Abstract:
Background: The impact of mental health status on digestive tract symptoms has attracted more attention, however, the mental health status in people with long-term digestive tract symptoms is not yet clear. Aims: To investigate the mental health status of Beijing urban community residents with digestive tract symptoms. Methods: A total of 205 urban community residents who voluntarily participated in the community general examination of digestive tract from March 2016 to December 2017 in six communities around Fuxing Hospital were enrolled, and were divided into digestive tract symptoms group and without digestive tract symptoms group. Symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90) was used to measure the psychological status. Results: Compared with the residents without digestive tract symptoms, score of somatization, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, interpersonal sensitivity, anxiety, hostility were significantly increased in digestive tract symptoms group (P<0.05), however, no significant differences in score of depression, phobia, paranoia and psychiatrics were found between the two groups (P>0.05). Further analysis showed that score of somatization, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, anxiety, hostility were significantly increased in residents with abdominal distention than those without abdominal distention (P<0.05); score of all the 9 factors were significantly increased in residents with acid regurgitation, heartburn, eructation than those without acid regurgitation, heartburn, eructation (P<0.05); score of somatization, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, interpersonal sensitivity, depression were significantly increased in residents with postprandial distress than those without postprandial distress (P<0.05). Education had some effects on somatization, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, hostility in the residents with digestive tract symptoms (P<0.05). Conclusions: The urban community residents with digestive tract symptoms in Beijing have obvious mental health problems when compared with those without digestive tract symptoms, especially somatization and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
