Abstract:
Objective To explore the anxiety and depression in caregivers of patients in persist vegetative state and minimally conscious state, and discuss the related factors. Methods From January, 2010 to December, 2014, 60 caregivers of 60 patients in persist vegetative state and minimally conscious state were assessed with Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). The sex, ed-ucation level, relation to the patients and family income of the caregivers, and the age of the patients and number of the families of the pa-tients were recorded, and analyzed with Logistic regression. Results 55％caregivers were found in anxiety, and 48.4％in depression. The fe-male caregivers (OR>6.870, P<0.05), the number of the family of the patients (OR<0.233, P<0.05) and age of the patients (OR<0.294, P<0.05) were independent factors associated with anxiety and depression. Conclusion The caregivers of patients in persist vegetative state and minimally conscious state are troubled in anxiety and depression, especially the female, while age and the number of the families of patient may be important factors for it.
