PULIDO-MONTES, María Andreina e BUENO-ROBLES, Luz Stella. Quality of life related to health, anxiety and depression in people with cardioverter defibrillators. Univ. Salud [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.2, pp.109-119. Epub 01-Maio-2021. ISSN 0124-7107. https://doi.org/10.22267/rus.212302.222.
Introduction:
Cardiovascular diseases have caused a rise in arrhythmias, increasing the use caridoverter defibrillators. Although, these devices prevent arrhythmias, they may also affect the quality of life.
Objective:
To describe the association between quality of life and health, anxiety and depression in people who use cardioverter defibrillators.
Materials and methods:
A qualitative, descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study was carried out with 85 patients using implantable cardioverter defibrillator. Sociodemographic records, the Health Questionnaire (SF-36), and the Beck Anxiety and Depression Questionnaire were used.
Results:
81.2% of participants were men with their ages ranging between 36 and 92 years. The health-related quality of life showed a negative correlation with respect to anxiety (r=- 0.622) and a slight correlation with depression (rs=-0.599; p<0.001).
Conclusions:
The use of a cardioverter-defibrillator can trigger anxiety and depression that can deteriorate the health-related quality of life if not timely intervened. It is important to implement early actions that generate well-being.
