Abstract
Aim
Heart conditions and depression have a complex and possible bi-directional relationship. This study is an effort to provide some clarity situated within the frame of COVID-19.
Subject and methods
The relationship between chronic heart conditions and depression-related outcomes was examined before and during the COVID-19 pandemic; this included feeling depressed, not being able to get “going,” restless sleep, feeling that everything was an effort, feeling sad, keeping the mind focused, and having a poor appetite. A retrospective study was performed using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 97 (NLSY97) dataset, with a sample size of 645 individuals. One-way multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) analyses were conducted to examine this relationship.
Results
Before the pandemic, having a chronic heart condition was not linked with a higher risk for depressive symptoms relative to not having a heart condition. During the pandemic, having a chronic heart condition was significantly linked with a higher risk for depressive symptoms relative to not having a heart condition; this included not being able to get “going” (F (1, 645) = 5.048, p = .025, η2p = .008) and restless sleep (F (1, 645) = 15.818, p < .001, η2p = .024).
Conclusion
Targeted interventions should be advanced to address the elevated likelihood of depressive symptoms among individuals with chronic heart conditions during public health emergencies.
