Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Adolescent depression is a substantial health concern nowadays, and perceived social support determines the outcome. Lack of research on depression amongst Malaysian younger group of adolescents, puts them at risk of being under diagnosed and under treated. Furthermore, the function of various social supports for depression in early adolescents is less explored. The primary objective of this study was to determine the level of support for adolescent depression from five different sources: i) parents, ii) teachers, iii) close friends, iv) classmates, and v) others in school. The secondary objective is to study the prevalence of depression amongst primary school adolescents and establish their association and the other factors that influence depression. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study involving 576 adolescents between the ages of 10-11 year olds were conducted from August 2020 till September 2020 using the Malay Children Depression Inventory (M-CDI) and Malay Child and Adolescent Social Support Scale (M-CASSS). RESULTS: The respondents reported that teachers were the most supportive. Approximately 131 (22.7%) of them had depressive symptoms. Only parental support significantly reduced their risk of developing depression. Having a single parent household, being bullied, emotional abuse, and performing poorly in school increased the likelihood of developing depression. CONCLUSION: Findings from this study, demonstrated the necessity for early depression screening amongst primary school adolescents and the need for stakeholders to continue supporting parents in their efforts to deal with adolescent concerns.

马来西亚吉兰丹马来小学青少年抑郁的感知社会支持来源及相关因素
青少年抑郁症是当今一个重要的健康问题,而感知到的社会支持决定了结果。缺乏对马来西亚年轻青少年群体抑郁症的研究,使他们面临诊断和治疗不足的风险。此外,各种社会支持对青少年早期抑郁的作用研究较少。本研究的主要目的是确定五个不同来源对青少年抑郁症的支持水平:i)父母,ii)老师,iii)亲密朋友,iv)同学,v)学校其他人。第二个目标是研究小学青少年中抑郁症的患病率,并确定它们之间的联系以及影响抑郁症的其他因素。材料和方法:从2020年8月到2020年9月,使用马来儿童抑郁量表(M-CDI)和马来儿童和青少年社会支持量表(M-CASSS)对576名年龄在10-11岁之间的青少年进行了一项横断面研究。结果:被调查者反映教师是最支持的。其中约131人(22.7%)有抑郁症状。只有父母的支持才能显著降低他们患抑郁症的风险。单亲家庭,被欺负,情感虐待,在学校表现不佳增加了患抑郁症的可能性。结论:本研究的结果表明,在小学青少年中进行早期抑郁筛查的必要性,以及利益相关者继续支持父母努力处理青少年问题的必要性。
