This research aims to determine the mental health status of population aged 15 and over in the province of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari in 2015.
The statistical population of this cross-sectional field survey consisted of residents of urban and rural areas of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari in Iran. An estimated sample size of 1200 people was chosen using systematic random cluster sampling. The access was provided by the contribution of Geographical Post Office of Shahre Kord, Farsan and Farrokhshar cities. The General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28) was used as the screening tool for mental disorders. The analysis of data in the current study was carried out using the SPSS-18 software.
Using GHQ traditional scoring method, the results showed that 24.9% of the subjects were at risk of mental disorders (26.8% of females and 23% of males). Urban areas (27.1%) were more at risk of mental disorders compared with rural residents (19.1%). Anxiety and somatization symptoms were more frequent than depression and social dysfunction among respondents. The obtained data revealed that the prevalence of mental disorders increased with age. The results also indicated that mental disorders were more common in certain subgroups, in particular females, people aged 65 years and above, the divorced and widowed, illiterate and unemployed adults.
Our findings suggest that one fourth of the participants are at risk of developing mental disorders. Although the prevalence of these disorders has decreased from 39.1% to 24.9% between 1999 and 2015, it is still of great importance to further promote mental health policies and advocate psychological welfare of those suffering from mental disorders along with their re-empowerment.
本研究旨在确定2015年恰哈马哈勒-巴赫蒂亚里省15岁及以上人群的心理健康状况。
这项横断面实地调查的统计人群包括伊朗恰哈马哈勒-巴赫蒂亚里省城乡居民。采用系统随机整群抽样法选取了1200人的估计样本量。通过设拉子市、法尔桑市和法罗赫沙尔市地理邮局的协助获取样本。使用一般健康问卷-28（GHQ-28）作为精神障碍的筛查工具。本研究中的数据分析使用SPSS-18软件进行。
采用GHQ传统评分方法，结果显示24.9%的受试者存在精神障碍风险（女性为26.8%，男性为23%）。与农村居民（19.1%）相比，城市地区（27.1%）患精神障碍的风险更高。在受访者中，焦虑和躯体化症状比抑郁和社会功能障碍更为常见。获得的数据显示，精神障碍的患病率随年龄增长而增加。结果还表明，精神障碍在某些亚组中更为常见，特别是女性、65岁及以上人群、离婚和丧偶者、文盲和失业成年人。
我们的研究结果表明，四分之一的参与者有患精神障碍的风险。尽管这些障碍的患病率在1999年至2015年间从39.1%降至24.9%，但进一步推动心理健康政策并倡导精神障碍患者的心理福利以及他们的重新赋权仍然非常重要。
