| Popis: | Objectives: To measure mental strain, illness perception and health related quality of life (HRQL) in patients before and after lung surgery Methods: 70 patients (m=58.2±14.1 years) filled in questionnaires to measure anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), illness perception (Illness Perception Questionnaire), and HRQL (SF-36) one day before and one week after thoracotomy or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). 37 patients with a malignant lung tumor were compared with 33 patients with benign lung disease. Results: 41% had elevated anxiety and 37% elevated depression scores before intervention and 40% and 36% one week after the intervention, respectively. There was no difference between patients with malignant and benign disease. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that patients with a malignant tumor had more depressive symptoms (p=0.01). Anxiety increased in patients with lung cancer during our study period but decreased in patients with benign lung disease (p=0.05). HRQL worsened after surgical intervention irrespective of kind of disease, the physical components in particular (p |
