To assess the incidence of self-reported depression among pharmacy residents in Tennessee. A 50-question survey was distributed to pharmacy residency program directors across Tennessee. Using questions modified from the Major Depression Inventory scale, subjects were asked to identify personal signs or symptoms of depression. The researcher observed trends of depression and offered mental health education to participating programs. Eighty-four residents were potentially exposed to the survey with 50 participants, yielding a 59% response rate. Of the 50 residents, 19 self-reported feeling depressed during residency. More concerning, 11 residents reported having suicidal thoughts. Additionally, 13 residents voiced they would benefit from mental health resources. Self-reported depression among pharmacy residents is not uncommon. Defining mental health benefit resources at the beginning of residency would be beneficial.
评估田纳西州药房住院医师中自我报告的抑郁症发病率。向田纳西州各地的药房住院医师培训项目主管分发了一份 50 题的调查问卷。研究人员使用从《抑郁量表》中修改的问题，要求受试者识别个人抑郁的迹象或症状。研究人员观察了抑郁的趋势，并为参与的项目提供了心理健康教育。有 84 名住院医师可能接触到这项调查，其中有 50 名参与者，回应率为 59%。在 50 名住院医师中，有 19 名报告在住院期间感到抑郁。更令人担忧的是，有 11 名住院医师报告有自杀念头。此外，有 13 名住院医师表示他们将受益于心理健康资源。药房住院医师自我报告的抑郁并不罕见。在住院医师培训开始时确定心理健康受益资源将是有益的。
