Abstract
Objective: To assess prevalence of depression and its relationship with physical activity among individuals who have experienced a cardiac event.
Methods: This descriptive study involved 196 cardiac patients receiving treatment at selected cardiac hospitals of Punjab (India). Subjects were chosen using purposive sampling technique. After getting informed written consents from the participants the data was collected using International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II).
Results: The results showed that majority (62.2%) of the cardiac patients had moderate clinical depression and 11.2% of patients had severe depression. 86.7% of the patients had low level of physical activity (<600 MET min/week). There was also a significant negative correlation between the depression and physical activity depicting the higher the physical activity, lower was the depression score and vice-versa (p<0.05). Moreover, study results revealed that physical activity was significantly associated with age and educational status; whereas, depression was not associated with selected demographic variables.
Conclusion: The current investigation has brought to light that a vast majority of individuals suffering from cardiac issues exhibited signs of moderate to severe depressive symptoms. Additionally, the findings indicate an inverse relationship between depression and physical activity. Consequently, it is crucial for nurses to concentrate on identifying early indicators of depression and physical inactivity so that individualized care plans can be developed to enhance the overall health of cardiac patients.
客观的评估经历过心脏事件的个体中抑郁症的患病率及其与体育活动的关系。方法。这项描述性研究涉及196名在旁遮普邦(印度)选定的心脏病医院接受治疗的心脏病患者。受试者采用目的性抽样技术进行选择。在获得参与者的书面同意后,使用国际体力活动问卷(IPAQ)和贝克抑郁量表II(BDI-II)收集数据。后果结果显示,大多数(62.2%)心脏病患者有中度临床抑郁症,11.2%的患者有重度抑郁症。86.7%的患者体力活动水平较低(<600 MET min/周)。抑郁与体力活动之间也存在显著的负相关,体力活动越高,抑郁得分越低,反之亦然(p<0.05)。此外,研究结果表明,体力活动与年龄和教育状况显著相关;而抑郁症与选定的人口统计学变量无关。结论目前的调查表明,绝大多数心脏病患者都表现出中度至重度抑郁症状。此外,研究结果表明,抑郁症和体育活动之间存在相反的关系。因此,护士必须集中精力识别抑郁症和身体不活动的早期指标,以便制定个性化的护理计划,以增强心脏病患者的整体健康。
期刊介绍:
The mission of the journal of Nursing and Education is to present scientific and technical information about health, illnesses and related topics. The journal serves as the conduit [medium] through which the experiences of our own nursing and social science departments can be shared within Columbia and internationally. It is written primarily for nurses, general health practitioners and other related disciplines but can also be used by students and researchers.
