Abstract:Abstract:ObjectiveTo investigate the mental characteristics and related factors of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).Methods54 CRS patients (observation group) and 54 healthy adults (control group) were collected from Jan 2014 to Jan 2015 in our hospital. Profile of mood states (POMS) was adopted to evaluate the emotion state of all the cases in both groups. Analogue visual scale (VAS) was used to classify the patients in the two groups. Their gender, education level, body mass index (BMI) and other data were statistically analyzed.ResultsTotal score and factor scores of hostile, anxiety, depression and fatigue in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group, their differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). As for the 54 patients with CRS, 11 were mild, 29 were moderate, and 14 were severe. The differences of education level among CRS patients of different severity were insignificant (P>0.05), while those of gender, and BMI were significant (P<0.05).ConclusionsThe psychological status of patients with CRS has been damaged. Anger, anxiety, depression, fatigue, weakness and other adverse emotions will usually occur, and the patients’ gender and BMI may be related to the occurence of CRS.
