■抑郁症是全球主要公共卫生问题的主要原因,它的频率一直在增加,特别是在低收入和中等收入国家。撒哈拉以南非洲的抑郁症患病率为15%至30%。在埃塞俄比亚,抑郁症被认为是疾病负担的第七大原因,然而在西Shewa还没有做过研究,埃塞俄比亚。因此,这项研究旨在评估在安博大学转诊医院接受治疗的成人骨科门诊患者的抑郁程度和相关因素,WestShewa,奥罗米亚,埃塞俄比亚,2023年。
■在2023年1月1日至30日的391名成年骨科患者中进行了一项基于机构的横断面研究。采用系统随机抽样技术选择研究对象。数据是通过面对面访谈和图表审查技术使用结构化问卷和清单收集的。将收集到的数据输入到Epi数据中,4.6版,然后导出到SPSS,版本26.0,用于统计分析。拟合二元Logistic回归模型,并采用双变量和多变量逻辑回归分析。
■抑郁的程度为38.9%(95%CI:34.5%,43.9%),为女性[调整后优势比(AOR)=2.41;95%置信区间(CI):1.45-4.00],咀嚼聊天(AOR=2.39;95%CI:1.29-4.43),下肢无疾病(AOR=0.24;95%CI:0.07-0.85),有韧带损伤(AOR=2.62;95%CI:1.23-5.59),无并发症(AOR=0.07;95%CI:0.01-0.52),截肢(AOR=3.83;95%CI:2.09-7.00)与抑郁症显著相关。
该研究发现,骨科患者中抑郁症的患病率相当高;近一半的参与者在安博大学转诊医院患上抑郁症,作为女性,咀嚼聊天,下肢没有疾病,韧带受伤,有并发症,截肢与抑郁症显著相关。因此,为了解决这个问题,需要有关机构给予足够的关注。
UNASSIGNED: Depression is a leading cause of major public health problems globally, and its frequency has been increasing, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries. The prevalence of depression in sub-Saharan Africa ranges from 15 to 30%. In Ethiopia, depression is found to be the seventh leading cause of disease burden, yet no study was done in West Shewa, Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the magnitude of depression and associated factors among adult orthopedic outpatients getting treatment at Ambo University Referral Hospital, West Shewa, Oromia, Ethiopia, in 2023.
UNASSIGNED: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 391 adult orthopedic patients from January 1-30, 2023. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select the study subjects. The data were collected by using a structured questionnaire and checklist through face-to-face interviews and chart review techniques. The collected data were entered into Epi-data, version 4.6, and then exported to SPSS, version 26.0, for statistical analysis. The binary logistic regression model was fitted, and both bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed.
UNASSIGNED: The magnitude of depression was found to be 38.9% (95% CI: 34.5%, 43.9%), being female [adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=2.41; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.45-4.00], chewing chat (AOR=2.39; 95% CI: 1.29-4.43), and no disorder on the lower limb (AOR=0.24; 95% CI: 0.07-0.85), had ligament injury (AOR=2.62; 95% CI: 1.23-5.59), had no complication (AOR=0.07; 95% CI: 0.01-0.52), and had amputation (AOR=3.83; 95% CI: 2.09-7.00) were significantly associated with depression.
UNASSIGNED: The study found that the prevalence of depression among orthopedic patients was considerable; nearly half of the participants developed depression at Ambo University Referral Hospital, and being female, chewing chat, having no disorder on the lower limb, having a ligament injury, having a complication, and being amputated were significantly associated with depression. Therefore, due attention is needed from concerned bodies in order to tackle this problem.
