A cross-sectional study.
The Death Depression Scale (DDS) was administered to seven groups (N = 765) of Egyptian normal (non-clinical) patients, anxiety outpatients, schizophrenic inpatients (men and women) and addicts (men only) in individual sessions.
Anxiety outpatients of both sexes obtained significantly and greatly higher death depression scores than did the other five groups, whereas the male schizophrenics, the male addicts, and the male and female non-clinical groups had the lowest death depression scores. Female schizophrenics obtained a significantly higher death depression scores than did male schizophrenics, addicts and non-clinical participants. Female anxiety outpatients and schizophrenics had higher death depression mean scores than did their male counterparts.
The present finding is consistent, in general, with previous studies on death anxiety and death obsession. What applied to death anxiety was consistent also with death depression and death obsession. That is, the death distress concept.
横断面研究。
对七组(N=765)埃及正常(非临床)患者进行了死亡抑郁量表(DDS),焦虑门诊患者,个别会议中的精神分裂症住院患者(男性和女性)和成瘾者(仅限男性)。
焦虑门诊男女患者的死亡抑郁评分明显高于其他五组,而男性精神分裂症患者,男性瘾君子,男性和女性非临床组的死亡抑郁评分最低.女性精神分裂症患者的死亡抑郁评分明显高于男性精神分裂症患者,成瘾者和非临床参与者。女性焦虑症门诊患者和精神分裂症患者的死亡抑郁平均得分高于男性。
目前的发现是一致的,总的来说,与先前关于死亡焦虑和死亡痴迷的研究。适用于死亡焦虑的方法也与死亡抑郁和死亡痴迷相一致。也就是说,死亡困扰的概念。
