Abstract

Valvular heart disease (VHD) is a significant health issue globally, particularly in developing countries like India where rheumatic heart disease is a major cause of cardiac morbidity and mortality. This study focused on evaluating pre-operative anxiety, fatigue, and sleep quality in 100 patients undergoing heart valve repair or replacement at a tertiary center in India. Using a descriptive cross-sectional design, the study employed the GAD-7 scale, Fatigue Assessment Scale, and a sleep-quality scale to measure these variables. Results showed that a majority of the patients experienced moderate levels of anxiety (81%), fatigue (89%), and sleep quality disturbances (61%). The study found no statistically significant association between these conditions and demographic or most clinical variables (P > 0.05). However, there was a significant association between sleep quality and specific clinical variables like history of childhood rheumatic diseases and co-morbid conditions (P < 0.05). The findings suggest that anxiety, fatigue, and sleep disturbances are common among patients awaiting valve surgery, and that certain clinical factors related to sleep quality warrant further attention. These insights could help in improving pre-operative care and management for patients with VHD.
