Abstract

Background: In recent years there has been an increase in the survival rate of patients suffering from beta thalassemia major. This finding is mostly due to progress made in the medical management of these patients. However, less attention has been paid to psychosocial aspects of the illness. Patients and Methods: In this study, the rates of HOPELESSNESS and ANXIETY in 23 beta thalassemia major patients, who comprised all of the registered cases at the Thalassemia Center of Yazd were determined. The age range of the patients was 12 to 18 years. Fifty-four healthy students who were the classmates of the patients and who were both sex- and age-matched served as the control group. Two questionnaires (Beck HOPELESSNESS Scale and the Trait ANXIETY Inventory) were used for the evaluations. Results: The results showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the rates of HOPELESSNESS in thalassemic patients as compared to their healthy classmates. However, thalassemic patients were significantly more anxious than their classmates (p=0.025). Conclusion: It can be concluded that beta- thalassemia major patients are more anxious than healthy subjects probably due to the unpredictability of their physical condition and the invasive procedures that are used to manage their problems. Therefore, there is a need for psychosocial support in these patients which can be facilitated by physicians, psychologists and social workers.
