Abstract
Question: The purpose of this study was to study if depression, anxiety and quality of life differ between patients from an outpatient psychiatric clinic (ÖPM) and a private psychotherapy clinic in “Vårdvalet Region Skåne” (PMV) as well as to study if depression and anxiety correlate to quality of life in these patients. A further purpose of the study was to study if quality of life amongst patients in this study differed from age and gender-matched individuals from the normal population.
Material: 20 and 20 consecutive patients, respectively, were recruited in connection with new visits at ÖPM and at PMV.
Method: In connection with a first visit, the patients completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), assessing anxiety... (More)

A further purpose of the study was to study if quality of life amongst patients in this study differed from age and gender-matched individuals from the normal population.
Material: 20 and 20 consecutive patients, respectively, were recruited in connection with new visits at ÖPM and at PMV.
Method: In connection with a first visit, the patients completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), assessing anxiety and depression, as well as EQ5D, addressing health-related quality of life.
Results: The patients from ÖPM, compared with PMV, rated higher with regard to anxiety and depression. However, only the proportion of clinically significant depressed patients was higher at ÖPM. No significant difference in quality of life was seen between patients from ÖPM and PMV. When comparing quality of life in the whole group of patients with an age and gender-matched group of individuals from the normal population, the quality of life was significantly lower amongst the patients in this study. A statistically significant inverse correlation between anxiety and depression, both as evaluated by HADS, and quality of life as evaluated by EQ5D-VAS, (r=-0.38, p=0.017; r=-0.35, p=0.028), respectively, was also seen in this study.
Conclusions: Patients at ÖPM generally had more pronounced anxiety and depression symptoms than at PMV. Whilst depression and anxiety were found to be moderately associated with quality of life in these patients, quality of life was still not different between patients in the two open-clinics. (Less)
Popular Abstract (Swedish)
Frågeställning: Syftet med denna studie var att studera om depression, ångest och livskvalitet skiljer sig åt mellan patienter från en öppenvårdspsykiatrisk mottagning (ÖPM) och en privat psykoterapimottagning inkluderad i vårdvalet inom Region Skåne (PMV) samt om depression och ångest korrelerar till livskvalitet hos dessa patienter. Ett vidare syfte var att undersöka om livskvalitet skiljer sig åt mellan patienterna i denna studie och en ålders- och könsmatchad grupp individer från normalpopulationen
Undersökningsgrupp: 20 konsekutiva patienter rekryterades i samband med nybesök vardera från ÖPM samt från PMV.
Metod: Patienterna fick i samband med nybesöket fylla i Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) bedömande ångest och... (More)

Ett vidare syfte var att undersöka om livskvalitet skiljer sig åt mellan patienterna i denna studie och en ålders- och könsmatchad grupp individer från normalpopulationen
Undersökningsgrupp: 20 konsekutiva patienter rekryterades i samband med nybesök vardera från ÖPM samt från PMV.
Metod: Patienterna fick i samband med nybesöket fylla i Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) bedömande ångest och depression samt EQ5D, bedömande hälsorelaterad livskvalitet.
Resultat: Patienterna från ÖPM jämfört med PMV skattade högre avseende ångest och depression. Dock var endast andelen kliniskt signifikant deprimerade patienter högre vid ÖPM. Ingen signifikant skillnad avseende livskvalitet sågs mellan patienter från ÖPM och PMV. Vid jämförelse av livskvalitet hos hela gruppen patienter med en ålder och könsmatchad grupp individer från normalpopulationen, var livskvalitén dock signifikant lägre hos patienterna i denna studie. Vidare sågs en statistiskt signifikant invers korrelation mellan ångest och depression, bedömd med HADS, respektive livskvalitet, bedömd med EQ5D-VAS (r=-0.38, p=0.017; r=-0.35, p=0.028) i studien.
Slutsatser: Patienter vid ÖPM hade i regel mer uttalade ångest och depressionssymtom än vid PMV. Trots att ångest och depression korrelerade med livskvalitet hos dessa patienter skilde sig livskvalitet ej signifikant åt mellan patienter vid de 2 mottagningarna. (Less)
