Depressive symptoms are common among medical students. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of depressive symptoms among medical students in Sultan Qaboos University in Oman.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among a random sample selected from 1041 medical students at Sultan Qaboos University, Oman. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was used to screen for depressive symptoms. A logistic regression model was used to determine risk factors for depressive symptoms.
Of 197 medical students selected, 189 (61 men and 128 women) responded. The PHQ-9 results showed that the prevalence of depressive symptoms was 41.3%. In multivariate analysis, female students were more likely than male students to develop depression (adjusted odds ratio = 2.866, p = 0.004). Medical students with a family history of depression were more likely to develop depression than those without a family history of depression (adjusted odds ratio = 4.150, p = 0.014).
Depressive symptoms are common among medical students in Sultan Qaboos University. Risk factors for depressive symptoms are female sex and family history of depression.
抑郁症状在医学生中很常见。本研究的目的是确定阿曼苏丹卡布斯大学医学生中抑郁症状的患病率及危险因素。
对从阿曼苏丹卡布斯大学1041名医学生中随机抽取的样本进行了一项横断面研究。采用患者健康问卷-9（PHQ-9）筛查抑郁症状。使用逻辑回归模型确定抑郁症状的危险因素。
在选取的197名医学生中，189人（61名男性和128名女性）做出了回应。PHQ-9结果显示，抑郁症状的患病率为41.3%。在多变量分析中，女学生比男学生更易患抑郁症（调整后的优势比=2.866，p=0.004）。有抑郁症家族史的医学生比没有抑郁症家族史的医学生更易患抑郁症（调整后的优势比=4.150，p=0.014）。
苏丹卡布斯大学的医学生中抑郁症状很常见。抑郁症状的危险因素是女性性别和抑郁症家族史。
