Abstract Background The COVID-19 has caused significant toll over the globe. Pregnant women are at risk of infection. The present study examined the frequency of washing hands with soap and wearing face mask when going out, prevalence of depression and anxiety, and identified their associated factors among pregnant women during the early phase of COVID-19 outbreak in China. Methods A cross-sectional online survey was conducted between 24 February and 3 March 2020. A total of 15 428 pregnant women who were using maternal health care services in China completed a questionnaire which assessed their socio-demographic and pregnancy-related characteristics, contextual, cognitive and social factors related to COVID-19, frequency of washing hands and wearing face masks, and depression and anxiety. Logistics regression analyses were performed to identify the associated factors of preventive behaviours and mental health. Results The prevalence of probable anxiety and depression was 28.2% and 43.6% respectively. 19.8% reported always wearing face mask when going out, and 19.1% reported washing hands with soap for more than 10 times per day. Results from logistic regression analyses showed that older age was associated with lower levels of depression and anxiety (OR = 0.42–0.67) and higher frequency of washing hands (OR = 1.57–3.40). Higher level of education level was associated with probable depression (OR = 1.31–1.45) and higher frequency of wearing face mask (OR = 1.50–1.57). After adjusting for significant socio-demographic and pregnancy-related factors, place of residence being locked down (aOR = 1.10–1.11), being quarantined (aOR = 1.42–1.57), personally knowing someone being infected with COVID-19 (aOR = 1.80–1.92), perception that COVID-19 would pose long term physical harm to human (aOR = 1.25–1.28) were associated with higher levels of depression and anxiety, while the perception that the disease will be under control in the coming month was associated with lower levels of depression and anxiety (aOR = 0.59–0.63) and lower tendency of always wearing face mask (aOR = 0.85). Social support was associated with lower levels of depression and anxiety (aOR = 0.86–0,87) and higher frequency of washing hands (aOR = 1.06). Conclusions The mental health and preventive behaviours of pregnant women during COVID-19 outbreak was associated with a range of socio-demographic, pregnancy-related, contextual, cognitive and social factors. Interventions to mitigate their mental health problems and to promote preventive behaviours are highly warranted.

Background.Poststroke fatigue (PSF) is a frequent, disabling symptom that lacks a consensual definition and a standardized evaluation method. The (multiple) causes of PSF have not been formally characterized.Objective.To identify factors associated with PSF.Method.A systematic review of articles referenced in MEDLINE. Only original studies having measured PSF and potentially associated factors were included. Data was extracted from articles using predefined data fields.Results.Although PSF tends to be more frequent in female patients and older patients, sociodemographic factors do not appear to have a major impact. There are strong associations between PSF and emotional disturbances (such as depression and anxiety). PSF may also be linked to attentional disturbances (mainly slowing in processing speed). The literature data have failed to demonstrate a clear impact of the type and severity of stroke. It has been suggested that PSF results from alterations in the frontothalamostriatal system and/or inflammatory processes. Pain, sleep disorders, and prestroke fatigue also appeared to be associated with PSF.Implications.A better understanding of PSF may improve stroke patient care and facilitate the development of effective treatments.

Background: Cancer patients are at high risk for suicide, particularly, when they are informed about the cancer diagnosis. However, there is a limited study in Ethiopia therefore, assessing suicidal ideation, attempt, and its associated factors are needed for intervention. Methods: An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March to June 2019 at Ayder comprehensive specialized hospital with a total of 297 participants. Suicide module of the World Mental Health (WMH) survey initiative version adopted from the World Health Organization (WHO) and used to assess suicidal ideation and attempt. Binary logistic regression analysis employed to identify factors associated with suicidal ideation and attempt. Odds ratio with 95% CI and P-value <0.05 was applied to identify significantly associated factors. Results: The lifetime prevalence of suicidal ideation and the attempt was found to be 27.9% [95%CI (22.3, 31.6)] and 8.4% [95%CI (5.2, 10.3)] respectively. Being female [AOR= 2.23, 95%CI (1.27, 3.92)], stage IV cancer [AOR=2.08, 95%CI(1.47, 3.81)], having depression and anxiety [AOR=2.31, 95%CI(1.24,4.32)], poor social support [AOR=3.70, 95%CI(2.01,6.78)], and level 4 performance status [AOR=3.73, 95%CI(1.71, 8.13)] were the factors associated with lifetime suicidal ideation. While being in level 4, performance status was also significantly associated with suicidal attempt. Conclusion: Both suicidal ideation and attempt among cancer patients are high. The suicidal ideation had a statistical association with sex, stage of cancer, having depression and anxiety, social support, and level of performance. Therefore, health education for early screening and treatment for depression and anxiety, and giving social support are crucial for the reduction of suicide.

Abstract Background Depression and anxiety are common psychiatric complications affecting patients with diabetes mellitus. However, data on the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and associated factors among Malaysian diabetic patients is scarce. The Anxiety, Depression, and Personality Traits in Diabetes Mellitus (ADAPT-DM) study aimed to determine the prevalence of depression and anxiety, and their associated factors in the Malaysian diabetic population. Methods This cross-sectional study recruited 300 diabetic patients via convenience sampling from the Endocrine outpatient clinic of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre, a tertiary referral healthcare facility in Kuala Lumpur. Socio-demographic characteristics and clinical history were obtained from each participant. The Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) was administered to assess anxiety symptoms, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) to assess depressive symptoms, the Big Five Inventory (BFI) to evaluate personality traits, and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) to measure quality of life (QOL). Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the association between various factors, and depression and anxiety. Results The prevalence of depression was 20% (n = 60) while anxiety was 9% (n = 27). Co-morbid depression (adjusted OR = 24.91, 95% CI = 5.67–109.42, p < 0.001), neuroticism (adjusted OR = 9.24, 95% CI = 2.03–42.03, p = 0.004), and greater physical health-related QOL (adjusted OR = 1.67, 95% CI = 1.07–2.59, p = 0.024) increased the odds of developing anxiety, while psychological QOL (adjusted OR = 0.41, 95% CI = 0.21–0.79, p = 0.008) was protective. Co-morbid anxiety (adjusted OR = 20.06, 95% CI = 4.70–85.57, p < 0.001) increased the odds of depression, while older age (adjusted OR = 0.96, 95% CI = 0.92–0.99, p = 0.012), regular religious practice (adjusted OR= 0.08, 95% CI= 0.01-0.56, p= 0.011) and physical health-related QOL (adjusted OR = 0.72, 95% CI = 0.59–0.89, p = 0.002) were protective. Conclusions The study findings signify the need to screen for co-morbid depression and anxiety, as well as personality traits and QOL, and to include psychosocial interventions when planning a multidisciplinary approach to managing diabetes.

Background: The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has contributed to depression and anxiety among the general population in China. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of these psychological problems among Chinese adults during the period of low transmission, which could reflect the long-term depression and anxiety of the COVID-19 outbreak.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in China from 4 to 26 February 2021. Convenient sampling strategy was adopted to recruit participators. Participants were asked to filled out the questions that assessed questionnaire on the residents’ depression and anxiety.Results: A total of 2,361 residents filled out the questionnaire. The mean age was 29.72 years (SD = 6.94) and majority of respondents were female (60.10%). Among the respondents, 421 (17.83%), 1470 (62.26%), and 470 (19.91%) were from eastern, central, and western China, respectively. 1704 (72.17%) consented COVID-19 information has been disclosed timely. 142 (6.01%) and 130 (5.51%) patients suffered from depression and anxiety symptoms. Furthermore, some influencing factors were found, including marital status, place of residence, employment status.Conclusion: This study revealed that anxiety and depression still are potential depression and anxiety for some residents, which suggested early recognition and initiation of interventions during the period of low transmission is still indispensable.

Abstract Objectives: to identify the prevalence of neonatal near miss morbidity in the city of Joinville, SC and the associated factors. Methods: a populational based cross-sectional study including all live births in 2012 registered at SINASC. The near miss cases were identified based on the weight <1500g, Apgar scores at 5th minute <7, gestational age <32 weeks, use of mechanical ventilation or presence of congenital malformation. The gross odds ratios (OR) and its respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated and the logistic regression was performed to obtain the adjusted odds ratios and its respective 95% CI. Results: the prevalence of near miss was 33 per thousand live births (95% CI: 29-37). In the final model, a risk classification of live births according to the City Program (Programa Municipal) (ORaj= 19.7; 95% CI: 14.2 to 27.2), cesarean section (ORaj= 2.1; 95% CI:1.5 to 2.8) and public hospital (ORaj= 1.7; 95% CI: 1.2 to 2.3) remained associated to morbidity near miss. Conclusions: near miss morbidity was 7.3 times higher than neonatal mortality. To know its determinants in different national contexts may include some changes in the focus of public health actions by redirecting to preventive interventions.

Background:Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are both chronic, progressive inflammatory arthritis that can cause significant disability and morbidity. Depression in RA has been associated with higher levels of disease activity, pain, fatigue, work disability, lower treatment compliance and increased suicidal risk and mortality [1]. PsA patients suffer from psoriasis and joint involvement; hence have greater odds of depression by 2.1 times compared with RA [2].Objectives:To compare the prevalence rates of depression and anxiety and its associated factors between RA and PsA patients in Hospital Putrajaya.Methods:A cross sectional survey using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire were distributed to 300 patients who attended rheumatology outpatient clinic from February – April 2019. The HADS was categorized into 3 groups based on their scores 0-7 (Normal); 8-10 (Borderline); and 11-21 (Abnormal). Data on patient demographics and components of disease assessment scores were recorded. Disease activity was assessed using DAS 28-CRP for all patients. Additional evaluation using Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (BASDAI) and body surface area (BSA) were done for PsA patients. P value of < 0.05 was taken as significant.Results:In total, 205 RA and 73 PsA patients were eligible for analysis. Majority of the patients were female, Malay and married for both groups. The mean age group for RA and PsA were 56.2 ± 11.9 years and 51.0 ± 14.6 years. The mean duration of disease for RA were 8 ± 10 years; while for PsA were 6 ± 11 years. The prevalence rates of depression and anxiety for RA were 8.3% and 13.7%; and PsA were 9.6% and 17.8% respectively. Borderline scores for depression occurred in 16.1% of RA patients and 12.3% for PsA. Twenty percent of RA patients (n=41) and twenty-four percent of PsA patients (n=18) scored borderline for anxiety. The significant positive correlations with depression and anxiety in RA include high disease activity scores (r = 0.27; r = 0.31), number of tender joints (r = 0.26; r = 0.24) and pain (r = 0.29; r = 0.27). Higher number of swollen joints significantly correlated with depression (r = 0.16) but not with anxiety. RA patients with Ischaemic Heart Disease (IHD) ± heart failure have higher depression scores (p < 0.05). As for PsA group, high BASDAI score (anxiety: r = 0.34, depression: r = 0.26) and psoriasis involving head and neck region (p < 0.05) were significant associated factors. Age was inversely correlated with anxiety in the PsA group.Conclusion:There is higher prevalence of anxiety in both RA and PsA as compared to depression. Higher disease activity scores were associated with depression and anxiety in both RA and PsA with axial involvement.References:[1]Faith Matcham et al. “Are depression and anxiety associated with disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis?

Irritable Mood

SummaryThe heading of ‘Irritable Mood’ was introduced into the Index Medicus in 1985 and it is noted that this term is frequently used but seldom defined. It is therefore important that a consensus is reached concerning its definition in the context of psychopathology and a definition is offered. It seems important to distinguish irritable mood and its outward manifestations from violently assaultive behaviour although there may be a continuum of disturbance from mildly to severely disordered behaviour. Irritability has so far not attracted much attention from clinicians and yet it is a common mood associated with many psychiatric and non-psychiatric conditions. Severe irritability may cause considerable distress both to the patient, his associates and sometimes also those attempting to treat or otherwise help him. It may overshadow other symptoms and the correct diagnosis and management may be missed. The validity and reliability of a convenient self-assessment scale is re-examined in the light of further data. Data from previous studies in the context of mood disorders suggests that irritability is a mood state which is independent of the other major moods of depression and anxiety; the severity of irritability probably has an inverse correlation with age. The most important associated factors are listed in order to inform researchers of the possible methodological pitfalls.
