 patients. This descriptive study was conducted at a university hospital between January 2016 and June 2017. In the power analysis to determine the sample of the study, 0.05 error level, 0.08 effect size and 0.95 sample size were determined as 202 patients. Patients were selected by simple random sampling method. Personal data form, Katz Daily Life Activities index and Status Anxiety Scale (STAI form TX - I) were used for data collection. The mean STAI scores of the patients participating in the study were found as 45.17 ± 11.28. Patients with STAI score 40-59 indicate moderate concern. Statistically significant difference was found between the total score of the patients on the Katz scale and the mean of the points of gender, education and cohabitation (p < 0.05). The difference between STAI total score and gender total score of the patients was statistically significant (p <0.05). There was a statistically significant negative correlation between Katz total score and STAI score averages. As a result, the anxiety levels increase as the home care needs of COPD patients decrease. As the independence of daily living activities of COPD patients increases, the level of anxiety is decreasing.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/894.jpg)

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of anxiety levels on home care needs of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. This descriptive study was conducted at a university hospital between January 2016 and June 2017. In the power analysis to determine the sample of the study, 0.05 error level, 0.08 effect size and 0.95 sample size were determined as 202 patients. Patients were selected by simple random sampling method. Personal data form, Katz Daily Life Activities index and Status Anxiety Scale (STAI form TX - I) were used for data collection. The mean STAI scores of the patients participating in the study were found as 45.17 ± 11.28. Patients with STAI score 40-59 indicate moderate concern. Statistically significant difference was found between the total score of the patients on the Katz scale and the mean of the points of gender, education and cohabitation (p < 0.05). The difference between STAI total score and gender total score of the patients was statistically significant (p <0.05). There was a statistically significant negative correlation between Katz total score and STAI score averages. As a result, the anxiety levels increase as the home care needs of COPD patients decrease. As the independence of daily living activities of COPD patients increases, the level of anxiety is decreasing.
