Analysis of anxiety and depression in asthma outpatients
Objective To investigate the relation between disease control degree in patients with stable phase asthma and anxiety and/or depression
for developing a targeted psychological intervention therapy and supporting asthma control. Methods Asthma patients in chronic phase who were regularly followed up in our hospital from Dec 2010 to Apr 2011 were enrolled in Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) test and Asthma Control Test (ACT) at the same time. Results A total of 103 patients completed the evaluation. There were 40.8% (42/103) of patients with anxiety and/or depression
and these negative emotions were not related to sex or the course of disease (P0.05). Uncontrolled asthma patients accounted for 56.3% (58/103)
of which 58.6% (34/58) generally had anxiety and/or depression. Partial and complete controlled asthma patients accounted for 43.7% (45/103)
of which only 17.8% (8/45) were combined with anxiety and/or depression. There was significant difference in patients with anxiety and/or depression between controlled and uncontrolled asthma patients. Conclusion Asthma patients in stable phase generally have anxiety and/or depression. These negative emotions are closely related to different degrees of asthma control.
