesi amacıyla yapıldı.Yöntemler: Araştırma, İstanbul’da bulunan iki eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinin kardiyoloji servislerinde Aralık 2018 -Mayıs 2019 tarihleri arasında yatan 150 KY hastası ile yapıldı. Araştırma verilerinin elde edilmesinde “Anket Formu” ve“Thorson – Powel Ölüm Kaygısı Ölçeği” kullanıldı. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, independentsample t testi ve One-way ANOVA testi kullanıldı.Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 66.53±9.07 olup %55.3’ü erkektir. Hastaların %38’inde diyabet, %78.3’ünde hipertansiyonvardır. Hastaların %34’ü NYHA evre 2 KY hastasıdır. Çalışmaya katılan hastaların Thorson-Powel Ölüm KaygısıÖlçeğinden aldığı puan ortalaması 56.80±16.55 olarak bulundu. 65 yaşın altındaki hastalarda, kadınlarda, lise mezunlarında,bekarlarda, geliri giderinden az olanlarda ölüm kaygısı yüksek ancak istatstiksel olarak anlamlı değildir (p>0.05).NYHA sınıflamasına göre evre 4’teki KY hastalarında, çalışmayan hastalarda ve ölümü endişe uyandıran bir kavram olarakgören hastalarda ölüm kaygısı daha yüksek olup istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır (p<0.05).Sonuç: Çalışmaya katılan hastalar ölüm kaygısını orta düzeyde yaşamaktadırlar. NYHA sınıflaması evre 4’ teki hastalarda,çalışmayanlarda, ölümü endişe uyandıran bir kavram olarak gören hastalarda ölüm kaygısı artmaktadır.
