We estimated the prevalence of depression in 150 medical and surgical inpatients. Forty-three patients (29%) scoring at 14 or above on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were classified as depressed. An excess of women and white-collar workers and more stressful life events during the last 12 months were found among the depressed patients. Of the 21 BDI items, 6 differentiated the 43 medical-surgical depressed patients from a group of 43 psychiatric inpatients with a diagnosis of primary or secondary depression (Feighner's criteria). Medically ill depressed patients scored higher in social withdrawal, work inhibition and irritability but lower in loss of libido, sleep disturbance, and lack of satisfaction. Our results show rates of depression in a medical inpatient population in Greece comparable with those in other studies. The use of BDI may help assessment of depression in general hospital patients.
我们估算了150名内科和外科住院患者中抑郁症的患病率。43名在贝克抑郁量表（BDI）上得分14分及以上的患者被归类为抑郁症患者。抑郁症患者中女性、白领工人比例过高，且在过去12个月中经历的生活压力事件更多。在BDI的21个项目中，有6个项目能够区分43名内科-外科抑郁症患者与43名诊断为原发性或继发性抑郁症的精神科住院患者（费伊纳标准）。患有内科疾病的抑郁症患者在社交退缩、工作抑制和易怒方面得分较高，但在性欲减退、睡眠障碍和缺乏满足感方面得分较低。我们的结果显示，希腊内科住院患者中的抑郁症患病率与其他研究结果相当。使用BDI可能有助于评估综合医院患者的抑郁症情况。
