About this trial

The goal of this observational cross-sectional study is to determine the prevalence of psychiatric problems (depression, anxiety, stress, and burnout) among patients with cardiovascular diseases and healthcare providers working in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at Assiut University Heart Hospital.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* What is the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among cardiovascular patients? * What is the prevalence of burnout, depression, and anxiety among healthcare providers in the same department?

The study will also explore potential sociodemographic, occupational, and clinical factors associated with these psychological outcomes.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Measuring the prevalence of depressive symptoms among cardiovascular patients assessed by SCL-90R

The Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90R) will be used to assess depression subscale scores among patients with cardiovascular diseases. A predefined cutoff score indicates the presence of depressive symptoms. Unit of measure: Percentage of participants with depressive symptoms (%)

Time frame
Within 12 months
2

Measuring the prevalence of anxiety symptoms among cardiovascular patients assessed by SCL-90R

Anxiety subscale of SCL-90R will be used to quantify anxiety symptoms in patients. Unit of measure : Percentage of participants with anxiety symptoms (%)

Time frame
Within 12 months
3

Prevalence of burnout among healthcare providers assessed by Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI)

The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) will be used to assess emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment among cardiology staff. Unit of measure : Percentage of participants meeting burnout criteria (%)

Time frame
Within 12 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Association between sociodemographic and clinical factors and psychiatric symptoms

Multivariate logistic regression will be used to identify predictors (e.g., age, sex, job type, disease severity) associated with depression, anxiety, and burnout. Unit is Odds ratio (95% CI).

Time frame
within 12 months
2

Mean Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) score among patients and providers

Perceived Stress Scale will be used to measure stress levels; higher scores indicate greater perceived stress. Unit of measure : Mean PSS score (0-40)

Time frame
within 12 months
