BACKGROUND
This is the first study investigating anxiety among women attending a primary care clinic in Malaysia.
AIM
The objective was to determine the factors associated with anxiety among these women.
DESIGN
This cross-sectional study was conducted in a government-funded primary care clinic in Malaysia. Consecutive female patients attending the clinic during the data-collection period were invited to participate in the study.
METHOD
Participants were given self-administered questionnaires, which included the validated Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7 questionnaire (GAD-7) Malay version to detect anxiety.
RESULTS
Of the 1023 patients who were invited, 895 agreed to participate (response rate 87.5%). The prevalence of anxiety in this study was 7.8%, based on the GAD-7 (score ≥8). Multiple logistic regression analysis found that certain stressful life events and the emotional aspect of domestic violence were significantly associated with anxiety (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
The prevalence of anxiety among women in this study is similar to that found in other countries. Factors found to be associated with anxiety, especially issues on domestic violence, need to be addressed and managed appropriately.
背景
这是首项调查马来西亚基层医疗诊所女性焦虑问题的研究。
目的
旨在确定这些女性焦虑相关因素。
设计
本横断面研究在马来西亚一家政府资助的基层医疗诊所进行。在数据收集期间，邀请在诊所就诊的连续女性患者参与研究。
方法
参与者填写自我管理问卷，其中包括经验证的广泛性焦虑障碍 7 项量表（GAD-7）马来语版本，以检测焦虑。
结果
在受邀的 1023 名患者中，895 名同意参与（应答率 87.5%）。根据 GAD-7（得分≥8），本研究的焦虑患病率为 7.8%。多因素逻辑回归分析发现，某些压力性生活事件和家庭暴力的情绪方面与焦虑显著相关（P<0.05）。
结论
本研究中女性的焦虑患病率与其他国家相似。与焦虑相关的因素，特别是家庭暴力问题，需要得到适当的关注和处理。
