Objective:To explore the prevalence and associated factors of anxiety symptoms among the work-ing population in Shandong Province.Methods:Multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used to recruit 172 396 working individuals aged 18 years or older from various cities of Shandong Province.Participants complete-da demographic questionnaire covering gender,age,education,lifestyle factors,etc.Anxiety symptoms and occupa-tional burnout were assessed with the Self-Rating Scale for Anxiety(SAS)and Burnout Scale(MBI-GS).Corre-lates were analyzed using multifactor logistic regression.Results:The prevalence of anxiety symptoms was 17.0％(25 991/152 759).Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that female(OR=1.17),primary education or below(OR=1.58),divorced(OR=1.24),previous drinking habit(OR=1.23),smoking habit(OR=1.20),poor physical health(OR=24.85),and experiencing burnout(OR=5.48)were risk factors for anxiety symptoms(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The prevalence rate of anxiety is relatively high in working population in Shandong Prov-ince,and anxiety is mainly associated with gender,education level,marital status,smoking,alcohol consumption,physical health status and burnout.

Objective:This study aims to investigate the prevalence and distribution characteristics of mental disorders among people aged 18 and above in Shandong Province.Methods:In 2015, an epidemiological survey was carried out to investigate the patterns of mental disorders in 49 counties of Shandong Province. A total of 28 000 individuals aged 18 years or older were selected using the multistage stratified cluster sampling method. All these participants were classified as at a high or low risk of mental disorders according to the assessment results of the revised version of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). The diagnosis of mental disorders was confirmed using the Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Forth edition (DSM-Ⅳ) axis I or MMSE. All participants at high risk of mental disorders were evaluated using DSM-Ⅳ or MMSE to confirm the psychiatric diagnoses, while 10% of participants at low risk of mental disorders were randomly selected to be evaluated. The prevalence and its 95% confidence interval of mental disorders were adjusted according to study design and sociodemographic characteristics of the sample. The between-group differences of prevalence were compared using chi-square tests or Fisher′s exact tests as appropriately.Results:A total of 27 489 individuals completed survey. The adjusted prevalence of any mental disorder was 17.46% (95 %CI 17.02%-17.89%). The five most prevalent mental disorder spectrums were substance use disorders (5.29%), mood disorders (4.47%), anxiety disorders (4.46%), intellectual and mental disorders due to physical or substance (1.91%), and psychotic disorders (1.12%). The most common mental disorders were alcohol use disorder (5.27%) and major depressive disorder (2.14%). The prevalence of mental disorders in men was higher than that in women (23.37% vs. 13.89%; χ 2=408.91, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of mental disorders between rural residents and urban residents (17.69% vs. 17.20%; χ2=1.05, P=0.305). Of participants with mental disorders, 26.12% (1 047/4 008) had moderate to severe functional impairment and 10.98% (428/3 898) have sought professional help. Conclusion:The prevalence of mental disorders among people aged 18 and above in Shandong Province is basically consistent with the results of similar domestic studies. The prevalence of mental disorder was higher in men than in women and was not differ in participants living in urban and rural areas. Alcohol use disorder, major depressive disorder, non-specific anxiety disorder and non-specific depressive disorder are most common mental disorders.

Objective:To assess the relationship of suicide knowledge and attitudes toward suicide to self-esteem among village physicians.Methods:A cross-sectional study was implemented in Zoucheng City of Shandong province.Non-probability sampling was conducted to select participants.A self-made questionnaire and the Self-esteem Scale (SES) were used.The knowledge of suicide and attitudes toward suicide were measured with the General Social Survey (GSS) for suicidal attitudes,the Suicide Attitude Questionnaire (QSA) for nature of suicidal behavior and the Scale of Public Attitudes about Suicide (SPAS) for suicide knowledge,prevention of suicide,social importance of suicide and positive attitude to suicide.Results:The scores of subscales for nature of suicidal behavior,social importance of suicide,preventability of suicide and positive attitudes toward suicide were 2.7,27,60,and 67.Mean score of the SES was 31.Regression analysis revealed the correlations between the scores of attitudes for the approvals of suicide,prevention of suicide subscale and social importance of suicide subscale and Self-esteem Scale.The village physicians with higher SES score were more likely to disapprove suicide and tended to believe that suicide was an important social problem and preventable.Conclusion:Self-esteem of village physicians could be related to the attitudes toward suicide for the approvals of suicide,and to its social importance and prevention of suicide.
