Prevalência de sintomas depressivos em pacientes portadores de doença renal crônica em tratamento hemodialítico em uma clínica satélite em João Pessoa - PB

Abstract

Depression is a clinical condition often found in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis (HD), with a prevalence of about twice the general population. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of depressive symptoms in patients with CKD undergoing HD at a satellite clinic in Paraíba. This is a cross-sectional study with 48 patients in a regular HD program at Clínica do Rim, João Pessoa - Paraíba. Questionnaires of sociodemographic, socioeconomic, clinical-pathological antecedents and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) questionnaires were applied. Descriptive analyses were performed and Pearson's chi-square and Spearman's correlation tests were applied, with a significance level of 0.05. The prevalence of depressive symptoms (BDI ≥ 16) in the sample was 28.9% (14), of which 57.1% (8) were female, mean age 62.4 years (DP 17.1), 85,7% (12) did not engage in paid activities. A connection was observed between the presence of depressive symptoms and diabetes mellitus (DM) (p = 0.009), chronic pain (p = 0.002), HD access infection (p = 0.039) and physical activity (p = 0.004). The correlation with absolute BDI number was considered positive between the absences of the HD session (r = 0.402; p = 0.005), and negative between the frequency of physical activities (r = -0.416; p = 0.004). Therefore, the research data corroborates with the literature, showing the impact of depressive symptoms on HD patients
