“…Moreover, when we divided the individuals into groups with and without depressive symptoms, those with depressive symptoms had below-average scores (≤50) for all of the domains, thus suggesting that such symptoms have a high influence on HRQoL. Several studies have shown the influence of depression on HRQoL [7][8][9]19 .…”

“…In a one-year follow-up on Chinese patients, Kwok et al 7 observed that there were no changes in physical functioning, as measured on scales, but that there was a decrease in HRQoL and increase in depression. Depression is a condition that negatively influences HRQoL 8,9 . Carod-Artal et al 8 found that depression and the degree of functioning were the foremost predictors of HRQoL one year after stroke.…”

Objective: To assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among adults with stroke sequelae and to identify the factors that influenced the domains of HRQoL. Method: The subjects were adults with stroke who were admitted to a rehabilitation program between March and August 2008. They were investigated using the following instruments: Medical Outcomes 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Sixty-four adults of mean age 58.8 years were evaluated. Results: The individuals who had had their injuries for longer times and who were more independent and younger had better HRQoL regarding physical functioning. Social participation was associated with better HRQoL, and there was a difference between groups with and without depressive symptoms. Conclusion: HRQoL was compromised primarily with regard to functional characteristics. Moreover, the presence of depressive symptoms contributed towards a decline in HRQoL. Rehabilitation needs to focus on improving functionality and social participation, which may stimulate reductions in depressive symptoms and improvement of HRQoL.

“…A depressão nesses pacientes é muito frequente e ela tem sido uma das principais variáveis associadas com a piora da qualidade de vida 30 , dificultando a adesão ao tratamento, comprometendo a percepção geral da saúde, reduzindo os níveis de energia e diminuindo a interação social e a motivação 31 . Vários são os fatores associados ao comprometimento da qualidade de vida, mas a depressão foi considerada um dos mais importantes preditores de baixa qualidade de vida 30,32,33 .…”

“…Carod-Artal et al 32 Entre os idosos, as variáveis que mais interferem na qualidade de vida no pós-AVC são: incapacidades, sintomas depressivos, comorbidades, pior funcionamento cognitivo e recuperação tardia. Já entre os homens mais jovens, o trabalho é o fator que mais compromete, pois é visto como fonte de satisfação com a vida 31 .…”

ResumoContexto: A depressão pós-AVC (DPAVC) possui uma prevalência elevada. Apesar disso, ela é pouco detectada e tratada. Muitos fatores de risco e repercussões negativas na recuperação dos pacientes estão associados à DPAVC. Objetivo: Revisar alguns aspectos da DPAVC como: qualidade de vida, prejuízos cognitivos, eixo HHA, localização do AVC e tratamento. Métodos: Pesquisa dos últimos 10 anos da base de dados MedLine/PubMed usando as palavraschave post-stroke depression, stroke, quality of life, hypercortisolism, cogntitive dysfunction e treatment. Resultados: A prevalência de DPAVC é de 23% a 60%. Há poucos estudos sobre a incidência de DPAVC. A DPAVC está associada a pior prognóstico e evolução, agravo das disfunções cognitivas e redução da qualidade de vida. O hipercortisolismo está associado à DPAVC que ocorre tardiamente ao AVC. AVC em gânglios da base, região frontal esquerda e estruturas do circuito prefrontosubcortical está relacionado à frequência e à gravidade da DPAVC. Conclusões: É necessário melhoria na metodologia dos estudos para maior esclarecimento sobre a fisiopatologia da incidência da DPAVC. Programas objetivando o aumento das taxas de detecção dos pacientes deprimidos se fazem necessários inclusive para a redução dos impactos negativos na recuperação desses pacientes.Terroni LMN, et al. / Rev Psiq Clín. 2009;36(3):100-8 Palavras-chave: depressão pós-AVC, acidente vascular cerebral, qualidade de vida, disfunção cognitiva, hipercortisolismo, tratamento. AbstractBackground: The prevalence of post-stroke depression (PSD) is elevated. Some risk factors and poor outcome have been associated with PSD. The treatment of PSD reduced the negative impact in patients recovery. Appart from these data the PSD has been under diagnosed and under treated. Objective: Review some aspects such as quality of life, cognitive dysfunction, hypercortisolism, stroke localization and treatment of PSD. Methods: MedLine/PubMed database search using the terms post-stroke depression, stroke, quality of life, hypercortisolism, cognitive dysfunction and treatment, published in MedLine in the last 10 years. Results: PSD has a high rate of prevalence, from 23% to 60%. Few incidence rates are investigated. PSD is associated with poor outcome, increase of cognitive dysfunction and reduced quality of life. The hypercortisolism seems to be associated with PSD in the latter period of stroke. Stroke in the left frontal region, basal ganglia and some structures of prefrontosubcortical circuits have been related with
