Abstract
Objective: This study was conducted to identify dyspnea, anxiety, and death anxiety in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
Method: The study was carried out with 200 COPD patients who applied to the chest diseases outpatient clinic of a state hospital between December 2022 and June 2023.
Results: A total of 73.0% of the patients with COPD participating in the study were male and their mean age was 66.73 ± 8.45 years. Their mean scores were 5.21 ± 2.46 on Modified Borg Scale, 2.62 ± 1.03 on the Modified Medical Research Council scale, 17.87 ± 7.96 on the Beck Anxiety Inventory, and 10.07 ± 4.02 on the Death Anxiety Scale. Patients with high dyspnea levels also had high levels of anxiety and death anxiety (p < 0.001).
Significance of results: The patients with COPD had high levels of dyspnea, anxiety, and death anxiety. Based on the results of the study, it is recommended to plan evidence-based studies to alleviate dyspnea, anxiety, and death anxiety in patients with COPD.
