- Abstract
Background: The main factor contributing to coronary heart disease (CHD), the world's biggest killer, is the buildup of plaque in the arteries that provide oxygen to the heart muscle. CHD continues to be a serious health issue with socioeconomic effects because it causes a decline in physical and psychological functioning that lowers quality of life. Depression has been linked to a poorer quality of life, influencing social, psychological, and physical elements as well as morbidity and death rates in the medical field. Depressive symptoms have been linked closely to health status, symptom severity, physical restrictions, and general quality of life in CHD patients. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the depressive syndrome, demographic features, and quality of life of CHD patients.
Method: This study used a cross-sectional and correlational analytical technique. Consecutive sampling, a non-probability sampling technique, was used to gather the samples. The Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire, a standardized tool used to assess quality of life in individuals with chronic conditions, was used to measure quality of life. The evaluation tool was split into two categories: general (generic scale) and specific (specific scale), each of which was used to measure certain features of the disease, a specific demographic, or a function like emotions.
Result: The median age of the participants was 49 (30-55), with 79 subjects (65.8%) being male. The median duration of disease was 3 (1-9), 92 subjects (76.7%) were married, and 36 subjects (29.8%) had an educational level of primary school. Furthermore, the median income and quality of life were 3 (1-8) and 70 (40-85), respectively. There was a significant correlation between age and income with SF-36 among CHD patients (p=<0.001, r=0.318 and p=0.021, r=-0.324). The variables of gender, marital status, and educational level also showed significant associations with SF-36, and r values of 0.038, 0.664, and 0.118, respectively.
Conclusion: This study showed a close correlation between quality of life and CHD patients.
