ABSTRACT Objective: to assess quality of life, anxiety and depression in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Method: a cross-sectional, quantitative study, conducted in a reference hospital for the treatment of pulmonary diseases. Seventy patients were assessed, using a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, Beck’s anxiety and Depression Inventories and the SF-36 Quality of Life Scale. Results: the participants had better quality of life in the vitality, mental health and social role functioning domains (median=50.0) and worse in limitation by physical and emotional role functioning (median=0.0 points). Anxiety, depression and oxygen dependence were associated with poorer results in the quality of life domains. Conclusion: all patients were classified with severe anxiety level and moderate depression predominance. Patients had low quality of life scores in all domains.

BACKGROUND: In addition to symptoms, such as dyspnea and fatigue, patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) also experience mood disturbances.OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationships between health-related quality of life measures collected from patients with stable COPD and a commonly used measure of depression and anxiety.METHODS: The present analysis was a retrospective study of patients with COPD enrolled in a pulmonary rehabilitation program. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire (CRQ), Medical Research Council dyspnea scale and 6 min walk test data were collected. Statistical analyses were performed using Spearman’s correlations, and categorical regression and categorical principal component analysis were interpreted using the biplot methodology.RESULTS: HADS anxiety scores retrieved from 80 patients were grouped as ‘no anxiety’ (n=43 [54%]), ‘probable anxiety’ (n=21 [26%]) and ‘presence of anxiety’ (n=16 [20%]). HADS depression scores were similarly grouped. There was a moderate relationship between the anxiety subscale of the HADS and both the emotional function (r=−0.519; P<0.01) and mastery (r=−0.553; P<0.01) domains of the CRQ. Categorical regression showed that the CRQ-mastery domain explained 40% of the total variation in anxiety. A principal component analysis biplot showed that the highest distance between the groups was along the mastery domain, which separated patients without feelings of anxiety from those with anxiety. However, none of the CRQ domains were able to discriminate the three depression groups.CONCLUSIONS: The CRQ-mastery domain may identify symptoms of anxiety in patients with COPD; however, the relationship is not strong enough to use the CRQ-mastery domain as a surrogate measure. None of the CRQ domains were able to discriminate the three depression groups (no depression, probable and presence); therefore, specific, validated tools to identify symptoms of depression should be used.

Objective: to study the influence of dosed walking on the course of hypertension and quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Materials and methods: the study included 85 patients with a combination of arterial hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, with an average age of 60.9 ± 1.06 years. Group A patients were prescribed dosed walking in addition to medication, while group B patients received only antihypertensive medications, statins, and basic treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The effectiveness of treatment was determined after 6 weeks based on a standard examination, daily monitoring of blood pressure and ECG, and quality of life indicators. Long-term results were evaluated after 6 months.Results: patients whose treatment plan included physical training, in contrast to patients receiving only medication, noted a decrease in complaints of headache (p=0.034), dizziness (p=0.041), tachycardia (p=0.029), general weakness (p=0.003), head noise and tinnitus (p=0.018), sleep disturbance (p=0.010) and shortness of breath (p=0.004). They had normalization of all indicators of quality of life according to the SF-36 questionnaire: scales physical functioning (p<0.001), role functioning due to physical condition (p<0.001), pain intensity (p<0.001), general health (p=0.002), vital activity (p=0.001), social functioning (p=0.013), role functioning due to emotional state (p<0.001), mental health (p=0.008), physical component of health in general (p<0.001) and the mental health component (p=0.002). Improvement of well-being was accompanied by normalization of lipidogram indicators, daily heart rate and blood pressure: reduction of average daily indicators of blood pressure (p<0.001), pressure load index (p<0.001), blood pressure variability (p<0.05), pulse pressure (p<0.001) and the rate of morning rise in blood pressure (p<0.001).Conclusion: addition to standard medical therapy of dosed walking has a positive effect on the course of arterial hypertension in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disease with the limitation of the airway, which is not completely reversible and is progressive. One of the risk factors of this disease is exposure to cigarette smoke for a long time. The purpose of this research is to know the relationship of smoking with the quality of life of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients at Dr. Reksodiwiryo Padang Hospital. This cross-sectional research has been implemented in February-May 2019 and involving 35 research subjects that meet inclusion and exclusion criteria. In this study, data was obtained that 97.1% of male gender research subjects, aged 60-69 years, 37.1%, 45.7% had moderate smoking status, poor quality of life 54.3% and there was a relationship with quality of life in Dr. Reksodiwiryo Padang Hospital (P-value < 0.05). In this research can be concluded that there is a smoking relationship with the quality of life patients of chronic abortive pulmonary disease patients in Dr. Reksodiwiryo Hospital, Padang.Keywords:            Smoking Status, quality of life, COPD.

Abstract: Background: The significant reason for anguish as well as incapacity is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Activities of daily living might be relentlessly curbed among patients with COPD and appraisal needs evaluation regarding influence of infirmity and detriments on day-to-day living. The primary objective was to know the daily activity associated quality of life in COPD adults. The secondary objective was to analyze demographical profile, such as gender and age of COPD subjects as well as evaluate the physical activity related breathlessness in COPD patients. Methodology: This study was executed at Gulab Devi Chest Hospital. We used cross sectional study design to collect the data. For collecting the statistics of 150 subjects aged 40-60 years of either gender Saint George’s Questionnaire was liable. It included the patient’s biodata, effect of COPD on physical activities and limitations in routine work. Results: The ages of 150 COPD patients selected were between 40 and 60 years. Patients were classified into two categories on the basis of disease severity according to GOLD criteria 71 (47.3%) were with moderate severity and 79 (52.7%) were with severe severity. 113 (75.3%) patients were smokers while 37 (24.7%) patients were non-smokers. 110 (73.3%) COPD patients were active smokers in comparison 40 (26.7%) COPD patients were passive smokers. COPD patients with current smoking status were 79 (52.7%) and with past smoking status were 71 (47.3%). 19 (12.7%) COPD patients felt breathlessness while sitting and lying. 53(35.3%) COPD patients felt breathless while getting washed or dressed. 85(56.7%) COPD patients felt breathless while walking around the home. 114 (96%) COPD patients discerned breathlessness while walking up a flight of stairs. 145 (96.7%) COPD patients had breathlessness while playing sports or games. 146 (97.3%) COPD patients experienced difficulty in breathing during activities like carrying load. 88 (58.7%) COPD patients discerned breathlessness during entertainment or recreation. 88 (58.7%) COPD patients discerned breathlessness during entertainment or recreation. 7 (4.7%) COPD patients felt breathlessness while moving from bed or chair. Conclusion: As with the progression of COPD impairment in activities become worse due to breathlessness causing decline in patient’s ability making them unable to complete their task to fulfill the needs of life and ultimately become bed bound due to shortness of breath.
