Abstract:

Objective To analyze the main factors of depression and anxiety among pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients in Baoshan District of Shanghai, so as to provide evidence for targeted interventions. Methods Four hundred and eighty-seven patients with PTB registered in Baoshan District of Shanghai from January 1 to December 31, 2018, those who refused or unable to complete the investigate were excluded, a total of 356 patients with PTB were selected. We used Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), Social Support Rate Score (SSRS) for investigation. A total of 356 questionnaires were distributed, all the questionnaires were collected and valid, with an effective rate of 100.0%. Results The detection rate of depression and anxiety among PTB patients were 14.6% (52/356) and 6.2% (22/356) respectively. Univariate analysis showed that 48.1% (25/52) of middle social supporters had depression, which was significantly higher than the high social supporters (9.6%, 5/52; χ2=14.405, P=0.001). The detection rates of anxiety within junior high school education, income under 2000 yuan and low/middle social supporters were 36.4% (8/22), 59.1% (13/22) and 50.0% (11/22) respectively, which were significantly higher than those with senior high school education (13.6%, 3/22), income above 5000 yuan (9.1%, 2/22) and high social supporters (0.0%, 0/22), the difference was statistically significant (χ2=10.010, 21.884, 12.327, P=0.018, <0.001, 0.002). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that medium social support (high social support as reference, OR=3.782, 95%CI: 1.332-10.738) was the risk factor for depression, income <2000 yuan (income >5000 as reference, OR=8.415, 95%CI: 1.800-39.334) were the risk factors for anxiety. Conclusion The abnormal rate of anxiety and depression of PTB patients in Baoshan District of Shanghai is relatively high. The improvement of social support is helpful to alleviate the depression of patients and the income incense could attribute to relieve the anxiety of patients.
