A Comparative Study of Depression and Anxiety in the Patients on Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis(CAPD) and Hemodialysis

This study was conducted to investigate the difference of depression and anxiety developed in the patients on CAPD and Hemodialysis. The authors survey 29 patients on CAPD treatment and 41 patient on Hemodialysis at Soonchunhyang University Hospital from Jul. 1993 to Oct 1993. Depression and anxiety were evaluated with the Beck Depression Inventory and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory known as self report assessment scale, and those with the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression and Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety as objective assessment scale by interview. The results were as follows: 1) The CAPD group was significantly less depressed than the Hemodialysis group on Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression. 2) The Beck Depression Inventory showed no significant difference in depression between the CAPD group with the Hemodialysis group. 3) There was no significant difference in anxiety between two groups. .In conclusion, authors suggest that objective depressive symtomes were less in the CAPD group, but anxiety symptomes were not influenced by treatment modality itself.
