The objective of the study was to examine the relationships between mental health conditions (posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD] only, depression only, and PTSD and depression) and related factors. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1362 adults from two severely affected townships at 6 months after the earthquake. The results of the analyses showed that the prevalence of depression and PTSD were 31.4% and 22.1%, respectively, 6 months after the earthquake. When PTSD and depression were treated as two separate dependent variables, PTSD and depression share almost similar sets of predictive factors. After its four categories (none, PTSD only, depression only, and PTSD and depression) were used as categorical dependent variables, there are different predictive factors. The findings suggest that there are two different groups of individuals, those who develop depression only in response to earthquake exposure and those who develop both depression and PTSD.
该研究的目的是检验心理健康状况(仅创伤后应激障碍[PTSD]、仅抑郁症以及PTSD和抑郁症)与相关因素之间的关系。在地震发生6个月后,对来自两个重灾乡镇的1362名成年人进行了横断面调查。分析结果显示,地震发生6个月后,抑郁症和PTSD的患病率分别为31.4%和22.1%。当将PTSD和抑郁症作为两个独立的因变量时,PTSD和抑郁症几乎共享相似的预测因素集。在将其四类(无、仅PTSD、仅抑郁症以及PTSD和抑郁症)用作分类因变量后,存在不同的预测因素。研究结果表明,有两类不同的个体,一类是仅因接触地震而患上抑郁症的人,另一类是同时患上抑郁症和PTSD的人。
