The effect of persistent anxiety and depressive symptoms on quality of life among patients with heart failure

Depression and anxiety in patients with heart failure: contributing factors, consequences and coping mechanisms: a review of the literature

“…Another study conducted by Aggelopoulou et al (2017) found that factors associated with high levels of anxiety and depression were older age, hospitalizations more than four times, low level of education, unemployment and poor economic situation (Aggelopoulou et al , 2017). These findings were congruent with the results of more recent studies conducted by Alemoush et al (2021), AbuRuz (2018), Zahid et al (2018) and Edmealem and Olis, 2020) (Alemoush et al , 2021; AbuRuz, 2018; Zahid et al , 2018; Edmealem and Olis, 2020).…”

“…These findings were congruent with the results of a more recent study conducted by Thyagaturu et al (2021), which revealed that depression is a similar risk factor for 30-day readmissions in HF with preserved ejection fraction and HF with reduced ejection fraction (Thyagaturu et al , 2021). Furthermore, previous studies found that depression and anxiety are associated with poor QoL, as revealed by Alemoush et al (2021) who conducted a recent prospective observational study on 127 Jordanian patients with HF and found that persistent anxiety and depressive symptoms were associated with poor QoL in patients with HF (Alemoush et al , 2021). Previous studies indicated that depression and anxiety in patients with HF have been associated with poor self-care maintenance, self-care management and confidence (Mueller-Tasch et al , 2018; Biddle et al ,2020; Chang et al , 2017; Tovar et al , 2015; Chuang et al , 2019; Freedland et al , 2021; Liljeroos et al , 2020; Tegegn et al , 2021; Jaafar et al ,2019).…”

“…It was apparent through a review of the literature that depression and anxiety had a devastating impact on patients with HF (Alemoush et al , 2021; Mueller-Tasch et al ,2018; Gathright et al , 2017; Sokoreli et al , 2018; Xu et al , 2018). Previous studies showed that depression is considered a risk factor for rehospitalization in patients with HF (Patel et al , 2020; Freedland et al ,2016; Ma, 2019; Alhurani et al , 2015; Ahmedani et al , 2015).…”

“…In patients with heart failure (HF), depression and anxiety are common due to physical distress, which causes difficulties and decreased abilities in performing daily activities with prevalence rates 4–5 times more than in the general population (Alemoush et al , 2021; Alaloul et al ,2017; Isaksen et al , 2016; Uchmanowicz and Gobbens, 2015). Previous studies showed that anxiety and depression had a negative impact including poor quality of life (QoL), insufficient self-care behaviors (SCBs), increase hospitalizations and mortality rates in patients with HF (Aggelopoulou et al , 2017; AbuRuz, 2018; Mueller-Tasch et al , 2018).…”

Associação entre resiliência, sintomas depressivos e qualidade de vida de pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca crônica

“…A associação entre síndrome depressiva e IC tem se tornado um achado crescente e comum na literatura, com relevância devido à sua relação com a piora clínica, o aumento da taxa de hospitalizações e a mortalidade desses pacientes [13][14][15] . Chega a ser até cinco vezes maior do que na população geral e representa um preditor importante na QV dos pacientes com IC 16 .…”
