Abstract

Introduction: Chronic heart failure not only affects physical health but also significantly impacts the mental well-being and quality of life of patients, particularly in terms of psychiatric disorders. Among these, depression is known to reduce quality of life and increase mortality rates in heart failure patients. This study aims to investigate data on depression in the population of heart failure patients in Vietnam. Objective: To assess the prevalence of depression and its associated factors in outpatients with heart failure using the PHQ-9 questionnaire. Subjects: Outpatients with heart failure treated at the Heart Failure Clinic, Outpatient Department, Cho Ray Hospital, from December 2024 to March 2025. Study Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study. Results: The study recorded 151 patients meeting the inclusion criteria during the study period, with a mean age of 62.34 ± 14.76 years, and 54.3% were male. The prevalence of depression according to the PHQ-9 (score ≥10) in our study was 28.5%, with moderate depression accounting for 19.2%, moderate-to-severe depression at 12.5%, and no cases of severe depression. The study found that gender, marital status, heart failure severity, number of hospitalizations in the past 12 months, and physical activity were statistically significant factors associated with depression (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of depression among outpatients with heart failure at Cho Ray Hospital was 28.5%. Gender, marital status, NYHA heart failure classification, number of hospitalizations, and physical activity were factors associated with depression.
