Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the largest cause of mortality; accounting for around half of all deaths resulting from non communicable diseases. The development of cardiac disease has a profound effect on a person‟s psychological state and quality of life. Stress and anxiety are thought to be the worse psychologic response in cardiac patients. The stresses of life have long been thought to increase a person‟s risk of cardiovascular disease or a serious coronary or cerebral event.Unrelieved anxiety can produce an increase in sympathetic nervous system activity leading to an increase in cardiac workload and imbalance in homeostasis that impair or impede recovery. This study assessed the level of anxiety and stress among patients in the cardiology ward. A descriptive survey approach was used for the study. The study was conducted among 30 cardiac patients admitted in the selected hospitals at Mangalore. Hamilton anxiety rating scale and Perceived stress scale was used to assess the anxiety and stress. The results revealed that majority (60%) of the patients had moderate level of anxiety, and least (16.67%) had mild level of anxiety. Majority (56.67%) of patients had moderate level of stress and least (20%) had mild level of stress. There was a positive correlation between level of anxiety and stress among patients in the cardiology ward(r=0.627).
