Abstract

Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the depressive and anxiety symptoms and the quality of life (QofL) in patients treated for glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Materials and Methods: Between March 1 and June 30, 2008, 60 outpatients with glaucoma and AMD were included into the study. As controls, sixty patients with similar sociodemographic features and who applied to the Ophthalmology Clinics with refractive errors only were taken. All patients and controls were applied the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS), the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) Turkish version. Results: The mean HDRS and HARS scores of the glaucoma and AMD patients were significantly higher than those of the controls (p0.05). In the glaucoma and AMD groups, WHOQOL-BREF scores in the physical, social, environmental, and psychological domains were significantly lower than in the controls (p0.05). Conclusion: It was shown that the QofL was impaired in patients with glaucoma and AMD who were more depressive and anxious. So that, we believe that it is very important to keep under observation the psychiatric symptoms of patients who have chronic eye diseases like glaucoma and AMD to increase the quality of their lives and to improve the prognosis.

Özet

Amaç: Glokom hastalığı ve yaşa bağlı makula dejeneransı (YBMD) nedeniyle tedavi gören hastalarda, depresif belirtilerin ve anksiyete belirtilerinin varlığının ve yaşam kalitesinin değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: 1 Mart 2008-30 Haziran 2008 tarihleri arasında, kliniğimizde takip ve tedavisi yapılan 60 glokom ve 60 YBMD hastası çalışmaya alındı. Kontrol grubu olarak, gözlük muayenesi için gelen ve ek bir şikayeti olmayan 60 hasta dahil edildi. Glokom ve YBMD hastalarının psikiyatrik belirtiler ve yaşam kalitesi üzerine etkilerini değerlendirmek amacıyla, hastalara hastane anksiyete depresyon ölçeği (Hamilton Anksiyete Derecelendirme Ölçeği-HAD), dünya sağlık örgütü yaşam kalitesi ölçeği kısa formu (WHOQOL- BREF TR) verilerek doldurmaları istendi. Çalışma grubunu oluşturan hastaların ve kontrol grubunun yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim durumu kaydedildi. Bulgular: Glokomlu ve YBMDli hasta gruplarında HADD (Hamilton Anksiyete Derecelendirme Ölçeği-Depresyon) ve HADA (Hamilton Anksiyete Derecelendirme Ölçeği-Anksiyete) alt puanları kontrol grubundan anlamlı düzeyde yüksek bulundu (p0,05). Glokomlu ve YBMDli hasta gruplarında WHOQOL-BREF fiziksel, sosyal, çevresel ve psikolojik alanlardaki yaşam kalitesi puanı kontrol grubundan anlamlı olarak düşük bulundu (p0,05). Sonuç: Glokomlu ve YBMDli hastaların normal populasyona göre yaşam kalitesinin bozulduğu, bu hastaların depresif belirtilerin ve anksiyete belirtilerinin daha fazla bulunduğu gösterilmiştir. Bu nedenle glokomlu ve YBMDli hastalar gibi kronik seyirli göz hastaların tedavi ve takipleri sürecinde psikiyatrik semptomlar açısından değerlendirilmesi ve desteklenmesinin, hastaların yaşam kalitesi ve prognozunu olumlu yönde etkileyeceği düşüncesindeyiz.
