Abstract
Objective: To determine the prevalence of anxiety, depression, and associated factors among inpatients with chronic dermatological diseases at Ho Chi Minh City Hospital of Dermato Venereology. Subject and method: A descriptive cross-sectional study of 238 inpatients with chronic dermatological diseases used the HADS to evaluate and classify anxiety and depression. Result: The prevalence of anxiety and depression was 46.6% and 51.3%, respectively, with clinically significant cases accounting for 20.5% and 19.3%. Anxiety was associated with severe disease and comorbidities, while depression was more common in patients with severe conditions. Notably, patients with anxiety had a 2.26-fold higher risk of depression compared to those without anxiety. Conclusion: Anxiety and depression are prevalent and closely interrelated in hospitalized patients with chronic dermatological diseases, highlighting the importance of early screening and psychological intervention.
