Tóm tắt
Background: Chronic diseases negatively affect quality of life, increase disability, and limit physical activities and social participation among patients with chronic diseases. Consequently, they may increase the risk of mental health problems and contribute to depressive symptoms in some patients with chronic diseases.
Objectives: The study aimed to assess social participation and depressive symptoms among patients with chronic diseases receiving treatment at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, and to determine the relationship between social participation and depressive symptoms among these patients.
Materials and methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 124 patients with chronic diseases receiving treatment at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital from April to August 2026. A structured questionnaire was used to assess social participation and depressive symptoms among the patients.
Results: Patients with chronic diseases had a mean P-Scale Short score of 12.60 ± 5.29, indicating mild restriction in social participation, and a mean PHQ-9 score of 6.06 ± 4.32, indicating mild depressive symptoms. A significant positive relationship was found between participation restriction and depressive symptoms among patients with chronic diseases after adjustment for other variables (B = 0.474, β = 0.580, 95% CI: 0.332 to 0.616, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Patients with chronic diseases experienced mild restriction in social participation and mild depressive symptoms. Participation restriction was positively associated with depressive symptoms, highlighting the importance of addressing both mental health and social participation in the management and care of patients with chronic diseases.
