Abstract:
Objective To investigate the nutrition status, sleep quality, anxiety and depression in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), and to analyze the relationships between them. Method Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), mini nutritional assessment (MNA) and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) were used to assess anxiety and depression, nutrition status and sleep quality in 118 CHF patients who were selected by convenience sanpling respectively. Results The score of anxiety of the patients was with a median of 5 (3, 8) and the score of depression was with a median of 5 (2, 8). Anxiety was present in 47 cases (39.8％). Depression was present in 48 cases (40.7％).MNA score was with an average of 21.5 ±3.5, 19 patients (16.1％) were malnourished, 59 patients (50.0％) were at risk of malnutrition and 40 (33.9％)well nourished. The MNA scores of patients with anxiety or depression were significantly lower than those with no anxiety or depression (P<0.001). The PSQI score in 118 patients was 6(4, 10), where 42(35.6％) were with sleep disorder and patients with depression and anxiety were higher than those without (P<0.01). The MNA score was negatively correlated with anxiety and depression (all P<0.001). The PSQI score was positively related with anxiety and depression (all P<0.01). Conclusions The prevalence of anxiety and depression was high in CHF patients. Both nutrition status and sleep quality were related to them. In the clinic work, medical workers should pay attention to the treatment of heart failure and the assessment of psychological status in heart failure patients with malnutrition or sleep disorders.
