We report on the use of an instrument to measure exposure to stressors among 149 women presenting with their children for pediatric care at an urban primary care center. Overall, 38.3 percent of the women had significant levels of depressive symptoms; 71.4 percent of those in the "high stress" group had an adjusted prevalence odds ratio of 5.00 [95% CI = 2.12, 11.82]. We conclude that screening in the pediatric office is feasible for identifying women at high risk of becoming depressed.
我们报告了在一家城市初级保健中心,使用一种工具对149名带着孩子前来接受儿科护理的女性进行应激源暴露测量的情况。总体而言,38.3%的女性有显著程度的抑郁症状;“高压力”组中71.4%的女性调整后的患病率比值比为5.00[95%置信区间=2.12, 11.82]。我们得出结论,在儿科诊所进行筛查对于识别有抑郁高风险的女性是可行的。
