Abstract
Background

Chronic diseases and comorbidity are important predictors of depression and anxiety, the two most common disorders of poor mental health. Meanwhile, the pandemic increases anxiety and depression levels, alongside declined quality of life (QoL), the same way that comorbidities are associated with severity of COVID-19 progression. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of anxiety and depression, as well as the QoL among patients with chronic medical conditions in Amman, Jordan, in the post-pandemic period.

Methods

A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with comorbidities using a validated questionnaire consisting of 3 parts. Anxiety and depression prevalence were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), while the QoL in terms of physical, psychological, social, emotional, and general mental health was evaluated using the SF-36 QoL questionnaire.

Results

A total of 150 participants (mean age=55±13 years) were enrolled in the study. Most participants reported a significantly elevated level of borderline abnormal or mild anxiety (44%, P<.0001). The QoL scores indicated relatively poor well-being, particularly in the physical role (29.2±45.5) and emotional role (26.2±4.0) domains (P<.05). Statistical significance was observed between HADS anxiety or depression scores and variables, such as age, education level, and comorbidities.

Conclusion

This study's findings provide insights into the adverse psychiatric consequences, high prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms, and reduced quality of life among patients with comorbid conditions post-COVID-19 pandemic.

Resumen
Antecedentes

la comorbilidad de enfermedades crónicas es un predictor importante de depresión y ansiedad, los dos trastornos más comunes de mala salud mental. Mientras tanto, la pandemia aumenta los niveles de ansiedad y depresión, junto con la disminución de la calidad de vida (QoL), de la misma manera que las comorbilidades se asocian con la gravedad de la progresión de COVID-19. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la prevalencia de la ansiedad y la depresión, así como la calidad de vida entre los pacientes con afecciones médicas crónicas en Amman, Jordania, en el período posterior a la pandemia.

Métodos

Se realizó un estudio transversal descriptivo entre pacientes con comorbilidades mediante un cuestionario validado que consta de tres partes. La prevalencia de ansiedad y depresión se evaluó mediante la Escala de Ansiedad y Depresión Hospitalaria (HADS), mientras que la CV en términos de salud física, psicológica, social, emocional y mental en general se evaluó mediante el cuestionario de CV SF-36.

Resultados

Un total de 150 participantes (edad media = 55±13 años) se inscribieron en el estudio. La mayoría de los participantes informaron un nivel significativamente elevado de ansiedad limítrofe anormal o leve (44%, P < 0,0001). Las puntuaciones de CdV indicaron un bienestar relativamente bajo, particularmente en los dominios del rol físico (29,2±45,5) y del rol emocional (26,2±4,0) (P < 0,05). Se observó significación estadística entre las puntuaciones de ansiedad o depresión de la HADS y variables como la edad, el nivel educativo y las comorbilidades.

Conclusión

los hallazgos de este estudio ofrecen información novedosa e implícita sobre las consecuencias psiquiátricas adversas, la alta prevalencia de ansiedad y síntomas depresivos y la reducción de la calidad de vida entre los pacientes con condiciones comórbidas después de la pandemia de COVID-19.
