چکیده
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to determine stress levels during hospitalization in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). We wanted to relate stress to previous level of quality of life and patients' Social Support. METHODS 80 patients (70.43; SD = 8.13 years old) with COPD were assessed by means of: Hospital Stress Rating Scale, Nottingham Health Profile, St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire and Social Support Scale. RESULTS COPD patients' stress levels are lower than expected independently from the severity or number of previous hospitalizations. Linear regression analysis shows the predictive value of Quality of Life and Social Support on stress level during hospitalization (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION HRQOL and social support can be associated with stress during hospitalization.
