BACKGROUND
Few studies have focused on depression and social support in Eastern populations, especially women in rural China. Our research investigated depression among women in rural China, and studied the relationships between social support and depression.
METHODS
We recruited women ages 16 years and older from north Sichuan. Participants completed socio-demographic measures, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, and the Duke Social Support Index. The analysis method included descriptive statistics and logistic regression.
RESULTS
The final sample included 1,898 participants with a mean age of 48.6 years, and the prevalence of significant depressive symptoms was 12.4%. Results suggest being unemployed, having poorer perceived health/economic status, and lower social support were positively associated with depression. Younger age and greater social support were negatively associated with depression.
CONCLUSIONS
This study provides insights on the psychological health of women in rural China and potential directions for future research. These issues are especially pertinent during this time of rapid economic transformation and outmigration in rural China.
背景
很少有研究关注东方人群中的抑郁症与社会支持，尤其是中国农村女性。我们的研究调查了中国农村女性的抑郁症情况，并研究了社会支持与抑郁症之间的关系。
方法
我们从四川北部招募了16岁及以上的女性。参与者完成了社会人口学测量、流行病学研究中心抑郁量表以及杜克社会支持指数。分析方法包括描述性统计和逻辑回归。
结果
最终样本包括1898名参与者，平均年龄为48.6岁，显著抑郁症状的患病率为12.4%。结果表明，失业、自我感觉健康/经济状况较差以及社会支持较低与抑郁症呈正相关。年龄较小和社会支持较高与抑郁症呈负相关。
结论
本研究为中国农村女性的心理健康及未来研究的潜在方向提供了见解。在中国农村经济快速转型和人口外流的时期，这些问题尤为相关。
