Prevalence Of Depression

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are at high risk of depressive disorders because of considerable psychological stress due to physical and social changes brought on by disease. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of depression in patients with CKD and the factors affecting it at a public tertiary care hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at the renal clinic of a tertiary care hospital. Data on 629 patients diagnosed with CKD from September 2014 to April 2016 was obtained. Nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire from PRIME-MD was used to assess the depression. Results: Of all the patients, 44.7% had depression. Mild depression was found to affect 28.9% of the patients followed by moderate depression and severe depression (15.4% and 0.4%, respectively). According to multiple logistic regression, the occurrence of depression was significantly higher with age below 60 years [odds ratio (OR) 1.5, 0.9–2.7; P<0.05], male gender (OR 1.4, 1.0–3.1; P<0.05), no treatment funding (OR 2.7, 1.3–4.6; P<0.05), education less than grade 12 (OR 1.3, 1.3–3.2; P<0.05), monthly income ≤INR 20,000 (OR 1.6, 1.1–3.6; P<0.05), CKD stage V (OR 1.4 1.0– 2.9; P <0.05), Patients on hemodialysis (HD) (OR 2.5, 1.2–4.5; P<0.05), comorbidities ≥3 (OR 1.6, 1.3–3.0; P<0.05), overweight (OR 2.4, 1.3–2.9; P<0.05), and duration of CKD >2 (OR 2.4, 1.4–4.4; P<0.05). Conclusion: About 44.7% of the patients were found to have depression. Patients’ age, gender, body mass index, treatment funding, education status, income, CKD duration and stage, HD status, and comorbidities were found to be significant factors affecting depression.

Background & Objective: The massive burden of COVID-19 disease is believed to be associated with significant psychological disturbances on healthcare professionals. Increasing levels of stress may lead to anxiety, depression, burnout syndrome, and in severe cases, post-traumatic stress disorder. The objective of this study was to examine the presence of stress among resident trainee doctors working in a tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia in the context of the corona pandemic. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Security Forces Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We included the resident trainee doctors from different specialties of our hospital including medical, surgical, anesthesia, emergency room (ER), and critical care units. We used convenience sampling to select study respondents. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) was used for assessing the stress levels among trainees. Trainees were requested to fill the questionnaire either online survey monkey or in paper form. All data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version 26. We calculated mean, standard deviation, frequency count, and percentages for the perceived stress. Results: A total of 60 trainees were included in this study. Mean PSS-10 score was 20 ± 5.51, with a range between 6 and 34. Four (6.7 %) trainees had low stress and 50 (83.3 %) trainees had moderate stress while 6 (10 %) trainees had high stress Conclusion: The majority of resident trainees in our study experienced a moderate level of anxiety during this COVID pandemic. Key words: Stress, Resident trainees, COVID-19, pandemic Citation:  ul Huda A, Yasir M, Saulat SA, AlShaqha MW.
