Abstract
Objective: to evaluate the stress perceived, the anxiety and depression in patients with chronic renal disease (CRD) under protocol for renal transplant at a third level unit during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Method: a descriptive cross-sectional study in CRD patients on the waiting list for renal transplant. A sample of 73 individuals was selected through simple random sampling of those on the waiting list. Sociodemographic and clinical variables were studied, and the following validated questionnaires were applied: Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the Beck Anxiety and Depression Inventory. Student’s t-test and Square chi-test were used for hypothesis testing.
Results: the mean age of the sample studied was 35.3 (SD: 11.9 years), with a majority of male gender (72.9%). A mean score of 20 (SD: 10) was obtained in the perceived stress scale. The prevalence of anxiety and depression was 12.5% and 10.4%, respectively. Patients presented minimal anxiety (58.3%) and minimal depression (75%).
Conclusions: patients with CRD under protocol for renal transplant during the COVID-19 pandemic presented minimal stress, anxiety and depression. An appropriate intervention is needed in order to contribute to an improvement in their quality of life when they have not yet received a renal transplant.
