Assessment of Depression and Anxiety in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients attending Pulmonary Medicine Department of Rohilkhand Medical College Hospital, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, India

International Journal of Advanced and Integrated Medical Sciences

Introduction Chronic disease like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with various comorbidities. Anxiety and depression are among the common comorbidities and have significant impact on socioeconomic status of the person as well as the course of disease. In our study, we screened COPD patients attending the outpatient department (OPD) of pulmonary medicine for anxiety and depression, using different scales that include questionnaires. About 46.2 and 34.6% cases were found to have depression and anxiety respectively, among all COPD patients (n = 156). Incidence of anxiety and depression was directly proportional to severity of disease. Age, gender, locality, educational, marital, and socioeconomic statuses are some factors that play important roles in the development of these psychiatric comorbidities. Hence, mental assessment of COPD patients should be mandatory with every visit to the OPD. How to cite this article Jaiswal A, Kumar A, Rathi H, Sharma CS, Shar...

Anxiety and depression among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and general population in rural Nepal

BMC Psychiatry, 2017

Background: Anxiety and depression are usually under diagnosed among the patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), which has a negative impact on patient quality of life through restriction of activities, loss of independence, and decreased social functioning. The purpose of this study was to describe the levels and characteristics of anxiety and depression in patients with COPD in Nepal as compared to the general population. Methods: A hospital-based observational comparative analytical study was conducted in the United Mission Hospital, Tansen and the Okhaldhunga Community Hospital, Okhaldhunga, Nepal from June 1st 2015 to April 15th 2016. A convenience sample of two groups of participants were recruited: patients with COPD (study group) and visitors to the facility (comparison group). Anxiety and depression were measured with the Beck Anxiety and Depression Inventory Scale. Results: A total of 198 individuals participated in the study; 93 with COPD and 105 from the general population. The mean age of the respondents was 58.24 ± 12.04 (40-82) years. The mean scores for anxiety and depression in COPD group were 23.76± 9.51 and 27.72± 9.37 respectively, while in comparison group, the mean score for anxiety was 8.01± 6.83 and depression was 11.60 ± 8.42. Both anxiety and depression scores were statistically significant between the groups with p value <0.001. Conclusions: Anxiety and depression were almost three times more common in COPD patients compared to the participants from the general population. Early assessment and multi-model treatment of anxiety and depression should be part of management in COPD.

Prevalence of Anxiety and Depression in Copd Patients and Its Correlation with Age, Gender, Disease Severity and Health Related Quality of Life

International journal of scientific research, 2019

Background: The aim of the study was to find the prevalence of anxiety and depression in COPD patients as undiagnosed cases may have an negative impact on the overall health status and find its correlation with factors like age, gender, disease severity and health related Quality of Life (QOL). Method: 226 subjects enrolled in this study. Basic demographic details were gathered. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to assess anxiety and depression. QOL was assessed using St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). Result: Prevalence of anxiety and depression in COPD subjects in the study was 35.4% and 52.7% as per HADS questionnaire. Age and SGRQ score showed a significant positive correlation whereas disease severity showed a significant negative correlation with anxiety and depression. Association of the anxiety and depression with gender showed anxiety to be statistically significant in males and females. Conclusion: Higher rates of depression and anxiety symptoms are seen in patients with COPD even in earlier stages of the disease.

Testing of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

International Journal of Nursing Knowledge, 2015

The aim of this study was to develop the Arabic version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (A-HADS) and test its psychometric proprieties for the assessment of anxiety and depression in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHOD: The A-HADS and Quality of Life Index Pulmonary version were completed by 67 Jordanian patients with COPD. RESULTS: Cronbach's alpha coefficient has been found to be 0.75 for the A-HADS anxiety subscale and 0.82 for the A-HADS depression subscale. A-HADS scores correlated significantly with the Quality of Life Index Pulmonary version and demonstrated construct validity. IMPLICATIONS: This preliminary validation study supports the A-HADS as a reliable and valid instrument for the assessment of anxiety and depression in Arabic speaking patients with COPD. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is expected to be the third leading cause of death in middleincome countries by 2030 (Russell, Anzueto, & Weisman, 2011). The negative impact of COPD can be further complicated by the presence of psychological comorbidity in patients with COPD. It is well established that anxiety and depression are the most common psychological disorders of patients with COPD (

A literature review on depression and its risk factors among people suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Asian sub-continent

International Journal Of Community Medicine And Public Health, 2020

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is defined as persistent airflow limitation that is usually progressive and associated with an enhanced chronic inflammatory response in the airways and the lung to noxious particles or gases. It has been suggested that emotional disturbances such as depression and anxiety are common among patients with COPD. This review aims to highlight the presence of depression and associated risk factors among patients suffering from COPD in Asia. Fifty-eight observational studies were retrieved through data sources like PubMed, Medical subject heading (MeSH) search and Google scholar. After thorough screening total thirteen studies were identified and included in this review. Based on the results of these studies, the south and west Asian countries had higher proportion of depression. However, risk factor results were mixed which includes severity of obstruction/global initiative for obstructive lung disease (GOLD) criteria, Stage 2 COPD, teetotalle...

Prevalence of depression and anxiety in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and their association with psychosocial outcomes: A cross-sectional study from Pakistan

SAGE Open Medicine

Objectives: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease contributes to substantial health and economic burden worldwide. Co-morbid depression and anxiety are highly prevalent in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Depressive symptoms in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are associated with poorer survival, longer hospitalisation and impaired quality of life. Literature on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is largely derived from high-income countries; yet 90% of deaths related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease occur in low- and middle-income countries. We aimed to establish the prevalence of anxiety and depression in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, as well as the association with psychosocial outcomes. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients attending outpatient primary care clinics in Karachi, Pakistan. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 was used to assess depression and the Generalis...

Factors affecting health status in COPD patients with co-morbid anxiety or depression

International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 2007

Health status questionnaires provide standardized measures of patients' perceptions of the impact of disease on their daily life and well-being. Factors associated with health status were examined in a sample of 58 outpatients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and co-morbid anxiety and/or depression. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with the following measures: The St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ); the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI); the Beck Depression Inventory, 2nd edition (BDI); the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI); and spirometry. Disease severity as measured with spirometrywas not related to health status. Perceptions of poor health as implied by the health status scores were positively associated with symptoms of anxiety and depression, sleep disturbances, and level of daily functioning. There were statistically significant differences between men and women on COPD severity, age, and the BAI scores. The findings emphasi...
