What is the prevalence of depression and anxiety among patients with cardiovascular disease?
There is a high prevalence of depression and anxiety among cardiovascular patients in Ethiopia, particularly among women and older adults, highlighting the need for routine psychosocial screening.
May support psychosocial screening in CVD inpatients; leaves open causality and needs prospective confirmation before practice change.
Psychosocial issues are leading factor as well as consequences of cardiovascular disease. Identifying factors associated with depression facilitate service quality improvement for inpatients. This study assessed the prevalence and identified associated factors with depression and anxiety among patients with cardio vascular disease. Method: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted with a convenience sample of 370 stable adult patients from June 1 to July 30, 2020 among cardiovascular disease patients at the University of Gondar Specialized Hospital Ethiopia. Data were collected by using structured questionnaires. Data analyses were conducted using SPSS version 21. The statistical significance declared at p-value <0.05. Result: In this study, among 370 Cardiovascular diseases patients, 228 (61.6 %) suffer from anxiety, and 53.51 % (198) suffer with depression. There was a significant mean difference in the level of depression and anxiety between male and female Cardiovascular diseases patients. The females' scores of depression (mean = 28, p < 0.01) and anxiety (mean = 25.3, p < 0.01) were more than that of males 'scores of depression (mean = 15.1, p < 0.01) and anxiety (mean = 12.3, p < 0.01). Cardiovascular diseases patients aged greater than 60 years have the highest rate of prevalence of depression in all age group. Being in the age category of greater than 60 years was 1.16 (0.57-2.32) times more likely to have depression than the age category of 18-24 years. Depression and anxiety were significantly associated with being woman, widowed, being single, unable to read and write, and possess mental disorders history.
