Introduction: Arthritis is a degenerative joint disease with many forms, but osteoarthritis is most common resulting from trauma or infection to the joint or aging. Depressive disorders often go undiagnosed especially in chronic physical illnesses like osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritic pain is associated with a high risk of depressive illness. This study evaluated the prevalence of major depression and its relationship with physical pain among patients with osteoarthritis. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 134 adult outpatients, with osteoarthritis at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital. The demographic profile, subjective pain intensity, and diagnosis of major depression were obtained with a sociodemographic questionnaire, Visual Analog Pain Scale, and depressive module of Composite International Diagnostic Interview, respectively. Results: Thirty-seven (27.61%) and 40 (29.85%) participants had current and 12-month depressive disorder, respectively. A unit (year) increase in the illness duration was associated with a 68% increase in the likelihood of having depression (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.68, P = 0.044), while the presence of comorbidity was the only independent correlate of 12-month depression among the participants (aOR 0.11, P = 0.031). Subjective pain severity had no independent correlation with depressive disorder. Conclusion: Major depression is prevalent among patients with osteoarthritis. Clinicians should have a high index of suspicion of depressive disorder, especially in the presence of medical comorbidities and longer duration of illness.
简介:关节炎是一种退行性关节疾病,有多种形式,但骨关节炎最常见的原因是关节创伤或感染或衰老。抑郁症经常得不到诊断,尤其是在骨关节炎等慢性身体疾病中。骨关节炎疼痛与抑郁症的高风险相关。本研究评估了骨关节炎患者严重抑郁的患病率及其与身体疼痛的关系。方法:这是一项横断面研究,涉及贝宁大学教学医院134名骨关节炎成年门诊患者。使用社会人口学问卷、视觉模拟疼痛量表和国际诊断访谈的抑郁模块分别获得人口统计学特征、主观疼痛强度和重度抑郁症的诊断。结果:37名(27.61%)和40名(29.85%)参与者分别患有当前和12个月的抑郁症。患病时间的单位(年)增加与患抑郁症的可能性增加68%有关(调整后的比值比[aOR]1.68,P=0.044),而共病的存在是参与者中12个月抑郁症的唯一独立相关性(aOR0.11,P=0.031)。主观疼痛严重程度与抑郁障碍没有独立相关性。结论:重度抑郁症在骨关节炎患者中普遍存在。临床医生应该对抑郁症有很高的怀疑指数,尤其是在存在医学合并症和疾病持续时间较长的情况下。

Willingness to vaccinate against COVID-19 might be systematically underestimated 接种新冠肺炎疫苗的意愿可能被系统性低估

Estimations of the willingness to vaccinate against COVID-19 are important to plan the vaccination process and also to coordinate efforts to reach herd immunity.Aims and Objectives: In this article, we test standard measures of vaccination willingness against systematic biases caused by misunderstandings and lack of information. We use a survey among 730 persons living in Germany at the start of the official vaccination program. We elicit willingness to vaccinate first in a standard form, and then again after clarifications and after providing additional information. We find that a substantial number of persons who state initially that they do not want to get vaccinated does so simply because they want to let people with higher risk be vaccinated first. Appropriately rephrasing the question increases the willingness by around 5 percentage points. Information about herd immunity increases the willingness by additional 7%, confirming previous findings. Standard survey-based estimates of vaccination willingness might underestimate the real number of persons who want to get a vaccination. This number can be increased even further by simply providing appropriate information on herd immunity. In our sample this increased vaccination willingness from 71.4% to 83.6%.
估计接种新冠肺炎疫苗的意愿对于规划疫苗接种过程以及协调实现群体免疫的努力都很重要。目的和目的:在这篇文章中,我们测试了疫苗接种意愿的标准衡量标准,以对抗由误解和信息缺乏引起的系统性偏见。我们在正式疫苗接种计划开始时对730名居住在德国的人进行了调查。我们首先以标准形式征求接种疫苗的意愿,然后在澄清和提供额外信息后再次征求。我们发现,相当多的人最初表示不想接种疫苗,只是因为他们想让风险较高的人先接种疫苗。适当地重新表述问题会使意愿提高约5个百分点。关于群体免疫的信息使意愿增加了7%,证实了之前的发现。基于标准调查的疫苗接种意愿估计可能低估了想要接种疫苗的真实人数。只要提供适当的群体免疫信息,这个数字就可以进一步增加。在我们的样本中,这将疫苗接种意愿从71.4%提高到83.6%。

Introduction: Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) is truly a multidimensional issue having long-lasting effect on subject's physical and psychological health. The study was conducted with an aim to study various aspects of self-reported childhood sexual abuse in a sample of students from South India. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out during July to September 2018 among 399 students of two colleges located at Puducherry using a self-administered questionnaire. The desired sample size was calculated considering the proportion of college students suffered from childhood sexual abuse as 53.2%. In each college, the line listing of students from 1st year to final year was done and simple random sampling technique was used for selecting the study subjects. The study was initiated after obtaining institutional ethical approval, and every student was ensured of complete confidentiality and privacy. Results: Of total 399 students, 130 (32.7%) students reported experiencing one or other form of CSA. Majority (40.0%) did not inform or share the instance of CSA to anyone. Fear of negative consequences (48.1%) and feelings of guilt (32.7%) were two top most factors that made them not to inform such abuse to their family members. Conclusion: Approximately one-third of students reported an incident of sexual abuse at least once in his/her life in Puducherry; thus, roots of CSA are deep in the society in which we live.
引言:儿童性虐待确实是一个多层面的问题,对受试者的身心健康有着长期的影响。这项研究旨在对来自南印度的学生样本进行自我报告的儿童性虐待的各个方面的研究。方法:这项横断面研究于2018年7月至9月在普杜切里两所学院的399名学生中进行,使用自行问卷。考虑到遭受童年性虐待的大学生比例为53.2%,计算出了所需的样本量。在每个学院,对从一年级到大四的学生进行了线性列表,并使用简单的随机抽样技术来选择研究对象。这项研究是在获得机构伦理批准后开始的,每个学生都被确保完全保密和隐私。结果:在399名学生中,130名(32.7%)学生报告经历了一种或其他形式的CSA。大多数人(40.0%)没有向任何人告知或分享CSA的情况。对负面后果的恐惧(48.1%)和内疚感(32.7%)是促使他们不向家人告知此类虐待的两个最重要因素。结论:大约三分之一的学生报告说,在普杜切里,他/她一生中至少发生过一次性虐待事件;因此,CSA的根源深深植根于我们所生活的社会。

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had different effects on different occupations. The present study was designed to systematically review the available evidence to investigate the pandemic on occupational effects. The academic databases of Scopus, PubMed Central, ProQuest, Science Direct, and ISI Web of Knowledge were searched systematically between December 2019 and February 2021. COVID-19-related fear, concern, worry, anxiety, and stress in combination with job-related MeSH terms were used to search the databases. The methodological quality of included papers was assessed using the Newcastle Ottawa Scale checklist. To synthesize data, a qualitative synthesis of findings was performed due to the small number of included studies (n = 4) and the heterogeneity of the assessed outcomes. Four studies were included in the final analysis. All four studies were cross-sectional, collected the data online, and comprised 1654 participants from four different countries. Fear of COVID-19 was associated with increased future career anxiety, perceived job insecurity, organizational and professional turnover intentions, and decreased job satisfaction. COVID-19 Anxiety Syndrome was associated with scores on the Work and Social Adjustment Scale. As so few studies have been conducted, there are no conclusive findings. More studies using valid and reliable measures to assess fear/anxiety related to COVID-19 and its' association with job attributes are needed. It is also recommended that these associations are examined in variety of different jobs.
2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行对不同职业产生了不同的影响。本研究旨在系统地审查现有证据,以调查大流行对职业的影响。系统检索了Scopus、PubMed Central、ProQuest、Science Direct和ISI Web of Knowledge等学术数据库,检索时间为2019年12月至2021年2月。使用与covid -19相关的恐惧、担忧、担心、焦虑和压力结合与工作相关的MeSH术语搜索数据库。纳入论文的方法学质量采用纽卡斯尔渥太华量表检查表进行评估。为了综合数据,由于纳入的研究数量较少(n = 4)和评估结果的异质性,对研究结果进行了定性综合。四项研究被纳入最终分析。所有四项研究都是横断面的,在线收集数据,包括来自四个不同国家的1654名参与者。对COVID-19的恐惧与未来职业焦虑增加、感知到的工作不安全感、组织和专业人员离职意愿以及工作满意度下降有关。COVID-19焦虑综合征与工作和社会适应量表的得分有关。由于进行的研究很少,因此没有结论性的发现。需要更多的研究使用有效和可靠的措施来评估与COVID-19相关的恐惧/焦虑及其与工作属性的关联。还建议在各种不同的工作中检查这些联系。

Introduction: The Internet has become an integral part of our lives and tool for social interaction and communication and it is becoming worrisome; Internet use among students is assuming a dimension of profound preoccupation over other activities of daily living. Internet addiction (IA) may raise risk for sleep problem, and contribute to the development of some psychiatric disorders and worsening mental health. The aim of this study was to study the interrelationship between IA and psychological well-being of medical students. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at the Ekiti State University College of Medicine among both preclinical and clinical medical students. The study population was the entire medical students. A total of 129 study participants (86 clinical and 43 preclinical students) were purposively enrolled, 83 males and 46 females. Data were collected from the students using a questionnaire that comprised four components: (i) Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale, (ii) Young IA Test (YIAT), (iii) World Health Organization Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, and (iv) Insomnia Severity Index. Results: About half (51.9%) of the students who engaged the Internet dwelled on social media. Moreover, the least reason for using the Internet was for their academic assignments. Twenty-two (17.1%) of the participants scored below the minimum score for addiction on YIAT. This study revealed a statistically insignificant negative correlation between the pairs of IA score and mental well-being (r = −121, P = 0.198) and alcohol use and mental well-being (r = −0.10, P = 0.279). There existed a statistically significant positive correlation between IA and insomnia (r = 0.320, P = 0.000) and IA and alcohol use (r = 0.428, P = 0.000). There was an insignificant positive relationship between alcohol use and insomnia (r = 0.072, P = 0.414). Conclusion: IA and its associated problems among students would require earnest intervention to curb problematic use in order to attain good mental well-being.
引言:互联网已经成为我们生活中不可分割的一部分,成为社会互动和交流的工具,它正在变得令人担忧;学生对互联网的使用呈现出对日常生活中其他活动的高度关注。网络成瘾(IA)可能会增加睡眠问题的风险,并导致一些精神障碍的发展和心理健康的恶化。本研究的目的是研究IA与医学生心理健康之间的相互关系。方法:这项横断面研究在埃基提州立大学医学院对临床前和临床医学生进行。研究人群是整个医学院的学生。共有129名研究参与者(86名临床和43名临床前学生)被有意招募,其中83名为男性,46名为女性。使用由四个组成部分组成的问卷从学生中收集数据:(i)沃里克-爱丁堡心理健康量表,(ii)青少年IA测试(YIAT),(iii)世界卫生组织酒精使用障碍识别测试,以及(iv)失眠严重程度指数。结果:约有一半(51.9%)的上网学生使用社交媒体。此外,使用互联网的最小原因是他们的学术任务。二十二名(17.1%)参与者在YIAT上的成瘾评分低于最低分。本研究显示,IA评分与心理健康(r=−121,P=0.198)、饮酒与心理健康之间存在统计学上不显著的负相关(r=–0.10,P=0.279)。IA与失眠(r=0.320,P=0.000)、IA与饮酒(r=0.428,P=.000)之间存在统计学显著的正相关饮酒与失眠呈正相关(r=0.072,P=0.414)。结论:学生IA及其相关问题需要认真干预,遏制问题性饮酒,以获得良好的心理健康。

Introduction: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a global threat and has affected physical as well as mental health adversely. There had been an exponential rise in COVID-19 cases in India from May to October 2020. Isolation, hospitalization, and stigmatization were significant issues in COVID-19 crisis. The literature is sparse on the mental health effects on hospitalized COVID-19 patients. This study aimed to describe the psychological consequences and coping strategies of COVID-19 patients admitted to tertiary health-care hospital. The objectives were (1) to assess the psychological consequences in COVID-19 patients admitted to our hospital, (2) to assess the coping strategies in these COVID-19 patients, and (3) to find correlations of sociodemographic characteristics, psychological consequences, and coping strategies of these COVID-19 patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional qualitative study, 100 patients hospitalized for COVID-19 infection participated. In-depth interviews were conducted using semi-structured questionnaire. The narratives were coded into themes and correlations of variables generated were done using Chi-square test. Results: The most common themes about the psychological state of patients were loneliness and isolation (56%), adjustment issues in the hospital (54%), and concerns about family members (32%). Patients who had family members also suffering from COVID-19 illness (24%) had more concerns about their health (Chi-square 25.209, P = 0.00) and had worries of their future (Chi-square 7.023, P = 0.008). Females had more worries about family members (Chi-square 16.295, P = 0.00) and had more concerns about their own health (Chi-square 5.71, P = 0.01). The most common coping strategies used by patients were digital communication with family members (82%), distraction (58%), and communicating with other co-patients (30%) to deal with their psychological distress. Conclusion: COVID-19 infection leads to psychological distress due to multiple factors. Timely interventions with support for effective coping mechanisms can help in alleviating the distress.
导言:冠状病毒病-2019 (COVID-19)大流行是一种全球性威胁,对身心健康产生了不利影响。从2020年5月到10月,印度的COVID-19病例呈指数级增长。隔离、住院和污名化是COVID-19危机中的重要问题。关于COVID-19住院患者心理健康影响的文献很少。本研究旨在描述三级医院新冠肺炎住院患者的心理后果和应对策略。目的:(1)评估入院的新冠肺炎患者的心理后果,(2)评估这些患者的应对策略,(3)发现这些患者的社会人口学特征、心理后果和应对策略之间的相关性。方法:采用横断面定性研究方法,对100例COVID-19感染住院患者进行研究。采用半结构化问卷进行深度访谈。叙事被编码成主题,产生的变量的相关性使用卡方检验。结果:患者心理状态最常见的主题是孤独和孤立(56%)、医院适应问题(54%)和对家庭成员的担忧(32%)。家庭成员同时患有新冠肺炎的患者(24%)更担心自己的健康(卡方25.209,P = 0.00),更担心自己的未来(卡方7.023,P = 0.008)。女性更担心家人(16.295,P = 0.00),更担心自己的健康(5.71,P = 0.01)。患者最常用的应对策略是与家人进行数字沟通(82%)、分散注意力(58%)和与其他共同患者沟通(30%),以应对他们的心理困扰。结论:新型冠状病毒感染导致心理困扰是多种因素共同作用的结果。及时干预并支持有效的应对机制有助于减轻痛苦。

The objectives were (1) to assess the psychological consequences in COVID-19 patients admitted to our hospital, (2) to assess the coping strategies in these COVID-19 patients, and (3) to find correlations of sociodemographic characteristics, psychological consequences, and coping strategies of these COVID-19 patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional qualitative study, 100 patients hospitalized for COVID-19 infection participated. In-depth interviews were conducted using semi-structured questionnaire. The narratives were coded into themes and correlations of variables generated were done using Chi-square test. Results: The most common themes about the psychological state of patients were loneliness and isolation (56%), adjustment issues in the hospital (54%), and concerns about family members (32%). Patients who had family members also suffering from COVID-19 illness (24%) had more concerns about their health (Chi-square 25.209, P = 0.00) and had worries of their future (Chi-square 7.023, P = 0.008). Females had more worries about family members (Chi-square 16.295, P = 0.00) and had more concerns about their own health (Chi-square 5.71, P = 0.01). The most common coping strategies used by patients were digital communication with family members (82%), distraction (58%), and communicating with other co-patients (30%) to deal with their psychological distress. Conclusion: COVID-19 infection leads to psychological distress due to multiple factors. Timely interventions with support for effective coping mechanisms can help in alleviating the distress.","PeriodicalId":34783,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Health and Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44359138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Introduction: As components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), obesity, hypertension, and diabetes have been associated with decreased health-related quality of life (HQoL). The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of HQoL and MetS in Qazvin, Iran. Methods: In a cross-sectional design, 1071 people in Qazvin were identified via multi-stage cluster random sampling. MetS was defined based on the Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. HQoL was assessed using a 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test and analyses of covariance. Results: Of 1071 people, 328 participants had MetS. Mean scores of whole domains of the SF-36 scale in MetS participants was lower than subjects without MetS. Mean scores of physical functioning (74.0 ± 23.4 vs. 82.2 ± 20.1, P < 0.001), bodily pain (61.3 ± 22.7 vs. 65.1 ± 20.6, P = 0.009), and general health (59.4 ± 18.2 vs. 63.5 ± 17.3, P < 0.001) domains were statistically different between participants without MetS and those with MetS. The mean scores of mental domains were not significantly different between the two groups. After adjusting for age and gender, domains of HQoL were not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusion: After adjusting for age and gender, no association was observed between QoL domains and MetS. From a public health perspective, the increasing prevalence of MetS in the Iranian population requires effective health promotion policies and lifestyle modification to improve the patients' HQoL.
作为代谢综合征(MetS)的组成部分,肥胖、高血压和糖尿病与健康相关生活质量(HQoL)下降有关。本研究的目的是调查伊朗Qazvin地区HQoL和MetS之间的关系。方法:采用横断面设计,采用多阶段整群随机抽样的方法对加兹温地区1071人进行抽样调查。MetS是根据成人治疗组III标准定义的。HQoL采用36项简短健康调查问卷(SF-36)进行评估。数据分析采用卡方检验和协方差分析。结果:在1071人中,328人患有MetS。MetS受试者SF-36量表全域平均得分低于非MetS受试者。身体功能(74.0±23.4比82.2±20.1,P < 0.001)、身体疼痛(61.3±22.7比65.1±20.6,P = 0.009)和一般健康(59.4±18.2比63.5±17.3,P < 0.001)领域的平均得分在无MetS和有MetS的参与者之间有统计学差异。两组在心理领域的平均得分无显著差异。在调整年龄和性别后,两组间HQoL的域无显著差异。结论:在调整年龄和性别后,没有观察到生活质量域与MetS之间的关联。从公共卫生的角度来看,伊朗人口中met患病率的增加需要有效的健康促进政策和生活方式的改变,以改善患者的健康生活质量。

In Africa, a systematic appraisal of the associated pattern of psychiatric disorders (PDs) among health-care workers (HCWs) is lacking. We, therefore, aimed to ascertain the pattern of PDs and their associated risk factors among HCWs in Africa during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic. We identified 12 studies for inclusion after searching four databases: Web of Science, PubMed, AJOL, and EBSCOhost for articles written in English from January 2020 to April 2021. Anxiety disorder with rates from 9.5% to 73.3% and depression, 12.5% to 71.9%, were the most reported PDs. Availability of protective gear and information regarding preventive measures reduced the risk of developing any PDs, while psychoactive substance use, history of chronic medical illness, low level of resilience, and low social support increased these risks. A considerable proportion of HCWs manifest various psychological problems such as their counterparts in other parts of the world. Multiple factors were also implicated as risk, albeit associations were not consistently established across the studies. There is a need to increase research capacity tailored to the HCW population's needs in the continent. © 2021 Medknow. All rights reserved.
在非洲,缺乏对卫生保健工作者(HCWs)中精神疾病相关模式的系统评估。因此,我们旨在确定2019冠状病毒病大流行期间非洲卫生保健工作者中pd的模式及其相关危险因素。我们在Web of Science、PubMed、AJOL和EBSCOhost四个数据库中检索了2020年1月至2021年4月的英文文章,确定了12项研究纳入。焦虑症的发病率从9.5%到73.3%,抑郁症的发病率从12.5%到71.9%,是报告最多的pd。获得防护装备和有关预防措施的信息降低了患pd的风险,而使用精神活性物质、有慢性疾病史、适应能力低和社会支持低则增加了患pd的风险。相当一部分卫生保健工表现出与世界其他地区的卫生保健工一样的各种心理问题。多种因素也被认为是风险因素,尽管在所有研究中并没有一致地建立关联。有必要增加适合非洲大陆卫生保健人口需求的研究能力。©2021 Medknow。版权所有。

Introduction: This exploratory cross-sectional study examined the effect of depression on neuropsychological and community function among major depressive disorder (MDD) outpatients without comorbidity in comparison with healthy controls (HCs). Methods: Sixty-nine participants (23 for each group) participated in the study. They were assessed on psychological, neuropsychological function, and community function skills. Results: The results revealed that first episode MDD and recurrent episodes MDD outpatients still have a significantly higher level of depression, impaired mental state, and executive function and worse community function compared with HCs. Intervariable relationships analysis revealed qualitative differences between the three groups. Conclusion: The study provides preliminary evidence that MDD outpatients may need more targeted cognitive and psychosocial interventions to improve their executive and community function skills. Larger-scale studies to increase the validity and generalizability of the pilot data are suggested.
简介:本探索性横断面研究考察了抑郁症对无合并症的重度抑郁症(MDD)门诊患者神经心理和社区功能的影响,并与健康对照组(hc)进行了比较。方法:69名受试者(每组23人)参与研究。对他们进行心理、神经心理功能和社区功能技能评估。结果:首发MDD和复发MDD门诊患者的抑郁水平、精神状态、执行功能和社区功能均明显高于hcc患者。变量间关系分析揭示了三组之间的质的差异。结论:该研究提供了初步证据,表明MDD门诊患者可能需要更多有针对性的认知和社会心理干预,以提高他们的执行和社区功能技能。建议进行更大规模的研究,以提高试点数据的有效性和可推广性。
