Prevalence Of Depression

Background: Depression and anxiety are common problems of cancer patients. They affect importantly the patients’ health, the decision to be treated, and the outcome of the treatment. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of depression and anxiety among cancer patients being treated at Hue University Hospital in 2019 and to reveal its correlation factors. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 104 cancer patients hospitalized for the treatment. Using the CES-DR and GAD-7 scales to assess depression and anxiety disorders. Chisquare Tests and multivariate logistic regression were performed. Results: The rate of depression (CES-DR) and anxiety (GAD-7) was 77.9% and 63.5%, respectively. Multivariate regression analysis showed the correlation of anxiety among cancer patients to stage III, stage IV of cancer, and the presence of difficulty in paying healthcare costs. Whilst, depression had significant associations with gender (female), late stages of cancer (III, IV), and type of cancer (lung cancer, breast cancer, stomach cancer). Conclusions: The prevalence of anxiety and depression was found relatively important in our study among cancer patients. Thus, it is necessary to propose solutions to improve the mental health of cancer patients to increase treatment efficiency.

Background: Patients with chronic diseases and their caregivers are at risk for mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms among cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and their parent caregivers in Iran. Methods: This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was carried out on 96 participants, including 60 patients and 36 parents. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to measure the depression and anxiety in this study. The research site was the Pediatric Respiratory Diseases Research Center of the National Research Institute of Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases in Tehran, Iran. SPSS software (version 22) was used to examine and analyze the raw data. Results: The prevalence of anxiety in patients with a mean incidence of 12.17% was higher than that in parents with a mean incidence of 11.81%. Moreover, the prevalence of depression in patients and parents (10.58%) was almost similar. In the patients’ group, there was a direct and significant relationship between the duration of diagnosis with depression and anxiety; nevertheless, there was an inverse and significant relationship between the patient’s age and anxiety. In the parents’ group, there was a significant inverse association between age and depression, as well as between the duration of diagnosis and anxiety. However, there was no significant relationship between anxiety and depression, neither in the parents’ group nor in the patients’ group. Conclusions: The high prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms among CF patients and their parents indicates the poor mental state of these individuals, which requires planning and implementation of psychological interventions for this group.

Abstract Anxiety and depression continue to be significant comorbidities for people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of anxiety and depression disorder among HIV patients at Conakry, Guinea. In this cross-sectional study, we described socio-demographic, clinical and psychosocial data related to anxiety and depression in 160 HIV patients of the University Teaching Hospital, Conakry, Guinea. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used for measuring depression and anxiety in the prior month. The HADS score of ⩾8 was used to identify possible cases of depression and anxiety. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with symptoms of anxiety and depression. The prevalence of comorbid depression and anxiety among HIV patients was 8.1% and the prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms among HIV-infected patients was 13.8% and 16.9%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that individuals having BMI ⩽ 18 (AOR = 3.62, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.37–9.57) and who did not receive antiretroviral treatment (AOR = 18.93, 95% CI 1.88–188.81) were significantly more likely to have depressive symptoms. Similarly, having age <40 years (AOR = 2.81, 95% CI 1.04–7.58) was also significantly associated with anxiety. Prevalence of symptoms of anxiety and depression was high in these HIV patients. This suggests a need for training on the screening and management of anxiety and depression among HIV patients.

Prevalence Of Depression

Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most predominant, chronic disease afflicting globally with its amplifying burden. The association of diabetes with psychological disorders exists with depression and anxiety being the most common, often remains undiagnosed or unidentified eventually leading to a decline in functional abilities and self-care, worsening the health profile of the patients and contributing to both morbidity and mortality. This study explores the association of psychiatric problems with diabetes mellitus and their related risk factors. Objectives: To investigate the association and the prevalence of psychiatric disorders (depression and anxiety) among diabetic patients and access their associated risk factors. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted for six months in 105 diabetic patients from the outpatient department. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to evaluate the symptoms of anxiety and depression. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25.0. Results: Overall 53(50.5%) were observed with the symptoms of anxiety while 45(42.9%) with symptoms of depression respectively. The prevalence of marked anxiety and depression was observed higher in a female. Anxiety and depression were also common among participants with moderate social support. Anxiety and depression were greater among patient who were illiterate (OR=1.50, 95% CI 0.92-5.38), unemployed (OR=7.50, 95% CI 1.29-43.61) with low income (PR=3.09 95% CI 0.92-10.36) and who were retired (OR=6.00, 95% CI 0.81-44.35).Conclusion: The result showed a high prevalence of depression and anxiety among female than in the male. Most of the patients developed moderate or severe anxiety and depression. Various factors such as low income, age, low education, unemployed, uncontrolled diabetes were associated with anxiety and depression. Awareness programs and health education should be conducted. Counseling and appropriate medication should be initiated to reduce future complications.   Key words:

ABSTRACT Background Medical students are a vulnerable population to develop depression and anxiety disorders. Objective To estimate the prevalence and associated factors of anxiety and depression among medical students. Methods A cross-sectional study with a random sample (n = 346) of medical students at a Brazilian university was performed. The Beck Depression Anxiety Inventory was used to measure anxiety and depression levels. Crude and adjusted analyses were performed using Poisson regression. Results The prevalence of anxiety was 35.5% and depression was 32.8%. The prevalence of anxiety and depression was 14% higher and 16% higher among women (p = 0.025 and p = 0.006, respectively). Students whose parents were not physicians reported 23% higher prevalence of anxiety (p = 0.006), and those who had physician parents reported 29% higher prevalence of depression (p = 0.034). Those who always or often felt pushed by their parents showed 22% higher prevalence of anxiety (p =.006) and 19% higher depression (p = 0.016). Students who had concerns over the future had 15% higher prevalence of depression (p = 0.017). Conclusion The prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms was higher than the average found in the general population.

Study Results

AbstractThis observational cross-sectional study of 152 people with HIV (PWH) examined the effects of age and estimated duration of HIV infection (EDI) on depressive and anxiety symptoms. All participants were cisgender men and completed the Profile of Moods State (POMS), a self-report inventory of current (i.e., past week) mood states. Overall, study results confirmed higher levels of anxiety and depression in PWH compared to individuals without HIV. Age group (< 50 or ≥ 50 years) moderated the effect of EDI (< 3 or ≥ 3 years) on mood disturbance. Specifically, younger PWH with early diagnosed infection exhibited the highest levels of depression and anxiety, whereas depression and anxiety were attenuated in older PWH with early infection such that their POMS scores did not significantly differ from the HIV-negative and chronically HIV-infected groups. Despite the small sample size and other important limitations in our study design, our preliminary findings confirm previous observations that older people may have some adaptive ability to better handle the acute psychological stressors associated with recent HIV infection.

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the frequency of depression/anxiety and to establish the social, epilepsy and psychiatric characteristics in individuals with epilepsy. METHOD: A cross-sectional study was employed to evaluate 153 subjects with epilepsy who were identified in a previous community-based survey. First, a structured interview was conducted, followed by a psychiatric evaluation. Subjects with depression were compared to those without, and subjects with anxiety were compared to those without. RESULTS: The prevalence of anxiety and depression was 39.4 and 24.4%, respectively. Both were associated with low schooling (OR 3.8, 95% CI 1.6 to 9.0 and OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.2 to 6.5 for depression and anxiety, respectively), lifetime suicidal thoughts (OR 4.4, 95% CI 1.9 to 10.3 and OR 3.6, 95% CI 1.7 to 7.7) and lifetime suicide attempts (OR 9.3, 95% CI 2.6 to 32.8 and OR 6.9, 95% CI 1.8 to 26.4). CONCLUSION: The high rates of depression and anxiety reinforced the need for recognition and treatment of mental disorders in epilepsy.

Abstract Background and Aims The Chronic kidney disease (CKD), like many chronic illnesses, is invariably associated with various psychiatric conditions and poorer quality of life. This study aims to assess the prevalence of depression and anxiety among CKD patient and their determinant factors. Method this is a cross sectional single center study in a Moroccan university hospital. Patients aged ≥ 18 years old and followed for more than one year were included. The data was collected using a questionnaire for sociodemographic and clinical information and the Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) to assess depression and anxiety prevalence. After the description of the population’s characteristics, the statistical analysis aimed to assess the association between depression and anxiety disorders and the estimated glomerular filtration rate before and after adjustment on several confounding factors. Results 88 patients were included (63.6% of them were women, the mean age was 61.8±14.0 years), 21 were on stage 3, 46 were on stage 4, and 21 were on stage 5 of the CKD. The median of depression sub-score was 5.00[2.00; 10.0], the median of anxiety sub-score was 6.00[4.00; 9.00], and the median of the global score was 11.0[7.00; 20.0], 22.0% of included patients had depression and 22.0% had anxiety. Both depression and anxiety scores were associated to eGFR before and after adjustment (p= 0.001, p&lt;0.001and p=0.04, p=0.03 respectively). Conclusion This study showed that depression and anxiety are strongly related to the CKD progression, which should motivate both doctors and nurses to improve their psychological care toward CKD patients.
