Abstract
Anxiety and depressive disorders are common in the general population and are particularly prevalent in patients with cardiovascular disease. A descriptive research design was used to assess anxiety and depression among 50 patients with myocardial infarction, who are admitted in cardiac care units of selected hospitals in Mangalore. Purposive sampling technique was used to collect the sample for study. The data was collected by using Zung Anxiety Self Assessment Scale and Zung Depression Self Assessment Scale. Majority (94%) of the patients had minimal to moderate level of anxiety, (6%) of them had marked to severe level of anxiety.Majority (86%) of the patients had mild level of depression and (14%) of them had moderate level of depression. There was no significant association between level of anxiety and depression with demographic variables.The findings of the study concluded that the high proportion of patients with AMI found to be suffering from symptoms of depression and anxiety after AMI highlights the essential need to assess these symptoms in all such patients and no association was found between anxiety and depression with demographic variables.
