Abstract

This study aimed to quantify the synergistic impact of symptom clusters on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We conducted a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional data collected via convenience sampling from patients with COPD. Multiple linear regressions were used to quantify the relationships between symptom clusters and HRQoL. The sample included 106 COPD patients from whom three symptom clusters were identified comprising of dyspnea depression, anxiety-sleep, and depression-anxiety. Depression-anxiety (psychological symptom cluster) was significantly associated with poorer HRQoL (β = 13.88, 95% CI [7.94, 19.82]), while no significant associations were detected with HRQoL for either depression or anxiety alone (β = 6.66, 95% CI [−2.99, 16.31]; β = 7.29, 95% CI [−0.78, 15.35]). Assessment and early intervention led by nurses targeting the psychological symptom cluster may represent an initial approach to improve HRQoL. Understanding the phenomenon of symptom clusters that are present in patients with COPD provides a breakthrough insight to devise strategies for their management.
