Abstract:

Objective:This study was conducted in post stroke patients to assess the prevalence of depression and its correlation with anxiety , to give an account of patients experience between self and others and to generate a data for clinicians and other health care providers to consider these important predictors when assessing and managing depression and anxiety among stroke patients for a value-added treatment that could address both conditions in patients to enhance functional recovery and ease the burden of patient care.
Methods:The patients which fulfilled the inclusion criteria were enrolled for the study. After taking an informed consent and after a detailed explanation about the questionnaire the patients were provided with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and were asked to tick the box beside the reply that is closest to how they have been feeling in the past week. The data collected was subjected to data analysis.
Results: The mean± SD scores of depression were 11.70±2.377 and 12.65±2.779 with the p-value of 0.02 ≤0.05 which is statistically significant in order words the relationship between anxiety and depression scores is likely not due to the chance and r-value of 0.37, indicates moderate positive correlation. This means that as anxiety scores increase, depression scores tend to increase.
Conclusion:There is a moderate positive correlation between anxiety and depression scores, and this relationship is statistically significant. PSA is less related to stroke than PSD since its primary predictors comprise lifetime anxiety disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and agoraphobia without panic disorder. PSD is less predictable than PSA as a post-stroke affective disorder because it is stroke-related.
