This study aimed to assess the levels of anxiety, depression, and quality of life in hospitalized men and women using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Beck's Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Short Form36 Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36). 60 patients of both sexes were recruited from at the outpatient department of the Hospital Universitário de Vassouras (HUV). The HADS-Anxiety (HADS-A) and BAI questionnaires were used to assess anxiety; the HADS-Depression (HADS-D) questionnaire to assess levels of depression, and the SF-36 to assess the quality of life. The results indicated that hospitalized women had higher levels of anxiety when compared to men. No difference was observed in the levels of depression between men and women. Regarding quality of life, women showed more deterioration in general and mental health compared to men. Thus, the findings suggest that hospitalized women have higher levels of anxiety when compared to men and that this increase can lead to worse general and mental health. Professionals should be aware of possible psychological changes in hospitalized women as they can affect the overall quality of life.
本研究旨在使用医院焦虑抑郁量表（HADS）、贝克焦虑量表（BAI）和 36 项简明健康状况调查问卷（SF-36）评估住院男女患者的焦虑、抑郁水平和生活质量。从 Hospital Universitário de Vassouras（HUV）的门诊部招募了 60 名男女患者。使用 HADS-焦虑量表（HADS-A）和 BAI 问卷评估焦虑；使用 HADS-抑郁量表（HADS-D）评估抑郁水平，使用 SF-36 评估生活质量。结果表明，与男性相比，住院女性的焦虑水平更高。男性和女性的抑郁水平没有差异。关于生活质量，女性的总体和心理健康状况比男性恶化更明显。因此，研究结果表明，与男性相比，住院女性的焦虑水平更高，这种增加可能导致整体和心理健康状况更差。专业人员应该注意住院女性可能出现的心理变化，因为这会影响整体生活质量。
