The goal of the study was to understand the prevalence of depression and related factors of depression among patients with chronic heart failure in Taiwan. Cross-sectional research investigation was utilized in the current study. Patients with heart failure at the outpatient settings were recruited. Depression was measured by the Brief Symptom Inventory- Depression subscale (BSI- depression) and Patient Health Questionnaire- 9 (PHQ-9). The study recruited 122 heart failure patients (age 64.3±12.9 years; 78.7% male; months since diagnosed 43.0±35.8; 36.1% NYHA III/IV). The patients showed considerable depression (BSI- depression: 0.67±0.82/ PHQ- 9: 5.07±5.18). Female, single, and hear failure with preserved systolic function patients had more severe depression. Health care providers should pay more attention to the depressed patients to improve the medical quality and offer more appropriate remedies for them.
