FACTORS THAT AFFECT ANXIETY IN PATIENTS WITH RESPIRATORY DISORDERS AT THE PULMONARY POLYCLINIC OF ARIFIN ACHMAD HOSPITAL, RIAU PROVINCE

Abstract

Problems with breathing can be dangerous because they stop the lungs from sending enough oxygen to the body. One way that breathing problems can affect a person is by making them feel anxious. Anxiety is a feeling of fear or worry. This study looked at what affects the anxiety of patients with breathing problems at RSUD Arifin Achmad Riau Province.The study used a method called descriptive analysis design with a cross-sectional approach. We used a sample size of 43 respondents and the following instruments: the Medical Research Council questionnaire, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire, the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF questionnaire and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale questionnaire. The results showed that the degree of breathlessness, quality of life and sleep quality in patients with respiratory disorders can affect anxiety levels. This was confirmed by statistical tests showing P < 0.05 = 0.000, which means there is a significant relationship with increased patient anxiety. The results of the person correlation test obtained r = 0.668, which indicates a strong correlation between sleep quality and anxiety level. The results also prove that the quality of life is linked to anxiety levels (P < 0.05 = 0.001).
