The community-based cross-sectional study design was applied from August 06 to 30, 2021 in all Weredas of Tigray. A total of 1,990 cIDP were recruited through a two-stage sampling technique. A structured and standardized questionnaire was used to collect data. Both bivariate and multivariable logistic regression was applied to identify associated risk factors and AOR with 95% confidence interval was used to select statistically significant variables.
The prevalence of depression among internally displaced people was 81.2% (95% CI: 79.4-83%), with more than 60% categorized as moderate and severe depression.

方法:基于社区的横断面研究设计于2021年8月6日至30日在Tigray的所有Weredas中应用。通过两阶段抽样技术共招募了1,990名cIDP。使用结构化和标准化的问卷来收集数据。应用双变量和多变量逻辑回归来识别相关的危险因素,并使用具有95%置信区间的AOR来选择具有统计学意义的变量。
结果:国内流离失所者的抑郁症患病率为81.2%(95%CI:79.4-83%),超过60%被归类为中度和重度抑郁症。已婚和离婚的婚姻状况,作为政府雇员,家庭规模>=4,家庭固定资产破坏,掠夺谷物,和有残疾的家庭成员由于战争是抑郁症的显著相关的危险因素。
结论:与其他地方进行的其他研究相比,在提格雷战争期间,社区国内流离失所者的抑郁症患病率非常高。10名国内流离失所者中几乎有8名患有抑郁症,这是一个非常系列的健康问题,需要当地立即干预,世界各地的国际组织和社区。
