Key result
Family fitness was negatively correlated with depression levels among COPD inpatients, with 69.66% exhibiting depression symptoms and 34.87% experiencing medium-to-severe family unfitness.

In COPD inpatients, depression is highly prevalent and negatively correlates with family fitness, suggesting family involvement may improve patient condition.

Depression symptoms in COPD inpatients associate with family unfitness; hypothesis-generating for support interventions, needs prospective trials before practice change.
To explore the relationship between depression and family fitness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) inpatients.COPD inpatients (280) in our hospital from Jan to June 2016 were included. Depression level and family fitness were quantified with self-rating depression scale (SDS) and Adaptability, Partnership, Growth, Affection, and Resolve (APGAR) test. The relationship and correlation of SDS value and APGAR score was analyzed.Family fitness for all COPD inpatients was grossly well, among which 93 patients (34.87%) experienced medium-to-severe family unfitness. Further analysis shows that better fitness correlated with less depression and worse fitness correlated with more depression. Depression levels were significantly different in patients under family fitness. Inpatients were grossly in light depression, among which 186 (69.66%) patients exhibited depression symptoms. Family fitness was significantly different among patients with different levels of depression. Correlation analysis showed that depression level was negatively correlated with family fitness.Depression in patients is significantly correlated with family fitness. The condition of patients can be improved by active family fitness and patients' interactions with family members. Thus involvement of family member during admitting should be encouraged.

Deng et al. (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (n=280). Family fitness was evaluated on Correlation between depression level (SDS) and family fitness (APGAR). Family fitness was negatively correlated with depression levels among COPD inpatients, with 69.66% exhibiting depression symptoms and 34.87% experiencing medium-to-severe family unfitness.
