To assess the frequency of anxiety-depression
among COPD patients with frequent emergency
room admission who has home oxygen therapy.
COPD patients with frequent admissions to
emergency room in the 01 January- 31 March
period and had oxygen therapy at home were
assessed. A questionnaire examining their sociodemographic
characteristics and psychological
state was given to the patients in addition to
their routine therapy. Also their admissions and
hospitalizations were noted in January-March
period. Anxiety-depression levels were assessed
in accordance with hospital anxiety-depression
scale. How psychological state is affected by the
disease and sociodemographic data were
investigated.
Seven (17.5%) of total 40 COPD patients were
female and 33 (82.5%) were male. Their mean
age were 61.73±9.13 (40-77). Mean anxiety value
was 14.27±4.16 (3-21) and mean depression value was 13.67±4.28 (4-20). There was no
correlation between anxiety-depression level
and age, sex, education, marital status, location
and income level (p>0.05). The patients who
were looked after by their mate or children had
lower depression levels (p<0.001).Frequent
emergency room admission and long
hospitalization durations were two factors
affecting psychological status in a negative
manner. (p<0.05)
Frequent hospital admission, long hospitalization
durations and parental neglect affected
psychological status of COPD patients who had
oxygen therapy at home.
