“…The current findings are generally contradictory to those of previous studies suggesting that psychological distress might predict mortality in CHF. 19,33,38,39 However, both anxiety and depressive symptoms and type D personality have been consistently linked to poor patient-centered outcomes such as impaired health status, 16,18,[45][46][47] and type D personality has been shown to predict increased levels of depression 16,21 and anxiety 42,48 across different types and stages of cardiac disease. These patient-centered outcomes are important in their own right because they may serve as performance measures in clinical practice to optimize clinical care.…”

Background-Depression, anxiety, and type D ("distressed") personality (tendency to experience negative emotions paired with social inhibition) have been associated with poor prognosis in coronary heart disease, but little is known about their role in chronic heart failure. Therefore, we investigated whether these indicators of psychological distress are associated with mortality in chronic heart failure. Method and Results-Consecutive outpatients with chronic heart failure (nϭ641; 74.3% men; mean age, 66.6Ϯ10.0 years) filled out a 4-item questionnaire to assess mixed symptoms of anxiety and depression and the 14-item type D scale. End points were defined as all-cause and cardiac mortality.

“…Major depression is 4-5 times more common in heart failure than in the general population [2]. In depressed heart failure patients, even higher short and long term morbidity and mortality rates [3,4], impaired health-related quality of life and augmented hospitalization costs have been reported [5][6][7]. There is also growing evidence that depression and cardiovascular disease share common genetic susceptibilities [8].…”

“…In addition, significantly higher shortand long-term morbidity and mortality rates have been demonstrated in patients with chronic heart failure with major (but not minor) depression comorbidity. 5 Depression in heart failure patients also contributes to decreased quality of life and inability to maintain activities of daily living. 4 Among patients with heart failure, depression is associated with a 2-fold greater risk for mortality, hospitalization, increased health care costs, and functional decline.…”

The association between depression and cardiovascular disease has been well established and has been shown to decrease patients' quality of life and increase the risk of mortality, frequency and duration of hospitalization, and health care costs. The inpatient setting provides a potentially valuable opportunity to assess and treat depression among patients with acute cardiac illness, allowing for daily monitoring of treatment side effects. Although systematic depression screening appears to be feasible, efficient, and well accepted on inpatient cardiac units, the current lack of consistent inpatient assessment for depression in heart failure patients suggests the presence of barriers influencing the effective diagnosis and treatment of depression among inpatients with heart failure. The theory of planned behavior describes the cognitive mechanism by which behavioral intent is formed, giving some insight into how nurses' attitudes and beliefs affect their performance of routine depression screening. In addition, application of this cognitive theory suggests that nurses may be influenced to adopt more positive attitudes and beliefs about depression through educational intervention, leading to greater likelihood of routine assessment for depression, ultimately leading to more timely diagnosis and treatment and improved patient outcomes.
