Abstract
Abstract
Aim. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship of sleep quality and perceived stress with depression in women with acute myocardial infarction and anxiety symptoms.
Background. Depression is a common disorder with a lifetime prevalence of about 15 percent, and today it is considered the main cause of disability worldwide and ranks fourth among the ten main causes of the global burden of disease, which is characterized by long-term periods, a variety of symptoms. It is accompanied by a high rate of recurrence and many physical and mental disorders.
Method. Descriptive-correlational research design was selected for conducting the study. Statistical population included the women with acute heart attack living in Tehran in year 2022. Seventy people who scored higher than average in the anxiety questionnaire were selected as the research sample. The tools of data collection in this research were anxiety, depression, sleep quality and perceived stress questionnaires.
Findings. The results showed that there was a positive and statistically significant relationship between sleep quality and negative perceived stress and depression, and also a negative and statistically significant relationship was found between positive perceived stress and depression. Sleep quality, negative perceived stress, and positive perceived stress could predict respectively 0.18, 0.20, and 0.08 of changes in depression score.
Conclusions. Sleep problems can cause psychological distress and decrease concentration in people, so it can be expected that an increase in sleep problems can reduce a person's energy, and by increasing anxiety, it can cause an increase in psychological problems such as depression. Therefore, people who suffer from heart disease often endure a high level of anxiety due to the risk of the disease, which can be associated with increased sleep problems, thus leading to depression in them.
