RESUMEN
Objective.To assess the presence of depressive symptoms in patients with coronary artery disease in the preoperative period for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) in Aracaju, Sergipe, Brazil. Methods. A cross-sectional study with 63 hospitalized patients prior to CABG. Two instruments were used for data collection; one for the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, and the other to evaluate the presence of depressive symptoms, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Results. The mean age was 58 years; most were male (60.3%); with a partner (81%) low educational level (71.4% attended school through elementary school). Among the patients, 36.5% were classified with dysphoria, and 25.4% had some degree of depression (6.3% mild, 17.5% moderate, and 1.6% severe). The group of patients with lower educational level presented higher depressive symptoms. Conclusion. Six of every ten patients with coronary artery disease showed dysphoria or some degree of depression. The results of this study can support the planning of nursing care for patients before and after CABG, as well as the development of public health policies to ensure complete, quality care for these patients, understanding depression as a variable that can interfere with recovery after cardiac surgery.
Objetivo.Evaluar la presencia de síntomas depresivos en pacientes con coronariopatía en el preoperatorio de cirugía de revascularización del miocardio (CRVM) en el municipio de Aracaju, Sergipe, Brasil. Métodos. Estudio de corte transversal realizado con 63 pacientes hospitalizados quienes esperaban una CRVM. Para la recolección de datos se utilizaron dos instrumentos: uno para la caracterización sociodemográfica y clínica y otro para la evaluación de presencia de síntomas depresivos (Inventario de Depresión de Beck -IDB). Resultados. La edad media fue de 58 años; la mayoría era de sexo masculino (60.3%); tenía compañero (81%), y presentaba baja escolaridad (71.4%, con estudios incompletos de primaria). Dentro de los pacientes, el 36.5% clasificó en disforia y un 25.4% presentaba algún grado de depresión (6.3% leve, 17.5% moderada y 1.6% grave. El grupo de pacientes que tenía menor grado de escolaridad presentó mayor presencia de síntomas depresivos. Conclusión. Seis de cada diez pacientes con coronariopatía presentó disforia o algún grado de depresión. Los resultados de este estudio contribuyen a la planeación de la asistencia de enfermería a los pacientes después de CRVM, así como en el desarrollo de políticas públicas en salud que garanticen la atención integral y de calidad, considerando la depresión como una variable que puede interferir en la recuperación después de la cirugía cardíaca.
Objetivo.Avaliar a presença de sintomas depressivos de pacientes com coronariopatia no pré-operatório de cirurgia de revascularização do miocárdio (CRVM). Métodos. Estudo de corte transversal realizado com 63 pacientes hospitalizados aguardando a CRVM no município de Aracaju, estado de Sergipe, Brasil. Para a coleta dos dados foram utilizados dois instrumentos, um para a caracterização sócio-demográfica e clínica, e outro para avaliação da presença de sintomas depressivos, o Inventario de Depressão de Beck (IDB).

O grupo de pacientes que tinha menor grau de escolaridade apresentou maiores sintomas depressivos. Conclusão. Seis de cada dez pacientes com coronariopatia apresentaram disforia ou algum grau de depressão. Os resultados deste estudo podem subsidiar o planejamento da assistência de enfermagem à pacientes, antes e após a CRVM, assim como o desenvolvimento de políticas públicas de saúde que garantam o atendimento integral e de qualidade a esses pacientes, considerando a depressão como uma variável que pode interferir na recuperação após a cirurgia cardíaca.
