| Sumario: |
The aim of this study was to investigate the anxiety and depression levels in 30 patients (15 women) with chronic renal insufficiency and haemodialysis treatment, ages between 25 and 85 (mean: 53.67; DE: 15.83). A semi-structured interview for dialysed patients, Beck’s Depression Inventory-II and Spielberger’s State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were used. 56.7% of participants manifested some degree of depression. Positives correlations were observed between state anxiety levels and depression scores; and between state and trait anxiety. State anxiety was higher on chronic renal patients of older age and during the first months of haemodialysis. Depression levels were higher on patients without work and on the older ones. |
