The author studied the emotional status, especially, anxiety and depression and their influential factors of the hospitalized chronic medical patients by means of the semistructured interview and psychological tests(SAS, BDI, MMPI).
The results were as follows:
1. Among the total 88 inpatients, considerable anxiety was noticed in 47.7% of them by SAS and depression in 47.7% by BDI and 50% by MMPI.
2. There were statistically no differences of emotional status in the sex, age and educational level.
3. The anxiety and depression scores of the protestant, the catholic and the other religious group were lower than that of the buddist(p<0.05).
4. The divorced were more anxious and depressed than the married and unmarried(p<0.05).
5. The chronic renal failure patients were more anxious and depressed than the other chronic medical patients(p<0.05).
6. The patients who had been recurred, and had positive farmily history, and had other physical disease were more anxious and depressed than those who had not(p<0.01, p<0.01,p<0.05).
7. Anxiety and depression of the chronic medical patients were positively correlated each other: the more anxious the patients, the more depressed and vice versa.
