SummaryAims: In this study, we aim to compare the proportion of anxiety and depression among spouses of males with alcohol use disorder and spouses of males without alcohol use disorder. Materials and methods:We conducted a comparative study on patients attending the general practice OPD of an urban tertiary care hospital. Two groups were compared -wives of men with alcohol use disorder (diagnosed by DSM-5) and wives of men without alcohol use disorder. Semi-structured questionnaires, PHQ-9 and GAD-7, were administered. Results:In total, 58 women (38%) married to men with alcohol use disorder reported depression and 89 women (59%) reported anxiety, as opposed to 26 (17%) and 58 (38%) women married to men without alcohol use disorder. The difference was significant, with odds ratio at 3.01 and 2.31 respectively. Discussion:The rates found were comparable to previous studies. However, the current study better elucidates the causality of psychiatric morbidity among spouses of men with alcohol dependence as it is a comparative study. Conclusion:Wives of men with alcohol use disorder show significantly higher rates of both depression and anxiety when compared with wives of men without alcohol use disorder. This increased psychiatric morbidity affects not only the individual but the entire family unit, reduces effective participation in treatment and affects the overall quality of life of the family. Thus, it is important to be vigilant about it and intervene in a timely manner. psychiatric morbidity, caregivers, alcohol abuse, alcohol dependence, spouse burden

“…A result below five points is within the norm. The usefulness of both methods was confirmed by various research [4,6], also among the Polish population [7,8] and among the elderly [9,10]. The project was approved by the independent bioethics commission for research by the medical university of Gdansk (NKeBN/923/2004).…”

“…A PHQ-9 cut-off score ≥10 showed a pooled sensitivity of 85% and a pooled specificity of 89% for MDD [17]. In another meta-analysis, the pooled sensitivity for a cut-off score of 10 was 0.78 and the pooled specificity was 0.87, indicating acceptable diagnostic properties for MDD [18]. …”

SummaryBackgroundPsychiatric symptoms are common in terminally ill patients. Studies linking temperamental traits and psychiatric disorders in patients suffering from advanced disease are rare. This study investigated the influence of temperament on depression and anxiety in palliative care cancer patients.MethodsA total of 53 patients at the palliative care unit (PCU) of the Medical University of Vienna were enrolled in the study. Patients filled out the TEMPS-M and the brief PHQ-9 questionnaires to examine associations between temperament, psychiatric symptoms and sociodemographic parameters.ResultsPain (67%), anorexia (58%), constipation (42%) and nausea/vomiting (40%) were the most prevalent self-reported symptoms. Self-reported symptoms of depression were less commonly reported (21.8%) than unveiled by the structured assessment by the PHQ-9 questionnaire: 26.4% (n = 14) showed mild symptoms of depression and 64.1% (n = 34) had a major depressive disorder (MDD) according to PHQ-9. The depressive and cyclothymic temperaments showed significant associations with depressive (both: p < 0.001) as well as symptoms of anxiety (p = 0.002; p = 0.036). Furthermore, the anxious temperament was significantly associated with symptoms of depression (p = 0.027).ConclusionsMood disorders are common in palliative care patients, as the majority of the patients were suffering from MDD. The depressive, cyclothymic and anxious temperaments were found to be correlated with depressive and anxious symptoms. A sensitization in this field might bring further improvements for the quality of life of palliative care patients and help to appropriately address psychiatric symptoms in palliative care.
