Abstract:
Objective To learn the prevalence and risk factors of depression among H -type hypertension patients and to provide suggestions for early intervention.Methods Self -rating depression scale(SDS)and self -designed general condition questionnaire were used to investigate the prevalence of depression,the risk factors of depression among H -type hypertension patients.The data were analyzed by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results A total of 458 patients who were admitted to our hospital from Jan,2013 to Jan,2014 were enrolled in this study.Of 458 patients,24.45%had depression.The prevalence among males was higher than females (29.81% vs 20.00%,P <0.05),and the prevalence increased with age (P <0.05).Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in age,gender,educational level,family support,complications,courses of disease,systematic therapy,economic conditions and family history of depression between patients with or without depression (P <0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender (OR =1.99,95%CI =1.65 -2.38),educational level (OR =3.77,95%CI =2.93 -5.48)and courses of disease (OR =1.71,95%CI =1.54 -1.90)were independent risk factors of depression.Conclusion The prevalence of depression among H -type hypertension patients is at a high level.It is important to carry out comprehensive intervention for risk factors to prevent depression among patients with H -type hypertension.
