In hospitalized COPD patients, stress levels are significantly predicted by health-related quality of life factors (pain, dyspnea, disease impact) and social support.
Medinas-Amorós et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) (n=80). Health-related quality of life and social support was evaluated on Stress level during hospitalization (Hospital Stress Rating Scale) (R2 0.552, p=<0.001). In hospitalized patients with COPD, health-related quality of life and social support significantly predicted stress levels during hospitalization, explaining 55.2% of the variance.
