Abstract

Objectives : Although dysfunctional breathing is a common symptom in general population and affects qualities of life, it is still underdiagnosed. There are some studies of prevalence of it in astma, but few studies in anxiety and depressive disorders. The purposes of this study were to explore the prevalence of it in anxiety and depressive disorders, and to investigate whether anxiety and depressed mood influence it. Methods : 135 patients diagnosed with anxiety or depressive disorders, and 124 controls were recruited. Nijmegen questionnaire was used to assess dysfunctional breathing, and Hospital anxiety depression scale was used. Results : The prevalence of dysfunctional breathing in anxiety or depressive disorders was higher than that in control. In the linear regression model, anxiety accounted for 59.6% of dysfunctional breathing, but depressed mood did not. With covariate adjusted for anxiety, scores of dysfunctional breathing in anxiety or depressive disorders were higher than in controls. Conclusions : Dysfunctional breathing in anxiety or depressive disorders is higher than that in control. Adjusting anxiety, its difference is still. Anxiety affects dysfunctional breathing, but depressed mood does not.

연구목적 역기능호흡은 일반 외래 진료에서 흔히 마주치는 증상이며, 삶의 질에 영향을 주지만, 간과되는 경우가 흔하다. 천식과 같은 호흡기 장애에서 유병률은 조사가 되었지만, 불안-우울장애에서는 연구가 적다. 본 연구는 정신과 외래에 방문한 불안-우울장애에서 역기능호흡의 유병률을 조사하고, 불안과 우울의 영향을 평가하고자 한다. 방 법 본 연구는 135명의 불안-우울장애 환자(불안장애 54명, 우울장애 81명)와 124명의 대조군을 대상으로 하였다. 역기능호흡 평가는 Nijmegen 척도를 사용하였고, 불안-우울의 정도는 병원 우울불안 척도를 사용하였다. 결 과 환자군에서 불안, 우울과 역기능호흡의 점수가 대조군에 비하여 높았다. 환자군과 대조군에서 역기능호흡의 점수에 대하여 불안은 유의한 설명력을 보였지만, 우울은 그렇지 않았다. 불안을 공변량으로 하여 비교하였을 때에도, 환자군의 역기능호흡의 점수가 대조군보다 높았다. 결 론 불안-우울장애환자들은 정상대조군보다 역기능호흡의 정도가 높다. 역기능호흡에 불안은 영향을 주지만, 우울은 영향을 주지 않는다. 또한 불안을 조정하였을 때도 역기능호흡의 정도는 불안-우울장애에서 정상대조군 보다 높다.
