Identifying factors associated with depression will help health care providers to design programs which improve quality of services provided to the inpatients. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and factors associated with depression among admitted patients at Adare General Hospital, Hawassa, Ethiopia, 2017/2018.
The mean age of the respondents was 38 years (SD ±15.39). The prevalence of depression was 38%. After adjusting for possible confounding variables; age category of 18-24 years [AOR = 1.24, 95 CI (1.08-5.73), having cardiovascular disease [AOR = 2.20), 95 CI (1.38-7.28)] and being in surgical ward [AOR = 1.92), 95 CI (2.13-4.12)] had statistically significant association with depression.

受访者的平均年龄为38岁(标准差±15.39)。抑郁症的患病率为38%。在对可能的混杂变量进行调整后;18 - 24岁年龄组[AOR = 1.24,95%置信区间(1.08 - 5.73)]、患有心血管疾病[AOR = 2.20,95%置信区间(1.38 - 7.28)]以及在外科病房[AOR = 1.92,95%置信区间(2.13 - 4.12)]与抑郁症有统计学显著关联。
